Each of the Company and the Operating Partnership has qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or the nature or conduct of its business, as described in the Prospectus, requires such qualification, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations or cash flows of the Company and the Operating Partnership taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

1.3 Authorization and Description of Securities. The issuance and sale of the Offered Shares have been duly authorized by the Company, and, when issued and duly delivered against payment therefor as contemplated by this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance, security interest or other claim, and the issuance and sale of the Offered Shares by the Company are not subject to preemptive or other similar rights arising by operation of law, under the charter or bylaws of the Company or under any agreement to which the Company is a party or otherwise. The Offered Shares conform in all material respects to the description of the Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The authorized, issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof are as set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock.” All offers and sales of the Common Stock prior to the date hereof were at all relevant times duly registered under the Securities Act or were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and were duly registered or the subject of an available exemption from the registration requirements of the applicable state securities or blue

sky laws. As of the date hereof, the Operating Partnership has not issued any security or other equity interest other than units of partnership interest (“Units”) as set forth in the Prospectus, and none of such outstanding Units has been issued in violation of any preemptive right, and all of such Units have been issued by the Operating Partnership in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

The Operating Partnership is not in violation of its certificate of limited partnership or its partnership agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Operating Partnership will not violate the terms of or constitute a breach or default under: (a) its certificate of limited partnership or; (b) its partnership agreement; or (c) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, or other material agreement to which the Operating Partnership is a party or to which its properties are bound; or (d) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Operating Partnership; or (e) any writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Operating Partnership except, in the cases of clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e), for such violations or defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company is organized in a manner that conforms with the requirements for qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Company’s intended method of operation, as set forth in the Prospectus, would enable it to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT under the Code. The Operating Partnership will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and not as a corporation or association taxable as a corporation.

1.6 No Operation as an Investment Company. The Company is not and does not currently intend to conduct its business so as to be, an “investment company” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and it will exercise reasonable diligence to ensure that it does not become an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

the issuance and sale by the Company of the Offered Shares, except such as may be required under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) or applicable state securities laws or where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization, license, registration, qualification, order or decree of any court, governmental authority or agency would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.10 Escrow Agent. The Company has entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), and the Dealer Manager, in the form included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which provides for the establishment of an escrow account into which subscribers’ funds will be deposited pursuant to the subscription procedures described in Section 6 below (the “Escrow Account”).

1.16 Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company possesses adequate permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it, except where the failure to obtain such Governmental Licenses, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; the Company is in compliance with the terms and condition of all such Governmental

Licenses, except where the failure to so comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and, as of the date hereof, the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not directly pay, or reimburse the Advisor for, the costs and expenses described in this Section 3.1 if the payment or reimbursement of such expenses would cause the aggregate of the Company’s “organization and offering expenses” as defined by FINRA Rule 2810 (including the Company expenses paid or reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.1, all items of underwriting compensation including Dealer Manager expenses described in Section 3.2 and due diligence expenses described in Section 3.3) to exceed 15.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares.

In addition to payment of the Company expenses, the Company shall reimburse the Dealer Manager as provided in the Prospectus for certain costs and expenses incident to the Offering, to the extent permitted pursuant to prevailing rules and regulations of FINRA, including expenses, fees and taxes incurred in connection with: (a) attendance at broker-dealer sponsored conferences, educational conferences sponsored by the Company, industry sponsored conferences and informational seminars; (b) legal fees and expenses; and (c) customary promotional items; provided, however, that, no costs and expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.2 which would cause the total underwriting compensation paid in connection with the Offering to exceed 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares, excluding reimbursement of bona fide due diligence expenses as provided under Section 3.3. To the extent that the Company pays to the Dealer Manger the maximum amount of selling commissions described in Section 5.2(a) below and the maximum amount of Dealer Manager Fee as defined and described in Section 5.2(b) below on all sales of Primary Shares, then the maximum amount of Dealer Manager expenses that may be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be equal to 0.4% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares.

3.3 Due Diligence Expenses. In addition to reimbursement as provided under Section 3.2, the Company shall also reimburse the Dealer Manager, and any Participating Dealer, as appropriate, for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer; provided, however, that no due diligence expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.3 which would cause the aggregate of (a) all Company expenses described in Section 3.1, (b) all underwriting compensation paid to the Dealer Manager and any Participating Dealer and (c) the bona fide due diligence expenses reimbursed pursuant to this Section 3.3 to exceed 15.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares. Such due diligence expenses may include travel, lodging, meals and other reasonable out-of-pocket

expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer and their personnel when visiting the Company’s offices or properties to verify information relating to the Company or its properties. The Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer shall provide a detailed and itemized invoice to the Company for any such due diligence expenses.

