EXHIBIT 1.2
FORM OF SOLICITING DEALERS AGREEMENT
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have entered into an agreement (the "Dealer Manager Agreement") which is
a part hereof and attached hereto, with Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), under which we have agreed to use
our best efforts to solicit subscriptions for the shares of common stock (the
"Shares") in the Company. The Company is offering to the public an aggregate
maximum of up to 250,000,000 Shares at a price of $10.00 per Share on a "best
efforts" basis and up to 20,000,000 Shares issued pursuant to the Company's
distribution reinvestment program at a price of $9.50 per Share (the
"Offering").
In connection with the performance of our obligations under Section 2 of
the Dealer Manager Agreement, we are authorized to retain the services of
securities dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "Soliciting Dealers") to solicit subscriptions. You are
hereby invited to become a Soliciting Dealer and, as such, to use your best
efforts to solicit subscribers for Shares, in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:
1. A registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with respect
to the 270,000,000 Shares has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), and has become effective. The 270,000,000 Shares and the Offering are
more particularly described in the enclosed prospectus (the "Prospectus") which
is part of the Registration Statement. Additional copies of the Prospectus will
be supplied to you in reasonable quantities upon request and may be provided to
you in electronic version by us or by the Company. We will also provide you with
reasonable quantities of any supplemental literature prepared by the Company in
connection with the offering of the Shares (the "Offering").
2. Solicitation and other activities by the Soliciting Dealers hereunder
shall be undertaken only in accordance with the Dealer Manager Agreement, this
Agreement, the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, the
Blue Sky Survey hereinafter referred to and the Rules of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), specifically including,
but not in any way limited to, NASD Rules 2440, 2710, 2730, 2740, 2750 and 2810.
In offering the sale of Shares to any person, each Soliciting Dealer shall have
reasonable grounds to believe (based on such information as the investment
objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs of the person or
any other information known by you after due inquiry) that: (i) such person is
or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable such person to realize
to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus and has a net
worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in the program, including loss of
investment and lack of liquidity; (ii) the purchase of the Shares is otherwise
suitable for such person, and each Soliciting Dealer shall maintain records
disclosing the basis upon which each Soliciting Dealer determined the
suitability of any persons offered Shares; and (iii) such person has either: (a)
a minimum annual gross income of
$45,000 and a minimum net worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and
automobiles) of $45,000; or (b) a minimum net worth (determined with the
foregoing exclusions) of $150,000.
If the investor is a resident of California, Michigan, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Missouri, Oregon or Tennessee, the investor must have either: (i) a minimum net
worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $225,000; or (ii) a
minimum annual gross income of $60,000 and a minimum net worth (exclusive of
home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $60,000.
If the investor is a resident of Maine, the investor must have either: (i)
a minimum net worth (excluding home, home furnishings and automobiles) of
$200,000; or (ii) a minimum annual gross income of $50,000 and a minimum net
worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of $50,000.
In addition, if the investor is a resident of Kansas, Missouri, Ohio or
Pennsylvania, the investment may not exceed 10% of the investor's liquid net
worth.
Each Soliciting Dealer agrees: (i) to deliver to each person who subscribes
for the Shares, a Prospectus, as then supplemented or amended, prior to the
tender of his subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"); (ii) to
comply promptly with the written request of any person for a copy of the
Prospectus during the period between the effective date of the Registration
Statement and the later of the termination of the distribution of the Shares or
the expiration of 40 days after the first date upon which the Shares were
offered to the public; (iii) to deliver in accordance with applicable law or as
prescribed by any state securities administrator to any person a copy of any
prescribed document included within the Registration Statement; and (iv) to
maintain in its files for at least six years, documents disclosing the basis
upon which the determination of suitability was reached as to each purchaser of
Shares.If any such Soliciting Dealer intends to use electronic delivery means in
distributing the Prospectus to any person, such Soliciting Dealer represents and
agrees that it will comply with all appropriate procedures in compliance with
requirements of the Commission.
3. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Dealer
Manager Agreement, we shall pay to you a reallowable 7% selling commission of
the price paid per Share for all Shares sold (except for Special Sales) from the
250,000,000 Shares offered on a "best efforts" basis for which you have acted as
Soliciting Dealer pursuant to this Agreement. Such selling commissions shall be
payable to you by the Dealer Manager, provided, however that such selling
commissions shall not be paid by the Dealer Manager other than from funds
received as commissions from the Company for the sale of its Shares, and until
any and all commissions payable by the Company to the Dealer Manager have been
received by the Dealer Manager.
