CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS 2 INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization and Offering

Organization

Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2, and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our, is a publicly-owned, non-listed real estate investment trust, or REIT, formed as a Maryland corporation on May 22, 2014 for the purpose of investing in lodging and lodging-related properties. We expect to conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through CWI 2 OP, LP, or our Operating Partnership. We are a general partner and a limited partner and own a 99.985% capital interest in the Operating Partnership. Carey Watermark Holdings 2, LLC, or Carey Watermark Holdings 2, which is owned indirectly by W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC, holds a special general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.
Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC, or our advisor, is an indirect subsidiary of WPC. Our advisor will manage our overall portfolio, including providing oversight and strategic guidance to the independent hotel operators that manage our hotels. Our subadvisor, CWA2, LLC, a subsidiary of Watermark Capital Partners, will provide services to our advisor primarily relating to acquiring, managing, financing and disposing of our hotels and overseeing the independent operators that manage the day-to-day operations of our hotels. In addition, our subadvisor provides us with the services of our chief executive officer during the term of the subadvisory agreement, subject to the approval of our independent directors.

On May 30, 2014, we received a capital contribution from Carey REIT II, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of WPC, and an affiliate of our advisor, for $200,000 in exchange for 22,222 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Carey REIT II, Inc. purchased its shares at $9.00 per share, net of selling commissions and fees, which would have otherwise been payable to Carey Financial, LLC. On March 27, 2015, Carey Watermark Holdings 2 purchased a capital interest in the Operating Partnership representing its special general partnership interest of 0.015% for $300,000 .

Public Offering

On February 9, 2015, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), covering an initial public offering of up to $1,400,000,000 of Class A shares at $10.00 per share, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. The Registration Statement also covered the offering of up to $600,000,000 of Class A shares at $9.60 pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended Registration Statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering at $9.45 per share and under our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.07 per share, which was declared effective on April 13, 2015, allowing for the sales of Class A and Class T shares, in any combination, of up to $1,400,000,000 in the offering and up to $600,000,000 through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our initial public offering is being offered on a “best efforts” basis by Carey Financial, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, and other selected dealers. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of interests in lodging and lodging related properties. While our core strategy is focused on the lodging industry, we may also invest in other real estate property sectors. At March 31, 2015, subscription proceeds for our common stock have not reached the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 , and therefore we have not begun admitting stockholders.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim period presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

We had no significant operations as of March 31, 2015. We had no operating activity prior to June 30, 2014 and, therefore, no activity is presented for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consist of corporate general and administrative expenses ( Note 3 ), organization costs incurred in connection with our offering ( Note 3 ) and acquisition-related costs associated with future acquisitions. The consolidated financial statements reflect

CWI 2 3/31/2015 10-Q 7


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


all of our accounts, including those of our majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles general accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it is a variable interest entity, or VIE and, if so, whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We performed an analysis of all of our subsidiary entities to determine whether they qualify as variable interest entities and whether they should be consolidated or accounted for as equity investments in an unconsolidated venture. As a result of our assessment, we have concluded that none of our subsidiaries qualified as a variable interest entity. All our subsidiaries are consolidated under the voting interest entity model at March 31, 2015.

We account for the capital interest held by Carey Watermark Holdings 2 in the Operating Partnership as a noncontrolling interest.

Accounting for Acquisitions

In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed constitute a business. Each business combination is then accounted for by applying the acquisition method of accounting. We will record our investments in hotel properties based on the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity, and if applicable, recognizing and measuring any goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase at the acquisition date. Assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value and allocated to land, buildings, building and site improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangibles, as applicable, using appraisals and valuations performed by management and independent third parties. Fair values will be based on the exit price (i.e. the price that would be received in an orderly transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability between market participants at the measurement date). We will evaluate several factors, including market data for similar assets or similar in-place lease contractual agreements for intangible assets, expected cash flows discounted at risk adjusted rates and replacement cost for the assets to determine an appropriate exit cost when evaluating the fair value of our assets. We immediately expense, as incurred, all acquisition costs and fees associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations in which we expect to consolidate the asset and we capitalize these costs for transactions we expect to be acquisitions of an asset, including an equity investment. We will record debt assumed in business combinations at fair value. We will determine the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the current market interest rate risk. We will also consider the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the time until maturity and the current interest rate. Any resulting premium or discount will be amortized over the remaining term of the obligation.

Real Estate

We will carry land, buildings and personal property at cost less accumulated depreciation. We will capitalize improvements and will expense replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets. Renovations and/or replacements at the hotel properties that improve or extend the life of the assets will be capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred. We will capitalize interest and certain other costs, such as incremental labor costs relating to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments.

Cash

Our cash is held in the custody of a major financial institution, and this balance may, at times, exceed federally insurable limits, however management believes the credit risk related to this deposit is minimal.

Other Assets

Other assets consists of a deposit placed on our behalf by our affiliate, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI or

CWI 2 3/31/2015 10-Q 8


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


CWI 1, a publicly owned non-listed REIT investing in lodging properties that is also managed by our advisor, on the Courtyard Nashville Downtown, which we acquired during the second quarter of 2015, and deferred acquisition-related costs related to a potential future acquisition that we expect to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Federal Income Taxes

We intend to qualify as a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code, beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2015. Maintaining our qualification as a REIT will require us to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and to meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets.  In addition, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements including limitations on certain types of gross income. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that we distribute to stockholders as long as we meet such requirements and distribute all of our net taxable income on an annual basis. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT for any taxable year, our income will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we may not be able to elect REIT status in that year and for the next four years.  As a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to state and local income or excise taxes on our income, property or capital, and may pay federal, state and local income and excise taxes on undistributed income.

We may elect to treat one or more of our corporate subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for our tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of lodging facilities or providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility is operated). The Internal Revenue Code permits a TRS to lease from a REIT a lodging facility if the TRS engages an Eligible Independent Contractor to operate the facility under a management agreement or other service contract.  We intend to engage an Eligible Independent Contractor, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, whenever required to maintain our REIT status.  A TRS is subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions.

Depreciation

We will compute depreciation for hotels and related building improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties, site improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment.

Organization and Offering Costs

During the offering period, costs incurred in connection with the raising of capital will be recorded as deferred offering costs. Upon receipt of offering proceeds, we will charge the deferred costs to stockholder’s equity. Under the terms of our advisory agreement as described in Note 3 , we will reimburse our advisor for organization and offering costs incurred; however, such reimbursements will not exceed regulatory limitations. Organization costs are expensed as incurred and are included in corporate general and administrative expenses in the financial statements.

Distributions

We will begin to accrue daily distributions once subscription proceeds for our common stock reach the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 and we begin admitting stockholders.

Our first quarter 2015 declared daily distribution was $0.0016665 per share for our Class A common stock, comprised of $0.0013888 per day payable in cash and $0.0002777 per day payable in shares of our Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2015, we had not raised the minimum amount of subscription proceeds and, therefore, no distributions had accrued at that date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Requirements

The following Accounting Standards Updates, or ASUs, promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is applicable to us:

ASU 2014-09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a proposed ASU to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Under the proposal, ASU 2014-09 would be effective beginning in 2018, and early adoption is permitted but not before 2017, the original public company effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) . ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Specifically, ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and affects the evaluation of fee arrangements in the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30).  ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which are currently recognized as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-03 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Agreements with our Advisor and Affiliates

Effective February 9, 2015, we entered into an agreement with our advisor to perform certain services for us, including managing our offering, the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of lodging and lodging-related properties, and our overall business. Pursuant to the advisory agreement, after we have reached the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 , our advisor shall be reimbursed for all organization expenses and offering costs incurred in connection with our offering (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fees) of between 1.5% and 4.0% of the gross proceeds of our offering and distribution reinvestment plan, depending on the gross offering proceeds. See Note 4 for details of the maximum expense reimbursement cap range. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, organization expenses totaled $68,999 and were included in Corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. From inception through March 31, 2015, organization expenses and offering costs were approximately $177,068 and $2,045,516 , respectively. During the offering period, costs incurred in connection with the raising of capital will be recorded as deferred offering costs. Upon receipt of offering proceeds, we will charge the deferred offering costs to stockholder’s equity. Reimbursement of organization expenses and offering costs is contingent on raising the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 .

Our advisor will receive acquisition fees of 2.5% of the total investment cost of the properties acquired, as defined in our advisory agreement, described above. The total fees to be paid may not exceed 6% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments, as measured over a period specified in our advisory agreement. We also will pay our advisor an annual asset management fee equal to 0.55% of the aggregate average market value of our investments. Carey Watermark Holdings 2, an affiliate of our advisor, will also receive 10% of Available Cash distributions, as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. Our advisor may also receive disposition fees of up to 1.5% of the contract sales price of a property and loan refinancing fees of up to 1.0% of the principal amount of the refinanced loan. No such fees were earned by our advisor

CWI 2 3/31/2015 10-Q 10


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership also provides Carey Watermark Holdings 2 with an interest in subordinated disposition proceeds and subordinated incentive distributions upon a stock exchange listing.

Effective February 9, 2015, our advisor entered into a subadvisory agreement with our subadvisor whereby our advisor will pay 25% of the aforementioned fees and Available Cash distributions and 30% of the subordinated incentive distributions to our subadvisor. No such fees or distributions were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Effective February 9, 2015, we have entered into a dealer manager agreement with Carey Financial, LLC, an affiliate of our advisor, whereby Carey Financial, LLC will receive a selling commission of up to $0.70 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of up to $0.30 per share sold. No shares were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Amounts Due to Related Parties and Affiliates

At March 31, 2015, amounts due to related parties and affiliates of $2,040,679 represented amounts due to our advisor totaling $205,241 and amounts due to CWI totaling $1,835,438 . Amounts due to our advisor represent organization expenses, as discussed above, as well as reimbursement for the services of Michael G. Medzigian, our chief executive officer, which will subsequently be reimbursed to our subadvisor. Our subadvisor provides us with these services, during the term of the subadvisory agreement, subject to the approval of our board of directors. Amounts due to CWI primarily represent a deposit of $1,500,000 placed on our behalf by CWI on Courtyard Nashville Downtown, which we acquired during the second quarter of 2015. Amounts due to CWI also include audit-related fees incurred in connection with our acquisition with CWI of an interest in a joint venture owning the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa ( Note 5 ) and acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with a potential future acquisition and our acquisition of the Courtyard Nashville Downtown ( Note 5 ) totaling $335,438 , that were paid by CWI on our behalf during the first quarter of 2015, of which $86,800 was included in Corporate general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements.

Operating Expenses

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, our advisor is obligated to reimburse us for “operating expenses” to the extent that these expenses exceed the greater of 2% of “average invested assets” or 25% of our “adjusted net income,” as defined in that agreement. At March 31, 2015, we had no invested assets or net income, and therefore all operating expenses were the responsibility of our advisor. However, pursuant to the advisory agreement, if a majority of the independent directors finds these expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the Operating Partnership may reimburse our advisor in future quarters for the full amount of these expenses to the extent such reimbursements would not cause the operating expenses to exceed the 2% / 25% guidelines in the 12-month period ended on the last day of such quarter. In April 2015, the independent directors approved the future reimbursement to our advisor for certain expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaling $104,924 , which is included in Corporate general and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

In April 2015, our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC approved unsecured loans to us and CWI of up to an aggregate of $110,000,000 , at an interest rate equal to the rate at which WPC is able to borrow funds under its senior unsecured credit facility, for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions that we might not otherwise have sufficient available funds to complete. Any such loans are solely at the discretion of WPC’s management. At March 31, 2015, there were no such loans outstanding. See Note 5 for descriptions of such loans obtained subsequent to March 31, 2015.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2015, we were not involved in any litigation. Various claims and lawsuits may arise against us in the normal course of business, but we do not expect the results of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

We will be liable for certain expenses of our initial public offering, including filing, legal, accounting, printing and escrow fees, which are to be deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We will reimburse Carey Financial, LLC or selected dealers for certain organization and offering costs. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial, LLC and selected dealers in connection with the offering shall not exceed limitations prescribed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. Our advisor has agreed to be responsible for the repayment of (i) organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees paid to Carey Financial, LLC with respect to shares held by any clients of it and selected

dealers and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) which exceed in the aggregate 4% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are less than $500,000,000 , 2% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are $500,000,000 or more but less than $750,000,000 , and 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the offering if the gross proceeds are $750,000,000 or more; and (ii) organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) which exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the offering.

Note 5. Subsequent Events

Acquisitions

On April 1, 2015, we acquired a 50% interest in a joint venture owning the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa from our affiliate, CWI, which acquired the hotel in October 2014. The 511 -room resort is located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The joint venture’s total investment in the property is approximately $141,000,000 , including debt and acquisition-related expenses. Our investment in the property is approximately $70,520,000 in the aggregate, including our allocated portion of debt, acquisition-related costs and the reimbursement to CWI for 50% of the acquisition fee it paid to the advisor in October 2014, of which our portion totaled approximately $1,996,000 . The purchase price for our interest was 50% of CWI’s total equity investment. Our investment was financed, in part, by a loan from a subsidiary of WPC ( Note 3 ). We are the managing member of the joint venture and will consolidate this hotel. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the real estate assets acquired by the joint venture in connection with this acquisition totaled approximately $130,000,000 and was comprised of land, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment totaling approximately $26,000,000 , $95,000,000 and $9,000,000 , respectively.

On May 1, 2015, we acquired a 100% interest in Courtyard Nashville Downtown from Worthington Hyde Partners, an unaffiliated third party. The 192 -room, select-service hotel is located in Nashville, Tennessee. Our total investment in the property is approximately $69,700,000 , which was partially financed by a loan from a subsidiary of WPC ( Note 3 ). We also obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan at closing of $42,000,000 . We paid acquisition fees of approximately $1,746,000 . The hotel will continue to be managed by Marriott International.

It was not practicable to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation for the Courtyard Nashville Downtown acquisition or consolidated pro forma financial information for the acquisition of Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa and Courtyard Nashville Downtown, given the short period of time between the acquisition date and the issuance of this Report.

Loans from Affiliate

Through the date of this Report, we have obtained loans aggregating approximately $102,500,000 from a subsidiary of WPC, of which approximately $65,000,000 has been used to finance, in part, the acquisitions discussed above ( Note 3 ).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto as of March 31, 2015 .

Business Overview

We were formed on May 22, 2014 for the purpose of investing in lodging and lodging-related properties. We intend to qualify as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2015 and intend to conduct substantially all of our investment activities and own all of our assets through our Operating Partnership. We are a general partner and a limited partner and own approximately a 99.985% capital interest in the Operating partnership. Carey Watermark Holdings 2, which is owned by an indirect subsidiary of WPC, holds a special general partner interest in the operating partnership.

Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC is our advisor and will manage our business. Our advisor has retained CWA2, LLC, a subsidiary of Watermark Capital Partners LLC, to act as a subadvisor. Our advisor and subadvisor will manage our overall portfolio, including providing oversight and strategic guidance to the independent property operators that manage our hotels.

Significant Developments

Public Offering

On February 9, 2015, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), covering an initial public offering of up to $1,400,000,000 of Class A shares at $10.00 per share, was declared effective under the Securities act of 1933. The Registration Statement also covered the offering of up to $600,000,000 of Class A shares at $9.60 pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. On April 1, 2015, we filed an amended Registration Statement to include Class T shares in our initial public offering at $9.45 per share and under our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.07 per share, which was declared effective on April 13, 2015, allowing for the sales of Class A and Class T shares, in any combination, of up to $1,400,000,000 in the offering and up to $600,000,000 through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our initial public offering is being offered on a “best efforts” basis by Carey Financial, LLC and other selected dealers.

We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of interests in lodging and lodging related properties. While our core strategy is focused on the lodging industry, we may also invest in other real estate property sectors. At March 31, 2015, subscription proceeds for our common stock had not reached the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000, and therefore we had not begun admitting stockholders.

Subsequent Events

Acquisitions

As of the date of this Report, we entered into the following investments:

Acquired a 50% interest in a joint venture owning the Marriott Sawgrass Golf Resort & Spa from our affiliate, CWI. Our investment in the property is approximately $70,520,000 in the aggregate, including our allocated portion of debt, acquisition-related costs and the reimbursement to CWI for 50% of the acquisition fee it paid to the advisor in October 2014, of which our portion totaled approximately $1,996,000 ( Note 3 ). Our investment was financed, in part, by a loan from a subsidiary of WPC.

Our investment in the property is approximately $69,700,000, which was partially financed by a loan from a subsidiary of WPC ( Note 3 ). We also obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan at closing of $42,000,000.

Loans from Affiliate

Through the date of this Report, we have obtained loans aggregating approximately $102,500,000 from a subsidiary of WPC, of which approximately $65,000,000 has been used to finance, in part, the acquisitions discussed above ( Note 3 ).


CWI 2 3/31/2015 10-Q 13




Distributions

On March 24, 2015, our board of directors declared second quarter distributions for our Class A shares at a daily rate of $0.0016483 per share, comprised of $0.0013736 per day payable in cash and $0.0002747 per day payable in shares of our common stock for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, payable on or about July 15, 2015 to stockholders of record on each day of the quarter.

On April 22, 2015, our board of directors declared second quarter distributions for our Class T shares at a daily rate of $0.0013887 per share, comprised of $0.0011291 per day payable in cash and $0.0002596 per day payable in shares of our common stock for the quarter ending June 30, 2015, payable on or about July 15, 2015 to stockholders of record on each day of the quarter.

Daily distributions will begin to accrue once subscription proceeds for our common stock reach the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000.

Results of Operations

We will be dependent primarily upon proceeds received from our initial public offering to conduct our proposed activities. The capital required to purchase any property will be obtained from the offering proceeds, from any mortgage indebtedness that we may incur in connection with the acquisition of any property or thereafter or through short-term borrowings from WPC. We did not own any properties as of March 31, 2015. We were initially capitalized with $200,000 from the sale of 22,222 shares of our common stock to an affiliate of our advisor.

We incurred a loss of $428,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily comprised of corporate general and administrative expenses totaling $260,722 , which include organization expenses of $68,999 and acquisition-related costs and fees associated with future acquisitions totaling $167,642 . We immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with acquisitions that are accounted for as business combinations.

Financial Condition

Liquidity is affected adversely by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating expenses. To the extent that the working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowings from WPC for acquisitions. In addition, subject to limitations described in our prospectus, we may incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any property, refinance the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced property or reinvest the proceeds of financings or refinancings in additional properties.

If we qualify as a REIT, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders provided we meet certain conditions, including distributing at least 90% of our taxable income to stockholders. Our objectives are to pay quarterly distributions at an increasing rate, to increase equity in our real estate through regular mortgage principal payments and to own a geographically diversified portfolio of lodging properties that will increase in value. Our distributions may exceed our earnings and our cash flow from operating activities and may be paid from borrowings, offering proceeds and other sources, without limitation, particularly during the period before we have substantially invested the net proceeds from our initial public offering.

As a REIT, we will be allowed to own lodging properties but are prohibited from operating these properties. In order to comply with applicable REIT qualification rules, we will enter into leases for each of our lodging properties with the TRS lessees. The TRS lessees will in turn contract with independent property operators that will manage day-to-day operations of our properties under the oversight of the subadvisor.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

At March 31, 2015, we had limited exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of the date of this Report, we had no foreign operations and were not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.


CWI 2 3/31/2015 10-Q 14




Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our disclosure controls and procedures include our controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015 , have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31, 2015 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In January 2015, we implemented an enterprise resource planning system and accordingly have updated our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and to take advantage of enhanced automated controls provided by the new system. We have taken the necessary steps for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015 .

Other than as expressly noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


CWI 2 3/31/2015 10-Q 15




PART II

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are including the following additional risk factor, which should be read in conjunction with the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement on Form S-11 as filed with the SEC, as amended:

The DOL’s proposed regulation expanding the definition of fiduciary investment advice under ERISA could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

On April 14, 2015, the U.S. Department of Labor, or DOL, issued its re-proposed regulation addressing when a person providing investment advice with respect to an employee benefit plan or individual retirement account, or IRA, is considered to be a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, and the Internal Revenue Code. The new proposal offers a broader definition of fiduciary investment advice covering specific recommendations on investments, investment management, the selection of persons to provide investment advice or management, and appraisals in connection with investment decisions, thereby expanding the group that would be considered investment advice fiduciaries under ERISA. The proposed regulation is subject to a 75-day notice and public comment period ending on July 6, 2015 (75 days after the proposed regulation was published in the Federal Register). The DOL has announced that there will be a public hearing within 30 days after the end of the public comment period and that the comment period will be reopened after the hearing. We cannot predict whether or when the regulation may be finalized, or how any final regulation may differ from the proposed regulation. If the final regulation is issued with provisions substantially similar to the proposed regulation, it could impact our ability to raise funds through our public offering and our operations, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We are currently analyzing the potential impact of the proposed regulation.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
We did not issue any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Use of Proceeds

On April 13, 2015, our amended Registration Statement (File No. 333-196681) was declared effective by the SEC, allowing for the sale of Class A and Class T shares, in any combination, of up to $1,400,000,000 in our initial public offering and up to $600,000,000 through our distribution reinvestment plan. At March 31, 2015, subscription proceeds for our Class A and Class T common stock have not reached the minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 and we have not begun admitting stockholders.

Distributions in kind shall not be permitted, except for distributions of readily marketable securities, distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for the dissolution of the Corporation and the liquidation of its assets in accordance with the terms of the Charter or distributions in which (i) the Board advises each Stockholder of the risks associated with direct ownership of the property, (ii) the Board offers each Stockholder the election of receiving such in‑kind distributions, and (iii) in‑kind distributions are made only to those Stockholders that accept such offer.

Section 5.8.2     Determination of Suitability of Sale . The Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Common Shares by a Stockholder is a suitable and appropriate investment for such Stockholder. In making this determination, the Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall ascertain that the prospective Stockholder: (a) meets the minimum income and net worth standards established for the Corporation; (b) can reasonably benefit from the Corporation based on the prospective Stockholder's overall investment objectives and portfolio structure; (c) is able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on the prospective Stockholder's overall financial situation; and (d) has apparent understanding of (1) the fundamental risks of the investment; (2) the risk that the Stockholder may lose the entire investment; (3) the lack of liquidity of the Common Shares; (4) the restrictions on transferability of the Common Shares; and (5) the tax consequences of the investment.
The Sponsor and each Person selling Common Shares on behalf of the Corporation shall make this determination with respect to each prospective Stockholder on the basis of information it has obtained from such prospective Stockholder.

15
 




income, net worth, financial situation, and other investments of the prospective Stockholder, as well as any other pertinent factors.

RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
Section 6.1.      Shares.
Section 6.1.1     Ownership Limitations . During the period commencing on the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date, but subject to Section 6.3:
(a)      Basic Restrictions.
(i)      (1) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, (2) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the Common Share Ownership Limit and (3) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder.

 
16
 




(ii)      No Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares would result in the Corporation being " closely held " within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership that would result in the Corporation owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).
(iii)      Any Transfer of Shares that, if effective, would result in Shares being Beneficially Owned by less than 100 Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio , and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.
(b)      Transfer in Trust . If any Transfer of Shares occurs which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Shares in violation of Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii),
(i)      then that number of Shares the Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of which otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii) (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 6.2, effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Transfer, and such Person shall acquire no rights in such Shares; or
(ii)      if the transfer to the Charitable Trust described in clause (i) of this sentence would not be effective for any reason to prevent the violation of Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii), then the Transfer of that number of Shares that otherwise would cause any Person to violate Section 6.1.1(a)(i) or (ii) shall be void ab initio , and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.
To the extent that, upon a transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section 6.1.1(b), a violation of any provision of this Article VI would nonetheless be continuing (for example where the ownership of Shares by a single Charitable Trust would violate the 100 stockholder requirement applicable to REITs), then Shares shall be transferred to that number of Charitable Trusts, each having a distinct Charitable Trustee and a Charitable Beneficiary or Beneficiaries that are distinct from those of each other Charitable Trust, such that there is no violation of any provision of this Article VI.

