The Dealer Manager and the Dealers will suspend or terminate offering the Shares upon request of the Company at any time and will resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company.
c. Suitability. The Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, shall require that each Dealer offer Shares only to persons who meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and only make offers to persons in the states in which it is advised in writing that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required. In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, will require that each Dealer comply, with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including, without limitation, applicable FINRA rules and the provisions of Article III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc., effective May 7, 2007, as amended (the “NASAA REIT Guidelines”).
d. Offering Price. The Dealer Manager and all Dealers will offer and sell the Shares for cash at the offering price set forth in the Prospectus, subject to volume discounts and other discounts for Shares described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus and except as otherwise provided in the DRP.
e. Commissions, Fees, and Expense Reimbursements. Subject to volume discounts and other discounts for Shares and special circumstances described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Dealer Manager will be paid (i) with respect to the Class A Shares, a selling commission in the amount of six percent (6.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold in the Primary Offering, plus a dealer manager fee in the amount of three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold in the Primary Offering, (ii) with respect to the Class T Shares, a selling commission in the amount of three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering, plus a dealer manager fee equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering and (iii) with respect to the Class I Shares, a dealer manager fee equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Class I Shares. No selling commission will be paid for sales of any Class I Shares. With respect to the Class A Shares, the Sponsor shall pay a portion of the selling commission payable to the Dealer Manager in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold in the Primary Offering and the dealer manager fee payable to the Dealer Manager in an amount equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold in the Primary Offering. The Company shall, subject to the volume discounts and other discounts for Class A Shares and special circumstances described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, pay the balance of the selling commission in an amount equal to up to three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class A Shares sold in the Primary Offering. If the total selling commission payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to a sale of Class A Shares is equal to or less than one percent (1.0%), due to volume or other discounts described in Section 5(f) of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall pay the entire selling commission payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to such sale. With respect to the Class T Shares, the Sponsor shall pay a portion of the selling commission payable to the Dealer Manager in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering and the dealer manager fee payable to the Dealer Manager in an amount equal to three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering. The Company shall, subject to the volume discounts and other discounts for Class T Shares and special circumstances described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, pay the balance of the selling commission in an amount equal to up to two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Class T Shares sold in the Primary Offering. If the total selling commission payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to a sale of Class T Shares is equal to or less than one percent (1.0%), due to volume or other discounts described in Section 5(f) of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall pay the entire selling commission payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to such sale. With respect to the Class I Shares, the Sponsor shall pay the dealer manager fee in an amount equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Class I Shares sold in the Primary Offering.
In addition, with respect to each Class T Share, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a distribution fee (the “Distribution Fee”), which accrues daily and is calculated on outstanding Class T Shares issued in the Primary Offering in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) per annum of (i) the current gross offering price per Class T Share in the Primary Offering, or (ii) if the Company is no longer offering primary shares in a public offering, the most recently published per
6
share NAV of Class T Shares, if any has been disclosed. In the event the offering price or the most recently published per share NAV of Class T Shares changes, the Distribution Fee will change immediately with respect to all outstanding Class T Shares, and will be calculated based on the new gross offering price or per share NAV, without regard to the actual price at which a particular Class T Share was issued. The Company will pay the Distribution Fee to the Dealer Manager monthly in arrears on a continuous basis from year to year. The Dealer Manager will cease receiving Distribution Fees with respect to each Class T Share, including any Class T Shares issued pursuant to the DRP, upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) a listing of the Company’s common shares on a national securities exchange, (ii) such Class T Share no longer being outstanding, (iii) the Dealer Manager’s determination that total underwriting compensation from all sources, including dealer manager fees, selling commissions, Distribution Fees and any other amounts paid to participating Dealers that would be deemed underwriting compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310, with respect to all Class A Shares, Class T Shares and Class I Shares would be in excess of 10% of the gross proceeds of the primary portion of the Offering; or (iv) the end of the month in which total underwriting compensation, including dealer manager fees, sales commissions, and Distribution Fees with respect to the Class T Shares held by a stockholder within his or her particular account would be in excess of 10% of the total gross investment amount at the time of purchase of the primary Class T Shares held in such account.
The Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, reallow or advance all or a portion of the selling commissions, the dealer manager fees and the Distribution Fee to the Dealers who sold the Shares giving rise to such commissions and fees to the extent the Selected Dealer Agreement with such Dealer provides for such a reallowance; provided, however, that upon the date when the Dealer Manager is notified that the Dealer who sold the Class T Shares giving rise to the Distribution Fees is no longer the broker dealer of record with respect to such Class T Shares, then such Dealer’s entitlement to the Distribution Fees related to such Class T Shares shall cease, and the Dealer shall not receive the Distribution Fees for any portion of the month in which the Dealer is not the broker dealer of record on the last day of the month; provided, however, if the change in the broker dealer of record with respect to such Class T Shares is made in connection with a change in the registration of record for such Class T Shares on the Company’s books and records (including, but not limited to, a re-registration due to a sale or a transfer or a change in the form of ownership of the account), then the Dealer shall be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Distribution Fees related to such Class T Shares for the portion of the month for which the Dealer was the broker dealer of record. Thereafter, such Distribution Fees may be reallowed by the Dealer Manager in its sole discretion to the then-current broker dealer of record of the Class T Shares if any such broker dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Broker Dealer”); provided, that, such reallowance shall only be paid to the extent such Servicing Broker Dealer has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with the Dealer Manager (the “Servicing Agreement”) and such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement with the Servicing Broker Dealer provides for such reallowance. The Dealer Manager may pay to such Dealers and Servicing Broker Dealers up to 100% of the aggregate Distribution Fees payable by the Company to the Dealer Manager. The Company will not pay the Dealer Manager a Distribution Fee with respect to Class A Shares or Class I Shares.
The Company shall directly pay or reimburse the Dealer Manager as provided in the Prospectus for certain reasonable costs and expenses incident to the Offering if, when added to all of the other underwriting compensation being paid in connection with the Offering, such expenses would not cause total underwriting compensation to exceed 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the Primary Offering as of the termination of the Offering, as required by the rules of FINRA. These expenses may include, without limitation, reasonable travel and lodging expenses related to wholesaling activities, legal expenses, salaries and bonuses of certain employees of the Dealer Manager while participating in this offering and permissible forms of non-cash compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 2310(c) paid to the Dealer Manager’s registered representatives. Any expenses reimbursed pursuant to this Section 5(e) will be reimbursed to the Dealer Manager within thirty (30) days of the Dealer Manager’s presentation of a detailed and itemized invoice or receipt or such other documentation as the Company may deem acceptable for such expenses to the Company.
The terms of any reallowance of selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and Distribution Fees shall be set forth in the Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement entered into with the Dealers or Servicing Broker Dealers, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no selling commissions, Distribution Fees, or amounts whatsoever will be paid to the Dealer Manager under this Section 5(e) unless or until completion of the Minimum Offering. Until the Minimum Offering is reached, proceeds from the sale of Shares will be held in escrow and, if the Minimum Offering is not reached, will be returned to the investors in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus. Further, no selling commissions, Distribution Fees, dealer manager fees, or other amounts will be paid to the Dealer Manager under this provision unless or until subscriptions for the purchase of Shares have been accepted by the Company. The Company and the Sponsor will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer or Servicing Broker Dealer for direct payment of selling commissions, Distribution Fees or any reallowance of the dealer manager fees to such Dealer or Servicing Broker Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment
7
of selling commissions, Distribution Fees or any reallowance of the dealer manager fees and to Dealers and Servicing Broker Dealers. The Dealer Manager shall not be obligated to pay selling commissions, Distribution Fees or any reallowance of the dealer manager fees to Dealers and Servicing Broker Dealers until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of such amounts from the Company or the Sponsor, as applicable.
