The Company’s Board of Directors does not know of any matters that may be voted upon at the 2013 Annual Meeting other than the matters set forth in the first four proposals listed above.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2013 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2013 Annual Meeting.

Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting in person. All stockholders, whether or not they plan to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting, are requested to complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. You may also authorize your proxy by Internet or telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card. It is important that your shares be voted. By authorizing your proxy promptly, you can help the Company avoid additional expenses to ensure that a quorum is met so the 2013 Annual Meeting can be held. If you decide to attend the 2013 Annual Meeting, you may revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person.

This proxy statement is furnished by the board of directors (the “Board”) of CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc., Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation by the Board of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on June 27, 2013 at the Company’s offices located at CNL Center at City Commons, 450 South Orange Avenue, 12^th Floor, Orlando, Florida 32801 (such meeting, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “2013 Annual Meeting”) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of such meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2013 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2013 Annual Meeting. This proxy statement, the proxy card and the notice setting forth matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote and the 2012 annual report are first being mailed to stockholders on April 29, 2013.

As of April 1, 2013, there were shares of common stock of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote. As of the Record Date, officers and directors of the Company had the power to vote, as determined by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

A proxy card is enclosed for your use. Simply mark your proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Authorizing your proxy will not limit your right to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting if you decide to attend in person. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting.

All proxies that have been properly authorized and not revoked will be voted at the 2013 Annual Meeting. If you authorize your proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted (i) “FOR ALL” to elect the five nominees for director named herein; (ii) “FOR” approval of the amendment and restatement of the Company’s charter (the “Charter”); (iii) “FOR” the approval of the amendment and restatement of the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”); and (iv) “FOR” ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PricewaterhouseCoopers”) as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. With respect to any other business that may properly come before the stockholders for any vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in the discretion of the proxy holder.

Each share of common stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on all matters coming before the 2013 Annual Meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the 2013 Annual Meeting, it is deemed to be present for quorum purposes and for all other matters as well. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. A stockholder may withhold his or her vote in the election of directors or may abstain with respect to each other item submitted for stockholder approval. Withheld votes, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will not be counted as votes cast. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner

of shares held in street name and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on non-routine matters.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting is required for the election of each director, provided a quorum is present. Abstentions, broker non-votes and withheld votes will have the effect of a vote against each nominee for director.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting is required for the approval of the proposal to amend the Charter set forth in Proposal II-A below. The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting is required for the approval of the proposal to amend the Charter set forth in Proposal II-B below. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting is required for the approval of the amendment and restatement of the Bylaws. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against such proposals.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the Board’s appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PricewaterhouseCoopers”) as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, provided a quorum is present. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on routine proposals, there will not be any broker non-votes with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

If sufficient votes for approval of any of the matters to be considered at the 2013 Annual Meeting have not been received prior to the meeting date, the Company intends to postpone or adjourn the 2013 Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional votes with respect to that matter. The form of proxy the Company is soliciting requests authority for the proxies, in their discretion, to vote the stockholders’ shares with respect to a postponement or adjournment of the 2013 Annual Meeting. At any postponed or adjourned meeting, the Company will vote any proxies received in the same manner described in this Proxy Statement with respect to the original meeting.

Stockholders of record who live in the United States may authorize proxies by following the “Vote by Phone” instructions on their proxy cards. Stockholders of record with Internet access also may authorize proxies by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on their proxy cards. The telephone and Internet proxy authorization procedures are designed to authenticate the stockholder’s identity and to allow stockholders to authorize a proxy and confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. If you have questions about authorizing your proxy by telephone or Internet, call Broadridge Investor Communications Solutions, Inc., the Company’s proxy solicitor (“Broadridge”), toll free at 1-877-780-4190.

Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised. A proxy may be revoked (1) by delivery of a written statement to the Secretary of the Company stating that the proxy is being revoked, (2) by presentation before or at the 2013 Annual Meeting of a subsequent proxy properly executed by the person executing the prior proxy, or (3) by attendance at the 2013 Annual Meeting and voting in person.

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies may be solicited in person and by telephone or facsimile transmission by directors and officers of the Company, or certain employees of CNL Capital Markets Corp., CNL Securities Corp., and affiliates of the Company’s advisor, CNL Lifestyle Advisor Corporation (the “Advisor”), without special compensation therefor. The Company has also retained Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a base fee of approximately $2,500, plus additional fees per contact with stockholders, subject to a maximum fee of $118,694.00, and for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expense and for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by notice from the person giving the proxy at any time before it is

exercised. Any such notice of revocation should be provided in writing and signed by the stockholder in the same manner as the proxy being revoked and delivered to the Company’s proxy tabulator.

In accordance with the Commission’s rules and regulations, in addition to mailing printed copies of proxy materials to stockholders, the Company is also providing access to these materials via the Internet.

The Bylaws allow the roles of chairman of the board and chief executive officer to be separated or combined, and the Board believes that it is appropriate to have these as separate positions at this time on account of the varying strengths, experiences and relationships of each of these individuals in the real estate industry. The chairman, Mr. Seneff, has unique knowledge, experience and relationships with the Board and management and within a broad spectrum of the real estate market, and his continued role as chairman provides significant value to the Company. Mr. Mauldin, the president and chief executive officer, has extensive experience and relationships in the sectors in which the Company acquires and owns real estate properties and the Board believes that these attributes are complementary to the strengths of Mr. Seneff.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, each of Dr. Douglas and Messrs. Ford, Folken and Woody served as Independent Directors. Mr. Folken served as an Independent Director since the Company’s inception until his death on May 28, 2012. Although the Company’s shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Company applies the exchange’s standards of independence to its own outside directors and for the year ended December 31, 2012, each

of Dr. Douglas Messrs. Ford, Folken and Woody met the definition of “independent” under Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

The Audit Committee focuses on the adequacy of the Company’s enterprise risk management and risk mitigation processes. The Audit Committee meets regularly to discuss the strategic direction and the issues and opportunities facing the Company in light of trends and developments in the REIT industry and general business environment. Throughout the year, the Board provides guidance to management regarding the Company’s strategy and helps to refine its operating plans to implement the Company’s strategy. Annually, the Audit Committee holds an extensive meeting with senior management, PricewaterhouseCoopers and internal audit dedicated to reviewing the categories of risk the Company faces, including any risk concentrations and risk interrelationships, as well as the likelihood of occurrence, the potential impact of those risks and mitigating measures. The involvement of the Audit Committee in setting the Company’s business strategy is critical to the determination of the types and appropriate levels of risk undertaken by the Company. The Board’s role in risk oversight of the Company is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the president and chief executive officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and the Board and the Audit Committee providing oversight of risk management efforts.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, each Independent Director received a $45,000 annual fee for services as well as $2,000 per Board meeting attended, whether they participated by telephone or in person. Each Independent Director serving on the Audit Committee received $2,000 per Audit Committee meeting attended, whether they participated by telephone or in person. The Audit Committee Chair received an annual retainer of $10,000 in addition to Audit Committee meeting fees and fees for meeting with the independent accountants as a representative of the Audit Committee. Independent Directors are also paid $2,000 per day for their participation in certain meetings and other Company related business outside of normally scheduled Board meetings. No additional compensation is paid for attending the 2013 Annual Meeting.

