16
Offering through the Managed Offering Term and (ii) with respect to DRIP Shares purchased with distributions paid by the Company on such Shares sold by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx during the period from the date hereof to the date that the Offering is terminated (the “Effective Term”). Subject to the performance by the Company of all obligations to be performed by it hereunder and the completeness and accuracy of all of its representations and warranties, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees to use its best efforts, during the Managed Offering Term, to offer and sell up to $300,000,000 in Class I Shares in the Primary Offering at the price terms stated in the Prospectus, as the same may be adjusted from time to time (the “Managed Offering”).

The Class I Shares sold in the Primary Offering during the Managed Offering Term shall be offered to the public at a purchase price payable in cash equal to the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share applicable to Class I Shares being purchased on such day prior to giving effect to any share purchases or redemptions to be effected on such day (as calculated in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus). For stockholders who participate in the DRIP, the cash distributions attributable to the Class I Shares that each stockholder owns will be automatically invested in additional Class I Shares. The Shares issued pursuant to the DRIP (“DRIP Shares”) are to be issued and sold to stockholders of the Company at a purchase price equal to the Company’s NAV per share applicable to the Class I Shares being purchased (as calculated in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus). Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum sent to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx by the Company or the Dealer Manager, a minimum initial purchase of $2,000 in Shares is required. Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus, additional investments may be made in cash in minimal increments of at least $100 in Shares. The Shares are nonassessable.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees that it will comply with Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act in connection with its transmission of payments for Class I Shares. If Xxxxxxx Xxxxx desires to coordinate Orders to be submitted and accepted on a single closing date, the Company and the Dealer Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts and act in good faith to cooperate with such request. The parties acknowledge that any receipt by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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.
Orders received in good order and processed by the Company prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time; the “close of business”) on any business day will be executed at the price per share of the Class I Shares being purchased calculated at the end of such business day in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus.

If Xxxxxxx Xxxxx receives no notice of rejection within the foregoing time limits, the Order shall be deemed accepted. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees to make every reasonable effort 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, among other things, such purchaser’s age, investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, investment objectives, and other investments of such potential purchaser. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees to maintain copies of the Orders received from investors and of the other information obtained from investors, including the Order Forms, for a minimum of 6 years from the date of sale and will make such information available to the Company upon request by the Company.
(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.

Further, upon the date when the Dealer Manager is notified that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to the Shares sold by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx giving rise to the Dealer Manager Fees, then Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x entitlement to the Dealer Manager Fees related to such Shares shall cease, and beginning on such date, the Dealer Manager Fees may be reallowed by the Dealer Manager to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the Shares if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Dealer”) to the extent such Servicing Dealer has entered into a Selected
18
Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with the Dealer Manager (“Servicing Agreement”) and such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement with the Servicing Dealer provides for such reallowance. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees to promptly notify the Dealer Manager upon becoming aware that it should no longer be the broker-dealer of record with respect to any or all of the Shares sold by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. The Dealer Manager may also reallow some or all of the Dealer Manager Fees to other broker-dealers who provide services with respect to the Shares (“Additional Servicing Dealers”) pursuant to a Servicing Agreement with the Dealer Manager to the extent such Servicing Agreement provides for such reallowance, all in accordance with the terms of such Servicing Agreement. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for the Dealer Manager Fees to be received by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is limited solely to the Dealer Manager Fees received by the Dealer Manager from the Company with respect to Shares sold by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx pursuant to this Agreement. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of such Dealer Manager Fees until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of such Dealer Manager Fees from the Company.

