DUTIES OF DEALER a. Dealer agrees to purchase Shares only from Distributor or from Dealer's customers. b. Dealer agrees to enter orders for the purchase of Shares only from Distributor and only for the purpose of covering purchase orders Dealer has already received from its customers or for Dealer's own bona fide investment. c. Dealer agrees to date and time stamp all orders received by Dealer and promptly, upon receipt of any and all orders, to transmit to Distributor all orders received prior to the time described in the Prospectus for the calculation of each Fund's net asset value so as to permit Distributor to process all orders at the price next determined after receipt by Dealer, in accordance with the Prospectus. Dealer agrees not to withhold placing orders for Shares with Distributor so as to profit itself as a result of such inaction. d. Dealer agrees to maintain records of all purchases and sales of Shares made through Dealer and to furnish Distributor or regulatory authorities with copies of such records upon request. In that regard, Dealer agrees that, unless Dealer holds Shares as nominee for its customers or participates in the NSCC Fund/Serv Networking program, at certain matrix levels, it will provide Distributor with all necessary information to comply properly with all federal, state and local reporting requirements and backup and nonresident alien withholding requirements for its customer accounts including, without limitation, those requirements that apply by treating Shares issued by the Funds as readily tradable instruments. Dealer represents and agrees that all Taxpayer Identification Numbers ("TINs") provided are certified, and that no account that requires a certified TIN will be established without such certified TIN. With respect to all other accounts, including Shares held by Dealer in omnibus accounts and Shares purchased or sold through the NSCC Fund/Serv Networking program, at certain matrix levels, Dealer agrees to perform all federal, state and local tax reporting with respect to such accounts, including without limitation redemptions and exchanges. e. Dealer agrees to distribute or cause to be delivered to its customers Prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials and related information and proxy cards, semi-annual and annual shareholder reports and any other materials in compliance with applicable legal requirements, except to the extent that Distributor expressly undertakes to do so in writing. f. Dealer agrees that if any Share is repurchased by any Fund or is tendered for redemption within seven (7) business days after confirmation by Distributor of the original purchase order from Dealer, Dealer shall forfeit its right to any concession or commission received by Dealer with respect to such Share and shall forthwith refund to Distributor the full concession allowed to Dealer or commission paid to Dealer on the original sale. Distributor agrees to notify Dealer of such repurchase or redemption within a reasonable time after settlement. Termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall not relieve Dealer from its obligation under this provision. g. Dealer agrees that payment for Shares ordered from Distributor shall be in Fed Funds, New York clearinghouse or other immediately available funds and that such funds shall be received by Distributor by the earlier of: (i) the end of the third (3rd) business day following Dealer's receipt of the customer's order to purchase such Shares; or (ii) the settlement date established in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If such payment is not received by Distributor by such date, Dealer shall forfeit its right to any concession or commission with respect to such order, and Distributor reserves the right, without notice, forthwith to cancel the sale, or, at its option, to sell the Shares ordered back to the Fund, in which case Distributor may hold Dealer responsible for any loss, including loss of profit, suffered by Distributor resulting from Dealer's failure to make payment as aforesaid. If a purchase is made by check, the purchase is deemed made upon conversion of the purchase instrument into Fed Funds, New York clearinghouse or other immediately available funds. h. Dealer agrees that it: (i) shall assume responsibility for any loss to the Fund caused by a correction to any order placed by Dealer that is made subsequent to the trade date for the order, provided such order correction was not based on any negligence on Distributor's part; and (ii) will immediately pay such loss to the Fund upon notification. i. Dealer agrees that in connection with orders for the purchase of Shares on behalf of any IRAs, 401(k) plans or other retirement plan accounts, by mail, telephone, or wire, Dealer shall act as agent for the custodian or trustee of such plans (solely with respect to the time of receipt of the application and payments), and Dealer shall not place such an order with Distributor until it has received from its customer payment for such purchase and, if such purchase represents the first contribution to such a retirement plan account, the completed documents necessary to establish the retirement plan. Dealer agrees to indemnify Distributor and its affiliates for any claim, loss, or liability resulting from incorrect investment instructions received by Distributor from Dealer. j. Dealer agrees that it will not make any conditional orders for the purchase or redemption of Shares and acknowledges that Distributor will not accept conditional orders for Shares. k. Dealer agrees that all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement will be borne by Dealer. l. Dealer agrees that it will keep in force appropriate broker's blanket bond insurance policies covering any and all acts of Dealer's partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents adequate to reasonably protect and indemnify the Distributor and the Funds against any loss which any party may suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action by Dealer or Dealer's partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents. m. Dealer agrees that it will maintain the required net capital as specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC, NASD and other regulatory authorities.