The following table sets forth the compensation earned or paid to the Company’s directors during the year ended December 31, 2012 for their service on the Board and audit committee (where applicable):

The Board met eight times during 2012. Each member of the Board attended at least 75% of the total Board meetings, except for Mr. Ford who joined the Board as an Independent Director in October 2012. During 2012, the Audit Committee held four meetings and each member of the Audit Committee attended at least 75% of the total meetings, except for Mr. Ford who joined the Audit Committee in October 2012. Although the Company does not have a policy on director attendance at the 2013 Annual Meeting of stockholders, directors are encouraged to do so. All the directors of the Company attended the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Company has a standing Audit Committee, the members of which are selected by the Board each year. During 2012, the Audit Committee was comprised of Dr. Bruce Douglas and Messrs. Adam Ford, and Robert, J. Woody, each of whom was determined to be “independent” under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange referenced above. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. A copy of the

Audit Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website at http://www.cnlifestylereit.com. The Audit Committee assists the Board by providing oversight responsibilities relating to:

In addition, the Audit Committee engages and is responsible for the compensation and oversight of the Company’s independent auditors and internal auditors. In performing these functions, the Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent auditors, management and internal auditors (including private sessions) to review the results of their work. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Audit Committee met four times with the Company’s independent auditors, internal auditors and management to discuss the annual and quarterly financial reports prior to filing them with the Commission. The Audit Committee has determined that Mr. Ford who replaced Mr. Folken as the chairman of the Audit Committee and an Independent Director, is an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules and regulations of the Commission for purposes of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Currently, the Company does not have a nominating committee, and therefore, does not have a nominating committee charter. The Board is of the view that it is not necessary to have a nominating committee at this time because the Board is composed of only five members, including a majority of “independent directors” (as defined under the New York Stock Exchange listing standards), and each director is responsible for identifying and recommending qualified Board candidates. The Board does not have a formal policy regarding diversity. The Board considers many factors with regard to each candidate, including judgment, integrity, diversity, prior professional experience, background, the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members, the extent to which the candidate would be desirable as a member of the Audit Committee, and the candidate’s willingness to devote substantial time and effort to Board responsibilities.

Company stockholders may recommend individuals to the Board for consideration as potential director candidates by timely submitting their names and appropriate background and biographical information to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s offices. Assuming that the appropriate information has been timely provided, the Board will consider these candidates substantially in the same manner as it considers other Board candidates it identifies.

Currently, the Company does not have a compensation committee because it does not have any employees and does not separately compensate its executive officers for their services as officers. At such time, if any, as the Company’s shares of common stock are listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market or the Company has employees to whom it directly provides compensation, the Company will form a compensation committee, the members of which will be selected by the full Board each year.

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the Commission, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) except to the extent that the Company incorporates it by specific reference.

Review and Discussions with Management. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 with the management of the Company. The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company’s senior management the process for certifications by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by the Commission and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for certain of the Company’s filings with the Commission.

Review and Discussions with Independent Auditors. The Audit Committee has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, “The Auditor’s Communication with

those Charged with Governance,” which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee has reviewed the selection, application and disclosure of the Company’s critical accounting policies. The Audit Committee has also received written disclosures and letters from PricewaterhouseCoopers required by Rule 3524 and Rule 3526 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence,” and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers their independence from the Company.

Conclusion. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the 2012 Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for filing with the Commission.

The Board has adopted corporate governance policies and procedures that the Board believes are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders as well as compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Commission’s rules and regulations. In particular:

The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Whistleblower Policy are available on the Company’s website at http://www.cnllifestylereit.com.

Allyn v. CNL Lifestyle Properties, Inc. et al , a purported class action lawsuit on behalf of stockholders who purchased shares under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (“DRP”) on or after April 1, 2010, was filed on January 18, 2013 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former directors. The lawsuit alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the directors and constructive trust and unjust enrichment against the Company. The factual assertions in the complaint consist primarily of the allegation that the price for shares purchased under the DRP was inflated. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages and other relief relating to the purported inflation. The Company intends to defend vigorously against such claims and is not able to determine the ultimate outcome at this time.

Stockholders who wish to communicate with a member or members of the Board may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board member or members, c/o Holly J. Greer, Secretary, CNL Lifestyle Properties,

Inc., 450 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida, 32801. The Secretary will review and forward correspondence to the appropriate person or persons for response.

The following report of the Board does not constitute “soliciting material” and should not be deemed “filed” with the Commission or incorporated by reference into any other filing the Company makes under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this report by reference therein.

The Board reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth below in this Proxy Statement (“CD&A”). Based on the Board’s review of the CD&A and the Board’s discussions of the CD&A with management, the Board approved including the CD&A in this proxy statement and the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the Commission.

The Company has no employees and all of its executive officers are officers of the Advisor and/or one or more of the Advisor’s affiliates and are compensated by those entities, in part, for their service rendered to the Company. The Company does not separately compensate its executive officers for their service as officers. The Company did not pay any annual salary or bonus or long-term compensation to its executive officers for services rendered in all capacities to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2012. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” for a description of the fees paid and expenses reimbursed to the Advisor and its affiliates.

If the Company determines to compensate named executive officers in the future, the Board will review all forms of compensation and approve all stock option grants, warrants, stock appreciation rights and other current or deferred compensation payable with respect to the current or future value of the Company’s shares.

The following table sets forth as of April 1, 2013 the number and percentage of outstanding shares beneficially owned by all persons known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of its common stock, by each director and nominee, by each executive officer and by all executive officers and directors as a group, based upon information furnished by such stockholders, directors and officers. Fractional shares are rounded to the nearest whole number. Except as noted below, the address of the named officers and directors is CNL Center at City Commons, 450 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801.

* Represents less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, certain officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s equity securities that are registered under the Exchange Act, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Commission (such persons hereinafter referred to as “Reporting Persons”). Reporting Persons are required by the Commission’s regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 that they file.

The Company does not have any stockholders who own more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company believes, based upon a review of Company records and reports filed with the Commission with respect to 2012, that the Company’s Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2012. Mr. Seneff inadvertently omitted filing a Form 4 relating to the disposition of 87,660 shares of the Company in March 1, 2009, but such transaction was reflected on a Form 5 filed with the Commission on February 21, 2013.

The Advisor and certain of the Advisor’s affiliates receive fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s stock offerings and in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of its assets. The related-party fees and compensation incurred by the Company have been reviewed by its Independent Directors, who have determined that such transactions are fair and reasonable and are on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Certain directors and officers of the Company hold similar positions with the Advisor and CNL Securities Corp. (the “Managing Dealer”), which served as the managing dealer for the Company’s common stock offerings. The Company’s chairman of the Board indirectly owns a controlling interest in CNL and the Managing Dealer. The Advisor, the Predecessor Advisor and the Managing Dealer received fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s stock offerings and the acquisition, management and sale of the Company’s assets.

Advisory Agreement - Pursuant to the advisory agreement as amended on March 20, 2013 (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor and certain affiliates are entitled to receive fees and compensation in connection with the acquisition, management and sale of the Company’s assets, as well as the refinancing of debt obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, the Advisor and its affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of actual costs incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with the Company’s organizational, offering, acquisition and operating activities. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor receives acquisition fees equal to 3% of total proceeds, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to receive a monthly asset management fee equal to (i) 0.08334% of the Company’s real estate asset value (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) and the outstanding principal amount of the loans and permitted investments (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) as of the end of the preceding month.

Pursuant to the advisory agreement as amended, the Company will pay the Advisor for substantial services rendered in connection with the sale of any of the Company’s assets, a subordinated disposition fee in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a competitive real estate commission, or (ii) 3% of the sales price of such property (or comparable competitive fee in the case of a loan or other permitted investment), provided that such subordinated disposition fee will be paid to the Advisor only in the event the Company’s stockholders have received total distributions in the amount equal or greater than the sum of their aggregate invested capital and their aggregate

stockholders’ 8% return. The subordinated disposition fee may be paid in addition to real estate commissions paid to third parties or affiliates to the extent approved by a majority of the Directors and Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction and provided that the total real estate commissions paid to all persons including the subordinated disposition fee does not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 6% of the sales price of the property; or (b) the competitive real estate commission.

Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement with CNL – In January 2013, the Company’s operating partnership entered into the exclusive right of sale listing agreement with CNL Commercial Real Estate Inc. (“CCRE”), an affiliate of CNL, pursuant to which in exchange for CCRE’s solicitation of purchasers for the sale of Route 66 Harley Davidson located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Route 66 Harley Davidson Property”), the operating partnership will pay CCRE a commission equal to either (i) 2% of the gross sales price of the Route 66 Harley Davidson Property; or (ii) 3% of the gross sales price of the Route 66 Harley Davidson Property if a cooperating broker assists in the sale of the Route 66 Harley Davidson Property. The term of the exclusive right of sale listing agreement is from January 15, 2013 through July 31, 2013.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Advisor and Predecessor Advisor collectively earned fees and incurred reimbursable expenses as follows (in thousands):

The Managing Dealer received fees and compensation in connection with the Company’s third and final public offering of common stock, which was completed on April 9, 2011. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred the following fees to related parties in connection with shares sold in that offering (in thousands):

Amounts due to affiliates for fees and expenses described above are as follows (in thousands):

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company received subscriptions of $69.0 million, $207.6 million and $406.0 million, respectively, and incurred stock issuance costs of $0, $20.2 million and $37.5 million, respectively. Stock issuance costs consist of selling commissions, marketing support fees, due diligence expense reimbursements, and other offering costs. The ratio of stock issuance costs to subscriptions received was 1:10 and 1:11 for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s third and final public offering of common stock was completed in 2011, therefore, no stock issuance costs were incurred in 2012. All 2012 subscriptions were issued through the Company’s DRP.