 
17
 




Section 6.1.2     Remedies for Breach . If the Board of Directors or its designee (including any duly authorized committee of the Board) shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 6.1.1(a) or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Shares in violation of Section 6.1.1(a) (whether or not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or its designee shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including, without limitation, causing the Corporation to redeem Shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event; provided , however , that any Transfers or attempted Transfers or other events in violation of Section 6.1.1(a) shall automatically result in the transfer to the Charitable Trust described above, and, where applicable, such Transfer (or other event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or non‑action) by the Board of Directors or its designee.
Section 6.1.3     Notice of Restricted Transfer . Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares that will or may violate Section 6.1.1(a), or any Person who would have owned Shares that resulted in a transfer to the Charitable Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1.1(b), shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event, or in the case of such a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days' prior written notice, and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT.
Section 6.1.4     Owners Required To Provide Information . From the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date:
(a)      every owner of more than five percent (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding Shares, within 30 days after the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to the Corporation stating the name and address of such owner, the number of Shares Beneficially Owned and a description of the manner in which such Shares are held. Each such owner shall provide to the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Corporation's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit and the other restrictions set forth herein; and
(b)      each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Shares and each Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information as the Corporation may request, in good faith, in order to determine the Corporation's status as a REIT and to comply with requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

 
18
 




Section 6.1.5     Remedies Not Limited . Subject to Section 7.10, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its Stockholders in preserving the Corporation's status as a REIT.
Section 6.1.6     Ambiguity . In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or any definition contained in Article IV, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Section 6.1 or 6.2 requires an action by the Board of Directors and the Charter fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of Article IV or Sections 6.1 or 6.2. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors (which the Board may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 6.1.2) acquired Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares in violation of Section 6.1.1, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the Shares which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such Shares based upon the relative number of the Shares held by each such Person.
Section 6.1.7     Exceptions .
(a)      Subject to Section 6.1.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and the Common Share Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person if:
(iv)      the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain that no individual's Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of such Shares will violate Section 6.1.1(a)(ii);
(v)      such Person does not and represents that it will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a tenant of the Corporation (or a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant and the Board of Directors obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary to ascertain this fact (for this purpose, a tenant from whom the Corporation (or an entity owned or controlled by the Corporation) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small amount of revenue such that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, rent from such tenant would not adversely affect the Corporation's ability to qualify as a REIT, shall not be treated as a tenant of the Corporation); and

 
19
 




(vi)      such Person agrees that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Sections 6.1.1 through 6.1.6) will result in such Shares being automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust in accordance with Sections 6.1.1(b) and 6.2.
(b)      Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 6.1.7(a), the Board of Directors may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation's status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Board of Directors may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception.
(c)      Subject to Section 6.1.1(a)(ii), an underwriter which participates in a public offering or a private placement of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit or both such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering or private placement.
(d)      The Board of Directors may only reduce the Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder: (1) with the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or (2) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Common Share Ownership Limit.
Section 6.1.8     Increase or Decrease in Aggregate Share Ownership and Common Share Ownership Limits . Subject to Section 6.1.1(a)(ii), the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit for one or more Persons and decrease the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit for all other Persons; provided , however , that the decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit will not be effective for any Person whose percentage ownership in Shares is in excess of such decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit until such time as such Person's percentage of Shares equals or falls below the decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, but any further acquisition of Shares in excess of such percentage ownership of Shares will be in violation of the Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit and, provided further , that the new Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Share Ownership Limit would not allow five or fewer Persons to Beneficially Own more than 49.9% in value of the outstanding Shares.

 
20
 




Section 6.1.9     Legend . Any certificate representing Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:
The Shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on Beneficial Ownership and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose, among others, of the Corporation's maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust (a " REIT ") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Code "). Subject to certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of 9.8% (in value or number of Shares) of the outstanding Common Shares unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (ii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of 9.8% of the value of the total outstanding Shares, unless such Person is an Excepted Holder (in which case the Excepted Holder Limit shall be applicable); (iii) no Person may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares that would result in the Corporation being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) any Transfer of Shares that, if effective, would result in Shares being Beneficially Owned by less than 100 Persons (as determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio , and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares. Any Person who Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares which cause or will cause a Person to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess or in violation of the above limitations must immediately notify the Corporation in writing (or, in the case of an attempted transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice). If any of the restrictions on transfer or ownership as set forth in (i), (ii) or (iii) above are violated, the Shares in excess or in violation of the above limitations will be automatically transferred to a Charitable Trust for the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. In addition, the Corporation may redeem Shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of Directors determines that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions described above. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events, attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above may be void ab initio . All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Charter, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be furnished to each holder of Shares on request and without charge. Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office.
Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state that the Corporation will furnish a full statement about certain restrictions on transferability to a Stockholder on request and without charge. In the case of uncertificated Shares, the Corporation will send the holder of such Shares, on request and without charge, a written statement of the information otherwise required on certificates.
Section 6.2.      Transfer of Shares in Trust .
Section 6.2.1     Ownership in Trust . Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 6.1.1(b) that would result in a transfer of Shares to a Charitable Trust, such Shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Charitable Trustee as trustee of

 
21
 




a Charitable Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Charitable Trustee shall be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the Charitable Trust pursuant to Section 6.1.1(b). The Charitable Trustee shall be appointed by the Corporation and shall be a Person unaffiliated with the Corporation and any Prohibited Owner. Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Corporation as provided in Section 6.2.6.
Section 6.2.2     Status of Shares Held by the Charitable Trustee . Shares held by the Charitable Trustee shall continue to be issued and outstanding Shares. The Prohibited Owner shall have no rights in the Shares held by the Charitable Trustee. The Prohibited Owner shall not benefit economically from ownership of any Shares held in trust by the Charitable Trustee, shall have no rights to dividends or other Distributions and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the Shares held in the Charitable Trust.
Section 6.2.3     Dividend and Voting Rights . The Charitable Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other Distributions with respect to Shares held in the Charitable Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or other Distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Shares have been transferred to the Charitable Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such dividend or other Distribution to the Charitable Trustee upon demand and any dividend or other Distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Charitable Trustee. Any dividends or other Distributions so paid over to the Charitable Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares held in the Charitable Trust and, subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the Shares have been transferred to the Charitable Trustee, the Charitable Trustee shall have the authority (at the Charitable Trustee's sole discretion) (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Shares have been transferred to the Charitable Trustee and (ii) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the Charitable Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided , however , that if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Charitable Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VI, until the Corporation has received notification that Shares have been transferred into a Charitable Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other Stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of Stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of Stockholders.
Section 6.2.4     Sale of Shares by Charitable Trustee . Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Corporation that Shares have been transferred to the Charitable Trust, the Charitable Trustee shall sell the Shares held in the Charitable Trust to a Person, designated by the Charitable Trustee, whose ownership of the Shares will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 6.1.1(a). Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Charitable Trustee shall distribute the

 
22
 




net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 6.2.4. The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the Shares or, if the Prohibited Owner did not give value for the Shares in connection with the event causing the Shares to be held in the Charitable Trust ( e.g. , in the case of a gift, devise or other such transaction), the Market Price of the Shares on the day of the event causing the Shares to be held in the Charitable Trust and (2) the price per share received by the Charitable Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the Shares held in the Charitable Trust. The Charitable Trustee may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and other Distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Charitable Trustee pursuant to Section 6.2.3 of this Article VI. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that Shares have been transferred to the Charitable Trustee, such Shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such Shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Charitable Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such Shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6.2.4, such excess shall be paid to the Charitable Trustee upon demand.
Section 6.2.5     Purchase Right in Shares Transferred to the Charitable Trustee . Shares transferred to the Charitable Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Charitable Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of dividends and other Distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Charitable Trustee pursuant to Section 6.2.3 of this Article VI. The Corporation may pay the amount of such reduction to the Charitable Trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer until the Charitable Trustee has sold the Shares held in the Charitable Trust pursuant to Section 6.2.4. Upon such a sale to the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Charitable Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner.
Section 6.2.6     Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries . By written notice to the Charitable Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Charitable Trust such that (i) Shares held in the Charitable Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 6.1.1(a) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each such organization must be described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and contributions to each such organization must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code.

 
23
 




Section 6.3.      NYSE Transactions . Nothing in this Article VI shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated inter‑dealer quotation system. The fact that the settlement of any transaction occurs shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Article VI and any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations set forth in this Article VI.
Section 6.4.      Enforcement . The Corporation is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article VI.
Section 6.5.      Non‑Waiver . No delay or failure on the part of the Corporation or the Board of Directors in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.
Section 6.6.      Non-Compliant Tender Offers . No Stockholder may transfer any Shares held by such Stockholder to a Person making a Non-Compliant Tender Offer unless such Stockholder shall have first offered such Shares to the Corporation at the tender offer price offered in such Non-Compliant Tender Offer.

The determination as to any of the following matters, made in good faith by or pursuant to the direction of the Board of Directors consistent with the Charter, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Corporation and every holder of Shares: the review and ratification of the Charter by a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, at or prior to the first meeting of the Board of Directors; the amount of the net income of the Corporation for any period and the amount of assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends, redemption of Shares or the payment of other Distributions on Shares; the amount of paid‑in surplus, net assets, other surplus, annual or other cash flow, funds from operations, net profit, net assets in excess of capital, undivided profits or excess of profits over losses on sales of assets; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which such reserves or charges shall have been created shall have been paid or discharged); any interpretation of the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers or rights, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other Distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any class or series of Shares; the fair value, or any sale, bid or asked price to be applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the Corporation or any Shares; the number of Shares of any class of the Corporation; any matter relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of any assets by the Corporation; the application of any provision of the Charter in the case of any ambiguity, including, without limitation: (i) any provision of the definitions of any of the following: Affiliate, Independent Director and Sponsor, (ii) which amounts paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates are property-level expenses connected with the ownership of real estate interests, loans or other property, (iii) which expenses are excluded from the definition of Operating Expenses and (iv) whether expenses qualify as Organization and Offering Expenses; any conflict between the MGCL and the provisions set forth in the NASAA REIT Guidelines; or any other matter relating to the business and affairs of the Corporation or required or permitted by applicable law, the Charter or Bylaws or otherwise to be determined by the Board of Directors; provided , however , that any determination by the Board of Directors as to any of the preceding matters shall not render invalid or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination and no Director shall be liable for making or failing to make such a determination; and provided , further , that to the extent the Board determines that the MGCL conflicts with the provisions set forth in the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the NASAA REIT Guidelines control to the extent any provisions of the MGCL are not mandatory.

Section 7.10.      REIT Qualification . If the Corporation elects to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT, the Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the status of the Corporation as a REIT; however, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate the Corporation's REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code if a majority of the directors not otherwise interested in the transaction conclude that a failure to effect such a revocation or termination could result in material adverse tax consequences to the Corporation or its Stockholders. The Board of Directors also may determine that compliance with any restriction or limitation on stock ownership and transfers set forth in Article VI is no longer required for REIT qualification.
Section 7.11.      Removal of Directors .

ARTICLE VIII     

ADVISOR
Section 8.1.      Appointment and Initial Investment of Advisor . The Board is responsible for setting the general policies of the Corporation, including policies on investments and borrowing, and for the general supervision of its business conducted by officers, agents, employees, advisors or independent contractors of the Corporation. However, the Board is not required personally to conduct the business of the Corporation, and it may (but need not) appoint, employ or contract with any Person (including a Person Affiliated with any Director) as an Advisor and may grant or delegate such authority to the Advisor as the Board may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The term of retention of any Advisor shall not exceed one year, although there is no limit to the number of times that a particular Advisor may be retained. The Advisor or its Affiliates have made an Initial Investment of $200,000 in the Corporation. The Advisor or any such Affiliate may not sell this Initial Investment while the Advisor or its Affiliate remains a Sponsor but may transfer the Initial Investment to other Affiliates.
Section 8.2.      Supervision of Advisor . The Board shall review and evaluate the qualifications of the Advisor before entering into, and shall evaluate the performance of the Advisor before renewing, an Advisory Agreement, and the criteria used in such evaluation shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Board may exercise broad discretion in allowing the Advisor to administer and regulate the operations of the Corporation, to act as agent for the Corporation, to execute documents on behalf of the Corporation and to make executive decisions that conform to general policies and principles established by the Board. The Board shall monitor

 
27
 




the Advisor to assure that the administrative procedures, operations and programs of the Corporation are in the best interests of the Stockholders and are fulfilled. The Independent Directors are responsible for reviewing the fees and expenses of the Corporation at least annually or with sufficient frequency to determine that the expenses incurred are reasonable in light of the investment performance of the Corporation, its Net Assets, its Adjusted Net Income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs. Each such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Independent Directors also will be responsible for reviewing, from time to time and at least annually, the performance of the Advisor and determining that compensation to be paid to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and the investment performance of the Corporation and that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are being carried out. Specifically, the Independent Directors will consider factors such as (i) the amount of the fee paid to the Advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of the Net Assets, (ii) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Corporation, (iii) rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing the same or similar services, (iv) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Corporation, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the Corporation or by others with whom the Corporation does business, (v) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor, (vi) the performance of the Assets, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations, and (vii) the quality of the Corporation's portfolio relative to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The Independent Directors may also consider all other factors that they deem relevant, and the findings of the Independent Directors on each of the factors considered shall be recorded in the minutes of the Board. The Board shall determine whether any successor Advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function for the Corporation and whether the compensation provided for in its contract with the Corporation is justified.
Section 8.3.      Fiduciary Obligations . The Advisor shall have a fiduciary responsibility and duty to the Corporation and to the Stockholders.
Section 8.4.      Affiliation and Functions . The Board, by resolution or in the Bylaws, may provide guidelines, provisions or requirements concerning the affiliation and functions of the Advisor.
Section 8.5.      Termination . A majority of the Independent Directors may terminate the Advisory Agreement on 60 days' written notice without cause or penalty, and, in such event, the Advisor will cooperate with the Corporation and the Board in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.
Section 8.6.      Disposition Fee on Sale of Property . If the Advisor, any Director, the Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof provides a substantial amount of services in the effort to sell an Investment, then such Person may receive a fee in the amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of the Competitive Real Estate Commission (if applicable) or (ii) three percent of the Contract Sales Price. Total brokerage commissions (including real estate brokerage commissions) payable to all Persons shall

 
28
 




not exceed the lesser of (a) the Competitive Real Estate Commission or (b) an amount equal to six percent of the Contract Sales Price.
Section 8.7.      Incentive Fees . The Corporation may pay the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor an interest in the gain from the sale of Investments, provided the amount or percentage of such interest is reasonable. Such an interest in gain from the sale of Investments shall be considered presumptively reasonable if it does not exceed 15% of the balance of such net proceeds remaining after payment to Stockholders, in the aggregate, of an amount equal to 100% of the invested capital (through liquidity or Distributions), plus a six percent cumulative annual return. In the case of multiple Advisors, such Advisor and any of their Affiliates shall be allowed such fees provided such fees are distributed by a proportional method reasonably designed to reflect the value added to the Corporation's assets by each respective Advisor or any Affiliate. For these purposes, Stockholders will be deemed to have been provided with liquidity if the Shares are Listed, if Shares can be repurchased through the Corporation's repurchase plan on a quarterly basis without delay or some other liquidity device has been provided which enables Stockholders to receive cash or marketable securities for their Shares no less frequently than quarterly. The return requirement will be deemed satisfied if the total Distributions paid by the Corporation equals or exceeds 100% of the capital raised by the Corporation (less any amounts distributed from the sale or refinancing of any Investment). The market value will be calculated on the basis of the average market value of the Shares over the 30 trading days beginning 180 days after the Shares are first listed on a stock exchange or listed or included for quotation.
Section 8.8.      Limitation on Organization and Offering Expenses . The Organization and Offering Expenses shall be reasonable and shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 15% of the proceeds raised in the initial Offering. To the extent that all Organizational and Offering Expenses (excluding Selling Commissions and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) paid directly by the Corporation and its subsidiaries exceed (A) 4% of the Gross Proceeds if the Gross Proceeds are less than $500 million, (B) 2% of the Gross Proceeds if the Gross Proceeds are $500 million or more but less than $750 million, or (C) 1.5% of the Gross Proceeds if the Gross Proceeds are $750 million or more, the excess above the applicable percentage shall be paid by the Advisor.
Section 8.9.      Limitation on Acquisition Fees and Expenses . The total of all Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to six percent of the aggregate Contract Purchase Price of all Investments, measured for the period beginning with the initial acquisition of an Investment and ending (i) on December 31 of the year in which the Corporation has invested 90% of the net proceeds of its initial Offering (excluding the net proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan), and (ii) on each December 31 thereafter, unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in any transaction approves the excess as being commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Corporation. In the event that the Sponsor holds an Investment on an interim basis on behalf of the Corporation, all profits and losses generated from that Investment during the interim period will be paid to the Corporation.
Section 8.10.      Reimbursement for Total Operating Expenses . If Operating Expenses during the 12‑month period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Corporation exceed the

 
29
 




greater of (i) two percent of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12‑month period or (ii) 25% of the Adjusted Net Income of the Corporation during the same 12-month period (the " 2%/25% Guideline "), then subject to the following sentence, such excess amount shall be the sole responsibility of the Advisor and neither the Operating Partnership nor the Corporation shall be liable for payment therefor or if the Advisor has received reimbursement for the excess amount, the Advisor shall reimburse the Corporation within 60 days after the end of the 12-month period the amount by which the aggregate annual expenses paid or incurred by the Corporation exceed the above described limitations. The Independent Directors have the fiduciary responsibility of limiting such expenses to amounts that do not exceed such limitations unless a majority of the Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion thereof justified based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, in which case the Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor in future quarters for the full amount of such excess amount, or any portion thereof found to be justified by a majority of Independent Directors, but only to the extent such reimbursement would not cause the Operating Expenses to exceed the 2%/25% Guideline in the 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter. In no event shall the Operating Expenses payable by the Operating Partnership in any 12‑month period ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the 2%/25% Guideline. Within 60 days after the end of any 12-month period referred to in the foregoing for which Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) do exceed the 2%/25% Guideline and the Independent Directors determine that such excess Operating Expenses are justified, there shall be sent to the Stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the Independent Directors considered in ascertaining that such excess Operating Expenses were justified. Additionally, such information shall be reflected in the minutes of the meetings of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computation shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied in a consistent basis.
Section 8.11.      Reimbursement Limitation . The Corporation shall not reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee.
Section 8.12.      Other Activities of the Advisor . The Advisor shall not be restricted to administering the investment activities of the Corporation as its sole and exclusive function and may have other business interests and may engage in other activities similar or in addition to those relating to the Corporation, including the performance of services and advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other investments (including investments of the Advisor and its Affiliates). The Directors may request the Advisor to engage in other activities which complement the Investments, and the Advisor may receive compensation or commissions for those activities from the Corporation or other Persons. Nothing herein shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor, whether or not also a Director, officer or employee of the Company, to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor with or without remuneration may render advice and service to Persons involved with Investments. Except as provided in the Advisory Agreement, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to the Corporation even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to the Corporation, could be taken by the Corporation. In the event that the Advisor or its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment

 
30
 




which might be made by the Corporation or any wholly‑owned subsidiary corporation and by another investment entity which the Advisor or its Affiliates advises or manages, the Advisor shall determine the allocation of such potential investment in a fair and reasonable manner. It shall be the duty of the Directors (including the Independent Directors) to ensure such method is applied fairly to the Corporation.
ARTICLE IX     

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS
Section 9.1.      Review of Objectives . The Independent Directors shall review the investment policies of the Corporation with sufficient frequency (not less often than annually) to determine that the policies being followed by the Corporation are in the best interests of its Stockholders. Each such determination and the basis therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the meetings of the Board.
Section 9.2.      Certain Permitted Investments . The following provisions shall apply:
(a)      The Corporation may invest in Investments.
(b)      The Corporation may invest in Joint Ventures with the Sponsor, the Advisor, one or more Directors or any Affiliate thereof, only if a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve such investment as being fair and reasonable to the Corporation and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint venturers.
(c)      The Corporation may not invest in equity securities unless a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve such investment as being fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable to the Corporation.
Section 9.3.      Investment Limitations . In addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Board from time to time, consistent with the Corporation's objective of qualifying as a REIT, the following shall apply to the Corporation's investments:
(a)      Not more than ten percent of the Corporation's total assets shall be invested in Unimproved Real Property or mortgage loans on Unimproved Real Property.
(b)      The Corporation shall not invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts. This limitation is not intended to apply to future contracts, when used solely for hedging purposes in connection with the Corporation's ordinary business of investing in real estate assets and mortgages.
(c)      The Corporation shall not invest in or make any mortgage loan unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property except for those loans

 
31
 




insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases in which a majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in which the transaction is with the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Director, or any Affiliate thereof, such appraisal of the underlying property must be obtained from an Independent Appraiser. Such appraisal shall be maintained in the Corporation's records for at least five years and shall be available for inspection and duplication by any holder of Common Shares for a reasonable charge. In addition to the appraisal, a mortgagee's or owner's title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition of the title must be obtained.
(d)      The Corporation shall not make or invest in any mortgage loan, including a construction loan, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the Corporation, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of the property as determined by appraisal unless substantial justification exists because of the presence of other underwriting criteria. For purposes of this subsection, (i) investments in commercial mortgage backed securities shall be deemed not to be an investment in mortgage loans and (ii) the "aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including the loans of the Corporation" shall include all interest (excluding contingent participation in income and/or appreciation in value of the mortgaged property), the current payment of which may be deferred pursuant to the terms of such loans, to the extent that deferred interest on each loan exceeds five percent per annum of the principal balance of the loan.
(e)      The Corporation shall not invest in indebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property which is subordinate to the lien or other indebtedness of the Advisor, any Director, the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Corporation.
(f)      The Corporation shall not issue (A) equity Securities redeemable solely at the option of the holder (except that Stockholders may offer their Common Shares to the Corporation pursuant to any repurchase plan adopted by the Board on terms outlined in the Prospectus relating to any Offering, as such plan is thereafter amended in accordance with its terms); (B) debt Securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the most recently completed fiscal year) as adjusted for known changes is sufficient to properly service that higher level of debt, as determined by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized officer of the Corporation; (C) equity Securities on a deferred payment basis or under similar arrangements; or (D) options or warrants to the Advisor, the Directors, the Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof except on the same terms as such options or warrants, if any, are sold to the general public. Options or warrants may be issued to Persons other than the Advisor, the Directors, the Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof, but not at exercise prices less than the fair market value of the underlying Securities on the date of grant and not for consideration (which may include services) that in the judgment of the Independent Directors has a market value less than the value of such option or warrant on the date of grant. Options or warrants issuable to the Advisor, the Directors, the Sponsor or any

 
32
 




Affiliate thereof shall not exceed ten percent of the outstanding Shares on the date of grant. The voting rights per Share (other than any publicly held Share) sold in a private offering shall not exceed the voting rights which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of a publicly held Share as the consideration paid to the Corporation for each privately offered Share bears to the book value of each outstanding publicly held Share.
(g)      The consideration paid for an Investment by the Corporation shall ordinarily be based on the fair market value thereof, as determined by a majority of the Directors (or of the members of a duly authorized committee thereof) or the Advisor's investment committee. If a majority of the Independent Directors on the Board of Directors or such duly authorized committee determine, or if the Investment is acquired from the Advisor, a Director, the Sponsor or their Affiliates, such fair market value shall be determined by a qualified Independent Appraiser selected by such Independent Directors.
(h)      The aggregate Leverage shall be reasonable and shall be reviewed by the Board at least quarterly. The maximum amount of such Leverage shall not exceed the lesser of 75% of the total costs of the Corporation's investment or 300% of its Net Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Leverage may exceed such limit if any excess in borrowing over such level is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. Any such excess borrowing shall be disclosed to Stockholders in the next quarterly report of the Corporation following such borrowing, along with justification for such excess.
(i)      The Corporation will continually review its investment activity to attempt to ensure that it is not classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(j)      The Corporation will not make any investment that the Corporation believes will be inconsistent with its objectives of qualifying and remaining qualified as a REIT unless and until the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that REIT qualification is not in the best interests of the Corporation.
(k)      The Corporation shall not invest in real estate contracts of sale unless such contracts of sale are in recordable form and appropriately recorded in the chain of title.
ARTICLE X     

