(the “Dealer Manager”), Xxxxx Advisors Limited Partnership (the “Advisor”) and Ameriprise whereby Ameriprise will offer and sell on a best efforts basis for the account of the Company shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share (each a “Share,” and collectively, the “Shares”), of the Company registered pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 2(a) below) at the per share price set forth in the Registration Statement from time to time (subject to certain volume discounts and the other terms set forth therein) (the “Offering”), pursuant to which shares are also being offered pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”). The Shares are more fully described in the Registration Statement referred to below.

Ameriprise is hereby invited to act as a Selected Dealer for the Offering, subject to the other terms and conditions set forth below.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Advisor.

The Company, the Dealer Manager and the Advisor (the “Xxxxx Entities”), as applicable, jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant with Ameriprise for Ameriprise’s benefit that, as of the date hereof and at all times during the term of this Agreement:

(a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an effective registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-130114) for the registration of up to $2,200,000,000 in Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”). The registration statement, as amended (including financial statements, exhibits and all other documents related thereto filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein), are herein called the “Registration Statement” and the prospectus contained therein is called the “Prospectus” and if the Registration Statement is amended by a post-effective amendment, the term “Registration Statement” shall, from and after the declaration of effectiveness of such post-effective amendment, refer to the Registration Statement as so amended and the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus as so amended, and if any Prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Regulations shall differ from the Prospectus on file at the time any post-effective amendment shall become effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus filed pursuant to either of such Rules from and after the date on which it shall have been filed with the Commission. Further, if a separate prospectus is filed and becomes effective with respect solely

to the DRIP, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such prospectus from and after the declaration of effectiveness of the same, as such prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

(b) Compliance with the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been prepared and filed by the Company and has been declared effective by the Commission. Neither the Commission nor any state securities authority has issued any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus filed with the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted, or to the Company’s knowledge, are threatened or contemplated by the Commission or by the states securities authorities. At the time the Registration Statement became effective (the “Effective Date”) and at the time that any post-effective amendments thereto or any additional registration statement filed under Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act becomes effective, the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (1) complied, or will comply, as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Regulations and (2) did not or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. When the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Regulations and at all times subsequent thereto through the date on which the Offering is terminated (“Termination Date”), the Prospectus will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Regulations, and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state 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. Any Prospectus delivered to Ameriprise will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(c) The Company. The Company has been duly incorporated and validly exists as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland with full power and authority to conduct the business in which it is engaged as described in the Prospectus, including without limitation to acquire properties as more fully described in the Prospectus, including land and buildings, as well as properties upon which properties are to be constructed for the Company or to be owned by the Company (the “Properties”) or make loans, or other permitted investments as referred to in the Prospectus. The Company and each subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property of a nature, or transacts business of a type that would make such qualification necessary except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (as such term is defined in the next sentence). The term “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the financial condition, stockholders’ equity, results of operation, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(d) The Shares. The Shares, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus; no holder thereof will be subject to personal liability for the obligations of the Company solely by reason of being such a holder; such Shares are not subject to the preemptive rights of any shareholder of the Company; and all corporate action required to be taken for the authorization, issuance and sale of such Shares has been validly and sufficiently taken.

Persons desiring to purchase Shares are required to (i) deliver to Ameriprise a check in the amount of $10.40 per Share purchased (subject to certain volume discounts or other discounts as described in the Prospectus, or such other per share price as may be applicable pursuant to the Offering) payable to Ameriprise, or (ii) authorize a debit of such amount to the account such purchaser maintains with Ameriprise. A subscription agreement in substantially the form attached to the Prospectus (each a “Subscription Agreement”) must be completed and submitted to the Company for all investors and for all Orders. On a daily basis, Ameriprise will transfer, via Federal Reserve bank wire, the total amount debited from investor accounts for the purchase of Shares along with a list (in the form of an Order File data transmission) including the name, address and telephone number of, the social security number or taxpayer identification number of, the brokerage account number of (if applicable), the number of Shares purchased by, any election to participate in the DRIP by, and the total dollar amount of investment by, each investor on whose behalf checks are submitted or the wire transfer is made. Ameriprise also will forward all Subscription Agreements received (and determined to be in good order) by Ameriprise to the Company’s transfer agent by overnight mail within three business days after the associated funds are delivered as contemplated in the preceding sentence. Ameriprise will advise the Company whether the funds Ameriprise is submitting are attributable to individual retirement accounts, Xxxxx plans, or any other employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or from some other type of investor. The parties acknowledge that any receipt by Ameriprise of payments for subscriptions for Shares shall be effected solely as an administrative convenience, and such receipt of payments shall not be deemed to constitute acceptance of orders to purchase Shares or sales of Shares by the Company.