Subject to certain conditions and exceptions explained below, investors
making an initial cash investment of at least $250,010 through the same
Soliciting Dealer will receive a reduction of the reallowable 7% selling
commission payable in connection with the purchase of those Shares in accordance
with the following schedule:
2
Amount of Selling Amount of Purchaser's Investment Maximum Commission
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume Discount From To Per Share
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1% $ 250,010 $ 500,000 6%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2% $ 500,010 $ 1,000,000 5%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3% $ 1,000,010 $ 2,500,000 4%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4% $ 2,500,010 $ 5,000,000 3%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5% $ 5,000,010 $ 10,000,000 2%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6% $ 10,000,010 more than $10,000,010 1%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 reallowable to you, so long as all such combined
purchases are made through you and approved by the Company. The Company will
combine subscriptions made in the Offering by a purchaser with other
subscriptions in the Offering, for the purpose of computing amounts invested.
Purchases by spouses will be combined and purchases by any investor may be
combined with other purchases of Shares to be held as joint tenants 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 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
3
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.
You (and other Soliciting Dealers) also may receive an amount equal to a
maximum of an additional 1.5% of the price per Share for all Shares sold (except
for certain Special Sales) from the 250,000,000 Shares offered on a "best
efforts" basis for which you have acted as Soliciting Dealer hereunder, as a
sales credit (as described in the following paragraph) equal to 1.5%. However,
except to the extent set forth below, such amounts will only be paid to a
Soliciting Dealer for actual marketing and due diligence expenses. Furthermore,
you (and other Soliciting Dealers) will not be paid any portion of the
wholesaling fees paid in connection with the Offering. Such wholesaling fees and
the sales credit described in the following paragraph are included within the
maximum Marketing Contribution.
You (and other Soliciting Dealers) shall be entitled to receive a sales
credit in the amount of 1.5% of the price of all Shares sold by that Soliciting
Dealer, which amount(s) shall be paid quarterly, in arrears. Certain marketing
and due diligence expenses such as Soliciting Dealer conferences and due
diligence fees may be advanced to a Soliciting Dealer and later deducted from
that Soliciting Dealer's sales credit. Any sales credit shall be deducted from
the maximum Marketing Contribution, which may otherwise be reallowable to the
Soliciting Dealer.
You (and other Soliciting Dealers) may reallow any portion of the above
sales credit to its registered representatives as is permitted under applicable
law and regulations including, without limitation, the federal and any
applicable state securities laws, any rules and/or regulations thereunder and
the rules and regulations of the NASD.
In connection with the performance of services, employees, Directors and
associates of the Company and its Affiliates, the Advisor, Affiliates of the
Advisor, the Dealer Manager and their respective officers and employees and
certain of their affiliates will be permitted to purchase Shares, as Special
Sales, net of selling commissions, the Marketing Contribution and the Due
Diligence Expense Allowance, and you shall not be entitled to receive any
compensation attributable to any such purchase(s).
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,
4
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
selling commission are limited to a maximum discount of 5% of the public
offering price per Share.
Your compensation may also be adjusted in the manner set forth in Section
4.7 of the Dealer Manager Agreement.
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, as
provided in the form of Subscription Agreement for any reason or for no reason.
Accordingly, you shall have no authority to issue a confirmation (pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 10b-10) to any subscriber; such authority residing solely in
us, as the Dealer Manager and processing broker-dealer.
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 will be reallowable 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 reallowable, upon
subscription, rather than a 7.5% selling commission, of which 7% will be
reallowable, 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
5
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.
4. We reserve the right to notify you by telegram or by other means of
the number of Shares reserved for sale by you. Such Shares will be reserved for
sale by you until the time specified in our notification to you. Sales of any
reserved Shares after the time specified in the notification to you or any
requests for additional Shares will be subject to rejection in whole or in part.
