Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. (the “Company”), BCI IV Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and BCI IV Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”) previously entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Advisor performs certain duties and responsibilities as a fiduciary of the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Company and BCI IV Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company’s sponsor, are parties to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, dated as of June 30, 2017 (the “Partnership Agreement”).  The Sponsor is the holder of a separate series of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership with special distribution rights (the “Special Units”).  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, so long as the Advisory Agreement has not been terminated, in consideration for the services provided by the Advisor on the Company’s behalf, the Sponsor will be eligible to receive a performance based amount in the form of an allocation and distribution (the “Performance Component”). The Performance Component will only be payable if certain hurdles are met, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.  The Performance Component will be paid to the Sponsor as a performance participation interest with respect to the Special Units, or, at the election of the Sponsor, will be paid instead to the Advisor as a fee, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement and the Advisory Agreement.

On March 5, 2018, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Advisor entered into the Fifth Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) and the Company and the Sponsor entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement”) in order to clarify that the Performance Component (a) will not be calculated, accrued or paid with respect to any year in which the Company has not determined an initial net asset value (“NAV”) per share in accordance with the Company’s valuation procedures, (b) will begin to be calculated and accrued from and after the Company’s determination of the initial NAV per share, and (c) will be calculated for the entirety of the year in which the initial NAV per share is determined, using a beginning NAV per share of $10.00 as of January 1st.  The Company has not yet determined an NAV. In addition, the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement and the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement clarify that if the Sponsor elects to have the Performance Component paid instead to the Advisor as a fee, the Sponsor has the discretion to make this election with respect to all or any portion of the Performance Component for a particular year.

The preceding summary does not purport to be a complete summary of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement and the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement and the Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
