Article 3
Compensation
3.1 Commissions and Marketing Support Fees.
(a) The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer, as compensation for all services to be rendered by the Managing Dealer pursuant to this Agreement, a commission of up to seven percent (7.0%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed, including a sale of Shares made under the Automatic Purchase Plan, regardless of whether such Share is sold by the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker; provided, however, that the Company will not pay commissions for sales of Shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan and will pay reduced commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of Shares, including the reduction or elimination of commissions in accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus and Section 3.2(a) and 3.2(c) herein, which reduction or elimination of commissions will not change the net proceeds to the Company. Such commission rate shall remain in effect during the full term of this Agreement unless otherwise changed by a written agreement between the parties hereto. The Managing Dealer may reallow all or any portion of such selling commissions to Participating Brokers as it sees fit.
(b) The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer a nonaccountable marketing support fee for assistance in selling and marketing the Shares of three percent (3.0%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed, including a sale of Shares made under the Automatic Purchase Plan, except for sales of Shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan or subject to reduced marketing support fees as described in Section 3.2. The Managing Dealer may reallow all or any portion of this marketing support fee for each Share sold by a Participating Broker which agrees to comply with one or more of the following conditions:
(i) have and use internal marketing support personnel (such as telemarketers or a marketing director) to assist the Managing Dealer’s marketing team;
(ii) have and use internal marketing communications vehicles such as newsletters, conference calls, cassette tapes and internal mail to promote the Company and this Offering;
(iii) answer investors’ inquiries concerning monthly statements, valuations, distribution rates, tax information, annual reports, reinvestment and redemption rights and procedures, Automatic Purchase Plan procedures, the Company’s financial status and the real estate markets in which the Company has invested;
(iv) assist investors with reinvestments, Automatic Purchase Plan purchases and redemptions;
(v) maintain the technology necessary to adequately service our investors as otherwise associated with the Offering; and
(vi) provide other services as requested by investors from time to time.
(c) The Managing Dealer may reimburse Participating Brokers for (i) technology costs and (ii) other costs and expenses associated with the Offering, the facilitation of the marketing of the Shares and the ownership of such Shares by the customers of Participating Brokers from the portion of the selling commissions and the marketing support fee retained by the Managing Dealer.
3.2 Reduced Fees and Other Fee Matters.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 3.1 herein, the following persons and entities may purchase Shares net of all or a portion of the seven percent (7.0%) commission and the three percent (3.0%) marketing support fee (assuming no other discounts apply): (i) a registered principal or representative of the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker (and the immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons); (ii) employees, officers and directors of the Company or the Advisor, or of the Affiliates of either of the foregoing entities (and the
- 4 -
immediate family members of any of the foregoing persons), any Plan established exclusively for the benefit of such persons or entities, and, if approved by the Company, joint venture partners, consultants and other service providers; (iii) a client of an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws (other than any registered investment advisor that is also registered as a broker dealer, with the exception of clients who have “wrap” accounts which have asset based fees with such dually registered investment advisor/broker dealer); and (iv) a person investing in a bank trust account with respect to which the decision-making authority for investments made has been delegated to the bank trust department. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family members” means such person’s spouse, parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren and any such person who is so related by marriage such that this includes “step-” and “-in law” relations as well as such persons so related by adoption. In addition, Participating Brokers that have a contractual arrangement with their clients for the payment of fees on terms that are inconsistent with the acceptance of all or a portion of the commissions and the marketing support fee may elect not to accept all or a portion of their compensation in the form of commissions and the marketing support fees offered by the Company for Shares that they sell. In that event, such Shares shall be sold to the investor net of all or a portion of the seven percent (7.0%) commission and the three percent (3.0%) marketing support fee. The amount of proceeds to the Company will not be affected by reducing or eliminating commissions and marketing support fees payable in connection with sales to investors described in this paragraph. Any reductions in commissions and marketing support fees will reduce the amount otherwise payable to the Managing Dealer.
(b) After such time (if any) that monies are deliverable to the Company by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, a Participating Broker may withhold the selling commissions and marketing support fees to which it is entitled from the purchase price for the Shares in the Offering and forward the balance of the subscription proceeds to the Company if (i) the Participating Broker is legally permitted to do so and (ii) (A) the Participating Broker meets all applicable net capital requirements under the rules of FINRA or other applicable rules regarding such an arrangement; (B) the Participating Broker forwards the subscription agreement to the Company and receives the Company’s written acceptance of the subscription prior to forwarding the purchase price for the Shares, net of the selling commissions and marketing support fees to which the Participating Broker is entitled, to the Company or an agent designated by the Company; and (C) the Participating Broker verifies that there are sufficient funds in the investor’s account with the Participating Broker to cover the entire cost of the subscription.
(c) In connection with the purchase and subsequent purchase of certain minimum numbers of Shares, the amount of selling commissions otherwise payable may be reduced in accordance with the volume discounts schedule set forth in the Prospectus. Participating Brokers and/or investors are responsible for requesting that subscriptions be combined, if applicable, for the purpose of determining whether such subscriptions qualify for volume discounts. Sales of Shares made under the Automatic Purchase Plan shall be eligible for volume discounts but for none of the other discounts that are described in the Prospectus.
