Common use of DEALER-MANAGER COMPENSATION Clause in Contracts

DEALER-MANAGER COMPENSATION. The Company agrees to pay to you a selling commission of 7.5%, of which 7% may be reallowed by you to the Soliciting Dealers, of the sales price for each Share sold (except for Special Sales) from the 250,000,000 Shares offered on a "best efforts" basis, as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption "Plan of Distribution," subject to the limitations described below. In lieu of reimbursement of specific expenses, you will also receive, subject to the limitations described herein and in the Prospectus, a marketing contribution (equal to 2.5%) and due diligence expense allowance (equal to 0.5%), both aggregating 3% of the sale price from the 250,000,000 Shares offered on a "best efforts" basis (except for certain Special Sales), some portion of which may be reallowed by you to the Soliciting Dealers. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions explained below, effective June 1, 2004, investors making an initial cash investment of at least $250,010.00 through the same Soliciting Dealer will receive a reduction of the 7% reallowable selling commission payable in connection with the purchase of those Shares in accordance with the following schedule: Any reduction in the amount of the selling commissions in respect of volume discounts received will be credited to the investor in the form of additional whole shares or fractional shares. Selling commissions will not be paid on any such whole shares or fractional shares issued for a volume discount. To the extent reasonably practicable, purchases will be combined for the purpose of qualifying for a volume discount and crediting a purchaser or purchasers with additional Shares for the above described volume discount, and for determining commissions payable to you and reallowable to Soliciting Dealers, so long as all such combined purchases are made through the same Soliciting Dealer and approved by the Company. The Company will combine subscriptions made in the Offering with other subscriptions in the Offering by a purchaser for the purpose of computing amounts invested. Purchases by spouses will also be combined and purchases by any investor may be combined with other purchases of Shares to be held as a joint tenant or a tenant in common by such investor with others for purposes of computing amounts invested. Purchases by Tax-Exempt Entities will only be combined with purchases by other Tax-Exempt Entities for purposes of computing amounts invested only if investment decisions are made by the same Person, provided that if the investment decisions are made by an independent investment adviser, that investment adviser may not have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any of the Tax-Exempt Entities whose purchases are sought to be combined. The investor must xxxx the "Additional Investment" space on the Subscription Agreement Signature Page in order for purchases to be combined. The Company is not responsible for failing to combine purchases, where the investor fails to xxxx the "Additional Investment" space. In the case of subsequent investments or combined investments, a volume discount will be given only on the portion of the subsequent or combined investment that caused the investment to exceed the breakpoint. For example, if you are investing $50,000 with us today, but had previously invested $240,000, these amounts can be combined to reach the $250,010 breakpoint, which will entitle you to a lower sales commission on your current $50,000 investment. If the Subscription Agreements for the purchases to be combined are submitted at the same time, then the additional Shares to be credited to the purchasers as a result of such combined purchases will be credited on a pro rata basis. If the Subscription Agreements for the purchases to be combined are not submitted at the same time, then any additional Shares to be credited as a result of such combined purchases will be credited to the last component purchase, unless the Company is otherwise directed in writing at the time of such submission; except however, the additional Shares to be credited to any Tax-Exempt Entities whose purchases are combined for purposes of the volume discount will be credited only on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the investment of each Tax-Exempt Entity and their combined purchases. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, in no event shall any investor receive a discount greater than 5% on any purchase of Shares if such investor already owns, or may be deemed to already own, any Shares. This restriction may limit the amount of the volume discount available to a purchaser after the purchaser's initial purchase and the amount of additional Shares that may be credited to a purchaser as a result of the combination of purchases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular Shares if the Company rejects a proposed subscriber's Subscription Agreement, which it may do for any reason or for no reason, as set forth in the form of Subscription Agreement. In addition, no selling commission, Marketing Contribution or Due Diligence Expense Allowance shall be payable in connection with the sale of Shares directly by the Company, in connection with the performance of services, to employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates, the Advisor, Affiliates of the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their respective officers and employees and certain of their affiliates who request and are entitled to such discount. All selling commissions payable to you will be paid on a weekly basis, substantially concurrently with the acceptance of a subscriber as a Stockholder by the Company, in an amount equal to the selling commissions payable with respect to such Shares; provided however, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change the frequency of the payment of such commissions to a monthly basis. Certain