4.2 Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations. The Dealer Manager represents to the Company that (i) it is a member of FINRA in good standing, and (ii) it and its employees and representatives who will perform services hereunder have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Agreement.

The Dealer Manager further represents that it is currently in compliance with all AML Rules and will require each Participating Dealer to comply with all AML Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, the

4.4 Accuracy of Information. The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Company, the Operating Partnership and each person that signs the Registration Statement that the information under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus and all other information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

4.5 Suitability. The Dealer Manager will, and will require each Participating Dealer to, offer Primary Shares only to persons who meet the suitability standards set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and will only make offers to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing by the Company that the Primary Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required. Notwithstanding the qualification of the Primary Shares for sale in any respective jurisdiction (or the exemption therefrom), the Dealer Manager represents, warrants and covenants that it will not offer Primary Shares and will not permit any of its registered representatives to offer Primary Shares in any jurisdiction unless both the Dealer Manager and such registered representative are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction. The Dealer Manager further represents, warrants and covenants that it will not permit any Participating Dealer, or any such Participating Dealer’s registered representatives, to offer Primary Shares in any jurisdiction unless both the Participating Dealer and such Participating Dealer’s registered representative are duly licensed to transact securities business in such jurisdiction. In offering Primary Shares, the Dealer Manager will, and will require each Participating Dealer to comply with the provisions of the FINRA Conduct Rules, as well as all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions of Section III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the “NASAA REIT Guidelines”).

The Dealer Manager further represents, warrants and covenants that neither the Dealer Manager nor any Participating Dealer, nor any person associated with the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer, shall offer or sell Primary Shares in any jurisdiction except to investors who satisfy the investor suitability standards and minimum investment requirements under all of the following: (1) applicable provisions of the Prospectus; (2) applicable laws of the jurisdiction of which such investor is a resident; (3) applicable FINRA Conduct Rules; and (4) the provisions of Section III.C. of the NASAA REIT Guidelines. The Dealer Manager agrees to ensure that, in recommending the purchase, sale or exchange of Primary Shares to an investor,

the Dealer Manager, or a person associated with the Dealer Manager, shall have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor (and thereafter maintained in the manner and for the period required by the Commission, any state securities commission, FINRA or the Company) concerning the investor’s age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known to the Dealer Manager, or person associated with the Dealer Manager, that (A) the investor is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable the investor to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax benefits to the extent they are a significant aspect of the Company, (B) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in an investment in Primary Shares in the amount proposed, including loss and potential lack of liquidity of such investment, and (C) an investment in Primary Shares is otherwise suitable for such investor. The Dealer Manager further represents, warrants and covenants that the Dealer Manager, or a person associated with the Dealer Manager, will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in Primary Shares of each proposed investor solicited by a person associated with the Dealer Manager by reviewing documents and records disclosing the basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each such proposed investor, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained, or accounts hereafter established. The Dealer Manager agrees to retain such documents and records in the Dealer Manager’s records for a period of six years from the date of the applicable sale of Primary Shares, to otherwise comply with the record keeping requirements provided in Section 4.6 below and to make such documents and records available to (i) the Company upon request, and (ii) representatives of the Commission, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon the Dealer Manager’s receipt of an appropriate document subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency.

4.6 Recordkeeping. The Dealer Manager agrees to comply, and to require each Participating Dealer to comply, with the record keeping requirements of the Exchange Act, including but not limited to, Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Dealer Manager further agrees to keep, and to require each Participating Dealer to keep, such records with respect to each customer who purchases Primary Shares, the customer’s suitability and the amount of Primary Shares sold, and to retain such records for such period of time as may be required by the Commission, any state securities commission, FINRA or the Company.

4.7 Customer Information. The Dealer Manager shall:

(a) abide by and comply with (i) the privacy standards and requirements of the GLB Act; (ii) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law; and (iii) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time;

(b) refrain from the use or disclosure of nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLB Act) of all customers who have opted out of such

disclosures except as necessary to service the customers or as otherwise necessary or required by applicable law; and

(c) determine which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving an aggregated list of such customers from the Participating Dealers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event either party uses or discloses nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party will consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. Each party understands that it is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.

4.8 Resale of Offered Shares. The Dealer Manager agrees, and each Participating Dealer shall have agreed, to comply with any applicable requirements with respect to its and each Participating Dealer’s participation in any resales or transfers of the Offered Shares. In addition, the Dealer Manager agrees, and each Participating Dealer shall have agreed, that should it or they assist with the resale or transfer of the Offered Shares, it and each Participating Dealer will fully comply with all applicable FINRA rules and any other applicable federal or state laws.