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Section 10.1.      Sales and Leases to the Corporation . The Corporation may purchase or lease an asset or assets from the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof upon a finding by a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation and at a price to

 
33
 




the Corporation no greater than the cost of the asset to such Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliate, or, if the price to the Corporation is in excess of such cost, that substantial justification for such excess exists and such excess is reasonable. In no event shall the purchase price paid by the Corporation for any such asset exceed the asset's current Appraised Value.
Section 10.2.      Sales and Leases to the Sponsor, Advisor, Directors or Affiliates . The Advisor, the Sponsor, a Director or any Affiliate thereof may purchase or lease Assets from the Corporation if a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction determine that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Corporation.
Section 10.3.      Other Transactions .
(a)      The Corporation shall not make Loans to the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliates thereof except Loans pursuant to Section 9.3(c) hereof or Loans to wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation. The Sponsor, the Advisor, the Directors and any Affiliates thereof shall not make Loans to the Corporation, or to joint ventures in which the Corporation is a co‑venturer, unless approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to the Corporation than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
(b)      The Corporation shall not engage in any other transaction with the Sponsor, the Advisor, a Director or any Affiliates thereof unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to the Corporation and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Corporation than those available from unaffiliated third parties.
ARTICLE XI     

STOCKHOLDERS
Section 11.1.      Meetings . There shall be an annual meeting of the Stockholders, to be held on such date and at such time and place as shall be determined by or in the manner prescribed in the Bylaws, at which the Directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be conducted; provided that such annual meeting will be held upon reasonable notice and within a reasonable period (not less than 30 days) following delivery of the annual report. The Board of Directors (including the Independent Directors) shall take reasonable steps to ensure that this requirement is met. The holders of a majority of Shares entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at an annual meeting at which a quorum is present, may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board, vote to elect the Directors. A quorum shall be the presence in person or by proxy of Stockholders entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter. Special meetings of Stockholders may be called in the manner provided in the Bylaws, including by the chairman of the board, the president, the chief executive officer, a majority of the Board of Directors or a majority of the Independent Directors, and shall be called by the secretary

 
34
 




of the Corporation to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of Stockholders upon written request of Stockholders entitled to cast not less than ten percent of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on such matter. Notice of any special meeting of Stockholders shall be given as provided in the Bylaws. If the meeting is called by the secretary upon the written request of Stockholders as described in this Section 11.1, notice of the special meeting shall be sent to all Stockholders within ten days of the receipt of the written request and the special meeting shall be held at the time and place specified in the Stockholder request not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days after the delivery of the notice; provided , however , that if no time or place is so specified in the Stockholder request, at such time and place convenient to the Stockholders. If there are no Directors, the officers of the Corporation shall promptly call a special meeting of the Stockholders entitled to vote for the election of successor Directors. Any meeting may be adjourned and reconvened as the Board may determine or as otherwise provided in the Bylaws.
Section 11.2.      Voting Rights of Stockholders . Subject to the provisions of any class or series of Shares then outstanding and the mandatory provisions of any applicable laws or regulations, the Stockholders shall be entitled to vote only on the following matters: (a) election or removal of Directors, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board, as provided in Sections 11.1, 7.4 and 7.11 hereof; (b) amendment of the Charter, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board, as provided in Article XIII hereof; (c) dissolution of the Corporation, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board; (d) merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets; and (e) such other matters with respect to which the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution declaring that a proposed action is advisable and directing that the matter be submitted to the Stockholders for approval or ratification. Except with respect to the foregoing matters, no action taken by the Stockholders at any meeting shall in any way bind the Board. Without the approval of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote on the matter, the Board may not (i) amend the Charter to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Stockholders; (ii) amend provisions of the Charter relating to director qualifications, fiduciary duties, liability and indemnification, conflicts of interest, investment policies or investment restrictions; (iii) liquidate or dissolve the Corporation other than before the initial investment in property; (iv) sell all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets other than in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by law; or (v) cause the merger or similar reorganization of the Corporation except as permitted by law.
Section 11.3.      Voting Limitations on Shares Held by the Advisor, Directors and Affiliates . With respect to Shares owned by the Advisor, any Director, or any of their Affiliates, neither the Advisor, nor such Director(s), nor any of their Affiliates may vote or consent on matters submitted to the Stockholders regarding the removal of the Advisor, such Director(s) or any of their Affiliates or any transaction between the Corporation and any of them. In determining the requisite percentage in interest of Shares necessary to approve a matter on which the Advisor, such Director(s) and any of their Affiliates may not vote or consent, any Shares owned by any of them shall be deemed not entitled to cast votes on the matter and shall not be included in making such determination.
Section 11.4.      Right of Inspection . Any Stockholder and any designated representative thereof shall be permitted access to the records of the Corporation to which it is entitled under applicable law at all reasonable times, and may inspect and copy any of them for a reasonable

 
35
 




charge. Inspection of the Corporation's books and records by the office or agency administering the securities laws of a jurisdiction shall be provided upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours.
Section 11.5.      Access to Stockholder List . An alphabetical list of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Stockholders, along with the number of Shares held by each of them (the " Stockholder List "), shall be maintained as part of the books and records of the Corporation and shall be available for inspection by any Stockholder or the Stockholder's designated agent at the home office of the Corporation upon the request of the Stockholder only if the Stockholder represents to the Corporation that the list will not be used to pursue commercial interests of the Stockholder unrelated to the Stockholder's interest in the Corporation. If the representation is not included with the request, the Corporation will mail a copy of the representation within five days. The Corporation will mail a list of the names and addresses of all Stockholders within 10 days (or five days if the Stockholder first requests a copy of the representation and returns it within 30 days) of the receipt of the request and the representation and the payment for cost of postage and duplication. The Stockholder List shall be updated at least quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein. The copy of the Stockholder List shall be printed in alphabetical order, on white paper, and in a readily readable type size (in no event smaller than ten‑point type). The Corporation may impose a reasonable charge for expenses incurred in reproduction pursuant to the Stockholder request. A Stockholder may request a copy of the Stockholder List in connection with matters relating to Stockholders' voting rights, and the exercise of Stockholder rights under federal proxy laws.
If the Advisor or the Board neglects or refuses to exhibit, produce or mail a copy of the Stockholder List as requested, the Advisor and/or the Board, as the case may be, shall be liable to any Stockholder requesting the Stockholder List for the costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by that Stockholder for compelling the production of the Stockholder List, and for actual damages suffered by any Stockholder by reason of such refusal or neglect. It shall be a defense that the actual purpose and reason for the requests for inspection or for a copy of the Stockholder List is to secure the Stockholder List or other information for the purpose of selling the Stockholder List or copies thereof, or of using the same for a commercial purpose other than in the interest of the applicant as a Stockholder relative to the affairs of the Corporation. The remedies provided hereunder to Stockholders requesting copies of the Stockholder List are in addition, to and shall not in any way limit, other remedies available to Stockholders under federal law, or the laws of any state.
Section 11.6.      Reports . For each fiscal year after the Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, shall take reasonable steps to insure that the Corporation shall cause to be prepared and mailed or delivered to each Stockholder as of a record date after the end of the fiscal year and each holder of other publicly held Securities, within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates, an annual report that shall include: (i) financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which are audited and reported on by independent certified public accountants; (ii) the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the period to the capital raised; (iii) the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of other fees paid to the Advisor and any Affiliate of the Advisor by the

 
36

EXHIBIT 4.1
CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS 2 INCORPORATED

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
1. Participation; Agent. Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated's Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") is available to stockholders of record of the Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, and the Class C Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, (collectively, the "Common Stock") of Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated ("CWI 2" or the "Company"). DST Systems, Inc. ("DST") acting as agent for each participant in the Plan, will apply cash distributions that become payable to such participant on shares of Common Stock (including shares held in the participant's name and shares accumulated under the Plan), to the purchase of additional whole and fractional shares of Common Stock of the same class for such participant, i.e. distributions paid on Class A Common Stock will be used to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock, and distributions paid on Class C Common Stock will be used to purchase additional shares of Class C Common Stock.
2.      Eligibility. Participation in the Plan is limited to registered owners of Common Stock. Shares held by a broker-dealer or nominee must be transferred to ownership in the name of the stockholder in order to be eligible for this Plan. Further, a stockholder who wishes to participate in the Plan may purchase shares through the Plan only after receipt of a prospectus relating to the Plan, which prospectus may also relate to a concurrent public offering of shares by CWI 2. CWI 2's board of directors' (the "Board") reserves the right to amend the Plan in the future to permit voluntary cash investments in Class A Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. A participating stockholder is not required to include all of the shares owned by such stockholder in the Plan, but all of the cash distributions paid on enrolled shares will be reinvested in shares of the same class.
3.      Stock Purchases. In making purchases for the accounts of participants, DST may commingle the funds of one participant with those of other participants in the Plan. All shares purchased under the Plan will be held in the name of each participant. Purchases will be made directly from CWI 2 at 96% of the estimated net asset value ("NAV") per share of CWI 2's Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, as estimated by Carey Lodging Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor") or another firm CWI 2 chooses for that purpose; provided, however, that during any period in which CWI 2 is conducting a public offering of its Class A Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, and until a subsequent NAV is determined, purchases will be made through the Plan at a price per share equal to 96% of the per share offering price of CWI 2's Class A Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, in the public offering. DST shall have no responsibility with respect to the market value of the Common Stock acquired for participants under the Plan.
4.      Timing of Purchases . DST will make every reasonable effort to reinvest all distributions on the day the cash distribution is paid (except where necessary to comply with applicable securities laws) by CWI 2. If, for any reason beyond the control of DST, reinvestment

 
 
 



of the distributions cannot be completed within 30 days after the applicable distribution payment date, participants' funds held by DST will be distributed to the participant.
5.      Account Statements . Following the completion of the purchase of shares after each distribution, DST will provide to each participant an account statement showing the cash distribution, the number of shares purchased with the cash distribution and the year-to-date and cumulative cash distributions paid.
6.      Expenses and Commissions . There will be no direct expenses to participants for the administration of the Plan. Administrative fees associated with the Plan will be paid by CWI 2. In no event will any discounts (including, without limitation, any discounts attributable to CWI 2's payment of brokerage commissions on behalf of the participants) on shares exceed 5% of the fair market value of such purchased shares.
7.      Taxation of Distributions . The reinvestment of distributions does not relieve the participant of any taxes which may be payable on such distributions.
8.      Stock Certificates . No stock certificates will be issued to a participant.
9.      Voting of Shares . In connection with any matter requiring the vote of either or both classes of CWI 2 stockholders, each participant will be entitled to vote all of the whole shares held by the participant in the Plan. Fractional shares will not be voted.
10.      Absence of Liability . Neither CWI 2 nor DST shall have any responsibility or liability as to the value of CWI 2's shares, any change in the value of the shares acquired for any participant's account, or the rate of return earned on, or the value of, the interest-bearing accounts, if any, in which distributions are invested. Neither CWI 2 nor DST shall be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims of liability: (a) arising out of the failure to terminate a participant's participation in the Plan upon such participant's death prior to the date of receipt of such notice, and (b) with respect to the time and prices at which shares are purchased for a participant. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, LIABILITY UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS CANNOT BE WAIVED. Similarly, CWI 2 and DST have been advised that in the opinion of certain state securities commissioners, indemnification is also considered contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable.
11.      Termination of Participation . A participant may terminate participation in the Plan at any time by written instructions to that effect to DST. To be effective on a distribution payment date, the notice of termination and termination fee must be received by DST at least 15 days before that distribution payment date. Upon receipt of notice of termination from the participant, DST may also terminate any participant's account at any time in its discretion by notice in writing mailed to the participant.
12.      Amendment, Supplement, Termination and Suspension of Plan . This Plan may be amended, supplemented or terminated by CWI 2 at any time by the delivery of written notice to each participant at least 10 days prior to the effective date of the amendment, supplement or

 
2
 



termination. Any amendment or supplement shall be effective as to the participant unless, prior to its effective date, DST receives written notice of termination of the participant's account. Amendment may include an appointment by CWI 2 or DST with the approval of CWI 2 of a successor agent, in which event such successor shall have all of the rights and obligations of DST under this Plan. CWI 2 may suspend the Plan with regard to either or both classes of Common Stock at any time without notice to the participants.
13.      Governing Law . This Plan and the authorization card signed by the participant (which is deemed a part of this Plan) and the participant's account shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland provided that the foregoing choice of law shall not restrict the application of any state's securities laws to the sale of shares to its residents or within such state. This Agreement cannot be changed orally.

CWI 2 will not borrow on a long-term basis from the Advisor or its Affiliates unless it is to provide the debt portion of a particular investment and CWI 2 is unable to obtain a permanent loan at that time or in the judgment of the Board, it is not in CWI 2's best interest to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and the Board has reason to believe that CWI 2 will be able to obtain a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates.
(f)      Changes To Fee Structure . In the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CWI 2 and the Advisor shall negotiate in good faith to establish a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors may consider any of the factors they deem relevant, including but not limited to: (a) the size of the advisory fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of CWI 2's portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of CWI 2; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with CWI 2, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by CWI 2 or by others with whom CWI 2 does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of CWI 2, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (g) the quality of the portfolio of CWI 2 in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for the account of other clients. The Independent Directors shall not approve any new fee structure that is in their judgment more favorable (taken as a whole) to the Advisor than the current fee structure.
(g)      Payment . Compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to this Section  9 shall be paid in cash; provided , however , that any fee payable pursuant to this Section  9 may be paid, at the option of the Advisor, in the form of: (i) cash, (ii) restricted Class A common stock of CWI 2, or (iii) a combination of cash and Class A common restricted stock. The Advisor shall notify CWI 2 in writing annually of the form in which the fee shall be paid. Such notice shall be provided no later than January 15 of each year. If no such notice is provided, the fee shall be paid in cash. For purposes of the payment of compensation to the Advisor in the form of stock, the value of each share of restricted stock shall be: (i) the Net Asset Value per Share as determined based on the most recent appraisal of CWI 2's assets performed by an Independent Appraiser, or (ii) if a public offering of CWI 2 common stock is then ongoing, the price to the public per share, including selling commissions and fees. The Net Asset Value determined on the basis of such appraisal may be adjusted on a quarterly or other basis by the Board to account for significant capital transactions. Stock issued by CWI 2 to the Advisor in payment of fees hereunder shall be governed by the terms set forth in Schedule A hereto, or such other terms as the Advisor and CWI 2 may from time to time agree.

(vii)      interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other similar fees;
(viii)      taxes and assessments on income of CWI 2, to the extent paid or advanced by the Advisor, or on Investments and taxes as an expense of doing business;

(b)      Expenses described in clause (xviii) of Section 10(a) and any other expenses described in Section 10(a) that are shared expenses of CWI 2 and CWI 1, shall be allocated between them based upon the percentage that CWI 2's or CWI 1's, as applicable, total revenues for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters represent of the combined total revenues for such period of CWI 2 and CWI 1 (provided that if any such entity has not been in operation for the full four quarter period, the period for which such entity has been in operation shall be annualized), or such other methodology as may be approved by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). No reimbursement shall be made for the cost of personnel to the extent that such personnel are used in transactions for which the Advisor receives a separate transaction fee.
(c)      Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of CWI 2 and payable pursuant to this Section  10 shall be reimbursed quarterly to the Advisor within 60 days after the end of each quarter, subject to the provisions of Section 13 hereof. The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the Operating Expenses of CWI 2 within 45 days after the end of each quarter.
11.      Other Services . Should the Board request that the Advisor or any Affiliate, shareholder or employee thereof render services for CWI 2 other than as set forth in Section  3 hereof, such services shall be separately compensated and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
12.      Fidelity Bond . The Advisor shall maintain a fidelity bond for the benefit of CWI 2 which bond shall insure CWI 2 from losses of up to $5,000,000 and shall be of the type customarily purchased by entities performing services similar to those provided to CWI 2 by the Advisor.
13.      Limitation on Expenses .
(a)      If Operating Expenses during the 12-month period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of CWI 2 exceed the greater of (i) two percent of the Average Invested Assets during the same 12-month period or (ii) 25% of the Adjusted Net Income of CWI 2 over the same 12-month period (the " 2%/25% Guidelines "), then subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 13, such excess amount shall be the sole responsibility of the Advisor and neither the Operating Partnership nor CWI 2 shall be liable for payment therefor. CWI 2 may defer the payment or distribution to the Advisor and the Special General Partner of fees, expenses and distributions that would, if paid or distributed, cause Operating Expenses during such 12-month period to exceed the foregoing limitations; provided, however , that in determining which items shall be paid and which may be deferred, priority will be given to the payment of distributions to the Special General Partner over the payment to the Advisor of amounts due under this Agreement.
(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Advisor becomes responsible for any excess amount as provided in paragraph (a), if a majority of the Independent Directors finds such excess amount or a portion thereof justified based on such unusual and non-recurring factors as they deem sufficient, the Operating Partnership shall reimburse the Advisor in future quarters for the full amount of such excess, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such reimbursement would not cause the Operating Expenses to exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines in the 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter. In no event shall the Operating Expenses payable by the Operating Partnership in any 12-month period ending at the end of a fiscal quarter exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.
(c)      Within 60 days after the end of any 12‑month period referred to in paragraph (a), the Advisor shall reimburse CWI 2 for any amounts expended by CWI 2 in such 12‑month period that exceeds the limitations provided in paragraph (a) unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess expenses are justified, as provided in paragraph (b), and provided the Operating Expenses for such later quarter would not thereby exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.
(d)      All computations made under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section  13 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
(e)      If the Special General Partner receives distributions pursuant to the agreement of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership in respect of realized gains on the disposition of an Investment, Adjusted Net Income, for purposes of calculating the Operating Expenses, shall exclude the gain from the disposition of such Investment.
14.      Other Activities of the Advisor .
(a)      Subject to the Guidelines, nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor from engaging in other activities, including without limitation, direct investment by the Advisor and its Affiliates in assets that would be suitable for CWI 2 the rendering of advice to other investors (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 the Advisor or any of its Affiliates or of any director, member, officer, employee or shareholder of the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in which CWI 2 is a participant, also render advice and service to each other participant therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CWI 2 acknowledges that (i) affiliates of the Advisor provide or will provide services to the CPA ® REIT funds, (ii) W. P. Carey Inc. owns investments in lodging properties which are not being contributed to CWI 2 which it will continue to own and manage and (iii) the Advisor and its Affiliates may provide services to other programs sponsored or managed by W. P. Carey Inc. whether now in existence or formed hereafter, and (iv) WP Carey Inc. and its Affiliates may make future investments for their own account. The Advisor shall be responsible for promptly reporting to the Board the existence of any actual or potential conflict of interest that arises that may affect its performance of its duties under this Agreement. If the Sponsor, Advisor, Director or Affiliates thereof has or have sponsored other investment programs with similar investment objectives which have investment funds available at the same time as CWI 2, it shall be the duty of the Advisor to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner and in accordance with the Guidelines.
(b)      The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to present a continuing and suitable investment program to CWI 2 that is consistent with the investment objectives and policies of CWI 2, but subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, neither the Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated generally to present any particular investment opportunity to CWI 2 even if the opportunity is of character which, if presented to CWI 2, could be taken by CWI 2. If an Investment Opportunity is presented to, and rejected by, the investment committee of CWI 2, the Advisor shall be free to allocate such Investment Opportunity to itself or to another entity managed by it or its Affiliates.
(c)      The Advisor shall not consent to any material amendment of Section 4(a) of the Subadvisory Agreement without the prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors.
Once each quarter, senior representatives of the Advisor will meet with at least a majority of the Independent Directors for the purpose of reviewing the Advisor's compliance with the Guidelines with respect to all Investments allocated among W. P. Carey Inc., CWI 2 and each other REIT and investment program managed by an Affiliate of W. P. Carey Inc. (each, together with its Affiliates, an " Investment Entity ," and collectively, the " Investment Entities ") during the most recently completed fiscal quarter. The quarterly review will take place at the regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors, or at another time and place that are mutually determined by the Advisor and the Independent Directors, and may include representatives of other Investment Entities. The Advisor will use its best efforts to distribute a report reasonably in advance of each quarterly review meeting containing a list of all Investments allocated to the Investment Entities, the particular Investment Entity to which each Investment was allocated, a brief description of the Investment, the purchase price of each Investment and acquisition fees (if any) paid to the Advisor and its Affiliates in connection with each Investment. Representatives of the Advisor shall be prepared to discuss each Investment and the reasons for its allocation to particular Investment Entities at the quarterly review meeting.
15.      Relationship of Advisor and CWI 2 . CWI 2 and the Advisor agree that they have not created and do not intend to create by this Agreement a joint venture or partnership relationship between them and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as partners or joint venturers on either of them.
16.      Term; Termination of Agreement . This Agreement, as amended and restated, shall continue in force until December 31, 2016 or until 60 days after the date on which the Independent Directors shall have notified the Advisor of their determination either to renew this Agreement for an additional one-year period or terminate this Agreement, as required by the Articles of Incorporation.
17.      Termination by CWI 2 . At the sole option of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors), this Agreement may be terminated immediately by written notice of termination from CWI 2 to the Advisor upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Cause or if any of the following events occur:
(a)      If the Advisor shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, or trustee of the Advisor, for all or substantially all of its property by reason of the foregoing, or if a court of competent jurisdiction approves any petition filed against the Advisor for reorganization, and such adjudication or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or
(b)      If the Advisor shall institute proceedings for voluntary bankruptcy or shall file a petition seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws, or for relief under any law for relief of debtors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver for itself or for all or substantially all of its property, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts, generally, as they become due.
Any notice of termination under Section  16 or 17 hereof shall be effective on the date specified in such notice, which may be the day on which such notice is given or any date thereafter. The Advisor agrees that if any of the events specified in this Section  17(a) or (b) shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to the Board within 15 days after the occurrence of such event.
18.      Termination by Either Party . This Agreement may be terminated immediately without penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section  20 hereof) by the Advisor by written notice of termination to CWI 2 upon the occurrence of events which would constitute Good Reason or by CWI 2 without cause or penalty (but subject to the requirements of Section  20 hereof) by action of the Directors, a majority of the Independent Directors or by action of a majority of the Shareholders, in each case upon 60 days' written notice.
19.      Assignment Prohibition . This Agreement may not be assigned by the Advisor without the prior written approval of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors); provided, however, that such approval shall not be required in the case of an assignment to a corporation, partnership, association, trust or organization which takes over the assets and carries on the affairs of the Advisor, provided : (i) that at the time of such assignment, such successor organization shall be owned substantially by an entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Advisor and only if such entity has a net worth of at least $5,000,000, and (ii) that the board of directors of the Advisor shall deliver to the Board a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure and net worth of the successor organization and a certification from the new Advisor as to its net worth. Such an assignment shall bind the assignees hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound by this Agreement. The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement may not be assigned by CWI 2 or the Operating Partnership without the prior written consent of the Advisor except in case of an assignment to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to CWI 2 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 CWI 2 or the Operating Partnership is bound by this Agreement.
20.      Payments to and Duties of Advisor Upon Termination .
(a)      After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further services hereunder but shall be entitled to receive from CWI 2 the following:
(i)      all unpaid reimbursements of Organization and Offering Expenses and of Operating Expenses payable to the Advisor;
(ii)      all earned but unpaid Asset Management Fees payable to the Advisor prior to the Termination Date;
(iii)      all earned but unpaid Acquisition Fees payable to the Advisor relating to the acquisition of any Property prior to the Termination Date;

(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by CWI 2 for Cause, or by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, the Advisor will not be entitled to receive the sums in this Section 20(a) (ii) through (v).
(c)      Any and all amounts payable to the Advisor pursuant to Section  20(a) hereof that, irrespective of the termination, were payable on a current basis prior to the Termination Date either because they were not subordinated or all conditions to their payment had been satisfied, shall be paid within 90 days after the Termination Date. All other amounts shall be paid in a manner determined by the Board, but in no event on terms less favorable to the Advisor than those represented by a note (i) maturing upon the liquidation of CWI 2 or the Operating Partnership or three years from the Termination Date, whichever is earlier, (ii) with no less than twelve equal quarterly installments and (iii) bearing a fair, competitive and commercially reasonable interest rate (the " Note "). The Note, if any, may be prepaid by the Operating Partnership at any time prior to maturity with accrued interest to the date of payment but without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts that relate to Investments (A) shall be an amount which provides compensation to the Advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the respective Investments during which the Advisor provided services to CWI 2, (B) shall not be due and payable until the Property, Loan or Other Permitted Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced, and (C) shall not bear interest until the Property, Loan or Other Permitted Investment Asset to which such amount relates is sold or refinanced. A portion of the amount shall be paid as each Investment owned by CWI 2 on the Termination Date is sold. The portion of such amount payable upon each such sale shall be equal to (X) such amount multiplied by (Y) the percentage calculated by dividing the fair value (at the Termination Date) of the Investment sold by CWI 2 divided by the total fair value (at the Termination Date) of all Investments owned by CWI 2 on the Termination Date.
(d)      The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:
(i)      pay over to the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the account of CWI 2 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 statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of the last accounting furnished to the Board;
(iii)      deliver to the Board all assets, including the Properties, Loans, and Other Permitted Investment Assets, and documents of CWI 2 then in the custody of the Advisor; and
(iv)      cooperate with CWI 2 to provide an orderly management transition.
21.      Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire Following Termination . None of CWI 2 or any of its Affiliates will, for a period of 24 months after the termination of this Agreement for any reason, solicit for employment or employ, solicit for engagement or engage, including as an advisor, subadvisor, consultant or independent contractor, (i) any officer, director or management employee, or any other employee with whom CWI 2 or its Affiliates came into contact in connection with the services to be provided under this Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, in each case of the Advisor or the Subadvisor or any of their respective Affiliates (each a "Restricted Person") or (ii) any Affiliate of a Restricted Person.
22.      Indemnification by CWI 2 and the Operating Partnership .