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s Total Operating Expenses incurred represented approximately 21.9%, 1.5% and 1.5% of Average Invested Assets, respectively, as each term is defined in the Company’s Charter. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s Total Operating Expenses incurred represented approximately 50.2%, 52.8% and 27.9% of Net Loss, respectively, as each term is defined in the Company’s Charter.

The Company also maintains accounts at CNLBank, of which Mr. Seneff and Mr. Sittema, the Company’s chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, serve as directors. The Company had deposits at CNLBank of approximately $5.5 million and $4.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Item 404 of the Commission’s Regulation S-K requires disclosure by the Company of any transaction between the Company and any related persons the amount of which exceeds $120,000 in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Related parties include any executive officers, directors, director nominees, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s voting securities, immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons, and any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is employed and in which such person has 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, the Charter contains, and/or the Board has adopted written restrictions relating to (i) transactions between the Company and its Advisor or its affiliates, (ii) certain future offerings, and (iii) allocation of properties and loans among certain affiliated entities. These restrictions include the following:

Provision of goods and services - No goods or services will be provided by the Advisor or its affiliates to the Company except for transactions in which the Advisor or its affiliates provide those goods or services in accordance with the Charter, or, if a majority of the Company’s directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transactions approve such transactions as fair and reasonable and on terms and conditions to the Company than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

Purchase or lease of properties - The Company will not purchase or lease properties in which the Advisor, the directors or any affiliate without the determination by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price no greater than the cost of the asset to the Advisor, director or affiliate unless there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and such excess amount is determined to be reasonable. In no event shall the Company acquire any such asset at an amount in excess of its current value. Further, the Company will not sell or lease properties to the Advisor, the directors or affiliates unless a majority of the directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction determine the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company.

Loans to affiliates - The Company will not make loans to its Sponsor, the Advisor, the directors, or any affiliates thereof, except (i) mortgage loans subject to the restrictions governing mortgage loans in the Charter or (ii) to its subsidiaries or to ventures or partnerships in which the Company holds a controlling interest. Any loans to the Company by the Advisor or its affiliates must be 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 Company than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.

Voting of shares - With respect to shares owned by the Advisor, the Company’s directors, or any affiliate thereof, neither the Advisor, nor the Company’s directors, nor any of their affiliates may vote or consent on matters submitted to the Company’s stockholders regarding the removal of the Advisor, directors, or any affiliate thereof or any transaction between the Company and any of them. In determining the requisite percentage in interest of shares necessary to approve a matter on which the Advisor, directors, and any affiliate thereof may not vote or consent, any shares owned by any of them shall not be included.

Suitable investment opportunities – Certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers also serve as directors and executive officers of CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., a public, non-traded company that intends to be taxed as a REIT sponsored by CNL Financial Group, LLC., an affiliate of CNL. Although the Company has different investment objectives than CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc., an investment opportunity may be suitable for both the Company and CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. The Company’s Board and the Advisor have agreed that, in the event an investment opportunity is presented to both the Company’s Advisor’s Investment Committee and the investment committee of the advisor for CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. and it is determined that the opportunity may be suitable for both the Company CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. and for which both entities have sufficient uninvested funds, the investment opportunity will be offered to the entities on an alternating basis as follows:

This policy will continue in effect until such time as the Company’s Sponsor, CNL, no longer owns or controls the Company’s Advisor and the advisor of CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc.

Certain public or private entities affiliated with the Company’s Sponsor, CNL, are bound by conflict resolution procedures that may impact the investments that are available to the Company. In particular, certain of these public and private entities affiliated with CNL, some of which invest in assets similar to those in which the Company may invest, require that if an investment opportunity becomes available which is suitable for such sponsor- and/or CNL-affiliated entities, then the entity which has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered the investment opportunity. For purposes of this conflict resolution procedure for these other entities, an investment opportunity will be considered “offered” when the opportunity is presented to the applicable board of directors for its consideration. In addition to various other factors, the determination as to whether or not an investment opportunity is suitable for more than one program will be determined based on the effect of the acquisition both on diversification of each program’s investments by types of properties and geographic area, and on diversification of the tenants of the properties, the anticipated cash flow of each program, the size of the investment, the amount of funds available to each program, and the length of time such

funds have been available for investment. A subsequent development regarding the investment opportunity, such as a delay in the closing of a property or a delay in the construction of a property, may cause any such investment to be more appropriate for an entity other than the entity which committed to make the investment. Although neither the Company nor its Advisor are bound by these conflict resolution procedures, the Company and its Advisor may be restricted by such procedures.

The Board has declared an amendment and restatement of the Charter advisable and directed that the proposal to amend and restate the Charter be submitted for consideration at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Please see attached hereto as Exhibit A a form of Articles of Amendment and Restatement which has been marked to show the proposed changes from our existing Charter. The summary of the provisions of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement included below is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit A, which you should read in its entirety.

The first proposal to amend the Charter set forth below (Proposal II-A) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting. The second proposal to amend the Charter set forth below (Proposal II-B) requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against each of the proposals.

If the proposals to amend the Charter are approved by the stockholders (regardless of whether the stockholders approve the amendment and restatement of the Bylaws described in Proposal III), the Articles of Amendment and Restatement will be filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”) and the amendment and restatement as described below will be effective upon the acceptance for record of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement by the SDAT. If the stockholders approve one but not the other proposal to amend the Charter, we will file Articles of Amendment and Restatement containing only the amendments that were approved.

Sections 5.1 and 11.1 of the Charter provide that the Company will automatically liquidate and dissolve on December 31, 2015 unless the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange (or the stockholders have approved an amendment to the Charter to extend the deadline). Because listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange or the liquidation and dissolution of the Company prior to December 31, 2015 may not be in the best interests of stockholders due to market conditions and other factors, the Board has proposed that Sections 5. 1 and 11.1 of the Charter be amended so that, by December 31, 2015, the Company will be required only to undertake to provide stockholders with liquidity of their investment, either in whole or in part, including, without limitation, through (i) listing, (ii) the commencement of an orderly sale of the Company’s assets, outside of the ordinary course of business and consistent with the Company’s objectives of qualifying as a REIT, and the distribution of the net sales proceeds thereof to the stockholders or (iii) the merger of the Company with or into another entity in a transaction which provides the stockholders with cash or securities of a publicly traded company.

In connection with these changes, in order to give the Board the maximum flexibility in considering strategic alternatives, the Board has proposed that the restrictions on roll-up transactions in current Section 10.3 of the Charter (which could increase the time required to complete a possible transaction and, if a potential acquirer is unwilling or unable to comply with certain of the requirements, could preclude a transaction altogether) be deleted.

Section 8.1 of the Charter provides that directors may be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company present in person or by proxy at an annual meeting at which a quorum is present. As a result, abstentions, broker non-votes and withheld votes have the effect of being a vote against the election of a director. The Board has proposed that in order to limit the impact of abstentions, broker

non-votes and withheld votes on the election of directors, Section 8.1 of the Charter be revised so the stockholder vote necessary for the election of directors is a majority of the votes actually cast at the annual meeting. With this revision, abstentions, broker non-votes and withheld votes would have no effect on the election of directors.

In addition to the foregoing changes, certain other revisions to the Charter will be made to reflect recent developments in corporate governance, to resolve certain inconsistencies between the Charter and Maryland law and to remove (either immediately or upon listing) certain provisions from the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association (the “NASAA REIT Guidelines”) which apply to REITs with shares that are publicly registered with the Commission but are not listed on a national securities exchange but which are not typically included in the charters of exchange-traded REITs and other companies, including the Company’s competitors. These changes include:

Certain ministerial changes will also be made to the Charter as set forth in the form of Articles of Amendment and Restatement.