4.13 Suspension or Termination of Offering. The Dealer Manager agrees, and will require that each of the Participating Dealers agree, to suspend or terminate the offering and sale of the Primary Shares upon request of the Company at any time and to resume offering and sale of the Primary Shares upon subsequent request of the Company.

5. Sale of Primary Shares.

5.1 Exclusive Appointment of Dealer Manager. The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its exclusive agent and managing dealer during the period commencing with the date hereof and ending on the termination date of the Offering (the

“Termination Date”) described in the Prospectus (the “Offering Period”) to solicit, and to cause Participating Dealers to solicit, purchasers of the Primary Shares at the purchase price to be paid in accordance with, and otherwise upon the other terms and conditions set forth in, the Prospectus, and the Dealer Manager agrees to use its best efforts to procure purchasers of the Primary Shares during the Offering Period. The Primary Shares offered and sold through the Dealer Manager under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by the Dealer Manager and, at the Dealer Manager’s sole option, by any Participating Dealers whom the Dealer Manager may retain, each of which shall be members of FINRA in good standing, pursuant to an executed Participating Dealer Agreement with such Participating Dealer. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Primary Shares on said terms and conditions.

5.2 Compensation.

(a) Selling Commissions. Subject to volume discounts and other special circumstances described in or otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus or this Section 5.2, the Company will pay to the Dealer Manager selling commissions in the amount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Primary Shares sold, which commissions may be reallowed in whole or in part to the Participating Dealer who sold the Offered Shares giving rise to such commissions, as described more fully in the Participating Dealer Agreement entered into with such Participating Dealer; provided, however, that no commissions described in this clause (a) shall be payable in respect of the purchase of Primary Shares sold: (i) through an investment advisory representative affiliated with a Participating Dealer who is paid on a fee-for-service basis by the investor; (ii) by a Participating Dealer (or such Participating Dealer’s registered representative), in its individual capacity, or by a retirement plan of such Participating Dealer (or such Participating Dealer’s registered representative), or (iii) by an officer, director or employee of the Company, the Advisor or their respective affiliates. The Company will not pay to the Dealer Manager any selling commissions in respect of the purchase of any DRIP Shares.

(b) Dealer Manager Fee. The Company will pay to the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee in the amount of 2.6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Primary Shares (the “Dealer Manager Fee”), a portion of which may be reallowed to Participating Dealers (as described more fully in the Participating Dealer Agreement entered into with such Participating Dealer), which reallowance, if any, shall be determined by the Dealer Manager in its discretion based on factors including, but not limited to, the number of shares sold by such Participating Dealer, the assistance of such Participating Dealer in marketing the Offering and due diligence expenses incurred, and the extent to which similar fees are reallowed to participating broker-dealers in similar offerings being conducted during the Offering Period; provided, however, that no Dealer Manager Fee shall be payable in respect of the purchase of Shares by an officer, director or employee of the Company, the Advisor or their respective affiliates.

(c) Friends and Family Program. As described in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager agrees to sell up to 5% of the Primary Shares to persons identified by the Company pursuant to the Company’s “friends and family” program. The purchase price for Shares under this program will be $9.05 per share, reflecting that no selling commissions or

Dealer Manager Fees will be payable in connection with such sales. The Dealer Manager agrees to work together with the Company to implement this program and to execute sales under the program according to the procedures agreed upon by the Dealer Manager and the Company.

5.3 Obligations to Participating Dealers. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Participating Dealer for direct payment of commissions or any reallowance of the Dealer Manager Fee to such Participating Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions or any reallowance of the Dealer Manager Fee to Participating Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, the Company, in its sole discretion, may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions or reallowance of the Dealer Manager Fee to such Participating Dealers without incurring any liability therefor.