In accordance with these applicable laws and regulations and its AML Program, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees to verify the identity of its new customers; to maintain customer records; to check the names of new customers against government watch lists, including the Office of Foreign Asset Control’s (OFAC) list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. Additionally, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will monitor account activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors and any other “red flags” described in the USA Patriot Act as potential signals of money laundering or terrorist financing. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will submit to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network any required suspicious activity reports about such activity and further will disclose such activity to applicable federal and state law enforcement when required by law. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will certify annually to the Dealer Manager that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (i) has implemented its anti-money laundering compliance program and (ii) will perform the specified requirements of its customer identification policies and procedures.
(f) Privacy. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees as follows:
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees to abide by and comply in all respects with (a) the privacy standards and requirements of the GLBA and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, (b) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable federal or state law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and (c) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time.
The parties hereto acknowledge that from time to time, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx xxx share with the Company and the Company may share with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLBA) of customers of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. This nonpublic personal information may include,
26
but is not limited to a customer’s name, address, telephone number, social security number, account information and personal financial information. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall only be granted access to such nonpublic personal information of each of its customers that pertains to the period or periods during which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx served as the broker dealer of record for such customer’s account. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, the Dealer Manager and the Company shall not disclose nonpublic personal information of any customers who have opted out of such disclosures, except (a) to service providers (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA), (b) to carry out the purposes for which one party discloses such nonpublic personal information to another party under this Agreement (when necessary and as permitted under the GLBA) or (c) as otherwise required by applicable law. Any nonpublic personal information that one party receives from another party shall be subject to the limitations on usage described in this Section 5(f). Except as expressly permitted under the FCRA, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agrees that it shall not disclose any information that would be considered a “consumer report” under the FCRA.
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, the Dealer Manager or the Company expects to use or disclose nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than as set forth in this Section 5(f), it must first consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. The use or disclosure of any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures, except as set forth in this Section 5(f), shall be prohibited.
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall implement reasonable measures designed (a) to assure the security and confidentiality of nonpublic personal information of all customers; (b) to protect such information against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; (c) to protect against unauthorized access to, or use of, such information that could result in material harm to any customer; (d) to protect against unauthorized disclosure of such information to unaffiliated third parties; and (e) to otherwise ensure its compliance with all applicable privacy standards and requirements of federal or state law (including, but not limited to, the GLBA), and any other applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx further agrees to cause all its agents, representatives, affiliates, subcontractors, or any other party to whom Xxxxxxx Xxxxx provides access to or discloses nonpublic personal information of customers to implement appropriate measures designed to meet the objectives set forth in this Section 5(f).
(g) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x Undertaking to Not Facilitate a Secondary Market in the Shares. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx acknowledges that there is no public trading market for the Shares and that there are limits on the ownership, transferability and redemption of the Shares, which significantly limit the liquidity of an investment in the Shares. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx also acknowledges that the Company’s share redemption program for the Shares (the “Program”) provides only a limited opportunity for investors to have their Shares redeemed by the Company and that the Company’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the Program at any time in accordance with the terms of the Program. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx further acknowledges that the Company is obligated to immediately terminate the Program if the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or if a secondary market in the Shares is otherwise established. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx hereby agrees that so long as the Company is offering Shares under a registration statement filed with the Commission (including any follow-on offering of the Shares) and the Company has not listed the Shares on a national securities exchange, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx will not engage in any action or transaction that would facilitate or otherwise create the appearance of a secondary market in the Shares without the prior written approval of the Dealer Manager.
(h) Accuracy of Information. No information supplied by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx specifically for use in the Registration Statement, in the Prospectus or in any Supplemental Information, will contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make such information, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
27
(i) Sale of Shares. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall solicit purchasers of the Shares only in the jurisdictions in which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx has been advised by the Company (including pursuant to the Blue Sky Memorandum, and any updates thereto, delivered to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx pursuant to Section 4(I)(d)) that such solicitations can be made and in which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is qualified to so act.
6. Payment of Expenses.
(a) Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are consummated or if this Agreement is terminated, the Company and/or the Dealer Manager, as designated in the Prospectus, will pay or cause to be paid, in addition to the compensation described in Section 3(d) (which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx xxx retain up to the point of termination unless this Agreement is terminated without any Shares being sold, in which case no such compensation shall be paid), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the formation, qualification and registration of the Company and in marketing, distributing and processing the Shares under applicable federal and state law, and any other fees and expenses actually incurred and directly related to the Offering and the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, including such fees and expenses as: (i) the preparing, printing, filing and delivering of the Registration Statement (as originally filed and all amendments thereto) and of the Prospectus and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and the preparing and printing of this Agreement and Order Forms, including the cost of all copies thereof and any financial statements or exhibits relating to the foregoing supplied to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in quantities reasonably requested by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx; (ii) the preparing and printing of the subscription material and related documents and the filing and/or recording of such certified certificates or other documents necessary to comply with the laws of the State of Maryland for the formation of a corporation and thereafter for the continued good standing of the Company; (iii) the issuance and delivery of the Shares, including any transfer or other taxes payable thereon; (iv) the qualification or registration of the Shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws; (v) the filing fees payable to the Commission and to FINRA; (vi) the preparation and printing of advertising material in connection with and relating to the Offering, including the cost of all sales literature approved by the Company or the Dealer Manager; (vii) the cost and expenses of counsel and accountants of the Company; (viii) the transportation, lodging, graphics, and other expenses related to the Company’s preparation and participation in the Managed Offering roadshow; and (ix) fees and expenses of the transfer agent and registrar.