In addition to the changes described in Proposal II-A above, the Board has proposed certain other changes to the Charter to more closely conform the Company’s governance structure to that of other public companies and to resolve certain inconsistencies between the Charter and Maryland law. These changes include:

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the proposed amendment and

The Board has declared an amendment and restatement of the Bylaws advisable and directed that the proposal to amend and restate the Bylaws be submitted for consideration at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Please see attached hereto as Exhibit B a form of Amended and Restated Bylaws which has been marked to show the proposed changes from our existing Bylaws. The summary of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Bylaws included below is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit B, which you should read in its entirety.

The changes to the Bylaws, which are being made for consistency with Maryland law or the Charter or to more closely conform the Company’s governance structure to that of other public companies, include:

If the stockholders do not approve the amendments to the Charter described in Proposal II-A above, the Amended and Restated Bylaws will not include the changes described in the first and third bullets above. If the stockholders do not approve the amendments to the Charter described in Proposal II-B above, the Amended and Restated Bylaws will not include the change described in the last bullet above.

Certain ministerial changes will also be made to the Bylaws as set forth in the form of Amended and Restated Bylaws.

The proposal to amend and restate the Bylaws requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the proposal.

PricewaterhouseCoopers acted as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm to audit the Company’s books and records for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. PricewaterhouseCoopers reports directly to the Company’s Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that PricewaterhouseCoopers be appointed as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors has approved the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s independent registered certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of auditors requires a majority of the votes cast. Any shares not voted, by abstention, broker non-vote or by not submitting a proxy, have no impact on the outcome of the proposal.

Although not required by law or the Company’s governance documents, the Company believes ratification of this appointment is good corporate practice because the audit of the Company’s books and records is a matter of importance to the Company’s stockholders. If the Company’s stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Company’s Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers, but still may elect to retain them. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s stockholders.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers are expected to be present at the 2013 Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to questions from the Company’s stockholders.

the appointment PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s independent registered

certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

PricewaterhouseCoopers serves as the Company’s principal accounting firm and audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers for 2012 and 2011 for audit and non-audit services (as well as all “out-of-pocket” costs incurred in connection with these services) and are categorized as Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees. The nature of the services provided in each such category is described following the table (amounts in thousands).

Audit Fees – Consists of professional services rendered in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reviews of the Company’s interim financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by the Company’s independent auditors. Such services include consents related to the Company’s registration statements, assistance with, and review of, other documents filed with the Commission and accounting advice on completed transactions.

Under the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors in order to assure that the provisions of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. The policy, as described below and set forth in the Audit Committee Charter sets forth conditions and procedures for such pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent auditor and utilizes both a framework of general pre-approval for certain specified services and specific pre-approval for all other services.

The annual audit services, as well as all audit-related services (assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the auditor’s review of the financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor), requires the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may, however, grant general pre-approval for other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide (such as comfort letters or consents). The Audit Committee has pre-approved all tax services and may grant general pre-approval for those permissible non-audit services that it has classified as “all other services” because it believes such services are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The fee amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor are established annually by the Audit Committee, and any proposed service fees exceeding approved levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Requests to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee by the independent auditor, the chief financial officer and the chief executive officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the Commission’s rules on auditor independence.

The Board does not know of any matters to be presented at the 2013 Annual Meeting other than those stated herein. If any other business should come before the 2013 Annual Meeting, the person(s) named in the enclosed proxy will vote thereon in their discretion.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned deadline, under the Bylaws, a stockholder must follow certain other procedures to nominate persons for election as directors or to propose other business to be considered at the 2014 Annual Meeting. These procedures provide that stockholders desiring to make nominations for directors and/or to bring a proper subject before a meeting must do so by notice timely received by Holly J.

SECTION 3.4 Determinations by Board. The determination as to any of the following matters, made in good faith by or pursuant to the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Corporation and every holder of Equity Shares: (i) the amount of the Net Income of the Company for any period and the amount of assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends, redemption of its capital stock or the payment of other Distributions; (ii) the amount of paid-in surplus, net assets, other surplus, annual or other cash flow, funds from operation, net profit, net assets in excess of capital, undivided profits or excess of profits over losses on sales of assets; (iii) 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); (iv) any interpretation or resolution of any ambiguity with respect to any provision of the Articles of Incorporation (including 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 Equity Shares) or the Bylaws; (v) the fair value, or any sale, bid or ask price to be applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the Company or of any Equity Shares; (vi) the number of shares of any class; (vii) any matter relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of any Assets by the Company; (viii) any matter relating to the qualification of the Company as a REIT or election of a different tax status for the Company; (ix) any interpretation of the terms and conditions of one or more agreements with any person, corporation, association, company, trust, partnership (limited or general) or other organization; or (x) any other matter relating to the business and affairs of the Company or required or permitted by applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation 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.

SECTION 0.1 Appointment and Initial Investment of Advisor. The Directors are responsible for setting the general policies of the Company and for the general supervision of its business conducted by officers, agents, employees, advisors or independent contractors of the Company. However, the Directors are not required

personally to conduct the business of the Company, and they 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 Directors may, in their sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The term of retention of any Advisor shall not exceed one (1) year, although there is no limit to the number of times and terms that a particular Advisor may be retained. ~~As of the date of these Articles of Incorporation, the~~The Advisor is the holder of 20,000 Common Shares, representing an initial investment of $200,000. The Advisor or any Affiliate may not sell this initial investment while the Advisor remains a Sponsor but may transfer the 20,000 Common Shares to other Affiliates.

SECTION 0.2 Supervision of Advisor. The Directors shall evaluate the performance of the Advisor before entering into or renewing an advisory contract and the criteria used in such evaluation shall be reflected in the minutes of meetings of the Board. The Directors may exercise broad discretion in allowing the Advisor to administer and regulate the operations of the Company, to act as agent for the Company, to execute documents on behalf of the Company and to make executive decisions which conform to general policies and principles established by the Directors.

The Directors shall establish written policies on investments and borrowing and shall monitor the administrative procedures, investment operations and performance of the Company and the Advisor to assure that such procedures, operations and programs are in the best interests of the Stockholders and are fulfilled.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for reviewing the fees and expenses of the Company at least annually or with sufficient frequency to determine that the expenses incurred are in the best interests of the Stockholders and each such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors. In addition, a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve each transaction with the Advisor or its Affiliates. A majority of the Independent Directors also will be responsible for reviewing 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 to be performed and the investment performance of the Company and that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are being carried out and each such determination shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors. Specifically, the Independent Directors will consider factors such as the Net Assets and Net Income of the Company, the amount of the fee paid to the Advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of the Company’s portfolio, the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company, rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing the same or similar services, additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, whether paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business, the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor, the performance of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations, and the quality of the portfolio of the Company relative to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The Independent Directors also shall determine whether any successor Advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function for the Company and whether the compensation provided for in its contract with the Company is justified.

SECTION 0.3 Fiduciary Obligations. The Advisor has a fiduciary responsibility to the Company and to the Stockholders.

SECTION 0.4 Affiliation and Functions. The Directors, by resolution or in the Bylaws, may provide guidelines, provisions, or requirements concerning the affiliation and functions of the Advisor.

SECTION 0.5 Termination. Either a majority of the Independent Directors or the Advisor may terminate the advisory contract on 60 days’ written notice without cause or penalty, and, in such event, the Advisor will cooperate with the Company and the Directors in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

SECTION 0.6 Subordinated Disposition Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor a deferred, subordinated disposition fee upon Sale of one or more Properties, Loans or other Permitted Investments, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a Competitive Real Estate Commission, or (ii) 3% of the sales price of such Property or Properties (or comparable competitive fee in the case of a Loan or other Permitted Investment).

Payment of such fee shall be made only if the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the Sale of a Property, Loan or other Permitted Investment and shall be subordinated to receipt by the Stockholders of Distributions equal to or greater than the sum of (a) their aggregate Stockholders’ 8% Return and (b) 100% of their Invested Capital. If, at the time of a Sale, payment of such disposition fee is deferred because the subordination conditions have not been satisfied, then the disposition fee shall be paid at such later time as the subordination conditions are satisfied. Upon Listing, if the Advisor has accrued but not been paid such disposition fee, then for purposes of determining whether the subordination conditions have been satisfied, Stockholders will be deemed to have received a Distribution in the amount equal to the product of the total number of Common Shares outstanding and the average closing price of the Common Shares over a period, beginning 180 days after Listing, of 30 days during which the Common Shares are traded.

