Dealers’ Commissions and
Expense Reimbursements
|
Except for discounts described in or
as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution”
section of the Prospectus, the Dealer’s sales commission is
up to (a) seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds of the
Primary Shares and (b) three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds
of the DRIP Shares, in each case, sold by it and accepted and
confirmed by the Company, which commission will be paid to the
Dealer Manager and reallowed to the Dealer. For these purposes, a
“sale of Shares” shall occur if and only if a
transaction has closed with a securities purchaser pursuant to all
applicable offering and subscription documents and the Company has
thereafter distributed the commission to the Dealer Manager in
connection with such transaction.
As provided in the “Plan of
Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager
and the Dealer may reduce the amount of its dealer manager fee and
its sales commission on sales of $250,000 of Primary Shares or more
to certain purchasers in order to provide a reduction to the total
purchase price for such Shares. It is the sole responsibility of
the Dealer to determine whether a particular purchase by a
subscriber qualifies for a volume discount to the Dealer’s
sales commission and to confirm that the appropriate volume
discount was accorded to the subscriber based on the Dealer’s
review of the transaction confirmation issued by the
Company.
The Company and the Advisor will not
be liable or responsible to the Dealer for direct payment of
commissions or any other amounts to the Dealer, it being the sole
and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for all payments
to the Dealer. The Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to
receive payment of commissions and any other payments due until
such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission or
other payment from the Company or the Advisor, as applicable. The
Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for
commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of
commissions receivable associated therewith.
The parties hereby agree that the
foregoing commission is not in excess of the usual and customary
distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the
sale of securities similar to the Shares, that the Dealer’s
interest in the offering is limited to such commission from the
Dealer Manager and the Dealer’s indemnity referred to in
Section 8 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the
Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such
commission to the Dealer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Shares may be sold to (A) executive officers and directors of the
Company and their immediate family members, (B) officers and
employees of the Advisor or other affiliates and their immediate
family members, and (C) if approved by the Board of Directors of
the Company, joint venture partners, consultants and other service
providers, at a discount equal to a purchase price of $9.10 per
Share which, as provided in the
3
“Plan of Distribution”
section of the Prospectus, reflects a reduction in (X) the dealer
manager fee and/or (Y) the sales commission otherwise payable with
respect to such Shares. Also as provided in the “Plan of
Distribution” section of the Prospectus, (1) the Dealer
Manager and the Dealer shall reduce the amount of its dealer
manager fees and sales commission on sales to Qualifying Purchasers
who purchase $250,000 of Shares or more in order to provide a
reduction to the total purchase price per share for such Shares and
(2) the Dealer Manager, in its sole discretion, may reduce the
amount of its dealer manager fee and sales commission on sales to
Qualifying Purchasers who purchase in excess of $3,000,000 of
Shares. For purposes of this Article V , the term “
Qualifying Purchaser ” includes (A) an individual, his
or her spouse and members of their immediate families who purchase
the Shares for his, her or their own account; (B) a corporation,
partnership, association, joint stock company, trust fund or any
organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not; (C) an
employees’ trust, pension, profit sharing or other employee
benefit plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code; and (D)
all commingled trust funds maintained by a bank.
Subscriptions for Shares made by
Qualifying Purchasers may be combined for the purpose of
determining whether the Qualifying Purchaser is eligible for a
volume discount and/or the applicable level of volume discount,
provided that all such Shares are purchased through the Dealer. If