f. Volume and Other Discounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Class I Shares may be sold to (i) officers, including executive officers and directors of the Company and their immediate family members, (ii) officers and employees of the Sponsor, the Company’s advisor or other affiliates and their immediate family members, and (iii) investors identified by the Company as described in the Prospectus, including investors who have a prior business relationship with the Sponsor, such as real estate brokers, joint venture partners and their employees, company executives, surveyors, attorneys and similar individuals, and others to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, at the then current offering price per Class I Share net of dealer manager fees, as provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus. In addition, as provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, Dealers, including their retirement plans, their representatives and their immediate family members, IRAs and qualified plans of their representatives, may purchase Class I Shares at a price net of the selling commissions otherwise payable with respect to such Shares. In addition, volume discounts will be available to investors who purchase in a single transaction more than (i) $500,000 of Class A Shares, or (ii) $1,000,000 of Class T Shares, in the primary offering, which will reduce the selling commission and purchase price per Share, pursuant to the volume discount table and related terms set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus.
g. Permissible Materials. The Dealer Manager shall use and distribute in conjunction with the offer and sale of any Shares only the Prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time-to-time) and Authorized Sales Materials.
h. Offering Jurisdictions. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall cause Shares to be offered and sold only in such jurisdictions where the Dealer Manager and the respective Dealer are licensed to do so. In addition, the Dealer Manager shall cause Shares to be offered and sold only in those jurisdictions specified in writing by the Company where the offering and sale of its Shares have been authorized by appropriate regulatory authorities and such list of jurisdictions shall be updated by the Company as additional states are added.
i. Escrow Agreement. The Dealer Manager agrees to be bound by the terms of the Escrow Agreement executed as of [ ], 2016, by UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent, the Dealer Manager and the Company.
j. Submission of Orders. The Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, shall require each Dealer to:

k. Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the selling commissions and dealer manager fees specified in Section 5(e) of this Agreement for the sale of any Shares shall be payable in cash by the Company no later than seven (7) days after the investor subscribing for the Shares is admitted as a stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Company pays any selling commissions or fees to the Dealer Manager for a sale of one or more Shares and the subscription is subsequently 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 Dealer Manager by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the selling commissions or fees paid to the Dealer Manager for the sale of the Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no payment of selling commissions or other compensation is due to the Dealer Manager after such rescinded subscription occurs, the Dealer Manager shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within seven (7) days following receipt of notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no selling commissions, dealer manager fees, Distribution Fees or amounts whatsoever will be paid to the Dealer Manager pursuant to this Agreement unless or until the Minimum Offering has been reached and funds held in escrow have been released. If the Minimum Offering is not reached within the time period specified in the Escrow Agreement, investments will be promptly returned to investors in accordance with the Prospectus.
6. | Issuance of Confirmations to Purchasers. |
The Company hereby agrees and assumes the duty to confirm on its behalf and on behalf of Dealers who sell the Shares all orders for purchase of Shares accepted by the Company. Such confirmations will comply with the rules of the SEC and FINRA, and will comply with applicable laws of such other jurisdictions to the extent the Company is advised of such laws in writing by the Dealer Manager.