other Special Sales shall be effected directly by the Company and not pursuant to this Agreement, and no selling commission shall be payable in connection with such Special Sales, including sales to one or more Soliciting Dealers and their respective officers and employees and certain of their respective affiliates who request and are entitled to purchase Shares net of selling commissions. Furthermore, no selling commission shall be payable on the Shares credited to an investor as a result of a volume discount or on sales of Shares to certain investors whose contracts for investment advisory and related brokerage services include a fixed or "wrap" fee feature. The term "Special Sales" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Prospectus. The Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance will, however, be allowed and paid with respect to those sales which are "Special Sales" solely by virtue of (a) the presence of a contract for investment advisory and related brokerage services with the proposed investor/subscriber which includes a fixed or "wrap" fee feature, (b) being sales to the Soliciting Dealers and their respective officers and employees and certain of their respective affiliates who request and are entitled to purchase Shares net of selling commissions, and (c) being sales of Shares which are entitled to a volume discount, including the Shares credited to an investor as a result of a volume discount. Any subsequent purchases of Shares by investors who initially purchased Shares net of the 7.5% selling commission are limited to a maximum discount of 5% of the public offering price per Share. Certain subscribers to the Company's Shares may agree with their participating Soliciting Dealer and the Dealer Manager to have selling commissions due with respect to the purchase of their Shares paid over a period of up to six years pursuant to a deferred commission option arrangement (the "Deferred Commission Option"), as more fully explained, and subject to the conditions set forth, under the section "Plan of Distribution--Deferred Commission Option" in the Company's Prospectus, which section is incorporated by reference herein. Stockholders electing the Deferred Commission Option will be required to pay a total of $9.40 per Share purchased upon subscription, rather than $10.00 per Share, with respect to which $0.15 per Share will be payable by the Company to the Dealer Manager as selling commissions due upon subscription, of which $0.10 per share may be reallowed to the participating Soliciting Dealer by the Dealer Manager. For each of the six years following such subscription on a date or dates to be determined by the Dealer Manager, $0.10 per Share will be paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager as deferred selling commissions with respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Deferred Commission Option, which amounts will be deducted from and paid out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholders holding such Shares, and may be reallowed to the participating Soliciting Dealer by the Dealer Manager. The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by the election of the Deferred Commission Option. Under this arrangement and based on a $10.00 per Share deemed value for each Share issued, a stockholder electing the Deferred Commission Option will pay a 1.5% selling commission, of which 1% will be reallowed, upon subscription, rather than a 7.5% selling commission, of which 7% will be reallowed, and an amount equal to up to a 1% selling commission per year thereafter for up to the next six years which will be deducted from and paid by the Company out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholder. As in any volume discount situation, selling commissions are not paid on any Shares issued for a volume discount. Therefore, when the deferred commission option is used, no deductions will be made for deferred commission obligations from cash distributions payable on the Shares issued for a volume discount, because there will not be any deferred commission obligation as to those particular Shares. The number of Shares issued, if any, for a volume discount, will be determined as described above in Section 2.4 of the Agreement. At such time, if any, that the Company's Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on a national market system, or such listing or inclusion is reasonably anticipated to occur at any time prior to the satisfaction of the remaining deferred commission obligations, the Company shall accelerate all outstanding payment obligations under the Deferred Commission Option. The amount of the remaining selling commissions due shall be deducted and paid by the Company out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such Stockholders during the time period prior to any such listing of the Shares for trading on a national securities exchange or inclusion for quotation on a national market system; provided that, in no event may the Company withhold in excess of $.60 per Share in the aggregate during the six-year period following the subscription. The maximum amount that may be withheld and the maximum number of years for which selling commissions may be deferred will be lower when the volume discount provisions are also applicable and less than 6% of the selling commissions are deferred. To the extent that the cash distributions during such time period are insufficient to satisfy the remaining deferred selling commissions due, the obligations of the Company and the Company's Stockholders to make any further payments of deferred selling commissions under the Deferred Commission Option shall terminate and the Dealer Manager (and participating Soliciting Dealers if the deferred selling commissions are reallowed to them by the Dealer Manager) will not be entitled to receive any further portion of the unpaid deferred selling commissions following any such listing for trading or inclusion for quotation of the Shares.