SECTION 0.7 Subordinated Share of Net Sales Proceeds. The Company shall pay the Advisor a deferred, subordinated share of Net Sales Proceeds equal to 10% of Net Sales Proceeds from the Sale of one or more Properties, Loans or other Permitted Investments of the Company, payable after receipt by the Stockholders of Distributions equal to or greater than the sum of (i) the Stockholders’ 8% Return and (ii) 100% of Invested Capital. Following Listing, no share of Net Sales Proceeds will be paid to the Advisor.

(i) At such time, if any, as Listing occurs, the Advisor shall be paid the Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which (a) the market value of the Company (as defined below) plus the total Distributions made to Stockholders from the Company’s inception until the date of Listing exceeds (b) the sum of (1) Invested Capital and (2) the total Distributions required to be made to the Stockholders in order to pay the Stockholders’ 8% Return from inception through the date the market value is determined. For purposes of calculating the Subordinated Incentive Fee, the market value of the Company shall be the average closing price or average of bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period of 30 days during which the Common Shares are traded with such period beginning 180 days after Listing. In the case of multiple Advisors, Advisors and any Affiliate shall be allowed incentive fees provided such fees are distributed by a proportional method reasonably designed to reflect the value added to Company assets by each respective Advisor or any Affiliate. The Subordinated Incentive Fee will be reduced by the amount of any prior payment to the Advisor of a deferred, subordinated share of Net Sales Proceeds from Sales of Properties, Loans and other Permitted Investments of the Company.

(ii) In no event shall the Company pay a single Advisor both the Subordinated Incentive Fee and the Performance Fee.

(iii) In the event that the Company becomes a perpetual life entity, which will occur if the Common Shares become Listed, the Company and the Advisor will negotiate in good faith a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a perpetual life, subject to approval by a majority of the Independent Directors. In negotiating a new fee structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of the factors they deem relevant. These are expected to include, but will not necessarily be limited to: (a) the amount of the advisory fee in relation to the asset value, composition, and profitability of the Company’s portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c) the rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Advisors that perform the same or similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the Company or by others with whom the Company does business; (e) the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the performance of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, and number and frequency of problem investments; and (g) the quality of the Property, Loan and other Permitted Investments portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated by the Advisor for its own account. The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, may not approve a new fee structure that, in its judgment, is more favorable to the Advisor than the current fee structure.

SECTION 0.9 Performance Fee. Upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor shall be entitled to receive a Performance Fee if performance standards satisfactory to a majority of the Board of Directors,

including a majority of the Independent Directors, when compared to (i) the performance of the Advisor in comparison with its performance for other entities; and (ii) the performance of other advisors for similar entities, have been met. If Listing has not occurred, the Advisor shall be paid the Performance Fee in an amount equal to 10% of the amount by which (a) the appraised value of the assets of the Company on the Termination Date, less any indebtedness secured by such assets, plus the total Distributions paid to Stockholders from the Company’s inception through the Termination Date, exceeds (b) the sum of 100% of Invested Capital plus an amount equal to the Stockholders’ 8% Return from inception through the Termination Date. The Advisor shall be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements in cash within 30 days of the Termination Date. All other amounts payable to the Advisor in the event of a termination shall be evidenced by a promissory note and shall be payable from time to time. The Performance Fee will be paid in 12 equal quarterly installments without interest on the unpaid balance, provided, however, that no payment will be made in any quarter in which such payment would jeopardize the Company’s REIT status, in which case any such payment or payments will be delayed until the next quarter in which payment would not jeopardize REIT status. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amounts which may be deemed payable at the date the obligation to pay the Performance Fee is incurred which relate to the appreciation of the Company’s assets shall be an amount which provides compensation to the terminated Advisor only for that portion of the holding period for the respective assets during which such terminated Advisor provided services to the Company. If Listing occurs, the Performance Fee, if any, payable thereafter will be as negotiated between the Company and the Advisor. The Advisor shall not be entitled to payment of the Performance Fee in the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated because of failure of the Company and the Advisor to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity at such time, if any, as the Common Shares become Listed. The Performance Fee, to the extent payable at the time of Listing, will not be paid in the event that the Subordinated Incentive Fee is paid.

SECTION 0.10 Acquisition Fee and Acquisition Expenses. The Company shall pay the Advisor a fee in the amount of up to 3.0% of Total Proceeds as an Acquisition Fee. No Acquisition Fees will be paid on loan proceeds from any Line of Credit until such time as all Net Offering Proceeds have been invested by the Company. Acquisition Fees shall be reduced to the extent that, and if necessary to limit, the total compensation paid to all persons involved in the acquisition of any Property or the making or acquisition of any Loan or other Permitted Investment to the amount customarily charged in arms-length transactions by other persons or entities rendering similar services as an ongoing public activity in the same geographical location and for comparable types of Assets, and to the extent that other acquisition fees, finder’s fees, real estate commissions, or other similar fees or commissions are paid by any person in connection with the transaction. The Company shall reimburse the Advisor for Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of any Property or the making or acquisition of any Loan or other Permitted Investment, provided that reimbursement shall be limited to the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Advisor, or the lesser of the actual cost or 90% of the competitive rate charged by unaffiliated persons providing similar goods and services in the same geographic location for goods or services provided by the Advisor or its Affiliates. The total of all Acquisition Fees and any Acquisition Expenses shall be reasonable and shall not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the Real Estate Asset Value or the Contract Purchase Price of a Property, or in the case of a Loan or other Permitted Investment, 6% of the funds advanced, unless a majority of the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, approves fees in excess of these limits subject to a determination that the transaction is commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

SECTION 0.11 Asset Management Fee. The Company shall pay the Advisor a monthly Asset Management Fee in an amount equal to 0.08334% of the Company’s Real Estate Asset Value, the outstanding principal amount of any Loans and the amount invested in other Permitted Investments, as of the end of the preceding month. Specifically, Real Estate Asset Value equals the amount invested in the Properties wholly owned by the Company, determined on the basis of cost, plus, in the case of Properties owned by any Joint Venture or partnership in which the Company is a co-venturer or partner, the portion of the cost of such Properties paid by the Company, exclusive of Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses. The Asset Management Fee, which will not exceed fees which are competitive for similar services in the same geographic area, may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor. All or any portion of the Asset Management Fee not taken as to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.

SECTION 0.12 Reimbursement for Operating Expenses. The Company incurs operating expenses which, in general, are those expenses relating to administration of the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for Operating Expenses that, in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended (the “Expense Year”) exceed the greater of 2% of Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for which total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company the amount by which the total Operating Expenses paid or incurred by the Company exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines.

SECTION 0.1 Investment Objectives.

The sheltering from tax of income from other sources is not an objective of the Company.

SECTION 0.2 Review of Policies. ~~The~~Until Listing, the Independent Directors shall review the investment policies of the Company with sufficient frequency and at least annually to determine that the policies being followed by the Company at any time 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 of Directors.

SECTION 0.3 Certain Investments Which the Company is Permitted to Make. Consistent with the Company’s objective of qualifying as a REIT, other than those investments prohibited by Section 5.4 of ~~these~~the Articles of Incorporation, the Company may make investments which it may lawfully make under applicable law and which shall include, without limitation:

(i) The Company may acquire interests in Properties including, but not limited to, any Real Estate that may be leased on a triple-net basis or otherwise.

(ii) The Company may invest in Joint Ventures with the Advisor, one or more Directors or any Affiliate~~, if~~; provided, however, that, prior to Listing, a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction, must approve such investment as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint venturers.

(iii) The Company may invest in equity securities if; provided, however, that, prior to Listing, a majority of Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve such investment as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable.

SECTION 0.4 Investment Limitations. InUntil Listing, in addition to other investment restrictions imposed by the Directors from time to time, consistent with the Company’s objective of qualifying as a REIT, the following shall apply to the Company’s investments:

(i) Not more than 10% of the Company’s total Assets shall be invested in Unimproved Real Property or Mortgage Loans on Unimproved Real Property. For purposes of this paragraph, “Unimproved Real Property” does not include any Property or Real Estate under construction, under contract for development or planned for development within one year.

