Advisory and Administrative Fees, NXDT Segment

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, subject to the overall supervision of our Board, the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of the Company, and provides investment management services.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, as consideration for the Adviser’s services under the Advisory Agreement, we pay our Adviser an annual fee (the "Advisory Fee") of 1.00% of Managed Assets (defined below) and an annual fee (the "Administrative Fee" and, together with the Advisory Fee, the "Fees") of 0.20% of the Company’s Managed Assets.

On July 22, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement whereby the monthly installment of the Administrative Fee shall be paid in cash and the monthly installment of the Advisory Fee shall be paid in one-half in cash and one-half in common shares of the Company, subject to certain restrictions including that in no event shall the common shares issued to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement exceed five percent of the number of common shares or five percent of the voting power of the Company outstanding prior to the first such issuance (the “Share Cap”) and that in no event shall the common shares issued to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement exceed 6,000,000 common shares; provided, however, that the Share Cap will not apply if the Company’s shareholders have approved issuances in excess of the Share Cap. At the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, the Company’s shareholders did not approve issuances in excess of the Share Cap. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 208,117.75 and 378,038.36 common shares to the Adviser in payment of the Fees in an amount of $1.35 million and $2.70 million, respectively.

Under the Advisory Agreement, “Managed Assets” means an amount equal to the total assets of the Company, including any form of leverage, minus all accrued expenses incurred in the normal course of operations, but not excluding any liabilities or obligations attributable to leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without limitation, borrowing to purchase or develop real estate or other investments, borrowing through a credit facility, or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred shares or other preference securities, (iii) the reinvestment of collateral received for securities loaned in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and policies, and/or (iv) any other means. In the event the Company holds collateralized mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") where the Company holds the controlling tranche of the securitization and is required to consolidate under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") all assets and liabilities of a specific CMBS trust, the consolidated assets and liabilities of the consolidated trust will be netted to calculate the allowable amount to be included as Managed Assets. In addition, in the event the Company consolidates another entity it does not wholly own as a result of owning a controlling interest in such entity or otherwise, Managed Assets will be calculated without giving effect to such consolidation and instead such entity’s assets, leverage, expenses, liabilities and obligations will, on a pro rata basis consistent with the Company’s percentage ownership, be considered those of the Company for purposes of calculation of Managed Assets. The Adviser computes Managed Assets as of the end of each fiscal quarter and then computes each installment of the Fees as promptly as possible after the end of the month with respect to which such installment is payable.

Advisory Fees, NHT Segment

NHT is externally managed by the NHT Adviser. In accordance with the agreement entered into with the NHT Adviser (the “NHT Advisory Agreement”), the Company pays the NHT Adviser an advisory fee equal to 1.00% of the REIT Asset Value (as defined below). Under the direct supervision of the REIT, the duties performed by NHT’s Adviser under the terms of the NHT Advisory Agreement include, but are not limited to: providing daily management for NHT, selecting and working with third party service providers, overseeing the third party manager, formulating an investment strategy for NHT and selecting suitable properties and investments, managing NHT’s outstanding debt and its interest rate exposure through derivative instruments, determining when to sell assets, and managing the renovation program or overseeing a third party vendor that implements the renovation program. REIT Asset Value means the value of NHT’s total assets, as determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) except that such value shall only consolidate NHT’s and NHT Holdings, LLC assets plus NHT’s pro rata share of leverage at NHT OP. Pursuant to the terms of the NHT Advisory Agreement, NHT will reimburse the NHT Adviser for all documented Operating Expenses and offering expenses it incurs on behalf of NHT. “Operating Expenses” include legal, accounting, financial and due diligence services performed by the NHT Adviser that outside professionals or outside consultants would otherwise perform and NHT’s pro rata share of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the NHT Adviser required for NHT’s operations. Operating Expenses do not include expenses for the advisory services described in the NHT Advisory Agreement. Certain Operating Expenses, such as NHT’s ratable share of

rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses incurred by the NHT Adviser or its affiliates that relate to the operations of NHT, may be billed monthly to NHT under a shared services agreement.

As of April 19, 2024, the date of the NHT Acquisition, NHT had a payable balance of advisory fees of $6.5 million. As of June 30, 2024 there is a remaining payable of advisory fees of $6.8 million.

Reimbursement of Expenses; Expense Cap, NXDT Segment

We also generally reimburse our Adviser for operating or offering expenses it incurs on our behalf or in connection with the services it performs for us. Direct payment of operating expenses by us together with reimbursement of operating expenses to the Adviser, plus compensation expenses relating to equity awards granted under a long-term incentive plan and all other corporate general and administrative expenses of the Company, including the Fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, may not exceed the Expense Cap of 1.5% of Managed Assets, calculated as of the end of each quarter, for the twelve-month period following the Company’s receipt of the Deregistration Order. This limitation ended on June 30, 2023 and did not apply to Offering Expenses, legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with extraordinary litigation and mergers and acquisitions or other events outside the ordinary course of our business or any out-of-pocket acquisition or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of certain real estate-related investments; provided, in the event the Company consolidates another entity that it does not wholly own as a result of owning a controlling interest in such entity or otherwise, expenses will be calculated without giving effect to such consolidation and instead such entity’s expenses will, on a pro rata basis consistent with the Company’s percentage ownership, be considered those of the Company for purposes of calculation of expenses. The Adviser may, at its discretion and at any time, waive its right to reimbursement for eligible out-of-pocket expenses paid on the Company’s behalf. Once waived, those expenses are considered permanently waived and became non-recoupable.