(d) No selling commissions or marketing support fees will be paid to the Managing Dealer in connection with Shares purchased in the Reinvestment Plan.
3.3 Due Diligence Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 herein, the Company will reimburse the Managing Dealer for detailed and itemized bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Managing Dealer or reimbursed by the Managing Dealer to the Participating Brokers in connection with the Offering. Such due diligence expense reimbursement will not exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the Gross Proceeds, as defined in the Prospectus, of the Offering. All due diligence expense reimbursements paid by the Managing Dealer to Participating Brokers shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Managing Dealer, subject to such Participating Broker providing detailed and itemized invoices supporting such expenses and receiving prior approval from the Managing Dealer and the Company.
3.4 Completed Sale.
(a) The Company will accept or reject each subscription within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof. A sale of a Share shall be deemed by the Company to be completed for purposes of Section 3.1 herein if and only if (i) the Company has received a properly completed and executed subscription agreement, together with payment of the full applicable purchase price of each purchased Share, from an investor who satisfies the applicable suitability standards and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Prospectus as determined by the
- 5 -
Participating Broker (or Managing Dealer if applicable) in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Agreement; (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription; and (iii) such investor has been admitted as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, no sale of Shares shall be completed until at least five (5) business days after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of the Prospectus.
(b) The Managing Dealer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, and no commission or marketing support fee will be paid to the Managing Dealer with respect to that portion of any subscription which is rejected.
3.5 Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the commissions and marketing support fees specified in Section 3.1 herein for the sale of any Shares shall be payable in cash by the Company, as specified in Section 3.1 herein, no later than thirty (30) days after the investor subscribing for the Shares is admitted as a stockholder of the Company. Investors whose subscriptions for Shares are accepted shall be admitted no later than the end of the calendar month following the month in which such subscriptions are accepted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Company pays any commission or fees to the Managing Dealer for a sale by it or a Participating Broker of one or more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such subscription, the Company shall decrease the next payment of commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Managing Dealer by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the applicable rate established in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, multiplied by the price of the Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no payment of commissions or other compensation is due to the Managing Dealer after such withdrawal occurs, the Managing Dealer shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within ten (10) days following receipt of notice by the Managing Dealer from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.
3.6 Sales Incentives. The Company or its affiliates may provide incentive items for registered representatives of the Managing Dealer and the Participating Brokers, which in no event shall exceed an aggregate of $100 per annum per participating registered representative. In the event other incentives are provided to registered representatives of the Managing Dealer or the Participating Brokers, they will be paid only in cash, and such payments will be made only to the Managing Dealer or the Participating Brokers rather than to their registered representatives. Sales incentive programs offered to Participating Brokers must first have been submitted for review by FINRA, and must comply with FINRA Conduct Rule 2710 or 2810, as applicable. Sales incentive programs offered to registered representatives of the Managing Dealer must comply with FINRA Conduct Rule 2710 or 2810, as applicable but are not required to be submitted to FINRA. Costs incurred in connection with such sales incentive programs, if any, will be considered underwriting compensation.
3.7 FINRA Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company pay or give or cause to be paid or given any compensation or incentives in excess of amounts permitted under applicable FINRA rules or published guidance.

(e) The Participating Broker Agreements shall contain a provision by which each Participating Broker indemnifies the Company for specified acts or omissions of the Participating Broker and designates the Company as a third party beneficiary empowered to enforce such provision.
8.2 Contribution and Notices.
(a) If the right to indemnification provided for in Section 8.1 herein would by its terms be available to a person hereunder (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party”), but is held to be unavailable by a court of competent jurisdiction for any reason, then the Company, the Managing Dealer and the Participating Brokers (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties” and individually, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall contribute to the aggregate of such losses, claims, damages and liabilities as are contemplated in those paragraphs (including, but not limited to, any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any claim, action, suit or proceeding) in the ratio in which the net proceeds of the Offering of Shares have been actually received and retained by such Indemnifying Party. However, the right of contribution described in the preceding sentences is subject to the following limitation: No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(b) Any Indemnified Party entitled to contribution or indemnification will, promptly after receipt of such notice of commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or claim against him or it in respect of which a claim for contribution or indemnification may be made against another Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, notify such other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties. Failure to so notify such other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve such other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise, unless the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced in its ability to defend the action as a result of such delay. If such other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties are so notified, such other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim at its or their own expense or in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to all parties who may be required to contribute. After notice from such other Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties to the Indemnified Party entitled to contribution or indemnification of its or their acknowledgement of its or their obligations hereunder and its or their election to assume its or their own defense, the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties so electing shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses of litigation subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification or contribution in connection with the defense thereof, other than the reasonable costs of investigation. No party shall be required to contribute or provide indemnification with respect to the settlement amount of any action or claim settled without its consent.