This restriction may limit the amount of the volume discount available to a purchaser after the purchaser's initial purchase and the amount of additional Shares that may be credited to a purchaser as a result of the combination of purchases. In the event the dollar amount of commissions paid for such combined purchases exceeds the maximum commissions for such combined purchases (taking the volume discount into effect), you will be obligated to forthwith return to the Company any excess commissions received. The Company may adjust any future commissions due to you for any such excess commissions that have not been returned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular Shares if the Company rejects a proposed subscriber's Subscription Agreement, which it may do for any reason or for no reason, as set forth in the form of Subscription Agreement.

Any subsequent purchases of Shares by investors who initially purchased Shares net of the 7.5% selling commission are limited to a maximum discount of 5% of the public offering price per Share. Certain subscribers to the Company's Shares may agree with their participating Soliciting Dealer and the Dealer Manager to have selling commissions due with respect to the purchase of their Shares paid over a period of up to six years pursuant to a deferred commission option arrangement (the "Deferred Commission Option"), as more fully explained, and subject to the conditions set forth, under the section "Plan of Distribution--Deferred Commission Option" in the Company's Prospectus, which section is incorporated by reference herein. Stockholders electing the Deferred Commission Option will be required to pay a total of $9.40 per Share purchased upon subscription, rather than $10.00 per Share, with respect to which $0.15 per Share will be payable by the Company to the Dealer Manager as selling commissions due upon subscription, of which $0.10 per share may be reallowed to the participating Soliciting Dealer by the Dealer Manager. For each of the six years following such subscription on a date or dates to be determined by the Dealer Manager, $0.10 per Share will be paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager as deferred selling commissions with respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Deferred Commission Option, which amounts will be deducted from and paid out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholders holding such Shares, and may be reallowed to the participating Soliciting Dealer by the Dealer Manager. The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by the election of the Deferred Commission Option. Under this arrangement and based on a $10.00 per Share deemed value for each Share issued, a stockholder electing the Deferred Commission Option will pay a 1.5% selling commission, of which 1% will be reallowed, upon subscription, rather than a 7.5% selling commission, of which 7% will be reallowed, and an amount equal to up to a 1% selling commission per year thereafter for up to the next six years which will be deducted from and paid by the Company out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholder. As in any volume discount situation, selling commissions are not paid on any Shares issued for a volume discount. Therefore, when the deferred commission option is used, no deductions will be made for deferred commission obligations from cash distributions payable on the Shares issued for a volume discount, because there will not be any deferred commission obligation as to those particular Shares. The number of Shares issued, if any, for a volume discount, will be determined as described above in Section 2.4 of the Agreement. At such time, if any, that the Company's Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on a national market system, or such listing or inclusion is reasonably anticipated to occur at any time prior to the satisfaction of the remaining deferred commission obligations, the Company shall accelerate all outstanding payment obligations under the Deferred Commission Option. The amount of the remaining selling commissions due shall be deducted and paid by the Company out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such Stockholders during the time period prior to any such listing of the Shares for trading on a national securities exchange or inclusion for quotation on a national market system; provided that, in no event may the Company withhold in excess of $.60 per Share in the aggregate during the six-year period following the subscription. The maximum amount that may be withheld and the maximum number of years for which selling commissions may be deferred will be lower when the volume discount provisions are also applicable and less than 6% of the selling commissions are deferred. To the extent that the cash distributions during such time period are insufficient to satisfy the remaining deferred selling commissions due, the obligations of the Company and the Company's Stockholders to make any further payments of deferred selling commissions under the Deferred Commission Option shall terminate and the Dealer Manager (and participating Soliciting Dealers if the deferred selling commissions are reallowed to them by the Dealer Manager) will not be entitled to receive any further portion of the unpaid deferred selling commissions following any such listing for trading or inclusion for quotation of the Shares.