All Orders solicited by Ameriprise will be strictly subject to review and acceptance by the Company and the Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to reject any Order or to accept or reject Orders in the order of their receipt by the Company or otherwise. Within 30 days of receipt of an Order, the Company must accept or reject such Order. If the Company elects to reject such Order, within 10 business days after such rejection, it will notify the purchaser of such fact and cause the return of such purchaser’s funds submitted with such application. If Ameriprise receives no notice of rejection within the foregoing time limits, the Order shall be deemed accepted. Ameriprise agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to determine that the purchase of Shares is a suitable and appropriate investment for each potential purchaser of Shares based on information provided by such purchaser regarding such purchaser’s financial situation and investment objectives.

(b) Closing Dates and Delivery of Shares. In no event shall a sale of Shares to an investor be completed until at least five business days after the date the investor receives a copy of the Prospectus. Orders shall be submitted as contemplated by Section 12 of the Dealer Manager Agreement and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Shares shall be deemed issued on the day the Company accepts an order. Share issuance dates for purchases made pursuant to the DRIP will be as set forth in the DRIP.

(c) Dealers. The Shares offered and sold under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by Ameriprise, a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”). The Xxxxx Entities and affiliates thereof agree to participate in Ameriprise’s marketing efforts to the extent that Ameriprise may reasonably request and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agree to visit Ameriprise’s offices as Ameriprise may reasonably request.

(d) Compensation.

(i) In consideration for Ameriprise’s execution of this Agreement, and for the performance of Ameriprise’s obligations hereunder, and except for volume discounts and other discounts described, or otherwise provided for, in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager agrees to pay Ameriprise selling commissions (“Selling Commissions”) applicable to the Shares sold by Ameriprise hereunder (excluding any Shares issued pursuant to the DRIP) of seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds of Shares sold by Ameriprise and accepted and confirmed by the Company. For these purposes, Shares shall be deemed to be “sold” if and only if a transaction has closed with a subscriber for Shares pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents associated with the Order, the Company has accepted the Order and the Subscription Agreement of such subscriber, such Shares have been fully paid for and all other provisions of this Agreement have been met regarding such Order (including Section 3(b)). Ameriprise hereby affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for Selling Commissions payable to Ameriprise hereunder is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable from the Company pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and Ameriprise hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of Selling Commissions due from the Dealer Manager until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the corresponding commissions from the Company. In the event that the Dealer Manager for any reason fails to pay Selling Commissions due to Ameriprise for the sale of Shares by Ameriprise hereunder (even if commissions with respect to such sales were not were not received by the Dealer Manager), the Company hereby guarantees the obligations of the Dealer Manager to pay Selling Commissions to Ameriprise for the sale of Shares by Ameriprise hereunder. In addition, the Dealer Manager will also reallow out of its dealer manager fee and pay to Ameriprise a marketing fee of one and one half percent (1.5%) of the gross proceeds of Shares sold by Ameriprise (excluding any Shares issued pursuant to the DRIP) as a marketing fee (the “Marketing Fee”), to defray certain distribution-related costs and expenses of Ameriprise in connection with the Offering, provided that Ameriprise has executed a Schedule 1 to this Selected Dealer Agreement relating to the Marketing Fee. Ameriprise shall have the responsibility for disclosing to customers of Ameriprise purchasing Shares the terms of any such marketing fee re-allowance, to the extent required by applicable law.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Marketing Fee shall be reduced as necessary in order that the underwriting compensation to be paid to all parties in connection with the Offering does not exceed the limitations prescribed by the NASD. In this regard, each of the Dealer Manager and Ameriprise acknowledges and agrees that the Offering shall be conducted in compliance with NASD Rules 2710 and 2810 which prescribe limitations on, among other things, the amount of organization and offering expenses that may be paid by the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offering. Accordingly, if at any time during the term of the Offering, the Dealer Manager determines in good faith that any payment to Ameriprise pursuant to this Agreement could result in a violation of an applicable NASD Rule, the Dealer Manager shall promptly notify Ameriprise, and the Dealer Manager and Ameriprise agree to cooperate with each other to implement such measures as they determine are necessary to ensure continued compliance with the applicable NASD Rules. Such measures may include, without limitation, a reduction in the amount of the Marketing Fee payable to Ameriprise. Until the parties mutually agree upon appropriate measures or until such time as the amount that may be paid without violation of such NASD Rules is finally determined, the Company shall be entitled to withhold and defer payments to the Dealer Manager of such portions of the dealer manager fee, and the Dealer Manager shall be entitled to withhold and defer payments to Ameriprise of such portions of the Marketing Fee and other compensation, as the Company reasonably determines are necessary to permit continued compliance with applicable NASD Rules, but shall otherwise continue to pay to Ameriprise all amounts that are due and payable under this Agreement.

(iii) In addition, the Dealer Manager will reimburse Ameriprise for bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by Ameriprise in connection with the Offering. In no event shall the Dealer Manager reimburse Ameriprise for bona fide due diligence expenses in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the gross proceeds of Shares sold by Ameriprise.