23.      Indemnification by Advisor . The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless CWI 2 and the Operating Partnership from 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, willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties.
24.      Joint and Several Obligations . Any obligations of CWI 2 shall be construed as the joint and several obligations of CWI 2 and the Operating Partnership, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.
25.      Notices . Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other communication is accepted by the party to whom it is given, and shall be given by being delivered by hand or by overnight mail or other overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth herein:

During the First Offer Period (as defined in the Subadvisory Agreement), the Advisor agrees to offer to the investment committee of CWI 2 the opportunity for CWI 2 to invest in all Investment Opportunities sourced by the Advisor.
During the First Offer Period, the Subadvisor (pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement) agrees to offer to the investment committee of CWI 2 the opportunity to invest in all Investment Opportunities sourced by the Subadvisor.
The Advisor shall consider the following factors, together with such other factors as it deems relevant in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, when deciding how to allocate Investment Opportunities between CWI 2, on the one hand, and the Advisor and its Affiliates and other entities managed by the Advisor and its Affiliates in a fair and equitable manner
whether an entity is still in its fundraising and acquisition stage, or has substantially invested the proceeds from its fundraising stage;
the amount of funds available for investment by an entity and the length of time that such funds have been available for investment;
the effect of the Investment on the diversification of an entity's portfolio;
the effect of the Investment on the profile of an entity's mortgage maturity profile;
the ability of an entity to service any debt associated with the Investment;
the effect of the Investment on the ability of the entity to comply with any restrictions on investments and indebtedness contained in the Investment Entity's governing documents and public SEC filings, in any contract or in any law or regulation applicable to the Investment Entity;
whether an entity was formed for the purpose of making a particular type of investment;
the financial attributes of the Investment;
the future capital expenditures and other investments planned for the Investment;




the effect of the Investment on the Investment Entity's intention to qualify as a REIT, partnership or other type of entity for tax purposes; and
the effect of the Investment on an Investment Entity's intention not to be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Advisor and the Subadvisor shall make investment allocation decisions without regard to the relative fees or other compensation that would be paid to the Advisor or the Subadivisor and their respective Affiliates in connection with the applicable Investments.

Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50 % or more of the voting equity of the entity issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent entity, if any), (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of CWI 2 or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of CWI 2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by CWI 2 which, by reducing the number of Shares outstanding, increases (A) the proportionate number of Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the Shares then outstanding, or (B) the proportionate voting power represented by the Shares beneficially owned by any person to 25% or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided , however , that if any person referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional Shares or other Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a Share split, Share dividend, or similar transaction), then a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i).
3.      Exception . Notwithstanding anything else in the Agreement to the contrary, the Shares shall continue to vest according to the vesting schedule in this Section A regardless of: (a) the expiration of the Agreement for any reason other than a termination by CWI 2 for Cause or a resignation by the Advisor for other than Good Reason, (b) the merger of CWI 2 and an Affiliate of CWI 2, or (c) any Change of Control of CWI 2 in connection with a merger of CWI 2 with an Affiliate of CWI 2.

The balance of the Distributions of Available Cash owed to the Subadvisor for a fiscal quarter shall be paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor promptly after receipt of the underlying Distributions of Available Cash from the REIT (whether in cash or in shares of stock of CWI 2), and if the Estimated Distribution Amount previously received by the Subadvisor exceeds 25% of the actual amount of the Distributions of Available Cash actually received by the Advisor for the applicable fiscal quarter, the Subadvisor shall promptly return the excess to the Advisor. Advisor shall be deemed to have received the consideration underlying the Subadvisory Base Fee from the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership on such date that Advisor or its Affiliates receive U.S. Dollars, securities, notes, or any other form of consideration from the REIT and/or the Operating Partnership in payment thereof.
(b)      Advisor shall provide Advisor's calculation of the amount of the Subadvisory Base Fee when Advisor remits the Subadvisory Base Fee for payment, and shall, upon Subadvisor's reasonable request, provide Subadvisor with access to its books and records to enable Subadvisor to verify such calculation. The Subadvisory Base Fee shall be paid in immediately available funds.
(c)      As additional compensation to the Subadvisor, the Subadvisor shall be entitled to receive from the Advisor an additional payment, in U.S. Dollars, in respect of any taxable year of the Special General Partner in which the Special General Partner receives at least $1.0 million of Distributions of Available Cash that is subject to tax at Federal capital gains rates (the "Net Capital Gains"). The amount of the Additional Payment will be equal to the difference between: (i) 25% of the Net Capital Gains multiplied by the Presumed Capital Gains Tax Rate; minus (ii) 25% of the Net Capital Gains multiplied by the Presumed Ordinary Tax Rate. Good faith estimates of the Net Capital Gains, if any, for a taxable year shall be made by the Advisor on a quarterly basis and provided to the Subadvisor, and an estimated payment of one-quarter of the annual amount of any Additional Payment expected to be made on the basis of such quarterly estimates will be made by the Advisor to the Subadvisor no later than 5 Business Days before the date by which the Subadvisor is required to pay estimated Federal and State taxes in respect of such quarter. On or before March 15 following the end of a taxable year, the Advisor shall calculate the amount of the Additional Payment, if any, due in respect of such taxable year and provide a copy of the calculations and a copy of the Special General Partner's annual tax report on Form K-1 to the Subadvisor.

payments previously made to the Subadvisor in respect of such taxable year, the Advisor shall promptly, and in any event within 5 Business Days after receipt of the calculations, pay the Subadvisor the amount of the shortfall.

(e)      Subadvisor shall not be entitled to any other compensation from Advisor other than as set forth in this Section 5 (other than the reimbursement of expenses in accordance with Section 6).
Section 6.      Expenses of Subadvisor .
(a)      Advisor shall reimburse Subadvisor for all expenses (the " Reimbursable Expenses ") actually incurred by Subadvisor on Advisor's or the REIT's behalf in connection with the Services and which would be reimbursable under the Advisory Agreement if incurred by Advisor; provided, however, that (i) the personnel costs that shall be reimbursed to Subadvisor relating to MGM's involvement in asset management activities shall not exceed $50,000 per quarter; and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Advisor shall have no obligation to reimburse Subadvisor for Reimbursable Expenses unless and until the REIT reimburses Advisor for such Reimbursable Expenses.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as determined by JAMS. The arbitrators shall hear and determine the controversy in accordance with New York law and upon the evidence produced at an arbitration hearing scheduled at the request of any party. It is the intention of the Parties to avoid the expense and delay that encumbers the normal litigation process, particularly with respect to discovery matters. Absent the agreement of the Parties to the arbitration to the contrary, the arbitrators shall permit only such discovery (with appropriate conditions and limitations) as is necessary to enable the hearing to proceed efficiently. The arbitrators shall have authority to grant any form of appropriate relief, whether legal or equitable in nature, including specific performance. The arbitrators shall be requested to render their decision within thirty (30) days from the date the arbitration proceedings are initiated, and a decision joined in by not less than two (2) of such arbitrators shall be deemed to be the decision of the panel. Judgment on the award of the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(b)      Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 21(a), each Party reserves the right to file with any court having jurisdiction an application for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, writ of attachment, writ of possession, temporary protective order and/or appointment of a receiver on the grounds that the arbitration award to which the applicant may be entitled may be rendered ineffectual in the absence of such relief, but otherwise the Parties hereby waive their respective right to seek other remedies in a court of law (except as provided in the last sentence of Section 21(a)). Each Party agrees that any such filing shall be made with any court having jurisdiction. In addition, each Party acknowledges that monetary damages would be an insufficient remedy to a Party for the other Party's breach of any obligation under Section 4 (Investment Opportunities; Right of First Offer) and Sections 8(b), (c) and (e) (Confidentiality, Proprietary Information) of this Agreement and that such a breach would cause irreparable harm to the applicable Party. Accordingly, if a Party breaches any such obligation, the other Party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from any court or other legally cognizable tribunal of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies prescribed by law or in equity. If a Party seeks such injunctive relief, such Party shall be obligated to prove only that the breaching Party violated one or more covenants of such Sections. Each Party waives the obligation of the applicable party to prove any other prerequisite to its entitlement to such injunctive relief. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(c)      Any arbitration hereunder may be consolidated by JAMS with the arbitration of any other dispute arising out of or relating to the same subject matter if the arbitrators determine that there are common issues of law or fact creating the possibility of conflicting rulings.
(d)      The arbitrators shall not have the power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement or to grant any remedy that is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or unavailable in a court of law.
(e)      The costs of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 21 shall be funded equally by the Parties when due, although the Parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be repaid all of its costs and fees, including its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, within fifteen (15) days after receiving the results of the arbitration. The arbitrators shall have the power both to determine the prevailing party and to determine the amount of attorneys' fees and expenses to be awarded to the prevailing party.
(f)      This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The General Partner shall not issue any additional REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities (other than REIT Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.6 or such shares, stock or securities pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) to all of its stockholders or all of its stockholders who hold a particular class of stock of the General Partner) unless (i) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner, Partnership Interests or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests thereof are substantially similar to those of the REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities issued by the General Partner and (ii) the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution of the net proceeds from the issuance of such additional REIT Shares of any Class (or combination of any Class), other shares of capital stock or New Securities, as the case may be, and from the exercise of the rights contained in such additional New Securities, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities for no tangible value or for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner Partnership Interests of the corresponding Class, so long as (x) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance of Partnership Interests is in the interests of the Partnership; and (y) the General Partner contributes all proceeds, if any, from such issuance and exercise to the Partnership. In connection with the General Partner's initial offering of REIT Shares, any other issuance of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership, any net proceeds raised in connection with such issuance; provided , that the General Partner may use a portion of the net proceeds from any offering to acquire OP Units or other assets (provided such other assets are contributed to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that if the net proceeds actually received by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter's discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance then, except to the extent such net proceeds are used to acquire OP Units, the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the net proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter's discount and other expenses paid by the General Partner (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4 )).
D .      Percentage Interest Adjustments in the Case of Capital Contributions for OP Units . Upon the acceptance of additional Capital Contributions in exchange for OP Units, the Percentage Interest in such OP Units shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of cash and the Agreed Value of the Property contributed as of the Adjustment Date and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership Interests of




such class or series (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the aggregate Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions contributed by all Partners and/or third parties to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in such class or series of Partnership Interests. The Percentage Interest of each other Partner holding Partnership Interests of such class or series not making a full pro rata Capital Contribution shall be adjusted to equal a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of such Limited Partner in respect of such class or series (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions, if any, made by such Partner to the Partnership in such class or series of Partnership Interests as of such Adjustment Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership Interests of such class or series (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date), plus (ii) the aggregate Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions contributed by all Partners and/or third parties to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in such class or series. Provided, however, solely for purposes of calculating a Partner's Percentage Interest pursuant to this Section 4.4.D , (i) in the case of cash Capital Contributions by the General Partner funded by an offering of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner and (ii) in the case of the contribution of properties by the General Partner which were acquired by the General Partner in exchange for REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner immediately prior to such contribution, the General Partner shall be issued a number of OP Units equal and corresponding to the number of such shares issued by the General Partner in exchange for such cash or Investments, the OP Units held by the other Partners shall not be adjusted, and the Partners' Percentage Interests shall be adjusted accordingly. The General Partner shall promptly give each Partner written notice of its Percentage Interest, as adjusted.
E .      Reinvestment of Special General Partner Distributions . The Special General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect, on an annual basis, to reinvest all, or any portion, of the distributions of Available Cash and Capital Proceeds it receives under Section 5.1 in the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of OP Units. If the Special General Partner elects to reinvest any portion of Available Cash and Capital Proceeds distributed to the Special General Partner under this Agreement, the Special General Partner shall be treated no differently than any Limited Partner making a Capital Contribution to the Partnership under Section 4.4 .
Section 4.5.      Other Contribution Provisions .
With the consent of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, one or more Limited Partners may enter into agreements with the Partnership, in the form of a guarantee or contribution agreement, which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership.
Section 4.6.      No Preemptive Rights .
Except to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) providing funds to the Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any OP Units or other Partnership Interests.
Section 4.7.      No Interest; No Return .




No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner's Capital Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership.
Section 4.8.      Profits Interest of Special General Partner .
To the extent that the Special General Partner receives a Partnership Interest with a disproportionate interest in Partnership Net Income or Net Loss, such Partnership Interest shall be treated as a "profits interest" received for services rendered, or to be rendered, within the meaning of IRS Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343.
Section 4.9.      Special Fees .
The Partners acknowledge and agree that the following Special Fees shall be borne by the Classes of OP Units as follows:
7.00% selling commission for each Class A OP Unit

3.00% dealer manager fee for each Class A OP Unit
2.75% dealer manager fee for each Class C OP Unit
1.00% annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee for each Class C OP Unit (other than Class C OP Units issued in connection with Class C REIT Shares purchased through the General Partner's distribution and reinvestment plan); provided, however, that such fees shall cease to accrue at the earlier of: (i) the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources payable in connection with the sale of REIT Shares in the General Partner's initial public offering equals to 10% of the gross proceeds of the General Partner's initial public offering (excluding through the General Partner's distribution and reinvestment plan); and (ii) the sixth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the General Partner's initial public offering (excluding through its distribution and reinvestment plan) terminates.

DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1.      Requirement and Characterization of Distributions .
The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute at least quarterly all, or such portion as the General Partner may in its discretion determine, Available Cash and Capital Proceeds generated by the Partnership to the Partners who are Partners on the applicable Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution, in the following order and priority:
A .      Available Cash . Available Cash shall be distributed ten percent (10%) to the Special General Partner and ninety percent (90%) to the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.




B .      Distribution of Capital Proceeds . Subject to Section 5.1.C , Section 5.1.D and Section 13.2 , distributions of Capital Proceeds shall be made as follows:
(1)    First, Capital Proceeds shall be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the General Partner until the General Partner has received distributions under this Section 5.1.B(1) equal to the General Partner Unpaid Priority Return;
(2)    Second, Capital Proceeds shall be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the General Partner until the General Partner Net Current Investment has been reduced to zero (0); and
(3)    Third, any remaining Capital Proceeds shall be distributed fifteen percent (15%) to the Special General Partner and eighty-five percent (85%) to the Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
C .      Distribution of Capital Proceeds -- Listing Event . As soon as possible following the determination of the Listed Market Value following a Listing Event, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a special distribution of Capital Proceeds to the Special General Partner in an amount equal to the Capital Proceeds distributable solely to the Special General Partner under Section 5.1.B if the Partnership sold all of its assets on the date of the Listing Event for its Listed Market Value and distributed the net proceeds from such sale to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1.B . To avoid duplicating distributions to the Special General Partner, the General Partner shall take into account distributions made to the Special General Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1.C in determining the appropriate amount of any subsequent distributions of Capital Proceeds to the Special General Partner under Section 5.1.B(3) and Section 5.1.D .
D .      Distribution of Capital Proceeds – Change of Control Event . As soon as possible following the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the General Partner, or its successor in interest, shall cause the Partnership, or its successor in interest, to make a special distribution of Capital Proceeds to the Special General Partner in an amount equal to the Capital Proceeds distributable solely to the Special General Partner under Section 5.1.B if the Partnership sold all of its assets for the Transaction Value immediately prior to the Change of Control Event and distributed the net proceeds from such sale to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1.B . To avoid duplicating distributions to the Special General Partner, the General Partner shall take into account distributions made to the Special General Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1.D in determining the appropriate amount of any subsequent distributions of Capital Proceeds to the Special General partner under Section 5.1.B(3) and Section 5.1.C .
E .      Distribution of Capital Proceeds – Termination Event . As soon as possible following the occurrence of a Termination Event, the General Partner, or its successor in interest, shall cause the Partnership, or its successor in interest, to make a special distribution of Capital Proceeds to the Special General Partner in an amount equal to the Capital Proceeds distributable solely to the Special General Partner under Section 5.1.B if the Partnership sold all of its assets for their fair value (less the amounts of all indebtedness secured by such assets and less any fees payable to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement) immediately prior to the Termination Event and distributed the net proceeds from such sale to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1.B . To avoid duplicating distributions




to the Special General Partner, the General Partner shall take into account distributions made to the Special General Partner pursuant to this Section 5.1.E in determining the appropriate amount of any subsequent distributions of Capital Proceeds to the Special General Partner under Section 5.1.B(3) , Section 5.1.C and Section 5.1D . The distribution to be made pursuant to this Section shall be in the form of a promissory note, bearing interest at a rate equal to the average prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the six completed calendar months prior to the Termination Event (the " Termination Note "). The Termination Note shall be payable in full upon the occurrence of a Listing Event and a Change of Control Event, provided that such Listing Event results in a Listed Market Value, or such change of Control Event results in a Transaction Value, equal to or greater than the sum of the General Partner Net Current Investment plus the General Partner Unpaid Priority Return at the time of such Listing Event or change of Control Event. In addition, after the General Partner Unpaid Priority Return has been paid and the General Partner Net Current Investment has been reduced to zero, all Capital Proceeds from sales of Partnership assets shall be applied first to pay amounts outstanding under the Termination Note. If the Termination Note has not been paid in full on a due date, and in any event within three years after its issuance, then the holder of the Termination Note (and any of its successors and assigns) may elect to convert the principal balance of the Termination Note and any accrued and unpaid interest into OP Units or REIT Shares at a price per OP Unit/REIT Share equal to: (i) the average closing price of the REIT Shares on the principal trading exchange on which they are listed for the 10 trading days prior to delivery of a conversion notice; or (ii) if the REIT Shares are not then listed, at the net asset value of a REIT Share most recently published by the General Partner and based on an Appraisal. Upon the issuance of a Termination Note, the Special General Partner shall no longer be entitled to distributions of Capital Proceeds or Available Cash hereunder, except in satisfaction of the Termination Note.
F . Sufficient Distributions to the General Partner for REIT Qualification . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5 to the contrary, the General Partner shall take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with its qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner, for so long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations ("REIT Requirements"), and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the General Partner, avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on the General Partner.
G.      Special Fees . Consistent with Section 4.9, if the Partnership directly or indirectly incurs Special Fees, (i) Available Cash or Capital Proceeds, as the case may be, available for distribution under this Section 5.1 shall be increased by the Special Fees to the extent that Available Cash or Capital Proceeds have been previously reduced by such fees; and (ii) the amounts otherwise distributable among the Classes of OP Units shall then be reduced to reflect their appropriate shares of the Special Fees.  For example, if the Partnership has Available Cash of $1,000 after taking into account a distribution and shareholder servicing fee of $200 that is required to be borne entirely by the Partners holding Class C OP Units, Available Cash shall be increased to $1,200 for purposes of this Section 5.1 and the amounts otherwise distributable to the Class C OP Units under this Section 5.1 shall be reduced by $200.
Section 5.2.      Distributions in Kind .




Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in-kind to the Partners of Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5 , 6 and 10 .
Section 5.3.      Distributions Upon Liquidation .
Notwithstanding Section 5.1 , proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.2 .
Section 5.4.      Distributions to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests .
In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner, the Special General Partner, or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.4.B , 4.4.C , or 4.4E , the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Article 5 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, an Additional Limited Partner shall be entitled to the distributions set forth in Section 5.1 (without regard to this Section 5.4 ) with respect to the period during which the closing of its contribution to the Partnership occurs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date of such closing through the end of the applicable period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such period.
Section 5.5.      Distribution Limitation .
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article 5 , the General Partner shall have the power, in its reasonable discretion, to adjust the distributions to the Special General Partner to the extent necessary to avoid violations of the "2%/25% Guidelines" as described in the Advisory Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6 :
(i)     Minimum Gain Chargeback . Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2 , or any other provision of this Article 6 , if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3(i) is intended to qualify as a "minimum gain chargeback" within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 6.3(i) .
(ii)     Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback . Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2 , or any other provision of this Article 6 (except Section 6.3(i) ), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).

(iii)      Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions .

(iv)      Qualified Income Offset . If any Partner unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required




by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(iv) were not in this Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3(iv) qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulations and this Section 6.3(iv) .
(v)      Gross Income Allocation . In the event any Partner has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership Year which is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) such Partner is obligated to restore to the Partnership, and (2) the amount such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided , that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(v) and Section 6.3(iv) were not in this Agreement.
(vi)      Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss . To the extent any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Partner, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3(vi) .
(vii)      Section 754 Adjustment . To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Partner in complete liquidation of his interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Partners to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
(viii)      Curative Allocation . The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3(i) , (ii) , (iii) , (iv) , (v) , (vi) , and (vii) (the " Regulatory Allocations ") are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 , the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of determining a Partner's proportional share of the "excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Partnership within the meaning of




Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Partner's interest in Partnership profits shall be such Partner's Percentage Interest.
(ix)      Special Allocation of Special Fees . Consistent with Section 4.9, if the Partnership directly or indirectly incurs Special Fees, such Special Fees shall be specially allocated among the Classes of OP Units to correspond with their appropriate shares of such fees and then proportionately allocated among the burdened Units within each burdened Class. For example, if the Partnership incurs a distribution and shareholder servicing fee of $200 that is required to be borne entirely by the Partners holding Class C OP Units, the $200 servicing fee shall be specially allocated to the burdened holders of Class C OP Units in proportion to their Class C OP Units. To the extent that an allocation of Special Fees under this Section 6.3(ix) would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for a Partner, such allocation instead shall be made proportionately to the other burdened Partners within the burdened Class who do not have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits.
Section 6.4.      Tax Allocations .
A .      In General . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4 , for income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, " Tax Items ") shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 .
B .      Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations . Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A , Tax Items with respect to Partnership property that is contributed to the Partnership by a Partner with a Gross Asset Value that differs from its adjusted tax basis in the hands of the Contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Partners for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take into account the variation between book Capital Accounts and tax capital accounts. The Partnership shall account for such variation under the "traditional method" under Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) with respect to Partnership property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner's initial offering. With respect to other properties contributed to the Partnership, the Partnership shall account for such variation under any reasonable method consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value (provided in Article 1), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) using any method approved under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner.