6. Submission of Orders.

Each person desiring to purchase Primary Shares in the Offering will be required to complete and execute a subscription agreement in the form attached as an appendix to the Prospectus (the “Subscription Agreement”) and to deliver to the Dealer Manager or Participating Dealer, as the case may be (the “Processing Broker-Dealer”), such completed Subscription Agreement, together with a check, draft, wire or money order (hereinafter referred to as an “instrument of payment”) in the amount of $10.00 per Share. The Company shall submit an electronic copy of each Subscription Agreement it receives to the Processing Broker-Dealer within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt thereof. Thereafter, Primary Shares will be offered and sold at a purchase price of $10.00 per Share, or such discounted purchase price per Share that may apply based upon the available discounts specified in the Prospectus. There shall be a minimum initial purchase by any one purchaser of $2,500 of Primary Shares (except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, or in any letter or memorandum from the Company to the Dealer Manager). Minimum subsequent purchases of Primary Shares shall be $2,500 per transaction. Until such time as the Company has received and accepted subscriptions for at least 250,000 Primary Shares (the “Minimum Offering”) and released the proceeds from such subscriptions from the Escrow Account (or such greater amount as may be applicable in respect of any greater escrow in respect of subscribers from any state), those persons who purchase Primary Shares will be instructed by the Processing Broker-Dealer to make their checks payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc.” Thereafter, those persons who purchase Primary Shares will be instructed by the Processing Broker-Dealer to make their checks payable to “Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc.”

The Processing Broker-Dealer receiving a Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions shall return such Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the second business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer of such materials. Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment received by the Processing Broker-Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the following methods:

(a) where, pursuant to the internal supervisory procedures of the Processing Broker-Dealer, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment are received from subscribers, then, by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer, the Processing Broker-Dealer will transmit the Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account or agent as directed by the Company; and

(b) where, pursuant to the internal supervisory procedures of the Processing Broker-Dealer, final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment will be transmitted by the Processing Broker-Dealer to the Final Review Office by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Processing Broker-Dealer. The Final Review Office will in turn by noon of the next business day following receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit such Subscription Agreements and instruments of payment to the Escrow Agent or, after the Minimum Offering has been obtained, to the Company or to such other account or agent as directed by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Offered Shares to be purchased by a custodial account, the Processing Broker-Dealer shall cause the custodian of such account to deliver a completed Subscription Agreement and instrument of payment for such account directly to the Escrow Agent. The Processing Broker-Dealer shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of instruments of payment a list of the subscribers showing the name, address, tax identification number, state of residence, amount of Offered Shares subscribed for, and the amount of money paid.

The Dealer Manager will reimburse the aforesaid parties in connection with investigation or defense of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

7.4 Participating Dealer Indemnification of the Company and the Operating Partnership. By virtue of entering into the Participating Dealer Agreement, each Participating Dealer severally will agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager, each of their respective Indemnified Parties, and each person who signs the Registration Statement, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager, or any of their respective Indemnified Parties, or any person who signed the Registration Statement, may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, as more fully described in the Participating Dealer Agreement.

7.5 Action Against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by any 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 any indemnifying party under this Section 7, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. 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 Section 7.6) 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 on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

7.6 Reimbursement of Fees and Expenses. An indemnifying party under Section 7 of this Agreement shall be obligated to reimburse an indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses as follows:

(a) In the case of the Company and/or the Operating Partnership indemnifying the Dealer Manager, the advancement of Company funds to the Dealer Manager for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought shall be permissible (in accordance with Section II.G. of the NASAA REIT Guidelines) only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company; (ii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the Company or the legal action is initiated by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and a court of competent jurisdiction specifically approves such advancement; and (iii) the Dealer Manager undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which the Dealer Manager is found not to be entitled to indemnification.

(b) In any case of indemnification other than that described in Section 7.6(a) above, the indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm 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 that has been participating 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.

8. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, from the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, in connection with the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Primary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the relevant Participating Dealer Agreement (before deducting expenses), received by the Company, and the total selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees received by the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, in each case as set forth on the over of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Primary Shares as set forth on such cover.

The relative fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer, respectively, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company or the Operating Partnership, or by the Dealer Manager or by the Participating Dealer, respectively, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer (by virtue of entering into the Participating Dealer Agreement) agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable contributions referred to above in this Section 8. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer shall not be required to contribute any amount by which the total amount of selling commissions and Dealer Manager Fees paid to them pursuant to Section 5 above exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager and the Participating Dealer have otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For the purposes of this Section 8, the Dealer Manager’s officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Dealer Manager, and each of the officers, directors, employees, members, partners, agents and representatives of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Operating Partnership, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution of the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively. The Participating Dealers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the number of Primary Shares sold by each Participating Dealer and not joint.

9. Survival of Provisions.

The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect until the Termination Date regardless of: (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Participating Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any person controlling the Company; and (b) the delivery of payment for the Offered Shares. Following the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will become void and there will be no liability of any party to any other party hereto, except for obligations under Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 16, all of which will survive the termination of this Agreement.

10. 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 10. Venue for any action brought hereunder shall lie exclusively in New York, New York.

11. Counterparts.