(ii) The Company shall not invest in commodities or commodity future contracts. This limitation is not intended to apply to interest rate futures, when used solely for hedging purposes.

(iii) The Company shall not invest in or make Mortgage Loans unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying Property. Mortgage indebtedness on any Property shall not exceed such Property’s appraised value. In cases in which a majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in which the Mortgage Loan involves the Advisor, Directors, or Affiliates, such appraisal of the underlying Property must be obtained from an Independent Expert. Such appraisal shall be maintained in the Company’s records for at least five years and shall be available for inspection and duplication by any Stockholder. 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.

(iv) The Company may not make or invest in Mortgage Loans, including construction loans, on any one Property if the aggregate amount of all Mortgage Loans outstanding on the Property, including the other Loans of the Company 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, the “aggregate amount of all Mortgage Loans outstanding on the Property, including the other Loans of the Company” 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 5% per annum of the principal balance of the Loan.

(v) The Company shall not invest in indebtedness (“Junior Debt’’) secured by a mortgage on Real Property which is subordinate to the lien or other indebtedness (“Senior Debt’’), except where such amount of such Junior Debt, plus the outstanding amount of Senior Debt, does not exceed 90% of the appraised value of such Real Property, if after giving effect thereto, the value of all such Mortgage Loans of the Company (as shown on the books of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, after all reasonable reserves but before provision for depreciation) would not then exceed 25% of the Company’s tangible assets. The value of all investments in Junior Debt of the Company which does not meet the aforementioned requirements shall be limited to 10% of the Company’s tangible assets (which would be included within the 25% limitation).

(vi) The Company shall not engage in any short sale, or borrow, on an unsecured basis, if such borrowing will result in an Asset Coverage of less than 300%, except that such borrowing limitation shall not apply to a first mortgage trust. “Asset Coverage,’’ for the purpose of this Section 5.4(vi) means the ratio which the value of the total assets of an issuer, less all liabilities and indebtedness except indebtedness for unsecured borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount of all unsecured borrowings of such issuer.

(vii) The Company may not make or invest in any Mortgage Loans that are subordinate to any mortgage, other indebtedness or equity interest of the Advisor, the Directors or any Affiliate of the Company.

(viii) The Company will not invest in equity securities unless a majority of the Directors (including a majority of Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction approve the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and determine that the transaction will not jeopardize the

(ix) The Company shall not issue (a) equity securities redeemable solely at the option of the holder (except that Stockholders may offer their Common Shares to the Company pursuant to that certain redemption plan adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time, which, if the Company is then publicly offering Common Shares shall be on the terms outlined in a section in the Company’s Prospectus relating to the redemption of the Common Shares); (b) debt securities unless the historical debt service coverage (in the most recently completed fiscal year) as adjusted for known charges is sufficient to properly service that higher level of debt; (c) Equity Shares on a deferred payment basis or under similar arrangements; (d) non-voting or assessable securities; (e) options, warrants, or similar evidences of a right to buy its securities (collectively, “Options”) unless (1) issued to all of its Stockholders ratably, (2) as part of a financing arrangement, or (3) as part of a Stock Option Plan available to Directors, executive officers or employees of the Company or the Advisor or its Affiliates. Options issuable to the Advisor, Director or any Affiliate thereof shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Equity Shares on the date of grant. Options may not be issued at exercise prices less than the fair market value of the underlying securities on the date of grant and unless a majority of the Independent Directors approve such issuance as being in the best interests of the Company, and not for consideration (which may include services) that has a market value less than the value of such Option on the date of grant.

(x) The Company 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.

(xi) A majority of the Directors shall authorize the consideration to be paid for each Property, based on the fair market value of the Property. If a majority of the Independent Directors determine, or if the Property is acquired from the Advisor, a Director, or an Affiliate thereof, such fair market value shall be determined by an Independent Expert selected by the Independent Directors.

(xii) The Company will not engage in underwriting or the agency distribution of securities issued by others or in trading, as compared to investment activities.

(xiii) The Company will not invest in any foreign currency or bullion or engage in short sales.

(xiv) The maximum amount of the Company’s borrowings in relation to its Net Assets may not exceed an amount equal to 300% of its Net Assets, in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate. In order to borrow an amount in excess of 300% of the Company’s Net Assets, a majority of the Company’s Independent Directors must approve the borrowing, and the borrowing must be disclosed and explained to stockholders in the Company’s first quarterly report after such approval occurs.

(xv) The Company may borrow money from the Advisor, 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, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than loans between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor and its Affiliates shall be entitled to reimbursement, at cost, for actual expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company or Joint Ventures in which the Company is a co-venturer.

(xvi) The Company shall not make loans to the Sponsor, Advisor, Directors or any Affiliates thereof, except as provided under Section 6.4(ii).

(xvii) The Company will not operate so as to be classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(xviii) The Company will not make any investment that the Company believes will be inconsistent with its objectives of qualifying and remaining qualified as a REIT.

(xix) In connection with that certain redemption plan adopted or to be adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time, the Company is prohibited from paying a fee to the Sponsor, Advisor, Directors or Affiliates on the repurchase of Equity Shares by the Company.

SECTION 0.2 Sales and Leases to the Advisor, Directors or Affiliates.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel or other evidence or undertakings acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company, may (prospectively or retroactively), in its sole discretion, waive the application of the Ownership Limit to a Person otherwise subject to any such limit, provided that (1) the Board of Directors of the Company obtains such representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary (as

determined by the Board of Directors of the Company), if any, to ascertain that such Person’s Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Equity Shares will not now or in the future (A) result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (B) cause the Company to Constructively Own a 10% or greater ownership interest in a tenant of the Company or a Subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) of the Company that satisfies one or more of the exceptions set forth in Section 856(d)(8) of the Code) and to fail either the 75% gross income test of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code or the 95% gross income test of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, (C) result in the Equity Shares of the Company being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons within the meaning of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code, or (D) cause the Company to receive “impermissible tenant service income” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(7) of the Code, and (2) such Person provides to the Board of Directors of the Company such representations and undertakings, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company, may in its sole and absolute discretion, require (including, without limitation, an agreement as to a reduced Ownership Limit or Excepted Holder Limit for such Person with respect to the Beneficial Ownership of one or more other classes of Equity Shares not subject to the exception), and, insofar as required by the Board of Directors of the Company, such Person agrees in writing that any violation or attempted violation of (A) such other limitation as the Board of Directors of the Company may establish at the time of such waiver with respect to such Person or (B) such other restrictions and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company may in its sole discretion impose at the time of such waiver with respect to such Person, will result, as of the time of such violation even if discovered after such violation, in the ~~conversion~~designation of such shares in excess of the original limit applicable to such Person ~~into Excess Shares pursuant to~~being subject to the treatment provided in Section 7.7(i).

(c) The Board of Directors of the Company 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.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, nothing in ~~these~~the Articles of Incorporation shall preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities of any national securities exchange or any automated quotation system. In no event, however, shall the existence or application of the preceding sentence have the effect of deterring or preventing the ~~conversion~~transfer of Equity Shares ~~into~~to the Excess Shares Trust as contemplated herein.

(vi) Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 7.6, including any definition contained in Section 7.6(i) above, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power and authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the application of the provisions of this Section 7.6 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it.

(vii) Remedies Not Limited. Except as set forth in Section 7.6(v) above, nothing contained in this Section 7.6 or Section 7.7 shall limit the authority of the Company to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Company and the interests of its stockholders by preservation of the Company’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit or the Excepted Holder Limit.