B .    Each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.3 or 11.2 ), the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation to the fullest extent permitted under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation. The execution, delivery or performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity.
C .    At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance on the Investments and (ii) liability insurance for the Indemnities hereunder.
D .    At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain working capital and other reserves in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.
E .    Each of the Limited Partners acknowledges that, in exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including the General Partner) of any action taken (or not taken) by the General Partner. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Partner under this Agreement as a result of any income tax liability incurred by a Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement. There may be circumstances in which the fiduciary duties that the General Partner owes to the Limited Partners conflicts with any duties that the officers and directors of the General Partner owe to its stockholders. For so long as the General Partner owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the General Partner's stockholders.
F .    Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership.
Section 7.2.      Certificate of Limited Partnership .




To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and to maintain the Partnership's qualification to do business as a foreign limited partnership in each other state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A(4) , the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware, any other state, or the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.
Section 7.3.      Restrictions on General Partner's Authority .
A .    The General Partner may not take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement without the written Consent of the Limited Partners and the Special General Partner, and may not (i) perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction or any other liability except as provided herein or under the Act; or (ii) enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, the ability of a Limited Partner to exercise its rights to a Redemption in full, except in each case with the written consent of such Limited Partner.

C .    The General Partner may not cause the Partnership to take any action which the General Partner would be prohibited from taking directly under the General Partner's bylaws as in effect from time to time.
D .    Notwithstanding Section 7.3.B , the General Partner shall have the exclusive power to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:
(1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;
(2) to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests pursuant to Sections 4.4.B, 5.4 and 6.2.C. or the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement (which may be effected through the replacement of Exhibit A with an amended Exhibit A);




(3) to set forth or amend the designations, rights, powers, duties and preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Article 4;
(4) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;
(5) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law;
(6) to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for the General Partner to maintain its status as a REIT, including changes which may be necessitated due to a change in applicable law (or an authoritative interpretation thereof) or a ruling of the IRS;
(7) to modify, as set forth in the definition of "Capital Account," the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed; and
(8) to amend or modify any provision of this Agreement to reflect a statutory or regulatory change regarding the federal income tax treatment of the "profits interest" of the Special General Partner or to ensure that the receipt of the Special General Partner's profits interest will not result in taxation to the Special General Partner.
The General Partner will provide notice to the Limited Partners when any action under this Section 7.3.D is taken.
E .    Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B and 7.3.D , this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any Partner adversely affected, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of such Partner adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner's interest in the Partnership into a general partner's interest (except as the result of the General Partner acquiring such interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5 or Section 13.2.A(4) , or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.4 , 5.4 , 6.2.C and Section 7.3.D(2) ), (iv) materially alter or modify the rights to a Redemption or the REIT Shares Amount as set forth in Section 8.6 , and related definitions hereof, or (v) amend this Section 7.3.E . Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner's authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 7.3 or in Section 11.2.A without the Consent specified in such section. This Section 7.3.E does not require unanimous consent of all Partners adversely affected unless the amendment is to be effective against all partners adversely affected.
Section 7.4.      Reimbursement of the General Partner .
A .    Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may




be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership.
B .    The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership's and the General Partner's organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner is hereby authorized to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management and other services rendered to the Partnership. Except to the extent provided in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses that the General Partner and its Affiliates incur relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, administrative expenses); provided , that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners acknowledge that all such expenses of the General Partner are deemed to be for the benefit of the Partnership. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any reimbursement made as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. In the event that certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable. All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner.
C .    If the General Partner shall elect to purchase from its stockholders REIT Shares for the purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future or for the purpose of retiring such REIT Shares, the purchase price paid by the General Partner for such REIT Shares and any other expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be advanced to the General Partner or reimbursed to the General Partner, subject to the condition that: (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by the General Partner, the General Partner shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds received by the General Partner for such REIT Shares (which sales proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested under any dividend reinvestment or similar program; provided , that a transfer of REIT Shares for OP Units pursuant to Section 8.6 would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and (ii) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by the General Partner within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, or the General Partner otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the General Partner, shall cause the Partnership to redeem a number of OP Units held by the General Partner equal to the number of such REIT Shares, as adjusted (x) pursuant to Section 7.5 (in the event the General Partner acquires material assets, other than on behalf of the Partnership) and (y) for stock dividends and distributions, stock splits and subdivisions, reverse stock splits and combinations, distributions of rights, warrants or options, and distributions of evidences of indebtedness or assets relating to assets not received by the General Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership (in which case such advancement or reimbursement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution in redemption of such number of OP Units held by the General Partner).




D .    As set forth in Section 4.4 , the General Partner shall be treated as having made a Capital Contribution in the amount of all expenses that it incurs relating to the General Partner's offering of REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities.
E .    If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners' Capital Accounts.
Section 7.5.      Outside Activities of the General Partner .
A .    Except in connection with a transaction authorized in Section 11.2 , without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a General Partner and the management of the business of the Partnership, its operation as a public reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, its operation as a REIT and such activities as are incidental to the same. Without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, participate in or otherwise acquire any interest in any real or personal property, except its General Partner Interest, its minority interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary Partnership's status as a partnership, and such bank accounts, similar instruments or other short term investments as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter. In the event the General Partner desires to contribute cash to any Subsidiary Partnership to acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, the General Partner may acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, and the General Partner may acquire such cash from the Partnership as a loan or in exchange for a reduction in the General Partner's OP Units, in an amount equal to the amount of such cash divided by the Fair Market Value of a REIT Share on the day such cash is received by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may acquire Investments or other assets in exchange for REIT Shares or cash, to the extent such Investments or other assets are immediately contributed by the General Partner to the Partnership, pursuant to the terms described in Section 4.4.D . Any Limited Partner Interests acquired by the General Partner, whether pursuant to exercise by a Limited Partner of its right of Redemption, or otherwise, shall be automatically converted into a General Partner Interest comprised of an identical number of OP Units with the same rights, priorities and preferences as the class or series so acquired. The General Partner may also own one hundred percent (100%) of the stock or interests of one or more Qualified REIT Subsidiaries or limited liability companies, respectively, provided that any such entity shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 7.5.A. If, at any time, the General Partner acquires material assets (other than Partnership Interests or other assets on behalf of the Partnership) the definition of " REIT Shares Amount " and the definition of "Deemed Value of Partnership Interests" shall be adjusted, as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to reflect the relative Fair Market Value of a share of capital stock of the General Partner relative to the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of the related Partnership Unit. The General Partner's General Partner Interest in the




Partnership, its minority interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) (held directly or indirectly through a Qualified REIT Subsidiary) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary Partnership's status as a partnership, and interests in such short-term liquid investments, bank accounts or similar instruments as the General Partner deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter are interests which the General Partner is permitted to acquire and hold for purposes of this Section 7.5.A .
B .    In the event the General Partner exercises its rights under the Charter to purchase REIT Shares, other common stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may be, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from it a number of OP Units equal to the number of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may be, so purchased on the same terms that the General Partner purchased such REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may be.
Section 7.6.      Contracts with Affiliates .
A .    The Partnership may lend or contribute to Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.
B .    Except as provided in Section 7.5.A , the Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems advisable.
C .    The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of the Partnership's Subsidiaries.
D .    Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are determined by the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable.
E .    The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, a right of first opportunity arrangement and other conflict avoidance agreements with various Affiliates of the Partnership and the General Partner, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.
Section 7.7.      Indemnification .




A .    To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless (1) Section 12.2.2 of the Charter of the General Partner prohibits the corporation from indemnifying the Indemnitee for a matter, in which case the Partnership shall likewise be prohibited from indemnifying the Indemnitee for the matter, or (2) it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith, fraud or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or any entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A . Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the General Partner and any Indemnitee, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7 , except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership.
B .    Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.7 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
C .    The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.
D .    The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against




any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership's activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
E.     For purposes of this Section 7.7 , the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of Section 7.7 ; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.
F .    In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.
G .    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
H .    The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership's liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
I .    If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners' Capital Accounts.
J .    Any indemnification hereunder is subject to, and limited by, the provisions of Section 17-108 of the Act and Section 12.2.2 of the Charter.
K .    In the event the Partnership is made a party to any litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of or in connection with any Partner's personal obligations or liabilities unrelated to Partnership business, such Partner shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership for all such loss and expense incurred, including legal fees, and the Partnership interest of such Partner may be charged therefor. The liability of a Partner under this Section 7.7.K shall not be limited to such Partner's Partnership Interest, but shall be enforceable against such Partner personally.




Section 7.8.      Liability of the General Partner .
A .    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the General Partner nor any of its officers, directors, agents or employees shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees, or their successors or assigns, for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith.
B .    The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the Partnership, the Limited Partners and the General Partner's stockholders collectively. The General Partner is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Limited Partners or the General Partner's stockholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees or to stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. If there is a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of the General Partner on one hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner or the Limited Partners; provided , however , that for so long as the General Partner, owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the stockholders. The General Partner shall not be liable under this Agreement to the Partnership or to any Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions; provided , that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5.
B.     If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Limited Partner's estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership.

C .    The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of his or her OP Units if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act by the Partnership or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Unit.
Section 11.4.      Substituted Limited Partners .




A .    No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in his or her place (including any transferee permitted by Section 11.3 ). The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner's failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action, whether at law or in equity, against the Partnership or any Partner.
B .    A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the General Partner an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission), each in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner) and the acknowledgment by such transferee that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such transferee as of the date of the transfer of the Partnership Interest to such transferee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations and warranties.
C .    Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of OP Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.
Section 11.5.      Assignees .
If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4 , such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Loss, gain and loss attributable to the OP Units assigned to such transferee, the rights to transfer the OP Units provided in this Article 11 , the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6 , but shall not be deemed to be a holder of OP Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent with respect to such OP Units on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such Consent remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of OP Units. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition to becoming an Assignee, any prospective Assignee must first execute and deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgment that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such prospective Assignee as of the date of the prospective assignment of the Partnership Interest




to such prospective Assignee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations or warranties.

B .    Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of such Limited Partner's OP Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner or pursuant to the exercise of its rights of Redemption of all of such Limited Partner's OP Units under Section 8.6 shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided that after such transfer, exchange or redemption such Limited Partner owns no Partnership Interest.

Except as otherwise agreed by the General Partner, all distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment, exchange or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter, in the case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, shall be made to the transferee Partner.

or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.2 ); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership such transfer could cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares of all Partnership Interests held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such transfer could, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a "party-in-interest" (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a "disqualified person" (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vii) if such transfer could, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (viii) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (ix) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such transfer (1) could be treated as effectuated through an "established securities market" or a "secondary market" (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (2) could cause the Partnership to become a "publicly traded partnership," as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code, (3) could be in violation of Section 3.4.E(5) , or (4) could cause the Partnership to fail one or more of the Safe Harbors (as defined below); (x) if such transfer subjects the Partnership to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; (xi) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, if the transferee or assignee of such Partnership Interest is unable to make the representations set forth in Section 3.4.C ; (xii) if such transfer is made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; and provided, that, as a condition to granting such consent the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any OP Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code; or (xiii) if in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership such transfer could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or, except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code.
F .    The General Partner shall monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership (including any acquisition of OP Units by the Partnership or the General Partner) to determine (i) if such interests could be treated as being traded on an "established securities market" or a "secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and (ii) whether such transfers of interests could result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for the "safe harbors" set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as "readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the " Safe Harbors "). The General Partner shall have the authority (but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent any trading of interests which could cause the Partnership to become a "publicly




traded partnership" within the meaning of Code Section 7704, or any recognition by the Partnership of such transfers, or to ensure that one or more of the Safe Harbors is met.

The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, in the same proportions and the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or
(2)    withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and priority set forth in Section 13.2.A as soon as practicable.
Section 13.5.      Deemed Contribution and Distribution .

Carey Financial, LLC

RE:
CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS 2 INCORPORATED
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2015, or the first year during which the Company begins material operations. The Company proposes to offer (a) up to $1,400,000,000 in shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share in the primary offering (the “Primary Offering”) in any combination of the following two classes of common stock: Class A and Class T common stock, which are referred to individually as “Class A Shares” and “Class T Shares,” and collectively as the “Shares,” at an initial price of $10.00 per share and $9.45 per share, respectively (subject in certain circumstances to discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers), and (b) up to $600,000,000 in Shares for a purchase price of $9.60 per share for issuance through the Company’s distribution reinvestment program (the “DRIP” and together with the Primary Offering, the “Offering”) at an initial price of $9.60 per Class A Share and $9.07 per Class T Share, all upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined in Section 1(a)). The Company has reserved the right to reallocate the Shares offered between the DRIP and the Primary Offering.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”), the Company hereby appoints Carey Financial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), to act as the exclusive dealer manager for the Offering, and the Dealer Manager desires to accept such engagement.
1.
Representations And Warranties Of The Company. The Company hereby represents, warrants and agrees during the term of this Agreement as follows:
(a)
Registration Statement and Prospectus . In connection with the Offering, the Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (File No. 333-196681) on Form S-11 for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulations”); and one or more amendments to such registration statement have been or may be so prepared and filed. The registration statement on Form S-11 and the prospectus contained therein, as finally amended at the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission (the “Effective Date”) are respectively hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus”, except that:

1


(i)
if the Company files a post-effective amendment to such registration statement, then the term “Registration Statement” shall, from and after the declaration of the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment by the Commission, refer to such registration statement as amended by such post-effective amendment, and the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the amended prospectus then on file with the Commission; and
(ii)
if the prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations shall differ from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, shall have become effective, then the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such prospectus filed pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c), as the case may be, from and after the date on which it shall have been filed. The term “preliminary Prospectus” as used herein shall mean a preliminary prospectus related to the Shares as contemplated by Rule 430 or Rule 430A of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations included at any time as part of the Registration Statement. As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement”, “preliminary Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein.
As used herein, the term “Effective Date” also shall refer to the effective date of each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, unless the context otherwise requires.
Further, if a separate prospectus is filed and becomes effective with respect solely to the DRIP (a “DRIP Prospectus”), the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such DRIP Prospectus from and after the declaration of effectiveness of such DRIP Prospectus.
(b)
Compliance With the Securities Act. During the term of this Agreement:
(i)
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto have complied, and will comply, in all material respects with the Securities Act, the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Rules and Regulations”);
(ii)
the Registration Statement does not, and any amendment thereto will not, in each case as of the applicable Effective Date, include any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Prospectus does not, and any amendment or supplement thereto will not, as of the applicable filing date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(b) will not extend to any statements contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that are based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus; and
(iii)
the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, at the time they are hereafter filed with the Commission, will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations, and, when read together with the other information in the Prospectus, at the

2


time the Registration Statement became effective and as of the applicable Effective Date of each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, did not and will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c)
Securities Matters. There has not been:
(i)
any request by the Commission for any further amendment to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information;
(ii)
any issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or, to the Company’s knowledge, threat of any proceeding for that purpose; or
(iii)
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or any initiation or, to the Company’s knowledge, threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations applicable to it and its activities, including, without limitation, with respect to the Offering and the sale of the Shares.
(d)

(e)
Authorization of Agreement. This Agreement is duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of the United States, any state or any political subdivision thereof which affect creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies or except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.
(f)
Absence of Conflict or Default. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and the fulfillment of the terms hereof, do not and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under:
(i)
the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ charter, bylaws, or other organizational documents, as the case may be;
(ii)
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, voting trust agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties is bound except, for purposes of this clause (ii) only, for such conflicts, breaches or defaults that do not

3


result in and could not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Company MAE (as defined below in this Section 1(f)); or
(iii)
any statute, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties.
No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or other governmental agency or body has been or is required for the performance of this Agreement or for the consummation by the Company of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (except as have been obtained under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or as may be required under state securities or applicable blue sky laws in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares or under the laws of states in which the Company may own real properties in connection with its qualification to transact business in such states or as may be required by subsequent events which may occur). Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents, as the case may be.
As used in this Agreement, “Company MAE” means any event, circumstance, occurrence, fact, condition, change or effect, individually or in the aggregate, that is, or could reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to (A) the condition, financial or otherwise, earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or (B) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Shares.
(g)
Actions or Proceedings. As of the initial Effective Date, there are no actions, suits or proceedings against, or investigations of, the Company or its subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, before any court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other tribunal:
(iv)
asserting the invalidity of this Agreement;
(v)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Shares or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(vi)
that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by the Company of its obligations under or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement or the Shares;
(vii)
that would reasonably be expected to result in a Company MAE, or
(viii)
seeking to affect adversely the federal income tax attributes of the Shares except as described in the Prospectus.
The Company promptly will give notice to the Dealer Manager of the occurrence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of the type referred to above arising or occurring on or after the initial Effective Date.
(h)
Escrow Agreement. The Company will enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Dealer Manager and UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

4


(i)
Sales Literature. Any supplemental sales literature or advertisement (including, without limitation any “broker-dealer use only” or institutional material), regardless of how labeled or described, used in addition to the Prospectus in connection with the Offering which previously has been, or hereafter is, furnished or approved by the Company (collectively, “Approved Sales Literature”), shall, to the extent required, be filed with and approved by the appropriate securities agencies and bodies, provided that the Dealer Manager will make all FINRA filings, to the extent required. Any and all Approved Sales Literature, when used in connection with the Prospectus, did not or will not at the time provided for use include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(j)
Authorization of Shares. The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold as contemplated by the Prospectus and upon payment therefor as provided in this Agreement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will conform in all material aspects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.
(k)
Taxes. Any taxes, fees and other governmental charges in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the execution, delivery and sale of the Shares have been or will be paid when due.
(l)
Investment Company. The Company is not, and neither the offer or sale of the Shares nor any of the activities of the Company will cause the Company to be, an “investment company” or under the control of an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(m)
Tax Returns. The Company has filed or will file all material federal, state and foreign income tax returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company on or before the due dates therefor (taking into account all extensions of time to file) and has paid or provided for the payment of all such material taxes, except those being contested in good faith, indicated by such tax returns and all assessments received by the Company to the extent that such taxes or assessments have become due.
(n)
REIT Qualifications. The Company will make a timely election to be subject to tax as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for its taxable year ended December 31, 2015, or the first year during which the Company begins material operations. The Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. The Company’s current and proposed method of operation as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.
(o)
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The accountants who have certified certain financial statements appearing in the Prospectus are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Rules and Regulations. Such accountants have not been engaged by the Company to perform any “prohibited activities” (as defined in Section 10A of the Exchange Act).
(p)
Preparation of the Financial Statements. The financial statements filed with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement and included in the Prospectus present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and at the dates indicated and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods specified. Such financial statements have

5


been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as may be expressly stated in the related notes thereto. No other financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be included in the Registration Statement or any applicable Prospectus.
(q)
Material Adverse Change. Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except as may otherwise be stated therein or contemplated thereby, there has not occurred a Company MAE, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business.
(r)
Government Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such certificates, authorities or permits issued by the appropriate state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, other than those the failure to possess or own would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company MAE. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit which, individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Company MAE.
(s)
Properties. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus and except as would not result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Company MAE:
(ix)
all properties and assets described in the Prospectus are owned with good and marketable title by the Company and its subsidiaries; and
(x)
all liens, charges, encumbrances, claims or restrictions on or affecting any of the properties and assets of any of the Company or its subsidiaries which are required to be disclosed in the Prospectus are disclosed therein.
(t)
Hazardous Materials. The Company does not have any knowledge of:
(xi)
the unlawful presence of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or waste materials (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) on any of the properties owned by it or its subsidiaries or subject to mortgage loans owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or
(xii)
any unlawful spills, releases, discharges or disposal of Hazardous Materials that have occurred or are presently occurring off such properties as a result of any construction on or operation and use of such properties, which presence or occurrence in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) would result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Company MAE.
In connection with the properties owned by the Company and its subsidiaries or subject to mortgage loans owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company has no knowledge of any material failure to comply with all applicable local, state and federal environmental laws, regulations, ordinances and administrative and judicial orders relating to the generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling, transport and disposal of any Hazardous Materials.
1.
Representations and Warranties of the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Company during the term of this Agreement that:

6


(a)
Organization Status. The Dealer Manager is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder.
(b)
Authorization of Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Dealer Manager, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, will constitute a valid and legally binding agreement of the Dealer Manager enforceable against the Dealer Manager in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability and except that rights to indemnity and contribution hereunder may be limited by applicable law and public policy.
(c)
Absence of Conflict or Default. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Dealer Manager will not conflict with or constitute a default under:
(i)
its organizational documents;
(ii)
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or lease to which the Dealer Manager is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Dealer Manager is subject; or
(iii)
any statute, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Dealer Manager or its assets, properties or operations, except in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) for such conflicts or defaults that would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties or results of operations of the Dealer Manager.
(d)
Broker-Dealer Registration; FINRA Membership. The Dealer Manager is, and during the term of this Agreement will be, duly registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Act, a member in good standing of FINRA, and a broker or dealer duly registered as such in those states where the Dealer Manager is required to be registered in order to carry out the Offering as contemplated by this Agreement. Moreover, the Dealer Manager’s employees and representatives have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Agreement. There is no provision in the Dealer Manager’s FINRA membership agreement that would restrict the ability of the Dealer Manager to carry out the Offering as contemplated by this Agreement.
2.
Offering and Sale of the Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and exclusive distributor to solicit and to retain the Selected Dealers (as defined in Section 3(a)) to solicit subscriptions for the Shares at the subscription price to be paid in cash. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and exclusive distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell or cause to be sold the Shares in such quantities and to such persons in accordance with such terms as are set forth in this Agreement, the Prospectus and the Registration Statement.
The Dealer Manager shall do so during the period commencing on the initial Effective Date and ending on the earliest to occur of the following: (1) the later of (x) two years after the initial Effective Date of the Registration Statement and (y) at the Company’s election, the date on which the Company is permitted to extend the Offering in accordance with the rules of the Commission; (2) the acceptance by the Company of

7


subscriptions for the amount offered in the Primary Offering, which for this section includes any DRIP shares reallocated to the Primary Offering; (3) the termination of the Offering by the Company, which the Company shall have the right to terminate in its sole and absolute discretion at any time; (4) the termination of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; and (5) the liquidation or dissolution of the Company (such period being the “Offering Period”).
The number of Shares, if any, to be reserved for sale by each Selected Dealer may be determined by mutual agreement, from time to time, by the Dealer Manager and the Company. In the absence of such determination, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), accept Order Forms based upon a first-come, first accepted reservation or other similar method. Under no circumstances will the Dealer Manager be obligated to underwrite or purchase any Shares for its own account and, in soliciting purchases of Shares, the Dealer Manager shall act solely as the Company’s agent and not as an underwriter or principal.
(a)
Selected Dealers. The Shares offered and sold through the Dealer Manager under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by the Dealer Manager and other securities dealers the Dealer Manager may retain (collectively the “Selected Dealers”); provided, however, that:
(i)
the Dealer Manager reasonably believes that all Selected Dealers are registered with the Commission, members of FINRA and are duly licensed or registered by the regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which they will offer and sell Shares; and
(ii)
all such engagements are evidenced by written agreements, the terms and conditions of which substantially conform to the Selected Dealer Agreement substantially in Exhibit A hereto (the “Selected Dealer Agreement”).
(b)
Subscription Documents. Each person desiring to purchase Shares through the Dealer Manager, or any other Selected Dealer, will be required to complete and execute the subscription documents described in the Prospectus.
Until the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares has been sold, payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated.” During such time, a Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Order Form, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Order Form, to UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) at the address provided in the Order Form.
When a Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Order Form and check were initially received by the Selected Dealer from the subscriber, the Selected Dealer shall transmit the Order Form and check to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and Order Form. When, pursuant to the Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, the Selected Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Selected Dealer shall transmit the check and Order Form to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following the Selected Dealer’s receipt of the Order Form and check. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Order Form and check, forward both the Order Form and check to the Escrow Agent. If any Order Form solicited by the Selected Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the Order Form and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within 10 business days from the date of rejection.