(“FINRA”). The Dealer Manager may also sell Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the public offering price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares on said terms and conditions. The Dealer Manager represents to the Company that (i) it is a member of FINRA; (ii) it and its employees and representatives have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Agreement; and (iii) it has established and implemented anti-money laundering compliance programs in accordance with applicable law, including applicable FINRA rules, SEC rules, and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, reasonably designed to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Shares of the Company. 3.2. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall commence the offering of the Shares for cash to the public only in jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified for sale or in which such offering is otherwise permitted. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers will suspend or terminate offering of the Shares upon request of the Company at any time and will resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company. 3.3. Except as provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold and 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold, plus a dealer manager fee in the amount of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold to the public; provided, however, that there shall be no selling commissions and no dealer manager fees paid for sales of Shares under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a monthly distribution and stockholder servicing fee that will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 0.8% of the Company’s per share NAV of Class T Shares sold, excluding Class T Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will cease paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T Shares sold in the Offering at the earliest of (i) the end of the month in which the transfer agent, on behalf of the Company, determines that total selling commissions and distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid by a stockholder within his or her individual account would be equal to 7.0% of the stockholder’s total gross investment amount at the time of the purchase of the primary Class T shares held in such account; (ii) the date on which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares, excluding Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan; (iii) the fifth anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Offering (excluding the offering of shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; (iv) the date such Class T share is no longer outstanding; and (v) the date the Company effects a liquidity event. The distribution and stockholder servicing fee relates to the share or shares sold. Payments to the Dealer Manager shall be made by the end of the week following the week in which Shares are sold by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Dealer Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager will reallow all of the selling commissions to Dealers. The Dealer Manager also may reallow all or a portion of the dealer manager fee and the distribution and stockholder servicing fee to Dealers; provided, however, that with respect to any individual investment, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the related distribution and stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer if such Dealer ceases to hold the account related to such investment. In addition, the Dealer Manager will not reallow the distribution and stockholder servicing fee to any Dealer if such Dealer has not executed a Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager or if the Dealer’s previously executed Selected Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager is terminated. In any instance in which the Dealer Manager does not re-allow the distribution and stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer, the Dealer Manager will return such fee to the Company. If, for any reason, a sale is cancelled or rescinded, the Dealer Manager shall return to the Company the selling commission, the dealer manager fee and the distribution and stockholder servicing fee paid to it with respect to such sale. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of commissions to such Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager to make payment of commissions to Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, at its discretion, the Company may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions to such Dealers without incurring any liability therefore. 3.4. The Dealer Manager shall use and distribute, in conjunction with the offer and sale of any Shares, only the Prospectus and such sales literature and advertising as shall have been previously approved in writing by the Company. 3.5. The Dealer Manager acknowledges that the Company may reimburse its advisor for underwriting expenses not covered by the selling commissions, dealer manager fee and distribution and stockholder servicing fee set forth in Section 3.3, but only to the extent that the total of such reimbursements for underwriting expenses and the selling commissions, dealer manager fee and distribution and stockholder servicing fee set forth in Section 3.3 is no more than 10.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Shares sold in the Offering, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan. In no event will total underwriting compensation exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold in the Offering, excluding proceeds from the distribution reinvestment plan.