The Advisory Agreement has an initial term of three years that will expire on July 1, 2025, and successive additional one-year terms thereafter unless earlier terminated. We have the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement on 30 days’ written notice upon the occurrence of a cause event (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). The Advisory Agreement can be terminated by us or the Adviser without cause upon the expiration of the then-current term with at least 180 days’ written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of such term. The Adviser may also terminate the agreement with 30 days’ written notice if we have materially breached the agreement and such breach has continued for 30 days before we are given such notice. In addition, the Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an Advisers Act Assignment (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) unless we provide written consent. A termination fee will be payable to the Adviser by us upon termination of the Advisory Agreement for any reason, including non-renewal, other than a termination by us upon the occurrence of a cause event or due to an Advisers Act Assignment. The termination fee will be equal to three times the Fees earned by the Adviser during the twelve month period immediately preceding the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the effective termination date; provided, however, if the Advisory Agreement is terminated prior to the one year anniversary of the date of the Advisory Agreement, the Fees earned during such period will be annualized for purposes of calculating the Fees.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred Administrative Fees and Advisory Fees of $3.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred Administrative Fees and Advisory Fees of $6.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Expense Cap, NHT Segment

Pursuant to the terms of the NHT Advisory Agreement, expenses paid or incurred by NHT for advisory fees payable to the NHT Adviser, Operating Expenses incurred by the NHT Adviser or its affiliates in connection with the services it provides to NHT and its subsidiaries and compensation expenses relating to equity awards granted under a long-term incentive plan of NHT will not exceed 1.5% of REIT Asset Value for the calendar year (or part thereof) that the NHT Advisory Agreement is in effect (the “NHT Expense Cap”). The NHT Expense Cap does not apply to legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with mergers and acquisitions, extraordinary litigation, or other events outside NHT’s ordinary course of business or any out-of-pocket acquisition or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of real estate assets. From the date of the NHT Acquisition to the period ended June 30, 2024, NHT incurred expenses subject to the NHT Expense Cap of $1.0 million.

Internalization Fee, NHT Segment

NHT and/or the NHT OP may elect to acquire all of the outstanding and issued equity interests of the NHT Adviser (an “NHT Adviser Internalization”) by exercising its rights, in its sole discretion, under the NHT Advisory Agreement (subject to certain terms and conditions) to effect an NHT Adviser Internalization. NHT will pay the Adviser a fee equal to three times the prior 12 months’ advisory fees. Such internalization fee is limited to 7.5% of the combined equity value of NHT and the NHT OP on a consolidated basis as of the date of the NHT Adviser Internalization.

Loans from Affiliates

As of June 30, 2024, the NHT OP has entered into several convertible notes with certain affiliates of the NHT Adviser totaling $51.0 million see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

On December 8, 2022, NSP completed a transaction that resulted in it acquiring 100% of the equity interest in SAFStor.

The Company also guarantees the full payment of the debt upon the occurrence of any Springing Recourse Events (as defined in the respective SAFStor Loan Agreement), such as if the borrower voluntarily files a bankruptcy or similar liquidation or reorganization action or upon certain other violations of the respective SAFStor Loan Agreement. The guarantees by the Company are limited for loss recourse events, to the loss attributable to properties in which it indirectly owns an interest and for Springing Recourse Events (as defined in the respective SAFStor Loan Agreement) to the pro-rata share of the aggregate liability of all guarantors within the pool of the guarantor properties. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the pools of guaranties is $244.44 million.

On September 14, 2022, the Company entered into guaranties (the “BS Guaranties”) for the benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”) and any additional or subsequent lenders from time to time (collectively, “BS Lender”) under a loan agreement (the "BS Loan Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company guaranteed certain obligations of the borrowers (“BS Borrower”) under the BS Loan Agreement. The Company, through its ownership in NSP, owns an indirect interest in BS Borrower and entered into the BS Guaranties as a condition of BS Lender lending to

BS Borrower under the BS Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the BS Guaranties, the Company guaranteed certain carrying obligations, including interest payments, of BS Borrower and certain recourse obligations of BS Borrower pertaining to exculpation or indemnification of BS Lender. The BS Guaranties also provide that the Company may be required to repay principal amounts upon the occurrence of certain events, including certain action or inaction by BS Borrower, but does not provide for a full guarantee of repayment in all circumstances. The BS Loan Agreement provides for a single initial advance of the loan in the amount of $221.8 million to BS Borrower on the closing date and provides BS Borrower the right to request additional advances in connection with subsequently acquired properties. Amounts outstanding under the BS Loan Agreement are due and payable on March 9, 2024 which date may, at the option of BS Borrower, be extended for an additional six months upon the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions.

Amounts outstanding under the CMBS Loan Agreement are due and payable on September 9, 2024 which date may, at the option of CMBS Borrower, be extended for three successive one-year terms upon the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. Borrowings outstanding under the CMBS Loan Agreement are secured by mortgages on real property owned by one or more of the borrowers comprising CMBS Borrower and bear interest at one-month SOFR plus a spread of approximately 3.6%, which will increase by 0.1% upon a second extension of the loan maturity and by an additional approximately 0.15% upon a third extension of the loan maturity.