(viii) Notice to Stockholders Upon Issuance or Transfer. Upon issuance or transfer of Equity Shares, the Company shall provide the recipient with a notice containing information about the shares purchased or otherwise transferred, in lieu of issuance of a share certificate, in a form substantially similar to the following:

“The securities issued or transferred are subject to restrictions on transfer and ownership for the purpose of maintenance of the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Except as otherwise provided pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, no Person may (a) Beneficially or Constructively Own Common Shares of the Company in excess of 9.8% (or such greater percent as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the outstanding Common Shares; (b) Beneficially or Constructively Own shares of any class or series of Preferred Shares of the Company in excess of 9.8% (or such greater percent as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Shares; or (c) Beneficially or Constructively Own Common Shares or Preferred Shares (of any class or series) which would result in the Company being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code or which otherwise would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT; or (d) Transfer Common Shares or Preferred Shares if the Transfer (if effective) would result in Equity Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons for purposes of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code. Any Person who has Beneficial or Constructive Ownership, or who Acquires or attempts to Acquire Beneficial or Constructive Ownership, of Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Company in writing or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer or Acquisition or purported change in Beneficial or Constructive Ownership, must give written notice to the Company at least 15 days prior to the proposed or attempted Transfer, transaction or other event. Any purported Transfer of Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares which results in violation of the ownership or transfer limitations set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation shall be void ab initio and the intended transferee shall not have or acquire any rights in such Common Shares and/or Preferred Shares. If the transfer and ownership limitations referred to herein are violated, the Common Shares or Preferred Shares represented hereby will be automatically ~~converted into Excess Shares to the extent of violation of such limitations, and such Excess Shares will be automatically~~ transferred to an Excess Shares Trust, all as provided by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. All defined terms used in this legend have the meanings identified in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each Stockholder who so requests.”

(a) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in the Articles of Incorporation, ~~from and after the Charter Effective Date and~~ prior to the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event such that any Person (other than an Excepted Holder) would Beneficially Own shares of any class or series of Equity Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, or such that any Person that is an Excepted Holder would Beneficially Own shares of any class or series of Equity Shares in excess of the applicable Excepted Holder Limit, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.6(iv), (1) the purported transferee shall be deemed to be a Prohibited Owner and shall acquire no right or interest (or, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event, the Person holding record title to the Equity Shares Beneficially Owned by such Beneficial Owner shall cease to own any right or interest) in such number of Equity Shares the ownership of which by a Beneficial Owner would cause (A) a Person to Beneficially Own shares of any class or series of Equity Shares in excess of the Ownership

Limit or (B) an Excepted Holder to Beneficially Own shares of any class or series of Equity Shares in excess of the applicable Excepted Holder Limit, as the case may be, (2) such number of Equity Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit or the applicable Excepted Holder Limit, as the case may be (rounded up to the nearest whole share), shall be ~~automatically converted into an equal number of Excess Shares and transferred to an Excess Shares Trust in accordance with~~treated as provided in this Section 7.7(iv) and (3) the Prohibited Owner shall submit the certificates, if any, representing such number of Equity Shares to the Company, accompanied by all requisite and duly executed assignments of transfer thereof, for registration in the name of the Trustee of the Excess Shares Trust. If the Equity Shares that are converted into Excess Shares are not shares of Common Shares, then the Excess Shares into which they are converted shall be deemed to be a separate series of Excess Shares with a designation and title corresponding to the designation and title of the shares that have been converted into the Excess Shares, followed by the words “Excess Shares” in the designation thereof. Such conversion into Excess Shares and transfer to an Excess Shares TrustSuch treatment shall be effective as of the close of trading on the Business Day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event, as the case may be, even though the certificates, if any, representing ~~the~~such Equity Shares ~~so converted~~ may be submitted to the Company at a later date.

(b) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in the Articles of Incorporation, (1) ~~from and after the Charter Effective Date and~~ prior to the Restriction Termination Date there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that, if effective, would result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (2) ~~from and after the Charter Effective Date and~~ prior to the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that, if effective, would cause the Company to Constructively Own a 10% or greater ownership interest in a tenant of the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code (other than a tenant that is a “taxable REIT Subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) of the Company that satisfies one or more of the exceptions set forth in Section 856(d)(8) of the Code), (3) ~~from and after the Charter Effective Date and~~ prior to the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event, that, if effective, would result in the Equity Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons for purposes of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code, or (4) ~~from and after the Charter Effective Date and~~ prior to the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event that, if effective, would (A) cause any Person (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) of the Company) who renders or furnishes services to one or more tenants of the Company or a Subsidiary which are not “related” to the Company within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (determined without regard to the provisions of Section 856(d)(8) of the Code), to be other than an “independent contractor” for purposes of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code, or (B) cause any Person who renders or furnishes services to a “taxable REIT subsidiary” of the Company which leases, directly or indirectly from the Company, a “qualified lodging facility” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(8)(B) of the Code, to be other than an “eligible independent contractor” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9) of the Code, then, except to the extent a waiver was obtained with respect to such restriction pursuant to Section 7.6(iv), (X) the purported transferee shall be deemed to be a Prohibited Owner and shall acquire no right or interest (or, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event, the Person holding record title of the Equity Shares with respect to which such Non-Transfer Event occurred shall cease to own any right or interest) in such number of Equity Shares, the ownership of which by such purported transferee or record holder would (AA) result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, (BB) cause the Company to Constructively Own a 10% or greater ownership interest in a tenant of the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code (other than a “taxable REIT Subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) of the Company that satisfies one or more of the exceptions set forth in Section 856(d)(8) of the Code), (CC) result in the Equity Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons for purposes of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code, or (DD)(i) cause any Person (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) of the Company) who renders or furnishes services to one or more tenants of the Company or a Subsidiary which are not “related” to the Company within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (determined without regard to the provisions of Section 856(d)(8) of the Code), to be other than an “independent contractor” for purposes of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code, or (ii) cause any Person who renders or furnishes services to a “taxable REIT subsidiary” of the Company which leases from the Company, directly or indirectly, a “qualified lodging facility” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(8)(B) of the Code, to be other than an “eligible independent contractor” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9) of the Code, (Y) such number of Equity Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be ~~automatically converted into an equal number of Excess Shares and transferred to an Excess Shares Trust in accordance with~~treated as provided in this Section 7.7(iv) and (Z) the Prohibited Owner shall submit certificates, if any, representing such number of Equity Shares to the Company, accompanied by all requisite and duly executed

assignments of transfer thereof, for registration in the name of the Trustee of the Excess Shares Trust. If the Equity Shares that are converted into Excess Shares are not Common Shares, then the Excess Shares into which they are converted shall be deemed to be a separate series of Excess Shares with a designation and title corresponding to the designation and title of the shares that have been converted into the Excess Shares, followed by the words “Excess Shares” in the designation thereof. Such conversion into Excess Shares and transfer to an Excess Shares TrustSuch treatment shall be effective as of the close business on the Business Day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or Non-Transfer Event, as the case may be, even though the certificates, if any, representing ~~the~~such Equity Shares ~~so converted~~ may be submitted to the Company at a later date.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a conversion of Equity Shares into an equal number of Excess Shares, without any action required by any Person, including the Board of Directors of the Company, such Equity Shares shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the particular class or series of Equity Shares that was converted into Excess Shares and may be reissued by the Company as that particular class or series of Equity Shares.

(ii) Remedies for Breach. If the Company, or its designees, shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section 7.6(ii) or that a Person intends to Acquire or has attempted to Acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Equity Shares in violation of Section 7.6(ii), the Company shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or Acquisition, including, but not limited to, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the stock transfer books of the Company or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or Acquisition, but the failure to take any such action shall not affect the automatic ~~conversion~~transfer of Equity Shares ~~into Excess Shares and their transfer~~ to an Excess Shares Trust in accordance with Section 7.7(i) and Section 7.7(iv).

(iii) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who Acquires or attempts to Acquire Equity Shares in violation of Section 7.6(ii), or any Person ~~who owned~~whose Equity Shares ~~that~~ were ~~converted into Excess Shares and~~ transferred to an Excess Shares Trust pursuant to Sections 7.7(i) and 7.7(iv), shall immediately give written notice to the Company, or, in the event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, Acquisition or purported change in Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Company, of such event and shall provide to the Company such other information as the Company, in its sole discretion, may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer, Acquisition, or Non-Transfer Event, as the case may be, on the Company’s status as a REIT.

(iv) Ownership in Excess Shares Trust. Upon any purported Transfer, Acquisition, or Non-Transfer Event that results in Excess Shares pursuant to Section 7.7(i), such Excess Shares shall be automatically and by operation of law transferred to one or more Trustees as trustee of one or more Excess Shares Trusts to be held for the exclusive benefit of one or more Beneficiaries. Any ~~conversion~~transfer of Equity Shares ~~into Excess Shares and transfer~~ to an Excess Shares Trust shall be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of the purported Transfer, Acquisition or Non-Transfer Event that results in the conversion. Excess Shares so held in trust shall remain issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.