In lieu of reimbursement of specific expenses, you will also receive, subject to the limitations described herein and in the Prospectus, a marketing contribution (equal to 2.5%) and due diligence expense allowance (equal to 0.5%), both aggregating 30.5% of the sale price from the 250,000,000 Shares offered on a "best efforts" basis (except for certain Special Sales), some portion of which may be reallowed by you to the Soliciting Dealers. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions explained below, effective June 1, 2004, investors making an initial cash investment of at least $250,010.00 3,000 through the same Soliciting Dealer will may receive a reduction of the 7customary 7.5% reallowable selling commission payable in connection with the purchase of those Shares in accordance with the following schedule: Any reduction in the amount of the selling commissions in respect of volume discounts received will be credited to the investor in the form of additional whole shares or fractional shares. Selling commissions will not be paid on any such whole shares or fractional shares issued for a volume discount. To the extent reasonably practicable, Certain purchases will may be combined for the purpose of qualifying for a volume discount and crediting a purchaser or purchasers with additional Shares for the above described volume discount, and for determining commissions payable to you and reallowable to Soliciting Dealers, so long as all such combined purchases are made through the same Soliciting Dealer and approved by the Company.

Purchases by spouses will may also be combined and purchases by any investor may be combined with other purchases of Shares to be held as a joint tenant or a tenant in common by such investor with others for purposes of computing amounts invested. Purchases by Tax-Exempt Entities will may only be combined with purchases by other Tax-Exempt Entities for purposes of computing amounts invested only if investment decisions are made by the same Person, provided that if the investment decisions are made by an independent investment adviser, that investment adviser may not have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any of the Tax-Exempt Entities whose purchases are sought to be combined.

The Company is not responsible for failing to combine purchases, where the investor fails to xxxx the "Additional Investment" space. In the case of subsequent investments or combined investments, a volume discount will be given only on the portion of the subsequent or combined investment that caused the investment to exceed the breakpoint. For example, if you are investing $50,000 with us today, but had previously invested $240,000, these amounts can be combined to reach the $250,010 breakpoint, which will entitle you to a lower sales commission on your current $50,000 investment. If the Subscription Agreements for the purchases to be combined are submitted at the same time, then the additional Shares to be credited to the purchasers as a result of such combined purchases will be credited on a pro rata basis. If the Subscription Agreements for the purchases to be combined are not submitted at the same time, then any additional Shares to be credited as a result of such combined purchases will be credited to the last component purchase, unless the Company is otherwise directed in writing at the time of such submission; except however, the additional Shares to be credited to any Tax-Exempt Entities whose purchases are combined for purposes of the volume discount will be credited only on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the investment of each Tax-Exempt Entity and their combined purchases. Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, in no event shall any investor receive a discount greater than 5% on any purchase of Shares if such investor already owns, or may be deemed to already own, any Shares. This restriction may limit the amount of the volume discount available to a purchaser after the purchaser's initial purchase and the amount of additional Shares that may be credited to a purchaser as a result of the combination of purchases. In the event the dollar amount of commissions paid for such combined purchases exceeds the maximum commissions for such combined purchases (taking the volume discount into effect), you will be obligated to forthwith return to the Company any excess commissions received. The Company may adjust any future commissions due to you for any such excess commissions that have not been returned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that no commission shall be payable with respect to particular Shares if the Company rejects a proposed subscriber's Subscription Agreement, which it may do for any reason or for no reason, as set forth in the form of Subscription Agreement. In addition, no selling commission, Marketing Contribution or Due Diligence Expense Allowance shall be payable in connection with the sale of Shares directly by the Company, in connection with the performance of services, to employees and associates of the Company and its Affiliates, the Advisor, Affiliates of the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their respective officers and employees and certain of their affiliates who request and are entitled to such discount. All selling commissions payable to you will be paid on a weekly basis, substantially concurrently with the acceptance of a subscriber as a Stockholder by the Company, in an amount equal to the selling commissions payable with respect to such Shares; provided however, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change the frequency of the payment of such commissions to a monthly basis. Certain other Special Sales shall be effected directly by the Company and not pursuant to this Agreement, and no selling commission shall be payable in connection with