5. Payments for Shares shall be made by checks payable to "LBNA/Escrow
Agent for IWRRET" and forwarded together with a copy of the Subscription
Agreement, which is attached as Appendix C to the Prospectus or such other form
of Subscription Agreement as may be revised by the Company, executed by the
subscriber, to Inland Securities Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000, not later than noon of the next business day after receipt of
such Subscription Agreement and check (when your internal supervisory procedures
are completed at the site at which the Subscription Agreement and check were
received by you) or, when your internal supervisory procedures are performed at
a different location (the "Final Review Office"), you shall transmit the check
and Subscription Agreement to the Final Review Office by the end of the next
business day following your receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check. The
Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its
receipt of the Subscription Agreement and check, forward both the Subscription
Agreement and check to the Dealer Manager as processing broker-dealer. If any
Subscription Agreement solicited by you is rejected by the Company, the
Subscription Agreement and check will be forwarded to the escrow agent for
prompt return to the rejected subscriber.
6
6. We will inform you as to the jurisdictions in which we have been
advised by the Company that the Shares have been qualified for sale or are
exempt under the respective securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions;
but neither we nor the Company have assumed and will not assume any obligation
or responsibility as to your qualification or your right to act as a broker
and/or dealer with respect to the Shares in any jurisdiction. You agree that you
will not make any offers except in states in which we may advise you that the
Offering has been qualified or is exempt and further agree to assure that each
person to whom you sell Shares (at both the time of the initial purchase as well
as at the time of any subsequent purchases) meets any special suitability
standards which apply to sales in a particular jurisdiction, as described in the
Blue Sky Survey and the Subscription Agreement. The Blue Sky Survey which has
been or will be furnished to you indicates the jurisdictions in which it is
believed that the offer and sale of Shares covered by the Prospectus is exempt
from, or requires action under, the applicable blue sky or securities laws
thereof, and what action, if any, has been taken with respect thereto.
It is understood and agreed that under no circumstances will you, as a
Soliciting Dealer, engage in any activities hereunder in any jurisdiction in
which you may not lawfully so engage or in any activities in any jurisdiction
with respect to the Shares in which you may lawfully so engage unless you have
complied with the provisions hereof.
7. The Company may issue additional or successor products, in which event
we will inform you (and other Soliciting Dealers) of the new product and its
related commission schedule. We agree to obtain written permission from you (the
Soliciting Dealer) before attaching additional or successor products as part of
the Selling Agreement. We will not contact a Soliciting Dealer's registered
representatives regarding additional or successor products until approval is
obtained from the Soliciting Dealer.
We agree to notify you (and other Soliciting Dealers) of any new promotions
or sales incentive programs concerning Inland Western Retail Real Estate Trust,
Inc. We will not contact a Soliciting Dealer's registered representatives
concerning these promotions or sales incentive programs until we have received
permission from the Soliciting Dealer. We acknowledge that each Soliciting
Dealer reserves the right to refuse to allow its registered representatives to
participate in promotions or sales incentive programs.
8. Neither you nor any other person is authorized by the Company or by us
to give any information or make any representations in connection with this
Agreement or the offer of Shares other than those contained in the Prospectus,
as then amended or supplemented, or any sales literature approved by us and the
Company. You agree not to publish, circulate or otherwise use any other
advertisement or solicitation material without our prior written approval. You
are not authorized to act as our agent in any respect, and you agree not to act
as such agent and not to purport to act as such agent.
9. We shall have full authority to take such action as we may deem
advisable with respect to all matters pertaining to the Offering or arising
thereunder. We shall not be under any liability (except for (i) our own lack of
good faith and (ii) for obligations expressly assumed by us hereunder) for or in
respect of the validity or value of or title to, the Shares; the form of, or the
statements contained in, or the validity of, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any
7
amendment or supplement thereto, or any other instrument executed by Inland
Western Retail Real Estate Advisory Services, Inc., the Company's advisor (the
"Advisor"), the Company or by others; the form or validity of the Dealer Manager
Agreement or this Agreement; the delivery of the Shares; the performance by the
Advisor, the Company or by others of any agreement on its or their part; the
qualification of the Shares for sale under the laws of any jurisdiction; or any
matter in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing
in this paragraph shall be deemed to relieve the Company or the undersigned from
any liability imposed by the Act. No obligations on the part of the Company or
the undersigned shall be implied or inferred herefrom.
10. Privacy Act. It is understood and acknowledged by all parties that
they may be financial institutions subject to, and will comply with, all
applicable federal and state regulations regarding customer and consumer
privacy, including Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act. Privacy provisions of
the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act limit disclosure of customer information to uses
required by law, regulation or rule, or uses consistent with the purposes for
which this information was disclosed in the
Soliciting Dealers Agreement.