8


Once the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares has been sold, subject to any continuing escrow obligations imposed by certain states as described in the Prospectus, payments for Shares shall be made payable to “Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated.” At such time, the Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Order Form, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Order Form, to Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, c/o W.P. Carey/DST Systems, Inc., at the address provided in the Order Form.
If the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares has not been obtained within six months from the Effective Date, which the Company may elect to extend to a date no later than one year from the Effective Date (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly following the Closing Date, refund to each investor by check funds deposited in the escrow account or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to the Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each investor at the address provided in the list of investors.
(c)
Completed Sale. A sale of a Share shall be deemed by the Company to be completed for purposes of Section 3(d) if and only if:
(i)
the Company or an agent of the Company has received a properly completed and executed Order Form, together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Share, from an investor who satisfies the applicable suitability standards and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement as determined by the Selected Dealer or the Dealer Manager, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;
(ii)
the Company has accepted such subscription; and
(iii)
such investor has been admitted as a shareholder of the Company.
In addition, no sale of Shares shall be completed until at least five (5) business days after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever or no reason, and no commission or dealer manager fee will be paid to the Dealer Manager with respect to that portion of any subscription which is rejected.
(d)
Dealer-Manager Compensation.
(iv)
Subject to the volume discounts and other special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “The Offering/Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus or this Section 3(d), the Company agrees to pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of seven percent (7.0%) of the selling price of each Class A Share for which a sale is completed from the Class A Shares offered in the Primary Offering and selling commissions in the amount of two percent (2.0%) of the selling price of each Class T Share for which a sale is completed from the Class T Shares offered in the Primary Offering. The Company will not pay selling commissions for sales of Class A Shares or Class T Shares pursuant to the DRIP. The Company will pay reduced selling commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of Class A Shares, including the reduction or elimination of selling commissions in accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager will re-allow all the selling

9


commissions, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Selected Dealer who sold the Shares.
An annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee will be paid to the Dealer Manager in connection with purchases of the Class T Shares. The annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee of 1% of the purchase price per share (or, once reported, the amount of the estimated net asset value per share) will accrue daily as provided in the “The Offering/Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager may reallow the distribution and shareholder servicing fee to the Selected Dealer who initially sold the Class T Shares giving rise to such distribution and shareholder servicing fees to the extent the Selected Dealer Agreement with such Selected Dealer provides for such a reallowance. Notwithstanding, if the Dealer Manager is notified that the Selected Dealer who sold such Class T Shares is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to such Class T Shares, then such Selected Dealer’s entitlement to the distribution and shareholder servicing fee related to such Class T Shares shall cease, and such Selected Dealer shall not receive the distribution and shareholder servicing fee for any portion of the quarter in which such Selected Dealer is not the broker dealer of record on the last day of the quarter. Thereafter, such distribution and shareholder servicing fee may be reallowed by the Dealer Manager to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the Class T Shares, if any, if such broker-dealer of record has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager that provides for such reallowance. In this regard, all determinations will be made by the Dealer Manager in good faith in its sole discretion.

The Company will cease paying the distribution and shareholder servicing fee with respect to the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering upon the earlier of (i) the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the distribution and shareholder servicing fee, any organization and offering fee paid for underwriting and underwriting compensation paid by the sponsor and its affiliates, equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering (i.e., the gross proceeds from the offering of Class A and Class T Shares excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan), calculated as of the same date that the Company calculates the aggregate distribution and shareholder servicing fee; and (ii) the sixth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Primary Offering (excluding the DRIP) terminates.

A distribution and shareholder servicing fee will not be paid on Class A Shares or Class T Shares issued under the DRIP.
(v)
Subject to the special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “The Offering/Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus or this Section 3(d), as compensation for acting as the dealer manager, the Company will pay the Dealer Manager, a dealer manager fee in the amount of three percent (3.0%) of the selling price of each Class A Share and two and three-fourths percent (2.75%) of the selling price of each Class T Share for which a sale is completed from the Shares offered in the Primary Offering (the “Dealer Manager Fee”). No Dealer Manager Fee will be paid in connection with Shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

10


The Dealer Manager may retain or re-allow a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee, subject to federal and state securities laws, to the Selected Dealer who sold the Shares, as described more fully in the Selected Dealer Agreement.
(vi)
All selling commissions and Dealer Manager fees payable to the Dealer Manager will be paid at least within ten (10) business days after the investor subscribing for the Share is admitted as a shareholder of the Company, in an amount equal to the sales commissions payable with respect to such Shares. The Dealer Manager acknowledges that no commissions, payments or amount will be paid to the Dealer Manager unless and until the gross proceeds of the Shares sold are disbursed to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
(vii)
In no event shall the total aggregate underwriting compensation payable to the Dealer Manager and any Selected Dealers participating in the Offering, including, but not limited to, selling commissions, the Dealer Manager Fee and the annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee exceed ten percent (10.0%) of gross offering proceeds from the Primary Offering in the aggregate.
(viii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company pays any selling commission to the Dealer Manager for sale by a Selected Dealer of one or more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such subscription, then the Company shall decrease the next payment of selling commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Dealer Manager by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate established in this Section 3(d), multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. If no payment of selling commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Manager after such withdrawal occurs, then the Dealer Manager shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days following receipt of notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.
(e)
Reasonable Bona Fide Due Diligence Expenses. In addition to any payments to the Dealer Manager pursuant to Section 3(d), the Company shall reimburse the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Selected Dealer to the extent permitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of FINRA, provided, however, that no due diligence expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 3(e) which would cause the aggregate of all of the Company’s expenses described in Section 3(f) and compensation paid to the Dealer Manager and any Selected Dealer pursuant to Section 3(d) to exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares.

In addition, the Dealer Manager shall, in accordance with applicable law or as prescribed by any state securities administrator, provide, or require in the Selected Dealer Agreement that the Selected Dealer shall provide, to any prospective investor copies of any prescribed document which is part of the Registration Statement and any supplements thereto during the course of the Offering and prior to the sale. The Company may provide the Dealer Manager with certain Approved Sales Literature to be used by the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealers in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares. The Dealer Manager agrees not to deliver the Approved Sales Literature to any person prior to the initial Effective Date. If the Dealer

15

In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager will comply, and in its agreements with the Selected Dealers, the Dealer Manager will require that the Selected Dealers comply, with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation the FINRA Rules and the provisions of Article III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc., as revised and amended on May 7, 2007 and as may be further revised and amended (the “NASAA Guidelines”).
The Dealer Manager agrees that in recommending the purchase of the Shares in the Primary Offering to an investor, the Dealer Manager and each person associated with the Dealer Manager that make such recommendation shall have, and each Selected Dealer in its Selected Dealer Agreement shall agree with respect to investors to which it makes a recommendation shall agree that it shall have, reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor concerning the investor’s investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known by the Dealer Manager, the person associated with the Dealer Manager or the Selected Dealer that:

In making the determinations as to financial qualifications and as to suitability required by the NASAA Guidelines, the Dealer Manager and Selected Dealers may rely on (A) representations from investment advisers who are not affiliated with a Selected Dealer, and banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries, and (B) information it has obtained from a prospective investor, including such information as the investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the person or any other information known by the Dealer Manager (or Selected Dealer, as applicable), after due inquiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager shall not, and each Selected Dealer shall agree not to, execute any transaction in the Company in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the customer.

(i)
Customer Information. The Dealer Manager will use its best efforts to provide the Company with any and all subscriber information that the Company requests in order for the Company to satisfy its obligations under the AML/OFAC Laws and comply with the requirements under Section 5(k) above.

By virtue of entering into the Selected Dealer Agreement, each Selected Dealer severally will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, each of their respective Indemnified Parties, and each person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Dealer Manager, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties, or any person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as more fully described in the Selected Dealer Agreement.
(e)
Action Against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel.
Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited

20


funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of, and unconditional release of all liabilities from, the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(f)
Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses. An indemnifying party under Section 7 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:
(i)
In the case of the Company indemnifying the Dealer Manager, the advancement of funds to the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought shall be permissible (in accordance with Section II.G. of the NASAA Guidelines) only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (B) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a shareholder of the Company or the legal action is initiated by a shareholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (C) the Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.
(ii)
In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 7(f)(i) above, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one Indemnified Party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one Indemnified Party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm (in addition to local counsel) that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and if a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an Indemnified Party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
7.
Contribution.
(a)
If Indemnification is Unavailable. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, as incurred:

21


(iv)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, from the proceeds received in Primary Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Selected Dealer Agreement; or
(v)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
(b)
Relative Benefits. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, in connection with the proceeds received in the Primary Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Selected Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the Primary Offering pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Selected Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses), received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and dealer manager fees received by the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares sold in the Primary Offering as set forth on such cover.
(c)
Relative Fault. The relative fault of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company, by the Dealer Manager or by the Selected Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(d)
Pro Rata is Unreasonable. The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Selected Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(e)
Limits. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer shall not be required to contribute any amount by which the total price at which the Shares sold in the Primary Offering to the public by them exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager and the Selected Dealer have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(f)
Fraudulent Misrepresentation. No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

22

EXHIBIT 10.5
ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) made and entered into as of this 19 th day of February , 2015 by and among Carey Financial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Dealer Manager ”), Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “ Company ”), and UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “ Escrow Agent ”).

RECITALS
WHEREAS , the Company proposes to offer and sell up to $1.4 billion of its shares of common stock (the “ Shares ”) on a best efforts basis (excluding the shares of its common stock to be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment and stock purchase plan), at an initial purchase price of $10.00 per Class A Share (the “ Offering ”) to investors pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “ Offering Document ”).

WHEREAS , the Dealer Manager has been engaged by the Company to offer and sell the Shares on a best efforts basis through a network of participating broker-dealers (the “ Dealers ”).
WHEREAS , the Company has agreed that the subscription price paid by subscribers for shares will be refunded promptly to such subscribers if at least $2.0 million (the “ Minimum Offering ”) has not been raised within six months from the date the Offering Document is first declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC "), or if the Company elects to extend the date to a period no longer than one year from the date the Offering Document is first declared effective by the SEC (the “ Closing Date ”).
WHEREAS , the Dealer Manager and the Company desire to establish an escrow account (the “ Escrow Account ”), as further described herein in which funds received from subscribers will, except as otherwise specified herein, be deposited into an interest-bearing account entitled “Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated” and the Company desires that UMB Bank, N.A. act as escrow agent to the Escrow Account and Escrow Agent is willing to act in such capacity.
WHEREAS, deposits received from residents of the State of Pennsylvania (the “ Pennsylvania Subscribers ”) will remain in the Escrow Account until the conditions of Section 3 has been met.
WHEREAS, deposits received from residents of the State of Washington (the “ Washington Subscribers ”) will remain in the Escrow Account until the conditions of Section 4 has been met.

WHEREAS , the Escrow Agent has engaged DST Systems, Inc. (the “ Transfer Agent ”) to receive, examine for “good order” and facilitate subscriptions into the Escrow Account as further described herein and to act as record keeper, maintaining on behalf of the Escrow Agent the ownership records for the Escrow Account. In so acting the Transfer Agent shall act solely in the capacity of agent for the Escrow Agent and not in any capacity on behalf of the Company or the Dealer Manager, nor shall they have any interest other than that provided in this Agreement in assets in Transfer Agent’s possession as the agent of the Escrow Agent.
WHEREAS , in order to subscribe for Shares during the Escrow Period (as defined below), a subscriber must deliver an executed order form, a form of which is included as Annex B to the Offering Document (the "Subscription Agreement") with the full amount of its subscription: (i) by check made payable to the order of UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, in U.S. dollars or (ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds or Automated Clearing House (ACH) in U.S. dollars .
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the Dealer Manager, the Company and Escrow Agent agree to the terms of this Agreement as follows:
1. Establishment of Escrow Account; Escrow Period . On or prior to the commencement of the offering of Shares pursuant to the Offering Document, the Company shall establish the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated.” This Agreement shall be effective on the date on which the Offering Document becomes effective. Except as otherwise set forth herein for the Pennsylvania Subscribers and Washington Subscribers, the escrow period shall commence upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and shall continue until the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Escrow Agent receives confirmation from the Company and the Dealer Manager that the Company has raised the Minimum Offering, (ii) the Closing Date, or (iii) the termination of the Offering by the Company prior to the receipt of the Minimum Offering (the “ Escrow Period ”).
2. Operation of the Escrow .
(a) Deposits in the Escrow Account . During the Escrow Period, persons subscribing to purchase Shares will be instructed by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers to make checks for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated”. When a Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and check were initially received by a Dealer from the subscriber, the Dealer shall transmit the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and Subscription Agreement. When, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, the Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), the Dealer shall transmit the check and Subscription Agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following the Dealer’s receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Subscription

``



Agreement and check, forward both the Subscription Agreement and check to the Escrow Agent. If any Subscription Agreement solicited by the Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the Subscription Agreement and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within 10 business days from the date of rejection. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability or responsibility regarding a Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures. Completed subscription agreements and checks in payment for the purchase price shall be remitted to the P.O. Box designated for the receipt of such agreements and funds, and wires, or Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments shall be transmitted directly to the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall cause the Transfer Agent to promptly deliver all monies received in good order from subscribers (or from the Dealer Manager or Dealers transmitting moneys and subscriptions from subscribers) for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account (the " Escrowed Funds "), such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If any of the instruments of payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to receipt of the Break Escrow Affidavit (as described below), the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Transfer Agent and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account in the amount of such returned payment and the Escrow Agent shall cause the Transfer Agent to delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Transfer Agent. The Escrow Agent shall cause the Transfer Agent to maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the following information: (i) the subscriber’s name and address, (ii) the subscriber’s social security number, (iii) the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iv) the amount paid by such subscriber for such Shares. During the Escrow Period neither the Company nor the Dealer Manager will be entitled to any principal funds received into the Escrow Account.
(b) Distribution of the Funds in the Escrow Account to Subscribers other than Pennsylvania Subscribers and Washington Subscribers . If at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, the Minimum Offering has been raised, then upon the happening of such event, the funds in the Escrow Account shall remain in the Escrow Account until the Escrow Agent receives written direction provided by the Company and the Dealer Manager instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver such funds as the Company shall direct (other than any funds received from Pennsylvania Subscribers and Washington Subscribers which cannot be released until the conditions of Sections 3 and 4, respectively, have been met) (“ Initial Closing ”). An affidavit or certification from an officer of the Company and an officer of the Dealer Manager to the Escrow Agent and Transfer Agent stating that at least the Minimum Offering has been timely raised, shall constitute sufficient evidence for the purpose of this Agreement that such event has occurred (the “ Break Escrow Affidavit ”). The Affidavit shall indicate (i) the date on which the Minimum Offering was raised and (ii) the actual total number of Shares sold as of such date. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall release funds and any interest or other income earned, based on the conditions of Section 5, thereon from the Escrow Account as directed by the Company pursuant to written instruction that the

``



Company shall provide to the Escrow Agent from time to time. Accrued and unpaid interest on such Escrowed Funds shall be paid pursuant to Section 5 below.
(c) If the Escrow Agent has not received a Break Escrow Affidavit on or prior to the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall cause the Transfer Agent to promptly provide the Escrow Agent with the information needed to return the funds in the Escrow Account, together with any remaining interest thereon, to each respective subscriber, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly create and dispatch checks and wires drawn on the Escrow Account to return the full amount of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, together with their pro rata share of any remaining interest thereon, to the respective subscribers, and the Escrow Agent shall notify the Company and the Dealer Manager of its distribution of the funds. For the purposes of this Agreement “remaining interest” shall mean any interest that remains in the Escrow Account after deducting the full amount of the escrow fees and expenses which have been or are due under this Agreement or have been paid hereunder. Any amounts previously paid hereunder will be reimbursed by the Escrow Agent to such party after applying the interest to any escrow fees and expenses that are or will be due under this Agreement as of the Closing Date. The subscription payments returned to each subscriber shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company or any of its creditors.
(d) After the Initial Closing, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of instructions signed by the Dealer Manager and the Company, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Company the Escrowed Funds (other than any funds received from Pennsylvania Subscribers and Washington Subscribers which cannot be released until the conditions of Sections 3 and 4, respectively, have been met) in accordance with such instructions. The Company shall give the Escrow Agent one business day oral notification of the contents of such instructions. Accrued and unpaid interest on such Escrowed Funds shall be paid pursuant to Section 5 below.
3. Distribution of the Funds from Pennsylvania Subscribers .
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disbursements of funds contributed by Pennsylvania Subscribers may only be distributed in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3. Irrespective of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Escrow Agent will continue to place deposits from the Pennsylvania Subscribers into the Escrow Account, until such time as the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscriptions (including amounts previously disbursed as directed by the Company and the amounts then held in the Escrow Account) equal or exceed $70,000,000, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, at the Company’s request, any funds from the Pennsylvania Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent for accepted subscriptions, but not those funds of a subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request.
(b) If the Company has not received total subscriptions of at least $70,000,000 within 120 days of the date the Company first receives a subscription from a Pennsylvania Subscriber (the “Initial Escrow Period”), the Company shall notify each Pennsylvania Subscriber of the right of Pennsylvania Subscribers to have their investment returned to them. If, pursuant to such notice, a Pennsylvania Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds within ten (10) days after receipt of the notification (the “Request Period”), the Escrow


 
4
``



Agent shall promptly refund, including the prorata share of any interest earned thereon, directly to each Pennsylvania Subscriber the funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of the Pennsylvania Subscriber.
(c) The funds of Pennsylvania Subscribers who do not request the return of their funds within the Request Period shall remain in the Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (each a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and Escrow Agent shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth in Section 3(b) above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period, provided that any refunds made to a Pennsylvania Subscriber after a Successive Escrow Period shall include a pro rata share of any interest earned thereon after the Initial Escrow Period, until the occurrence of the earliest of (i) the termination of the Offering, (ii) the receipt and acceptance by the Company of total subscriptions that equal or exceed $70,000,000 and the disbursement of the Escrow Account on the terms specified in this Section 3, or (iii) all funds held in the Escrow Account that were contributed by Pennsylvania Subscribers having been returned to the Pennsylvania Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof.
If, upon termination of the Offering, the Company has not received and accepted total subscriptions that equal or exceed $70,000,000, all funds in the Escrow Account that were contributed by Pennsylvania Subscribers will be promptly returned in full to such Pennsylvania Subscribers, together with their pro rata share of any interest earned thereon pursuant to instructions made by the Company, upon which the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely.
4. Distribution of the Funds from Washington Subscribers .
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disbursements of funds contributed by Washington Subscribers may only be distributed in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4. Irrespective of any disbursement of funds from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Escrow Agent will continue to place deposits from the Washington Subscribers into the Escrow Account, until such time as the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscriptions (including amounts previously disbursed as directed by the Company and the amounts then held in the Escrow Account) equal or exceed $10,000,000, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, at the Company’s request, any funds from the Washington Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent for accepted subscriptions, but not those funds of a subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request.
If, upon termination of the Offering, the Company has not received and accepted total subscriptions that equal or exceed $10,000,000, all funds in the Escrow Account that were contributed by Washington Subscribers will be promptly returned in full to such Washington Subscribers, together with their pro rata share of any interest earned thereon pursuant to instructions made by the Company, upon which the Escrow Agent may conclusively rely.

Escrow interest earned, but not payable to subscribers pursuant to this Section, shall be paid to the Company, as instructed by the Company in writing.
6. Funds in the Escrow Account . Upon receipt of funds from subscribers, the Escrow Agent shall hold such funds in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS 2 INCORPORATED
2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, a Maryland corporation, wishes to further align the interests of the Company's stockholders with those of its non-employee directors and certain employees (if any) and officers of the Company and others expected to provide significant services to the Company, whether directly or through Subsidiaries, including the personnel, employees and officers of the Subadvisor. The objectives of the Plan include to encourage a proprietary interest of Eligible Persons in the Company, to encourage certain key personnel to remain in the service of the Company and the Subadvisor and their respective Affiliates, to attract new personnel with outstanding qualifications, and to afford additional incentive to personnel to increase their efforts in providing services to the Company and the Subadvisor and their respective Affiliates. In furtherance thereof, the Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan is designed to provide equity-based incentives to certain Eligible Persons. Awards under the Plan may be made to selected Eligible Persons in the form of Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights and/or other equity-based awards.

3.
ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN .
(a)      The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator, upon and after such time as it is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall consist of at least two individuals each of whom shall be a "nonemployee director" as defined in Rule 16b-3 as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Rule 16b-3") under the Exchange Act, and shall, at such times as the Company is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code (to the extent relief from the limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code is sought with respect to Awards), qualify as "outside directors" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code; provided that no action taken by the Plan Administrator (including, without limitation, grants) shall be invalidated because any or all of the members of the Plan Administrator fails to satisfy the foregoing requirements of this sentence. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting of the Plan Administrator at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by a majority of the Plan Administrator, shall be the acts of the Plan Administrator for purposes of the Plan. If and to the extent applicable, no member of the Plan Administrator may act as to matters under the Plan specifically relating to such member. Notwithstanding the other foregoing provisions of this Section 3(a), any Award under the Plan to a person who is a member of the Plan Administrator shall be made and administered by the Board. If no Plan Administrator is designated by the Board to act for these purposes, the Board shall have the rights and responsibilities of the Plan Administrator hereunder and under the Award Agreements.
(b)      Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the Award Agreements (i) authorize the granting of Awards to Eligible Persons (or to an entity for the benefit of Eligible Persons) and (ii) determine the eligibility of an Eligible Person to receive an Award, as well as determine the number of Shares to be covered under any Award Agreement, considering the position and responsibilities of the Eligible Person, the nature and value to the Company of the Eligible Person's present and potential contribution to the success of the Company, whether directly or through Subsidiaries, the other compensation and distributions received by the Subadvisor and its affiliates directly or indirectly from the Company and its Subsidiaries and such other factors as the Plan Administrator may deem relevant. In granting Awards under the Plan, the Plan Administrator may impose conditions on the transfer of Awards received under the Plan, and may impose other restrictions and requirements as it may deem appropriate.

 
5
 





        


(c)      The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent herewith as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. In the event that any Award Agreement or other agreement hereunder provides (without regard to this sentence) for the obligation of the Company or any Affiliate thereof to purchase or repurchase Shares from a Grantee or any other person, then, notwithstanding the provisions of the Award Agreement or such other agreement, such obligation shall not apply to the extent that the purchase or repurchase would not be permitted under Maryland law. The Grantee shall take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Plan Administrator may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Grantee pursuant to the express provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement.
4.
SHARES AND UNITS SUBJECT TO THE PLAN .
(a)      Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 11 of the Plan, the total number of Shares subject to Awards granted under the Plan, in the aggregate may not exceed 2.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock outstanding from time to time, on a combined and fully diluted basis, up to a maximum amount of 2,000,000. Subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted under the Plan in any one year to any Eligible Person, shall not exceed 2,000,000. Shares distributed under the Plan may be treasury Shares or authorized but unissued Shares. Any Shares that have been reserved for distribution in payment for Awards but are later forfeited or for any other reason are not payable under the Plan may again be made the subject of Awards under the Plan.
(b)      Shares subject to Dividend Equivalent Rights, other than Dividend Equivalent Rights based directly on the dividends payable on a number of Shares corresponding to the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded, shall be subject to the limitation of Section 4(a). Notwithstanding Section 4(a), except in the case of Awards intended to qualify for relief from the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, there shall be no limit on the number of Awards, to the extent they are paid out in cash, that may be granted under the Plan. If any Awards are paid out in cash, then, notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 4(a) above (but subject to the second sentence thereof), the underlying Shares may again be made the subject of Awards under the Plan.
(c)      The certificates for Shares issued hereunder may include any legend which the Plan Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer hereunder or under the Award Agreement, or as the Plan Administrator may otherwise deem appropriate.
5.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS .
5.1      Grant of Restricted Stock Units .
(a)      Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall, in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement: (i) authorize the granting of Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons; (ii) provide a specified purchase price for the Restricted Stock Units (whether or not the payment of a purchase price is required by any state law applicable to the Company); (iii) determine the period of forfeiture and related restrictions, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock Units; and (iv) determine or impose other conditions, including any applicable Performance Goals, to the grant of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan as it may deem appropriate.