(e) Finders Fee. Neither the Company nor Ameriprise shall, directly or indirectly, pay or award any finder’s fees, commissions or other compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the purchase of Shares; provided, however, that normal selling commissions payable to a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed person for selling Shares shall not be prohibited hereby.

4. Covenants. Each Xxxxx Entity jointly and severally covenants and agrees with Ameriprise that it will:

(a) Commission Orders. Use its reasonable best efforts to cause any amendments to the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as possible and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and will promptly notify Ameriprise and confirm the notice in writing if requested, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any jurisdiction of any stop order or of the initiation, or the threatening, of any proceedings for that purpose or of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or of the institution or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, (iii) of the receipt of any written (or material verbal) comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement, (iv) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement as filed or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, and (v) if the Registration Statement becomes unavailable for use in connection with the offering of the Shares for any reason. Each of the Company and the Dealer Manager will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance by the Commission of a stop order or a suspension order and if the Commission shall enter a stop order or suspension order at any time, each of the Company and the Dealer Manager will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall not accept any order of Shares during the effectiveness of any stop order.

(b) Registration Statement. Deliver to Ameriprise without charge promptly after the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto become effective, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented), the Registration Statement and supplements and amendments thereto, if any (without exhibits), as Ameriprise may reasonably request.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, within two business days after the Company files a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company agrees to file a supplement to the Prospectus which incorporates the financial and other information contained in such Quarterly Report (each, a “Periodic Prospectus Supplement”). In addition, in order to comply with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, the Company agrees to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement each year to include the Company’s audited financial statements and other information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year (each an “Annual Post-Effective Amendment”).

For the avoidance of doubt, ordinary course communications with the Company’s shareholders, including without limitation, the delivery of annual and quarterly reports and financial information, dividend notices, reports of net asset value and information regarding the tax treatment of distributions and similar matters shall not be considered advertising and supplemental sales material, unless the context otherwise requires.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification by a Hines Entity of Ameriprise, or each person, if any, who controls Ameriprise within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents or its officers, directors or control persons, pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (1) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (2) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (3) 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 Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(b) Indemnification by Ameriprise. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Ameriprise agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Hines Entity, each of their directors and trustees, those of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each other person, if any, who controls a Hines Entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from a Hines Entity but only with respect to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement (as from time to time amended or supplemented) or Prospectus, or any related preliminary prospectus, or any application made in reliance upon or, in conformity with, written information furnished by Ameriprise expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any related preliminary prospectus or in any of such applications.

(c) Procedure for Making Claims. Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any claim or action (including any governmental investigation) commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure, and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. The indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, shall assume the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ a separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such party unless such party has objected in accordance with the preceding sentence, in which event such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of separate counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the reasonable fees

and expenses of more than one counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 8 and the warranties and representations contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. An indemnifying party shall not be liable to an indemnified party on account of any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. The Company agrees promptly to notify Ameriprise of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company in connection with the issue and sale of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(d) Contribution. Subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth in Section 8(a) hereof and in order to provide for just and equitable contribution where the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any Losses, except by reason of the terms thereof, the Hines Entities on the one hand and Ameriprise on the other shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by each the Hines Entities, on the one hand, and Ameriprise on the other from the Offering based on the public offering price of the Shares sold and the Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees and due diligence expense reimbursements received by Ameriprise with respect to such Shares sold. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits referred to above but also the relative fault of the Hines Entities, on the one hand and Ameriprise on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Hines Entities, on the one hand and Ameriprise on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the sum of (i) the aggregate net compensation retained by the Hines Entities and their affiliates for the purchase of Shares and (ii) total proceeds from the Offering (net of Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees and due diligence expense reimbursements paid to Ameriprise) received by the Company bears to (b) the Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees and due diligence expense reimbursements retained by Ameriprise. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by a Hines Entity, on the one hand or Ameriprise on the other. The Company agrees with Ameriprise that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation, or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or action in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), Ameriprise shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares subscribed for through Ameriprise were offered to the subscribers exceeds the amount of any damages which Ameriprise has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Further, in no event shall the amount of Ameriprise’s contribution to the liability exceed the net commissions, marketing support fees, due diligence expense reimbursements and any other compensation retained by Ameriprise from the proceeds of the Offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act or Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, as amended)

shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, any person that controls Ameriprise within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same right to contribution as Ameriprise, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same right to contribution as the Company.

9. Representations and Agreements to Survive. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in certificates and all agreements contained in Section 3(d), 6, 8, 9 and 10 of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by any party, and shall survive the Termination Date.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by any party pursuant to Sections 10(a) or 10(b) hereof, the Company shall pay all expenses of the Offering as required by Section 6 hereof and no party will have any additional liability to any other party except for any liability which may exist under Sections 3(d) and 8 hereof. Except as provided in Sections 3(d), 6 or 8 hereof, in no event will the Company be liable to reimburse Ameriprise for expenses other than Ameriprise’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