"Customer information" is defined as any information contained on a customer's
application and includes all nonpublic personal information about a customer
shared by the Company, the Dealer Manager and the Soliciting Dealer.
Subject to the provisions of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act, the parties shall
establish and maintain safeguards against the unauthorized access, destruction,
loss or alteration of customer information in their control. In the event of any
improper disclosure of customer information, the party responsible agrees to
immediately notify the other party.
11. Anti-Money Laundering. All parties agree to comply with U.S.
Department of Treasury regulations (outlined in the Patriot Act) that require
reasonable efforts to verify the identity of new customers, maintain customer
records, and check the names of new customers against a government terrorist
list. Further, to provide the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network with
information regarding: 1) the identity of a specified individual or
organization; 2) account number; 3) all identifying information provided by the
account holder, and 4) the date and type of transaction, upon request. All
parties will manually monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual
size or volume, geographic factors, and any of the other "red flags" described
in the Patriot Act as potential signals of money laundering or terrorist
financing. The Company and the Dealer Manager reserve the right to reject
account applications from new customers who fail to provide necessary account
information or who intentionally provide misleading information.
12. Under the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company has agreed to
indemnify you and us and each person, if any, who controls you or us, in certain
instances and against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Act
in certain circumstances. You agree to indemnify the Company and each person who
controls it as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement and to indemnify us to
the extent and in the manner that you agree to indemnify the Company in such
Dealer Manager Agreement.
13. You hereby authorize and ratify the execution and delivery of the
Dealer Manager Agreement by us as Dealer Manager for ourselves and on behalf of
the Soliciting Dealers (including you) and authorize us to agree to any
variation of its terms or provisions and to
8
execute and deliver any amendment, modification or supplement thereto. Each
Soliciting Dealer hereby agrees to be bound by all provisions of the Dealer
Manager Agreement relating to Soliciting Dealers. You also authorize us to
exercise, in our discretion, all the authority or discretion now or hereafter
vested in us by the provisions of the Dealer Manager Agreement and to take all
such actions as we may believe desirable in order to carry out the provisions of
the Dealer Manager Agreement and of this Agreement.
14. This Agreement, except for the provisions of Sections 9 and 12 hereof,
may be terminated at any time by either party hereto by two days' prior written
notice to the other party and, in all events, this Agreement shall terminate on
the termination date of the Dealer Manager Agreement, except for the provisions
of Sections 9 and 12 hereof, which Sections shall terminate seven (7) years from
the date hereof.
15. Any communications from you should be in writing addressed to us at
Inland Securities Corporation, 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000,
Attention: Xx. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, President. Any notice from us to you shall be
deemed to have been duly given if mailed, communicated by telegraph or
telefacsimile or delivered by overnight courier to you at your address shown
below.
16. Nothing herein contained shall constitute the undersigned, you, the
other Soliciting Dealers or any of them as an association, partnership, limited
liability company, unincorporated business or other separate entity.
17. Prior to offering the Shares for sale, you shall have conducted an
inquiry such that you have reasonable grounds to believe, based on information
made available to you by the Company or the Advisor through the Prospectus or
other materials, that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed
and provide a basis for evaluating a purchase of Shares. In determining the
adequacy of disclosed facts pursuant to the foregoing, each Soliciting Dealer
may obtain, upon request, information on material facts relating at a minimum to
the following:
a) items of compensation;
b) Company properties;
c) tax aspects;
d) financial stability and experience of the Company and the Advisor;
e) conflicts and risk factors; and
f) appraisals and other pertinent reports.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Soliciting Dealer may rely upon the
results of an inquiry conducted by another Soliciting Dealer, provided that:
(i) such Soliciting Dealer has reasonable grounds to believe that
such inquiry was conducted with due care;
9
(ii) the results of the inquiry were provided to you with the
consent of the Soliciting Dealer conducting or directing the
inquiry; and
(iii) no Soliciting Dealer that participated in the inquiry is an
affiliate of the Company.
Prior to the sale of the Shares, each Soliciting Dealer shall inform the
prospective purchaser of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and
marketability of the Shares during the term of the investment.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding and agreement,
please sign and return the attached duplicate of this Agreement. Your indicated
acceptance thereof shall constitute a binding agreement between you and us.
Very truly yours,