 
6
 





        


5.2      Term .
The Plan Administrator may provide in an Award Agreement that any particular Restricted Stock Unit shall expire at the end of a specified term.
5.3      Vesting .
(a)      In connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units, whether or not Performance Goals (as provided for under Section 7 of the Plan) apply thereto, the Plan Administrator may determine that Restricted Stock Units are vested immediately upon grant or may establish one or more vesting periods with respect to the Restricted Stock Units granted, the length of which shall be determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the applicable Award Agreement and the other provisions of the Plan, restrictions on Restricted Stock Units shall lapse if the Grantee satisfies all applicable employment or other service requirements through the end of the applicable vesting period.
(b)      Restricted Stock Units shall vest as provided in the applicable Award Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, upon the Grantee's Termination of Service, all unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited.
5.4      Settlement of Restricted Stock Units .
(a)      Each vested and outstanding Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled by the transfer to the Grantee of one Share; provided that the Plan Administrator at the time of grant (or, in the appropriate case, as determined by the Plan Administrator, thereafter) may provide that, after consideration of possible accounting issues, a Restricted Stock Unit may be settled (i) in cash at the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Value, (ii) in cash or by transfer of Shares as elected by the Grantee in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator or (iii) in cash or by transfer of Shares as elected by the Company.
(b)      Payment (whether of cash or Shares) in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in a single sum or in periodic payments by the Company, as set forth in the Award; provided that, with respect to Restricted Stock Units of a Grantee which have a common Settlement Date, the Plan Administrator may permit the Grantee to elect in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator (taking into account, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate) to receive installment payments over a period not to exceed 10 years, rather than a single-sum payment.
(c)      Regarding the time at which payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units will be made or commence:
(i)      Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the "Settlement Date" with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit is the first day of the month to follow the date on which the Restricted Stock Unit vests; provided, however, that a Grantee may elect at or prior to grant, if permitted by and in accordance with procedures to be established by the Plan Administrator, that such Settlement Date will be deferred as elected by the Grantee to the first day of the month to follow the Grantee's Termination of Service, or such other time as may be permitted by the Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, all initial elections to defer the Settlement Date shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, elections under this Section 5.4(c)(i) must, except as may otherwise be permitted under the rules applicable under Section 409A of the Code, (A) be effective at least one year after they are made, or, in the case of payments to commence at a specific time, be made at least one year before the first scheduled

 
7
 





        


payment and (B) defer the commencement of distributions (and each affected distribution) for at least five years.
(ii)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Settlement Date, if not earlier pursuant to this Section 5.4(c), is the date of the Grantee's death.
(d)      Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5, taking into account, without limitation, the application of Section 409A of the Code, as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate, in the event of a Change in Control, the Settlement Date shall be the date of such Change in Control and all amounts due with respect to Restricted Stock Units to a Grantee hereunder shall be paid as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) after such Change in Control, unless such Grantee elects otherwise in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
(e)      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Grantee may receive any amounts to be paid in installments as provided in Section 5.4(b) or deferred by the Grantee as provided in Section 5.4(c) in the event of an "Unforeseeable Emergency." For these purposes, an "Unforeseeable Emergency," as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, is a severe financial hardship to the Grantee resulting from (1) a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Grantee or "dependent," as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code, of the Grantee, (2) loss of the Grantee's property due to casualty, or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Grantee. The circumstances that will constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency will depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, payment may not be made to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved:
(i)      through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise,
(ii)      by liquidation of the Grantee's assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or
(iii)      by future cessation of the making of additional deferrals under Section 5.4 (b) and (c).
Without limitation, the need to send a Grantee's child to college or the desire to purchase a home shall not constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions of amounts because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be permitted to the extent reasonably needed to satisfy the emergency need.
5.5      Other Restricted Stock Unit Provisions .
(a)      Except as permitted by the Plan Administrator, rights to payments with respect to Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process, either voluntary or involuntary; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, attach or garnish, or levy or execute on any right to payments or other benefits payable hereunder, shall be void.
(b)      A Grantee may designate in writing, on forms to be prescribed by the Plan Administrator, a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any payments payable after his or her death and may amend or revoke such designation at any time. If no beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of a Grantee's death, payments hereunder shall be made to the Grantee's estate. If a Grantee with a vested Restricted Stock Unit dies, such Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled and the Restricted Stock Unit Value in respect of such Restricted Stock Units paid, and any payments deferred pursuant to an election under

 
8
 





        


Section 5.4(c) shall be accelerated and paid, as soon as practicable (but no later than 60 days) after the date of death to such Grantee's beneficiary or estate, as applicable.
(c)      The Plan Administrator may, taking into account, without limitation, the application of Section 409A of the Code, as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate, establish a program under which distributions with respect to Restricted Stock Units may be deferred for periods in addition to those otherwise contemplated by foregoing provisions of this Section 5. Such program may include, without limitation, provisions for the crediting of earnings and losses on unpaid amounts, and, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, provisions under which Grantees may select from among hypothetical investment alternatives for such deferred amounts in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator.
(d)      No Restricted Stock Unit shall be construed to give any Grantee any rights with respect to Shares or any ownership interest in the Company. Except as may be provided in accordance with Section 6, no provision of the Plan shall be interpreted to confer upon any Grantee of Restricted Stock Units any voting, dividend or derivative or other similar rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit.
5.6      Claims Procedures .
(a)      To the extent that the Plan is determined by the Plan Administrator to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Grantee, or his beneficiary hereunder or authorized representative, may file a claim for payments with respect to Restricted Stock Units under the Plan by written communication to the Plan Administrator or its designee. A claim is not considered filed until such communication is actually received. Within 90 days (or, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, 180 days, in which case notice of such special circumstances should be provided within the initial 90-day period) after the filing of the claim, the Plan Administrator will either:
(iii)      approve the claim and take appropriate steps for satisfaction of the claim; or
(iv)      if the claim is wholly or partially denied, advise the claimant of such denial by furnishing to him a written notice of such denial setting forth (A) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (B) specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based and, if the denial is based in whole or in part on any rule of construction or interpretation adopted by the Plan Administrator, a reference to such rule, a copy of which shall be provided to the claimant; (C) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of the reasons why such material or information is necessary; and (D) a reference to this Section 5.6 as the provision setting forth the claims procedure under the Plan.
(b)      The claimant may request a review of any denial of his claim by written application to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the notice of denial of such claim. Within 60 days (or, if special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, 120 days, in which case notice of such special circumstances should be provided within the initial 60-day period) after receipt of written application for review, the Plan Administrator will provide the claimant with its decision in writing, including, if the claimant's claim is not approved, specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based.

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS .
6.1      Grant of Dividend Equivalent Rights .
Subject to the other terms of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall, in its discretion as reflected by the terms of the Award Agreements, authorize the granting of Dividend Equivalent Rights to Eligible Persons based on the regular cash dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the date an Award is granted, and the date such Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Plan Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitation as may be determined by the Plan Administrator. If a Dividend Equivalent Right is granted in respect of an Award hereunder, then, unless otherwise stated in the Award Agreement, or, in the appropriate case, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in no event shall the Dividend Equivalent Right be in effect for a period beyond the time during which the applicable portion of the underlying Award is in effect.
6.2      Certain Terms .
(c)      The term of a Dividend Equivalent Right shall be set by the Plan Administrator in its discretion.
(d)      Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, except as contemplated by Section 6.4, a Dividend Equivalent Right is exercisable or payable only while the Grantee is an Eligible Person.
(e)      Payment of the amount determined in accordance with Section 6.1 shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of the two, as determined by the Plan Administrator.
(f)      The Plan Administrator may impose such employment-related conditions on the grant of a Dividend Equivalent Right as it deems appropriate in its discretion.
6.3      Other Types of Dividend Equivalent Rights .
The Plan Administrator may establish a program under which Dividend Equivalent Rights of a type whether or not described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 may be granted to Grantees. For example, and without limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant a Dividend Equivalent Right with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, which right would consist of the right (subject to Section 6.4) to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the dividend distributions paid on a Share from time to time.
6.4      Deferral .
The Plan Administrator may establish a program or programs (taking into account, without limitation, the possible application of Section 409A of the Code, as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate) under which Grantees (i) will have Restricted Stock Units credited, subject to the terms of Sections 5.4 and 5.5 as though directly applicable with respect thereto, upon the granting of Dividend Equivalent Rights, or (ii) will have payments with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights deferred. In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), such program may include, without limitation, provisions for the crediting of earnings and losses on unpaid amounts, and, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, provisions under which Grantees may select from among hypothetical investment alternatives for such deferred amounts in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator.

7.
OTHER AWARDS .
The Plan Administrator shall have the right to grant other Awards based on Shares having such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of Shares (which may be subject to conditions), the grant of securities convertible with Shares and the grant of restricted Shares.
8.
PERFORMANCE GOALS .
The Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may, in the case of any Awards intended to qualify for an exception from the limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code at any time that Section 162(m) applies to the Company, or otherwise ("Performance-Based Awards"), (i) establish one or more performance goals ("Performance Goals") as a precondition to the issuance or vesting of Awards, and (ii) provide, in connection with the establishment of the Performance Goals, for predetermined Awards to those Grantees (who continue to meet all applicable eligibility requirements) with respect to whom the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied. The Performance Goals shall be based upon the criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto which is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though set forth in full. The Performance Goals shall be established in a timely fashion such that they are considered pre-established for purposes of the rules governing performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code at any time that Section 162(m) applies to the Company, and compliance with such rules is sought. Prior to the award or vesting, as applicable, of affected Awards hereunder, the Plan Administrator shall have certified that any applicable Performance Goals, and other material terms of the Award, have been satisfied. Performance Goals which do not satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 7 may be established by the Plan Administrator with respect to Awards not intended to qualify for an exception from the limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.
9.
TAX WITHHOLDING .
9.1      In General .
The Company, or, a properly designated paying agent, shall be entitled to withhold from any payments or deemed payments any amount of tax withholding determined by the Plan Administrator to be required by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, require the Grantee to pay to the Company at such time as the Plan Administrator determines the amount that the Plan Administrator deems necessary to satisfy the Company's obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of (i) the receipt of a distribution in respect of Awards or (ii) any other applicable income-recognition event under the Plan or (iii) the lapsing of any restrictions applicable to any Awards.
9.2      Share Withholding .
Upon the making of a distribution in respect of Awards, the Grantee may, if approved (or pre-approved) by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, make a written election to have amounts (which may include Shares) withheld by the Company from the distribution otherwise to be made, or to deliver previously owned Shares (not subject to restrictions hereunder), in order to satisfy the liability for such withholding taxes. In the event that the Grantee makes, and the Plan Administrator permits, such an election, any Shares so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise sufficient to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes.
9.3      Withholding Required .

 
11
 





        


Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or the Award Agreement to the contrary, the Grantee's satisfaction of any tax-withholding requirements imposed by the Plan Administrator shall be a condition precedent to the Company's obligation as may otherwise be provided hereunder to provide Shares to the Grantee and to the release of any restrictions as may otherwise be provided hereunder; and the Awards shall be forfeited upon the failure of the Grantee to satisfy such requirements with respect to the distributions in respect of any Award or the lapsing of any restrictions applicable to any Award (or other income-recognition event).
10.
REGULATIONS AND APPROVALS .
(c)      The obligation of the Company to sell Shares with respect to an Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Plan Administrator.
(d)      The Plan Administrator may make such changes to the Plan as may be necessary or appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government authority or to obtain tax benefits applicable to an Award.
(e)      Each grant of an Award (or issuance of Shares in respect thereof) is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of the Award (or Shares in respect thereof), no payment shall be made, or Award or Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions in a manner acceptable to the Plan Administrator.
(f)      In the event that the disposition of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act, and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required under the Securities Act, and the Plan Administrator may require any individual receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Shares, to represent to the Company in writing that such Shares are acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution and that such Shares will be disposed of only if registered for sale under the Securities Act or if there is an available exemption for such disposition.
(g)      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall not be required to take or permit any action under the Plan or any Award Agreement which, in the good-faith determination of the Company, would result in a material risk of a violation by the Company of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.
11.
INTERPRETATION AND AMENDMENTS; OTHER RULES .
The Plan Administrator may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may (i) determine the extent, if any, to which Awards shall be forfeited (whether or not such forfeiture is expressly contemplated hereunder); (ii) interpret the Plan and the Award Agreements hereunder, with such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum deference permitted by law, provided that the Plan Administrator's interpretation shall not be entitled to deference on and after a Change in Control except to the extent that such interpretations are made exclusively

 
12
 





        


by members of the Plan Administrator who are individuals who served as Plan Administrator members before the Change in Control; and (iii) take any other actions and make any other determinations or decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan or the administration or interpretation thereof. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation of the Plan or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question, right or obligation arising from or related to the Plan, the decision of the Plan Administrator, except as provided in clause (ii) of the foregoing sentence, shall be final and binding upon all persons. Unless otherwise expressly provided hereunder, the Plan Administrator, with respect to any grant, may exercise its discretion hereunder at the time of the Award or thereafter. The Board may amend the Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that no amendment may adversely affect a Grantee with respect to an Award previously granted without such Grantee's written consent unless such amendments are required in order to comply with applicable laws; provided, however, that the Plan may not be amended without stockholder approval (a) to materially increase the total number of Shares that may be subject to Awards set forth in Section 4(a), (b) to materially modify the requirements of eligibility for participation in the Plan, (c) to materially increase the benefits accruing to Grantees under the Plan, or (d) in any other manner that in the absence of stockholder approval would cause the Plan to fail to comply with any applicable legal requirement or applicable exchange or similar rule.
12.
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE .
(a)      If (i) the Company or Subsidiaries shall at any time be involved in a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, exchange of shares, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or Subsidiaries or a transaction similar thereto, (ii) any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar change in the capital structure of the Company or Subsidiaries, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than cash dividends, shall occur or (iii) any other event shall occur which in the judgment of the Plan Administrator necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the outstanding Awards, then:
(x)    the maximum aggregate number and kind of Awards which may be granted and/or subject to Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Plan Administrator in its discretion; and
(y)    the Plan Administrator shall take any such action as in its discretion shall be necessary to maintain each Grantee's rights hereunder (including under their Award Agreements) so that their respective Awards are substantially proportionate to the rights existing in such Awards prior to such event, including, without limitation, adjustments in (A) the number of Restricted Stock Units, Shares and Dividend Equivalent Rights and other Awards granted, (B) the number and kind of shares or other property to be distributed in respect of Awards, (C) the Restricted Stock Unit Value or Fair Market Value of other Awards, and (D) performance-based criteria established in connection with Awards (to the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, as applicable); provided that, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, the foregoing clause (D) may also be applied in the case of any event relating to a Subsidiary if the event would have been covered under this Section 11(a) had the event related to the Company.
To the extent that such action shall include an increase or decrease in the number of Shares (or units of other property then available) subject to all outstanding Awards, the number of Shares (or units) available under Section 4 shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, proportionately, as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion.

 
13
 





        


(b)      If a Change in Control shall occur, then the Plan Administrator, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control, may make such adjustments as it, in its discretion, determines are necessary or appropriate in light of the Change in Control, provided that the Plan Administrator determines that such adjustments do not have an adverse economic impact on the Grantee as determined at the time of the adjustments. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to provide that upon a Change in Control, (i) all or a portion of any outstanding Awards shall become vested and transferable, and all or a portion of any outstanding Performance-Based Awards will be earned, or (iii) all or a portion of any outstanding Awards may be cancelled in exchange for a payment of cash, or all or a portion of any outstanding Awards may be substituted for Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted under the Plan.
(c)      The judgment of the Plan Administrator with respect to any matter referred to in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding upon each Grantee without the need for any amendment to the Plan.
13.
MISCELLANEOUS .
13.1      No Rights to Employment or Other Service .
Nothing in the Plan or in any grant made pursuant to the Plan shall confer on any individual any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Company, the Subsidiaries, the Advisor, the Subadvisor or their Affiliates, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Advisor, the Subadvisor and their stockholders to terminate the individual's employment or other service at any time.
13.2      No Fiduciary Relationship .
Nothing contained in the Plan (including without limitation Section 5.5(c) and 6.4), and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, shall create or shall be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or Subsidiaries or their officers or the Plan Administrator, on the one hand, and the Grantee, the Company, Subsidiaries or any other person or entity, on the other.
13.3      Compliance with Section 409A of the Code .
(a)      Any Award Agreement issued under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code may include such additional terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator determines are required to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
(b)      With respect to any Award issued under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and with respect to which a payment or distribution is to be made upon a Termination of Service, if the Grantee is determined by the Company to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, such payment or distribution, to the extent it would constitute a payment of nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that is ineligible for an exemption from treatment as such, may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of Termination of Service (to the extent required under Section 409A of the Code). Any payments or distributions delayed in accordance with the prior sentence shall be paid to the Grantee on the first day of the seventh month following the Grantee’s Termination of Service.

 
14
 





        


(c)      To the extent compliance with Section 409A of the Code is intended, the Board and the Plan Administrator shall administer the Plan, and exercise authority and discretion under the Plan, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any exemption thereto.    
(d)      The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Plan or any Award Agreement issued pursuant hereto are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
13.4      No Fund Created .
Any and all payments hereunder to any Grantee shall be made from the general funds of the Company (or, if applicable, a participating subsidiary), no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure such payments, and the Restricted Stock Units (including for purposes of this Section 13.4 any accounts established to facilitate the implementation of Section 5.4(c)) and any other similar devices issued hereunder to account for Plan obligations do not constitute Common Stock and shall not be treated as (or as giving rise to) property or as a trust fund of any kind; provided, however, that the Company may establish a mere bookkeeping reserve to meet its obligations hereunder or a trust or other funding vehicle that would not cause the Plan to be deemed to be funded for tax purposes or for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The obligations of the Company under the Plan are unsecured and constitute a mere promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future and, to the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under the Plan from the Company, such right shall be no greater than the right of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. (If any Affiliate of the Company is or is made responsible with respect to any Awards, the foregoing sentence shall apply with respect to such Affiliate.) Without limiting the foregoing, Restricted Stock Units and any other similar devices issued hereunder to account for Plan obligations are solely a device for the measurement and determination of the amounts to be paid to a Grantee under the Plan, and each Grantee's right in the Restricted Stock Units and any such other devices is limited to the right to receive payment, if any, as may herein be provided.
13.5      Notices .
All notices under the Plan shall be in writing, and if to the Company, shall be delivered to the Board or mailed to its principal office, addressed to the attention of the Board; and if to the Grantee, shall be delivered personally, sent by facsimile transmission or mailed to the Grantee at the address appearing in the records of the Company. Such addresses may be changed at any time by written notice to the other party given in accordance with this Section 13.5.
13.6      Exculpation and Indemnification .
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Board and the members of the Plan Administrator from and against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by such persons as a result of any act or omission to act in connection with the performance of such person's duties, responsibilities and obligations under the Plan, to the maximum extent permitted by law, other than such liabilities, costs and expenses as may result from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or criminal acts of such persons.
13.7      Captions .

 
15
 





        


The use of captions in the Plan is for convenience. The captions are not intended to provide substantive rights.
13.8      Governing Law .
THE PLAN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW WHICH COULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF MARYLAND.
13.9      Gender Neutral .
Wherever used herein, a pronoun in the masculine gender shall be considered as including the feminine gender unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Section 6.      Indemnification by the Subadvisor . The Subadvisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Partnership from 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 bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, misconduct, negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of any Subadvisor Indemnitee.
Section 7.      Limitations on Indemnification .
(a)      Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Subadvisor Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 hereof for any activity which the Subadvisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof.

WHEREAS, the parties by this Agreement desire to set forth their agreement regarding indemnification and advance of expenses;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions . For purposes of this Agreement:
(a)      " Affiliates " means, with respect to a specified person or entity, another person or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more persons or entities, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the person or entity specified.
(b)      " Control " means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person or entity, whether through the ability to exercise voting power, by contract or otherwise. "Controlling" and "Controlled" have meanings correlative thereto.
(c)      " Change of Control " means a change in control of the Company occurring after the Effective Date of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " Act "), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided , however , that , without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if after the Effective Date (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) there occurs a proxy contest, or the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, plan of

 
 
 



liquidation or other reorganization not approved by at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors then in office, as a consequence of which members of the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board of Directors thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, other than as a result of an event described in clause (a)(ii) of this Section 1, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.
(d)      " Corporate Status " means the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Independent Counsel" shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement. If a Change of Control has not occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, with the approval of Indemnitee, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If a Change of Control has occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, with the approval of the Board of Directors, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
(i)      " Proceeding " includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including on appeal).
Section 2.      Services by Indemnitee . Indemnitee will serve as a director and/or officer of the Company. However, this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on Indemnitee or the

 
 
 




Company to continue Indemnitee's service to the Company beyond any period otherwise required by law or by other agreements or commitments of the parties, if any.
Section 3.      Indemnification - General . Subject to the limitations in Section 7, the Company shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee (a) as provided in this Agreement and (b) as otherwise permitted by Maryland law in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; provided , however , that no change in Maryland law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder based on Maryland law as in effect on the Effective Date. Subject to the limitations in Section 7, the rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 3 shall include the rights set forth in the other sections of this Agreement, including any additional indemnification permitted by Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General Corporation Law (" MGCL ").
Section 4.      Rights to Indemnification . Subject to the limitations in Section 7, if, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party to or a witness in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf unless it is established by clear and convincing evidence that (i) the act or omission of Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (iii) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 5.      Court-Ordered Indemnification . Subject to the limitations in Section 7, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following circumstances:
(a)      if it determines Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such reimbursement; or
(b)      if it determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has been adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, in which case the court may order such indemnification as the court shall deem proper.
Section 6.      Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful . Subject to the limitations in Section 7, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, made a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 6 for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or

 
 
 



her behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
Section 7.      Limitations on Indemnification . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee for indemnification with respect to any Proceeding:
(a)      for any loss or liability unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company, (ii) Indemnitee was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company, (iii) if Indemnitee is an inside director of the Company, such loss or liability was not the result of negligence or misconduct, or, if Indemnitee is an independent director, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (iv) such indemnification is recoverable only out of the Company's net assets and not from the Company's stockholders; or
(b)      for any loss or liability arising from an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to Indemnitee, (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to Indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
Section 8.      Advance of Expenses . The Company shall advance all reasonable Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under this Agreement, applicable law, the charter or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors) to which Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be, made a party or a witness, which is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the Company, or which is initiated by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement, and which relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company, within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of the

 
 
 




execution thereof, to reimburse the portion of any Expenses advanced to Indemnitee, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, relating to claims, issues or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be established, by clear and convincing evidence, that the standard of conduct for indemnification, as set forth in Section 4, has not been met and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section 6. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 8 shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee's financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor. In any Proceeding initiated by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such, the Company shall promptly petition a court of competent jurisdiction for approval of the advancement of all reasonable Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee upon the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances.
Section 9.      Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification .
(a)      To obtain indemnification under Section 4 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
(b)      Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9(a) hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change of Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; or (ii) if a Change of Control shall not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as herein defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (C) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if retained pursuant to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 9. Any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the

 
 
 



determination as to Indemnitee's entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(c)      In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption.
(d)      The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.
Section 10.      Remedies of Indemnitee .
(a)      If (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advance of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement within 30 days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within ten days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court located in the State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 10(a); provided , however , that the foregoing clause shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 6 of this Agreement.
(b)      In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be.
(c)      If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 10, absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee's statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.