such Special Sales, including sales to one or more Soliciting Dealers and their respective officers and employees and certain of their respective affiliates who request and are entitled to purchase Shares net of selling commissions. Furthermore, no selling commission shall be payable on the Shares credited to an investor as a result of a volume discount or on sales of Shares to certain investors whose contracts for investment advisory and related brokerage services include a fixed or "wrap" fee feature. The term "Special Sales" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Prospectus. The Marketing Contribution and Due Diligence Expense Allowance will, however, be allowed and paid with respect to those sales which are "Special Sales" solely by virtue of (a) the presence of a contract for investment advisory and related brokerage services with the proposed investor/subscriber which includes a fixed or "wrap" fee feature, (b) being sales to the Soliciting Dealers and their respective officers and employees and certain of their respective affiliates who request and are entitled to purchase Shares net of selling commissions, and (c) being sales of Shares which are entitled to a volume discount, including the Shares credited to an investor as a result of a volume discount. Any subsequent purchases of Shares by investors who initially purchased Shares net of the 7.5% selling commission are limited to a maximum discount of 5% of the public offering price per Share. Certain subscribers to the Company's Shares may agree with their participating Soliciting Dealer and the Dealer Manager to have selling commissions due with respect to the purchase of their Shares paid over a period of up to six years pursuant to a deferred commission option arrangement (the "Deferred Commission Option"), as more fully explained, and subject to the conditions set forth, under the section "Plan of Distribution--Deferred Commission Option" in the Company's Prospectus, which section is incorporated by reference herein. Stockholders electing the Deferred Commission Option will be required to pay a total of $9.40 per Share purchased upon subscription, rather than $10.00 per Share, with respect to which $0.15 0.10 per Share will be payable by the Company to the Dealer Manager as selling commissions due upon subscription, of which $0.10 per share may be reallowed to the participating Soliciting Dealer by the Dealer Manager. For each of the six years following such subscription on a date or dates to be determined by the Dealer Manager, $0.10 per Share will be paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager as deferred selling commissions with respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Deferred Commission Option, which amounts will be deducted from and paid out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholders holding such Shares, and may be reallowed to the participating Soliciting Dealer by the Dealer Manager. The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by the election of the Deferred Commission Option. Under this arrangement and based on a $10.00 per Share deemed value for each Share issued, a stockholder electing the Deferred Commission Option will pay a 1.51% selling commission, of which 1% will be reallowed, commission upon subscription, rather than a 7.5% selling commission, of which 7% will be reallowed, and an amount equal to up to a 11.08% selling commission per year thereafter for up to the next six years which will be deducted from and paid by the Company out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholder. As in any volume discount situation, selling commissions are not paid on any Shares issued for a volume discount. Therefore, when the deferred commission option is used, no deductions will be made for deferred commission obligations from cash distributions payable on the Shares issued for a volume discount, because there will not be any deferred commission obligation as to those particular Shares. The number of Shares issued, if any, for a volume discount, will be determined as described above in Section 2.4 2(d)(i) of the Agreement. At such time, if any, that the Company's Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on a national market system, or such listing or inclusion is reasonably anticipated to occur at any time prior to the satisfaction of the remaining deferred commission obligations, the Company shall accelerate all outstanding payment obligations under the Deferred Commission Option. The amount of the remaining selling commissions due shall be deducted and paid by the Company out of cash distributions otherwise payable to such Stockholders during the time period prior to any such listing of the Shares for trading on a national securities exchange or inclusion for quotation on a national market system; provided that, in no event may the Company withhold in excess of $.60 .65 per Share in the aggregate during the six-year period following the subscription. The maximum amount that may be withheld and the maximum number of years for which selling commissions may be deferred will be lower when the volume discount provisions are also applicable and less than 66.5% of the selling commissions are deferred. To the extent that the cash distributions during such time period are insufficient to satisfy the remaining deferred selling commissions due, the obligations of the Company and the Company's Stockholders to make any further payments of deferred selling commissions under the Deferred Commission Option shall terminate and the Dealer Manager (and participating Soliciting Dealers if the deferred selling commissions are reallowed to them by the Dealer Manager) will not be entitled to receive any further portion of the unpaid deferred selling commissions following any such listing for trading or inclusion for quotation of the Shares.