7. | Indemnification. |
a. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager, its officers, directors, owners, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants, and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Dealer Manager Indemnified Persons”) and each Dealer, its officers, directors, owners, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants, and each person, if any, who controls such Dealer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Dealer Indemnified Persons” and, together with the Dealer Manager Indemnified Persons, the “Broker Dealer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Broker Dealer Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (a) a breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement; (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iv) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Shares for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”); (c) the omission or alleged omission to state in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iv) any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (d) any verbal or written representation made by the Company, its representatives or agents in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities law. The Company shall reimburse each Broker Dealer Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Broker Dealer Indemnified Person in connection
9
with investigating or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable: (x) to any Dealer Manager Indemnified Person in any such case (1) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereof, the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application or (2) it is determined that the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action results directly and primarily from the willful misconduct, fraudulent act or gross negligence of the Dealer Manager; or (y) to any Dealer Indemnified Person in any such case (1) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Dealer specifically for use with reference to such Dealer in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereof, the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application or (2) it is determined that the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability or action results from the willful misconduct, fraudulent act or gross negligence of the Dealer. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not indemnify or hold harmless the Dealer Manager, any Dealer or any of their affiliates in any manner that would be inconsistent with the provisions to Article II.G of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. In particular, but without limitation, the Company may not indemnify or hold harmless the Dealer Manager, any Dealer or any of their affiliates for liabilities arising from or out of a violation of state or Federal securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met:
(i) There has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations;
(ii) Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction; or
(iii) A court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
b. The Dealer Manager shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each officer and director of the Company, the Company’s employees, agents, attorneys and accountants, and each person or firm which has signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Persons”), from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which any of the Company Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (a) a breach or alleged breach by the Dealer Manager of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement; (b) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iv) any Blue Sky Application, or (c) the omission to state in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iv) any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, in each such case under clauses (b) or (c) hereof to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereof, the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application and shall reimburse each Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Dealer Manager be required or obliged to contribute or provide indemnification in excess of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in the Offering that have been actually received and retained by the Dealer Manager.
10
c. Each Dealer severally shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Sponsor and each of their respective directors (including any persons named in the Registration Statement with his consent, as about to become a director), each of their respective officers who has signed the Registration Statement, each of their respective managers, members, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants, and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Dealer Manager, or the Sponsor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Sponsor Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which the Sponsor Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (a) a breach or alleged breach by the Dealer of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in the Selected Dealer Agreement, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iv) any Blue Sky Application, or (c) the omission to state in (i) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus as a part thereof) or any post-effective amendment thereto, (ii) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, (iii) any Authorized Sales Materials or (iv) any Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, in each such case under clauses (b) or (c) hereof to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of such Dealer specifically for use with reference to such Dealer in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereof, the Prospectus or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any Authorized Sales Materials or any such Blue Sky Application, or (c) any failure to deliver to any investor the Prospectus and all supplements thereto and any amended prospectus, or (d) any use by the Dealer its employees, representatives or agents of sales materials in connection with the Offering other than Authorized Sales Materials, (e) any verbal or written representation made by the Dealer, its employees, representatives or agents in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable federal or state securities law, (f) any sale in violation of or failure by Dealer to perform its obligations as set forth in Section IX of the Selected Dealer Agreement, or (g) any failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA, federal or state securities laws or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the NASAA REIT Guidelines, or any other state or federal laws and regulations applicable to the Offering or the activities of the Dealer in connection with the Offering, and will reimburse each Sponsor Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Sponsor Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Dealer may otherwise have.
d. Promptly after receipt by a person to whom the rights to indemnification provided for in Sections 7(a), (b) and (c) of this Agreement would by their terms be available (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and each, an “Indemnified Party”) under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company, the Dealer Manager or the Dealers, to the extent any of them is an indemnifying party with respect to an Indemnified Party (each to such extent, an “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 7, notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will relieve it from liability under this Section 7 only in the event and to the extent the failure to provide such notice actually and materially and adversely affects the ability to defend such action. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 7) incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the Indemnifying Party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party and shall not be required to contribute or provide indemnification on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such Indemnifying Party; provided, that, if an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel pursuant to Section 7(e), any such Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent if (1) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request, (2) such Indemnifying Party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (3) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.