 
 
 




(d)      In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 10, seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.
Section 11.      Defense of the Underlying Proceeding .
(a)      Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly upon being served with or receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, notice, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder; provided , however , that the failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company's ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.
(b)      Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 11(b) and of Section 11(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided , however , that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 11(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee or (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This Section 11(b) shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 10 above or Section 17 below.
(c)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee's Corporate Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that he or she may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or (iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee's choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that

 
 
 



the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee's choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, at the expense of the Company (subject to Section 10(d)), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.
Section 12.      Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Subrogation; Insurance.
(a)      The rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the charter or Bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
(b)      In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(c)      The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
Section 13.      Insurance . The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to acquire and maintain directors and officers liability insurance, on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company, with the advice of counsel, covering Indemnitee or any claim made against Indemnitee for service as a director or officer of the Company and covering the Company for any indemnification or advance of Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any claims made against Indemnitee for service as a director or officer of the Company.

FORM OF SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT
WITH CAREY FINANCIAL, LLC

To:                     
RE:
CAREY WATERMARK INVESTORS 2 INCORPORATED
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Carey Financial, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) entered into a dealer manager agreement, dated as of ____________, 2015 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), with Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), under which the Dealer Manager agreed to use its best efforts to solicit subscriptions in connection with the public offering (the “Offering”) for its shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, as described in the Dealer Manager Agreement commencing on the initial Effective Date (as defined below).   Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings therefor as in the Dealer Manager Agreement.
In connection with the performance of the Dealer Manager’s obligations under Section 3 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager is authorized to retain the services of securities dealers (the “Selected Dealers”) who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to solicit subscriptions for Shares in connection with the Offering. You are hereby invited to become a Selected Dealer and, as such, to use your reasonable best efforts to solicit subscribers for Shares, in accordance with the following terms and conditions of this selected dealer agreement (this “Agreement”):
1.
Registration Statement .
(a)
Registration Statement and Prospectus. A registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-196681), including a preliminary prospectus, has been prepared by the Company and was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 11, 2014, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulations”) for the registration of the Offering.  The Company has prepared and filed such amendments thereto and such amended prospectus as may have been required to the date hereof, and will file such additional amendments and supplements thereto as may hereafter be required. The registration statement on Form S-11 and the prospectus contained therein, as finally amended at the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission (the “Effective Date”) are respectively hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus”, except that:
(i)
if the Company files a post-effective amendment to such registration statement, then the term “Registration Statement” shall, from and after the declaration of the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment by the Commission, refer to such registration statement as amended by such post-effective amendment, and the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the amended prospectus then on file with the Commission; and

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    1


(ii)
if the prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations shall differ from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, shall have become effective, then the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such prospectus filed pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c), as the case may be, from and after the date on which it shall have been filed. The term “preliminary Prospectus” as used herein shall mean a preliminary prospectus related to the Shares as contemplated by Rule 430 or Rule 430A of the Securities Act Rules and Regulations included at any time as part of the Registration Statement.
As used herein, the terms “Registration Statement”, “preliminary Prospectus” and “Prospectus” shall include the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. As used herein, the term “Effective Date” also shall refer to the effective date of each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, unless the context otherwise requires.
1.
Compliance with Applicable Rules and Regulations; License and Association Membership .
Upon the date of this Agreement, the undersigned securities dealer will become one of the “Selected Dealers” referred to in the Dealer Manager Agreement and is referred to herein as “Selected Dealer”. Selected Dealer agrees that solicitation and other activities by it hereunder shall comply with, and shall be undertaken only in accordance with, the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the terms of this Agreement, the Securities Act, the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Rules and Regulations”), the Blue Sky Survey (as defined below), the FINRA Rules applicable to the Offering from time to time in effect, specifically including, but not in any way limited to, NASD Conduct Rules 2340 (Customer Account Statements) and 2420 (Dealing with Non-Members), and FINRA Rules 2111 (Suitability), 2310 (Direct Participation Programs), 5130 (Restrictions on the Purchase and Sale of Initial Equity Public Offerings), and 5141 (Sale of Securities in a Fixed Price Offering), and the provisions of Article III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc., as revised and amended on May 7, 2007 and as may be further revised and amended (the “NASAA Guidelines”).
Selected Dealer’s acceptance of this Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and to the Dealer Manager that Selected Dealer is a properly registered or licensed broker-dealer, duly authorized to sell Shares under federal and state securities laws and regulations in all states where it offers or sells Shares, and that it is a member in good standing of FINRA. Selected Dealer represents and warrants that it is currently licensed as a broker-dealer in the jurisdictions identified on Schedule I to this Agreement and that its independent contractors and registered representatives have the appropriate licenses to offer and sell the Shares in such jurisdictions.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate with no further action by either party if Selected Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of the state in which Selected Dealer’s principal office is located. Selected Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately if Selected Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA or with the securities commission of any state in which Selected Dealer is currently registered or licensed.
2.
Limitation of Offer; Investor Suitability .
(a)
Investor Suitability. Selected Dealer will offer Shares only:

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    2


(i)
to persons that meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager, and
(ii)
in accordance with Section 8, to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing by the Company or the Dealer Manager that the Shares are qualified for sale or that qualification is not required (the “Blue Sky Survey”).  
Notwithstanding the qualification of Shares for sale in any respective jurisdiction (or exemption therefrom), Selected Dealer will not offer Shares and will not permit any of its registered representatives to offer Shares in any jurisdiction unless both Selected Dealer and such registered representative are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction. In offering Shares, Selected Dealer shall comply with the provisions of the FINRA Rules, as well as other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section III.C. of the NASAA Guidelines.
In offering the sale of Shares to any person, Selected Dealer will have reasonable grounds to believe (based on such information obtained from the investor concerning the investor’s age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation, needs or any other information known by Selected Dealer after due inquiry) that:  (A) such person is in a financial position appropriate to enable such person to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax benefits where they are a significant aspect of the Company; (B) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in the program, including loss of investment and lack of liquidity; (C) the purchase of the Shares is otherwise suitable for such person; and (D) such person has either: (1) a minimum annual gross income of $70,000 and a minimum net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $70,000; or (2) a minimum net worth (determined with the foregoing exclusions) of $250,000 and meets the higher suitability standards, if applicable, imposed by the state in which the investment by such investor is made.   Selected Dealer further will use its best efforts to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in the Shares of each proposed investor solicited by a person associated with Selected Dealer by reviewing documents and records disclosing the basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each proposed investor, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained or accounts hereinafter established.  In making the determinations as to financial qualifications and as to suitability required by the NASAA Guidelines, Selected Dealer may rely on (x) representations from investment advisers who are not affiliated with Selected Dealer, banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries, and (y) information it has obtained from a prospective investor, including such information as the investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the person or any other information known by Selected Dealer after due inquiry.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Selected Dealer shall not execute any transaction with the Company in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the customer.
(b)
Maintenance of Records. Selected Dealer shall maintain, for at least six years or for a period of time not less than that required in order to comply with all applicable federal, state and other regulatory requirements, whichever is later, a record of the information obtained to determine that an investor meets the suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Shares (both at the time of the initial subscription and at the time of any additional subscriptions) and a representation of the investor that the investor is investing for the investor’s own account or, in lieu of such

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    3


representation, information indicating that the investor for whose account the investment was made met the suitability standards. Selected Dealer may satisfy its obligation by contractually requiring such information to be maintained by the investment advisers or banks discussed above. Selected Dealer further agrees to comply with the record keeping requirements of the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Selected Dealer agrees to make such documents and records available to the Dealer Manager and the Company upon request, and representatives of the Commission, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon Selected Dealer’s receipt of an appropriate document subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency.
3.
Delivery of Prospectus and Approved Sales Literature.
(a)
Delivery of Prospectus and Approved Sales Literature. Selected Dealer will:  
(i)
deliver a Prospectus, as then supplemented or amended, to each person who subscribes for Shares at least five business days prior to the tender of such person’s order form, which is included as Annex B to the Prospectus (the “Order Form”);
(ii)
promptly comply with the written request of any person for a copy of the Prospectus, as then supplemented or amended, during the period between the initial Effective Date and the termination of the Offering;
(iii)
deliver to any person, in accordance with applicable law or as prescribed by any state securities administrator, a copy of any prescribed document included within or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and any supplements thereto during the course of the Offering;
(iv)
not use any sales materials in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares except Approved Sales Literature;
(v)
to the extent the Company provides Approved Sales Literature, not use such materials unless accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus, as then currently in effect, and as may be supplemented in the future; and
(vi)
not give or provide any information or make any representation or warranty other than information or representations contained in the Prospectus or the Approved Sales Literature. Selected Dealer will not publish, circulate or otherwise use any other advertisement or solicitation material in connection with the Offering without the Dealer Manager’s express prior written approval.
(b)
Agency is Not Created. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Selected Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer Manager or the Company, and Selected Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager or the Company.
(c)
Documents Must Be Accompanied or Preceded by a Prospectus. Selected Dealer will not send or provide amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or any Approved Sales Literature to any investor unless it has previously sent or provided a Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto to that investor or has simultaneously sent or provided a Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto with such Prospectus amendment or supplement or Approved Sales Literature.

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    4


(d)
Broker-Dealer Use Only Material. Selected Dealer will not show to or provide any investor or reproduce any material or writing which is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “broker-dealer use only,” institutional communication, or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the offer or sale of Shares to members of the public.
(e)
Copies of Prospectuses and Approved Sales Literature. The Dealer Manager will supply Selected Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Prospectus (including any supplements thereto), as well as any Approved Sales Literature, for delivery to investors.
(f)
Prospectus Delivery Requirement. Selected Dealer shall furnish a copy of any revised preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom it has furnished a copy of any previous preliminary Prospectus, and further agrees that it will mail or otherwise deliver all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 under the Exchange Act.
4.
Submission of Orders; Right to Reject Orders.
(a)
Minimum Investment. Subject to certain individual state requirements and except for shares issued pursuant to the DRIP, Shares may be sold only to investors who initially purchase a minimum of $2,000 in Shares (in any combination of Class A Shares and Class T Shares), subject to certain state requirements as described in the Prospectus. With respect to Selected Dealer’s participation in any resales or transfers of the Shares, Selected Dealer agrees to comply with any applicable requirements set forth in Section 2 and to fulfill the obligations pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310.
(b)
Escrow Agreement. Until the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares has been sold, payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated.” During such time, Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Order Form, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Order Form, to UMB Bank, N.A. (the “ Escrow Agent ”) at the address provided in the Order Form.
When Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Order Form and check were initially received by Selected Dealer from the subscriber, Selected Dealer shall transmit the Order Form and check to the Escrow Agent by the end of the next business day following receipt of the check and Order Form. When, pursuant to Selected Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, Selected Dealer’s final internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Selected Dealer shall transmit the check and Order Form to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following Selected Dealer’s receipt of the Order Form and check. The Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Order Form and check, forward both the Order Form and check to the Escrow Agent. If any Order Form solicited by Selected Dealer is rejected by the Dealer Manager or the Company, then the Order Form and check will be returned to the rejected subscriber within 10 business days from the date of rejection.
Once the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares has been sold, subject to any continuing escrow obligations imposed by certain states as described in the Prospectus, payments for Shares shall be made payable to “Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated.” At such time, Selected Dealer shall forward original checks together with an original Order Form, executed and initialed

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    5


by the subscriber as provided for in the Order Form, to Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, c/o W. P. Carey/DST Systems, at the address provided in the Order Form.
If the minimum offering of $2,000,000 in Shares has not been obtained within six months from the Effective Date, which the Company may elect to extend to a date no later than one year from the Effective Date (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly following the Closing Date, refund to each investor by check funds deposited in the escrow account or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to the Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each investor at the address provided in the list of investors.
(c)
Acceptance and Confirmation. All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall become effective upon confirmation by the Company or the Dealer Manager, each of which reserve the right to reject any order in their sole discretion for any or no reason. Orders not accompanied by the required instrument of payment for Shares may be rejected. Issuance and delivery of a Share will be made only after a sale of a Share is deemed by the Company to be completed in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Dealer Manager Agreement.  
If an order is rejected, cancelled or rescinded for any reason, then Selected Dealer will return to the Dealer Manager any selling commissions or dealer manager fees theretofore paid with respect to such order, and, if Selected Dealer fails to so return any such selling commissions, the Dealer Manager shall have the right to offset amounts owned against future commissions or dealer manager fees due and otherwise payable to Selected Dealer (it being understood and agreed that such right to offset shall not be in limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Dealer Manager may have in connection with such failure).
5.
Selected Dealer Compensation.
(a)
Selling Commissions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Dealer Manager Agreement and, subject to the volume discounts and other special circumstances and discounts described in the “The Offering/Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager shall pay to Selected Dealer a selling commission that differs based on whether a Class A or Class T Share was sold. With respect to the Class A Shares, the Dealer Manager shall pay the Selected Dealer a selling commission of 7% of the gross proceeds from the Class A Shares sold by it and accepted and confirmed by the Company. With respect to the Class T Shares, the Dealer Manager shall pay the Selected Dealer a selling commission of 2% of the gross proceeds from the Class T Shares sold by it and confirmed by the Company. Additionally, in the Dealer Manager’s discretion, it may re-allow to the Selected Dealer an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee as described and paid in the Dealer Manager Agreement and the Prospectus for the Class T Shares sold by the Selected Dealer if the Selected Dealer has executed an addendum to this Agreement, which is attached hereto as Schedule II.  
For purposes of this Section 6(a), Shares are “sold” only if an executed Order Form is accepted by the Company and the Company has thereafter distributed the selling commission to the Dealer Manager in connection with such transaction.
(b)
DRIP Sales. Selected Dealer acknowledges and agrees that no selling commissions will be paid for sales of DRIP Shares.

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    6


(c)
Dealer Manager’s Authority to Issue Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular Shares if the Dealer Manager or the Company rejects a proposed subscriber’s Order Form. Accordingly, Selected Dealer shall have no authority to issue a confirmation (pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 10b-10) to any subscriber; such authority residing solely in the Dealer Manager, as the Dealer Manager and processing broker-dealer.
(d)
Reallowance of Dealer Manager Fee. The Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, re-allow a portion of the Dealer Manager Fee received by it to Selected Dealer as a marketing support fee (the "Marketing Fee") for the sale of the Class A Shares and/or Class T Shares if the Selected Dealer has executed an addendum to this Agreement, which is attached hereto as Schedule II.  
The Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, request the Company to reimburse, to Selected Dealer for reasonable accountable bona fide due diligence expenses, provided such expenses have actually been incurred, are supported by detailed and itemized invoices provided to the Company and the Dealer Manager, and the Company or the Dealer Manager had theretofore given its prior written approval of incurrence of such expenses.
(e)
Marketing Expenses. Certain marketing expenses such as Selected Dealer conferences may be advanced to Selected Dealer and later deducted from the portion of the Dealer Manager Fee re-allowed to that Selected Dealer. If the Offering is not consummated, Selected Dealer will repay any such advance to the extent not expended on marketing expenses. Any such advance shall be deducted from the maximum amount of the Dealer Manager Fee that may otherwise be re-allowable to Selected Dealer.  
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Selected Dealer will not be entitled to receive any Dealer Manager Fee and/or distribution and shareholder servicing fee which would cause the aggregate amount of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees and other forms of underwriting compensation (as defined in accordance with applicable FINRA rules) received by the Dealer Manager and all Selected Dealers to exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Shares in the Primary Offering.
(f)
Limitations on Dealer Manager’s Liability for Commissions. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Selected Dealer for the payment of any selling commissions or any reallowance of fees to Selected Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for the payment of selling commissions or any reallowance to Selected Dealer.  
Selected Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payments of commissions, the Marketing Fee and the distribution and shareholder servicing fee, if applicable, until the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the selling commissions, the Marketing Fee and the distribution and shareholder servicing fee. Selected Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions (including the Marketing Fee and distribution and shareholder servicing fee, if any) payable to Selected Dealer is limited solely to commissions received and the portion of the Dealer Manager fee which represents the Marketing Fee and the distribution and shareholder servicing fee received by the Dealer Manager from the Company in connection with Selected Dealer’s sale of Shares.
(g)
RIA Sales. In the event Selected Dealer has an affiliated registered investment advisor (“RIA”) which is recommending the purchase of Class A Shares to an investor who has agreed to pay compensation for investment advisory or other financial services and the Selected Dealer elects to

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    7


waive the sales commission of 7.0% and the Marketing Fee, neither of which will be paid on the sale, then the Selected Dealer must execute the RIA Addendum which is attached hereto as Schedule III.
6.
Reserved Shares. The number of Shares, if any, to be reserved for sale by each Selected Dealer may be decided by the mutual agreement, from time to time, of the Dealer Manager and the Company. The Dealer Manager reserves the right to notify Selected Dealer by United States mail or by other means of the number of Shares reserved for sale by Selected Dealer, if any. Such Shares will be reserved for sale by Selected Dealer until the time specified in the Dealer Manager’s notification to Selected Dealer. Sales of any reserved Shares after the time specified in the notification to Selected Dealer or any requests for additional Shares will be subject to rejection in whole or in part.
7.
Blue Sky Qualification.
(a)
Notice of Blue Sky Qualification. The Dealer Manager will inform Selected Dealer as to the jurisdictions in which the Dealer Manager has been advised by the Company that the Shares have been qualified for sale or are exempt under the respective securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions, but the Dealer Manager has not assumed and will not assume any obligation or responsibility as to Selected Dealer’s right to act as a broker and/or dealer with respect to the Shares in any such jurisdiction. Selected Dealer agrees that Selected Dealer will not make any offers or sell any Shares except in states in which the Dealer Manager may advise Selected Dealer that the Offering has been qualified or is exempt and in which Selected Dealer is legally qualified to make offers and further agrees to assure that each person to whom Selected Dealer sells Shares (at both the time of the initial purchase as well as at the time of any subsequent purchases) meets any special suitability standards which apply to sales in a particular jurisdiction, as described in the Blue Sky Survey and the Order Form.  
Neither the Dealer Manager nor the Company assume any obligation or responsibility in respect of the qualification of the Shares covered by the Prospectus under the laws of any jurisdiction or Selected Dealer’s qualification to act as a broker and/or dealer with respect to the Shares in any jurisdiction. The Blue Sky Survey which has been or will be furnished to Selected Dealer indicates the jurisdictions in which it is believed that the offer and sale of Shares covered by the Prospectus is exempt from, or requires action under, the applicable blue sky or securities laws thereof, and what action, if any, has been taken with respect thereto.
(b)
Selected Dealer’s Compliance Obligation. It is understood and agreed that under no circumstances will Selected Dealer, as a Selected Dealer, engage in any activities hereunder in any jurisdiction in which Selected Dealer may not lawfully so engage or in any activities in any jurisdiction with respect to the Shares in which Selected Dealer may lawfully so engage unless Selected Dealer have complied with the provisions hereof.
8.
Dealer Manager’s Authority. Subject to the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager shall have full authority to take such action as it may deem advisable with respect to all matters pertaining to the Offering or arising thereunder. The Dealer Manager shall not be under any liability to Selected Dealer (except (i) for its own lack of good faith and (ii) for obligations expressly assumed by the Dealer Manager hereunder) for or in respect of the validity or value of or title to, the Shares; the form of, or the statements contained in, or the validity of, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other instrument executed by the Company or by others; the form or validity of the Dealer Manager Agreement or this Agreement; the delivery of the Shares; the performance by the Company or by others of any agreement on its or their part; the qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of any

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    8

(i)
in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any material breach of a covenant contained herein by Selected Dealer;
(ii)
any untrue statement or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus; or in any Approved Sales Literature; or any Blue Sky Application or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Shares for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof;
(iii)
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof to make the statements therein not misleading or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided, however , that in each case described in clauses (ii) and (iii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by Selected Dealer specifically for use with reference to Selected Dealer in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendments thereof or the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto;

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    9


(iv)
any use of sales literature, including “broker dealer use only” or institutional materials, by Selected Dealer that is not Approved Sales Literature;
(v)
any untrue statement made by Selected Dealer or Selected Dealer’s representatives or agents or omission by Selected Dealer or Selected Dealer’s representatives or agents to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares in each case, other than statements or omissions made in conformity with the Registration Statement, Prospectus, Approved Sales Literature or any other materials or information furnished by or on behalf of the Company; or
(vi)
any failure by Selected Dealer to comply with applicable laws governing money laundry abatement and anti-terrorist financing efforts in connection with the Offering, including applicable FINRA Rules, Exchange Act Rules and Regulations and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”).  
Selected Dealer will reimburse the aforesaid parties for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Selected Dealer may otherwise have.
(c)
Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however , the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure.  
In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of, and unconditional release of all liabilities from, the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(d)
Reimbursement. An indemnifying party under Section 10 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows: the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party.  

Carey Financial, LLC
Selected Dealer Agreement    10


If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm (in addition to local counsel) that has been participating by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim.  Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
10.
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 10 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, the contributions provisions set forth in Section 8 of the Dealer Manager Agreement shall be applicable.
11.
Company as Party to Agreement. The Company shall be a third party beneficiary of Selected Dealer’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in Sections 10 and 11. The Company shall have all enforcement rights in law and in equity with respect to those portions of this Agreement as to which it is third party beneficiary.
12.

(ii)
refrain from the use or disclosure of nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLB Act) of all customers, except as necessary to service the customers or as otherwise necessary or required by applicable law; and
(iii)

If either party uses or discloses nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party will consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. Each party understands that it is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.
13.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs. Selected Dealer represents to the Dealer Manager and to the Company that it has established and implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with Section 352 of the PATRIOT Act and FINRA Rule 3310, that complies with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the customer identification program requirements of Section 326 of the PATRIOT Act, and the suspicious activity reporting requirements of Section 356 of the PATRIOT Act, and the laws, regulations and

SCHEDULE II
ADDENDUM TO SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT
The following reflects the Marketing Fee and/or Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee as agreed upon between Carey Financial, LLC (the “ Dealer Manager ”) and the Selected Dealer, effective [_______], 2015 in connection with sales of Shares of Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (the “Company”) by the Selected Dealer, excluding Shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.
Check each applicable box below:
Check this box if electing to sell Class A Shares.
If the Selected Dealer elects to sell Class A Shares, it may qualify to receive a Marketing Fee, of up to ___% per Class A Share sold.
Check this box if electing to sell Class T Shares.
If the Selected Dealer elects to sell Class T Shares, it may qualify to receive a Marketing Fee, of up to ___% per Class T Share sold.
If the Selected Dealer elects to sell Class T Shares, it will qualify to receive the Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee for the Class T Shares that it sells, which is calculated annually in an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price per Class T Share or, once reported, the amount of the estimated NAV per share for the Class T Shares. The Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee will accrue daily and be paid quarterly in arrears as described in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager will reallow the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee to the Selected Dealer who sold the Class T Shares to the extent the Selected Dealer Agreement with such Selected Dealer provides for such a reallowance. Notwithstanding, upon the date, if any, the Dealer Manager is notified that the Selected Dealer who sold the Class T Shares giving rise to the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to such Class T Shares, then such Selected Dealer’s entitlement to the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee related to such Class T Shares shall cease, and such Selected Dealer shall not receive the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee for any portion of the quarter in which such Selected Dealer is not the broker-dealer of record on the last day of the quarter. Thereafter, such Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee may be reallowed by the Dealer Manager to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the Class T Shares, if any, if such broker-dealer of record has been designated and has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager that provides for such reallowance. All determinations regarding the reallowance of the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee will be made by the Dealer Manager in good faith in its sole discretion. The Selected Dealer agrees to promptly notify the Dealer Manager upon becoming aware that it is no longer the broker-dealer of record to any or all of the Class T Shares held by the Selected Dealer.
Payment of the Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee with respect to the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the Annual Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee, any organization and offering fee paid for underwriting and underwriting compensation paid by the sponsor and its affiliates, equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering (i.e., the gross proceeds from the offering of Class A and Class T Shares excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan), calculated as of the same date that the Company calculates the aggregate Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fee; and (ii) the sixth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Primary Offering (excluding the DRIP) terminates.

Carey Financial, LLC