(b) Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total compensation paid to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx from the Company and the Dealer Manager in connection with the Offering pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof and this Section 6 shall not exceed the limitations prescribed by FINRA Rule 2310. The Company, the Dealer Manager and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agree to monitor the payment of all fees and expense reimbursements to assure that FINRA limitations are not exceeded. Accordingly, if at any time during the term of the Offering, the Company determines in good faith that any payment to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx pursuant to this Agreement could result in a violation of the applicable FINRA regulations, the Company shall promptly notify Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, and the Company and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx agree to cooperate with each other to implement such measures as they determine are necessary to ensure continued compliance with applicable FINRA regulations. However, nothing in this Agreement shall relieve Xxxxxxx Xxxxx of its obligations to comply with FINRA Rule 2310.
28

31
(iii) any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any supplemental sales material (whether designated for broker-dealer use or otherwise), including any electronic road shows, approved by the Company for use by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when read in conjunction with the Prospectus delivered therewith or prior thereto, not misleading;

32
(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 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 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein (collectively, “Losses”), except by reason of the terms thereof, the Issuer Entities on the one hand and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 of the Issuer Entities, on the one hand, and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on the other from the Offering based on the public offering price of the Shares sold and the Dealer Manager Fees, Primary Dealer Fee and due diligence expense reimbursements received by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 Issuer Entities, on the one hand and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 Issuer Entities, on the one hand and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 Issuer Entities and their affiliates for the purchase of Shares sold by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and (ii) total proceeds from the Offering (net of Dealer Manager Fees, Primary Dealer Fee, and due diligence expense reimbursements paid to
33
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx but before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of Shares by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx bears to (b) the Dealer Manager Fees, Primary Dealer Fee, and due diligence expense reimbursements retained by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. 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 an Issuer Entity, on the one hand or Xxxxxxx Xxxxx on the other. The Company agrees with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 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), Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx were offered to the subscribers exceeds the amount of any damages which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x contribution to the liability exceed the net aggregate Dealer Manager Fees, Primary Dealer Fee, due diligence expense reimbursements and any other compensation retained by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx 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 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same right to contribution as Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, 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 Sections 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 of this Agreement.

(b) Additionally, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time during the Effective Term without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 10(c) hereof if: (i) any representations or warranties of any Issuer Entity hereunder shall be found to have been incorrect; or (ii) any Issuer Entity shall fail, refuse or be unable to perform any condition of its obligations hereunder, or (iii) the Prospectus shall have been amended or supplemented despite Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x objection to such amendment or supplement, or (iv) the United States shall have become involved in a war or major hostilities or a material escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or other national or international calamity or crisis (other than hostilities including Iraq and Afghanistan); or (v) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by a state or federal authority or person; or (vi) the Company shall have sustained a material or substantial loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not said loss shall have been insured, will in Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x good faith opinion make it inadvisable
34
to proceed with the offering and sale of the Class I Shares; or (vii) there shall have been, subsequent to the dates information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, such change in the business, properties, affairs, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company whether or not in the ordinary course of business or in the condition of securities markets generally as in Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’x good faith judgment would make it inadvisable to proceed with the offering and sale of the Shares, or which would materially adversely affect the operations of the Company.
(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. Following the termination of the Offering, in no event will the Company be liable to reimburse Xxxxxxx Xxxxx for expenses other than as set forth in the previous sentence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be assigned without the consent of the parties hereto.

16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction.