11
e. The Indemnifying Party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm (as well as local counsel) in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one Indemnified Party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm (as well as local counsel) that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the Indemnifying Party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an Indemnified Party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
f. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 7 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
g. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 7 is applicable in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable from the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties will contribute to the total losses, claims, liabilities, expenses and damages (including any investigative, legal and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by any Indemnified Party from persons other than the Indemnifying Parties, such as persons who control the Indemnified Party within the meaning of the Securities Act and officers and directors of the Indemnified Party, who also may be liable for contribution) to which the Indemnifying Parties may be subject in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties on the other hand. The relative benefits received by the Indemnified Parties on the one hand and the Indemnifying Parties on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Shares (before deducting expenses) that have been actually received and retained by such parties. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but also the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Parties, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, liability, expense or damage, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations with respect to such offering. Such relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnified Parties or the Indemnifying Parties, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(g) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(g) shall be deemed to include, for the purpose of this Section 7(g), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim to the extent consistent with this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(g), the Dealer Manager shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in the Offering that have been actually received and retained by the Dealer Manager pursuant to this Agreement and no person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to
12
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7(g), any person who controls a party to this Agreement within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any respective officers, directors, owners, managers, members, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants of a party to this Agreement, will have the same rights to contribution as that party, subject in each case to the provisions hereof. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made under this Section 7(g), will notify any such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify will not relieve that party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have under this Section 7(g) except to the extent that the failure to so notify such other party actually and materially prejudiced the substantive rights or defenses of the party from whom contribution is sought. Except for a settlement entered into pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7(d) or Section 7(f) hereof, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to any action or claim settled without its written consent if such consent is required pursuant to Section 7(d) or Section 7(f) hereof.
h. The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (1) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Dealer, or any person controlling any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of any person controlling the Company or the Dealer Manager, (2) delivery of any Shares and payment therefor, and (3) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of any Dealer or of any of the parties to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 7.
8. | Survival of Provisions. |
The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any termination of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company or any person controlling the Company, and (c) the acceptance of any payment for the Shares.
9. | Applicable Law; Venue. |
This Agreement was executed and delivered in, and its validity, interpretation and construction shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York; provided, however, that causes of action for violations of Federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section. Venue for any action brought hereunder shall lie exclusively in New York, New York.
10. | Severability. |
If any portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be considered valid and operative and effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative.
13
11. | Delay Not a Waiver. |
Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to this Agreement to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any subsequent occurrence.
12. | Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
13. | Third-Party Beneficiaries; Successors; and Amendment. |
a. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager, the Company and the Sponsor and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person any right, remedy or claim, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Dealers to the extent set forth in Section 7 hereof.
b. | This Agreement may be amended by the written agreement of the Dealer Manager, the Sponsor and the Company. |
14. | Term and Termination. |
In any case, if not sooner terminated, this Agreement shall expire at the close of business on the effective date that the Offering is terminated. This Agreement may be terminated by either party (a) immediately upon notice to the other party in the event that the other party shall have materially failed to comply with any material provision of this Agreement or if any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such party contained herein shall not have been materially complied with and such failure to comply is not cured within ten (10) days after the date of such occurrence or (b) on 60 days’ written notice. In any event, this Agreement shall be deemed suspended during any period for which the Dealer Manager’s license or registration to act as a broker dealer shall be revoked or suspended by any federal, self-regulatory or state agency.
In addition, the Dealer Manager, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall (a) promptly deposit any and all funds in its possession which were received from investors for the sale of Shares into the appropriate escrow account or, if the Minimum Offering has been reached, into such other account as the Company may designate; and (b) promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession which relate to the Offering which are not designated as dealer copies. The Dealer Manager, at its sole expense, may make and retain copies of all such records and documents required to be retained by the Dealer Manager pursuant to (i) Federal and state securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) the applicable rules of FINRA and (iii) the NASAA REIT Guidelines, but shall keep all such information confidential; provided, that, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Dealer Manager from disclosing any such information to any regulatory authority asserting jurisdiction over the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Company to accomplish any orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Company. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all earned but unpaid compensation and reimbursement for all incurred, accountable compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 5 of this Agreement, including but not limited to any Distribution Fees, pursuant to the requirements of that Section 5 at such times as such amounts become payable pursuant to the terms of such Section 5 without acceleration; provided, however, that if the Minimum Offering is not reached prior to such expiration or termination, the Company shall not pay any such compensation and reimbursements to the Dealer Manager.
15. | Definitions. |
Any terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Prospectus.