(v) Dividend Rights. Each Excess Share shall be entitled to the same dividends and other distributions (as to both timing and amount) as may be ~~declared~~authorized by the Board of Directors ofand declared by the Company with respect to shares of the same class and series ~~as the Equity Shares that were converted into such Excess Shares~~. The Trustee, as record holder of the Excess Shares, shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions and shall hold all such dividends and other distributions in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner with respect to such Excess Shares shall repay to the Excess Shares Trust the amount of any dividends or other distributions received by it (a) that are attributable to any Equity Shares that have ~~been converted into~~transferred to the Excess Shares Trust and (b) which were distributed by the Company to stockholders of record on a record date which was on or after the date that such shares were ~~converted into~~transferred to the Excess Shares Trust. The Company shall have the right to take all measures that it determines reasonably necessary to recover the amount of any such dividend or other distribution paid to a Prohibited Owner, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future dividends or other distributions payable on Equity Shares Beneficially Owned by the Person who, but for the provisions of Sections 7.6 and 7.7, would Constructively Own or Beneficially Own the Equity Shares that were ~~converted into~~transferred to the Excess Shares Trust; and, as soon as

reasonably practicable following the Company’s receipt or withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Excess Shares Trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary the dividends so received or withheld, as the case may be.

(vi) Rights upon Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of, or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Company, each holder of Excess Shares shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of Equity Shares of ~~the same class and series as the shares which were converted into such~~such class or series, including other Equity Shares of such class or series which were transferred to the Excess Shares ~~and other holders of such Excess Shares~~Trust, that portion of the assets of the Company that is available for distribution to the holders of such Equity Shares. The Excess Shares Trust shall distribute to the Prohibited Owner the amounts received upon such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution; provided, however, that the Prohibited Owner shall not be entitled to receive amounts in excess of, in the case of a purported Transfer or Acquisition in which the Prohibited Owner gave value for Equity Shares and which Transfer or Acquisition resulted in ~~the conversion of the shares into~~ Excess Shares, the product of (a) the price per share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Equity Shares and (b) the number of Equity Shares which were so ~~converted into Excess Shares and held by~~transferred to the Excess Shares Trust, and, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer or Acquisition in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such shares (e.g., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer or Acquisition, as the case may be, resulted in ~~the conversion of the shares into~~ Excess Shares, the product of (1) the price per share equal to the Market Price for the shares that were ~~converted into such~~so transferred to the Excess Shares Trust on the date of such Non-Transfer Event or purported Transfer or Acquisition and (2) the number of Equity Shares which were so ~~converted into~~transferred to the Excess Shares Trust. Any remaining amount in such Excess Shares Trust shall be distributed to the Beneficiary; provided, however, that in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation of, or winding up of, or any distribution of the Assets of, the Company that occurs during the period in which the Company has the right to accept the offer to purchase Excess Shares under Section 7.7(x) hereof (but with respect to which the Company has not yet accepted such offer), then (A) the Company shall be deemed to have accepted such offer immediately prior to the time at which the liquidating distribution is to be determined for the holders of Equity Shares of ~~the same~~such class ~~and~~or series ~~as the shares which were converted into such Excess Shares~~ (or such earlier time as is necessary to permit such offer to be accepted) and to have simultaneously purchased such shares at the price per share set forth in Section 7.7(x), (B) the Prohibited Owner with respect to such Excess Shares shall receive in connection with such deemed purchase the compensation amount set forth Section 7.7(ix) (as if such shares were purchased by the Company directly from the Excess Shares Trust), (C) the amount, if any, by which the deemed purchase price exceeds such compensation amount shall be distributed to the Beneficiary and (D) accordingly, any amounts that would have been distributed with respect to such Excess Shares in such liquidation, winding-up or distribution (if such deemed purchase had not occurred) in excess of the deemed purchase price shall be distributed to the holders of the Equity Shares and holders of Excess Shares resulting from ~~the conversion of~~ such Equity Shares entitled to such distribution.

(vii) Voting Rights. The holders of Excess Shares shall not be entitled to voting rights with respect to such shares. Any vote by a Prohibited Owner as a purported holder of Equity Shares prior to the discovery by the Company that such Equity Shares have been ~~converted into~~transferred to the Excess Shares Trust shall, subject to applicable law, be rescinded and shall be void ab initio with respect to such Excess Shares; provided, however, that if the Company has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind such vote.

(a) As soon as practicable after the Trustee acquires Excess Shares, but in an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely affect the price of Equity Shares, the Trustee shall designate one or more Persons as Permitted Transferees and sell to such Permitted Transferees any Excess Shares held by the Trustee; provided, however, that (1) any Permitted Transferee so designated purchases for valuable consideration (whether in a public or private sale) the Excess Shares and (2) any Permitted Transferee so designated may acquire such Excess Shares without violating any of the restrictions set forth in Section 7.6(ii) (assuming for this purpose the automatic ~~conversion~~re-designation of such Excess Shares into Equity Shares pursuant to clause (b) below) and without such acquisition resulting in the re-~~conversion~~transfer of the Equity ~~Shares underlying the Excess~~ Shares so acquired ~~into Excess Shares and the transfer of such shares to an~~to the Excess Shares Trust pursuant to Sections 7.7(i) and 7.7(iv). The Trustee shall have the exclusive and absolute right to designate Permitted Transferees of any

SECTION 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Shares (as such term is defined in the Company’s ~~Articles of Incorporation, as amended~~ charter (the “Articles of Incorporation”)) to elect additional Directors under specified circumstances, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by (i) the chairman of the Board of Directors; (ii) a majority of the Board of Directors; (iii) a majority of the Independent Directors (as such term is defined herein); or (iv) the secretary at the request in writing of stockholders holding outstanding Equity Shares (as such term is defined in the Articles of Incorporation) representing at least 10% of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at any such special meeting, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days after such request is received. Written or printed notice of any special meeting called pursuant to subsection (iv) will be provided to all stockholders within ten (10) days after any such request is received, stating the purpose of the meeting and time and place of the meeting specified in the request, or if none is specified, a time and place convenient to the stockholders.

If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at his post office address as it appears on the records of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid.

SECTION 5. SCOPE OF NOTICE. Any business of the Company may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice.

SECTION 6. QUORUM. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders holding 50% of the then outstanding shares shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under any statute, any other provision of these Bylaws, or the Articles of Incorporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the

stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

SECTION 7. VOTING. A majority of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a Director, notwithstanding the concurrence of the Board of Directors to such action. With respect to the election of Directors, “a majority of all the votes cast” shall mean that a nominee for Director receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against or affirmatively withheld as to such nominee. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are Directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted.

Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each Equity Share owned of record on the applicable record date shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. The Company’s Advisor (as such term is defined in the Articles of Incorporation), the Directors and any affiliates are prohibited from voting on or consenting to matters submitted to the stockholders regarding the removal of the Advisor, Directors or any affiliate or any transaction between the Company and any of them, nor will such shares be counted in determining a quorum or a majority in such circumstances.

SECTION 8. PROXIES. A stockholder may vote the Equity Shares owned of record by him, either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Company before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

SECTION 9. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Equity Shares registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the chief executive officer or a vice president, a general partner, trustee or other fiduciary thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the board of directors of such corporation or other entity presents a certified copy of such bylaw or resolution, in which case such person may vote such shares. Any trustee or other fiduciary may vote shares registered in his name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.

Equity Shares of the Company directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

The Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Company that any Equity Shares registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specific person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth: the class of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the share transfer books within which the certification must be received by the Company; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Directors consider necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified shares in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.

SECTION 10. INSPECTORS. At any meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting may, or upon the request of any stockholder shall, appoint one or more persons as inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of Equity Shares represented at the meeting based upon their determination of the validity and effect of proxies, count all votes, report the results and perform such other acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality and fairness to all the stockholders.

Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report

of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

SECTION 3. COMMITTEE PROCEDURES. Each committee may fix rules of procedure for its business. A majority of the members of a committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the action of a majority of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be action of the committee.
