Obligations
and Compensation of Participating
Broker.
|
(a) The
Dealer Manager hereby appoints you as a distributor during the Offering Period
(as defined in Section 3(b) for the purpose of finding, on a best efforts basis,
purchasers for the Shares for cash. You hereby accept such agency and
distributorship and agree to use your best efforts to find purchasers for the
Shares on said terms and conditions, commencing as soon as
practicable.
(b) The
“Offering Period” shall
mean that period during which Shares may be offered for sale, commencing on the
date the registration was made effective by the SEC, during which period offers
and sales of the Shares shall occur continuously in the jurisdictions in which the Shares
are registered or qualified or exempt from registration (as confirmed in writing
by the Company to the Dealer Manager) unless and until the Offering is
terminated as provided herein, except that you shall suspend or terminate
offering of the Shares upon request of the Company or the Dealer Manager at any
time and shall resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company
or the Dealer Manager. The Offering Period shall in all events terminate upon
the sale of all of the Shares. Upon termination of the Offering Period, your
agency and this Agreement shall terminate without obligation on your part or the
part of the Dealer Manager or the Company except as set forth in this
Agreement.
2
Exhibit
1.2
(c) Except
as may be provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as
compensation for the services rendered by you, the Dealer Manager agrees that it
will pay to you selling commissions as follows (based on a selling price of
$10.00 per Share):
Selling
Commissions
|
||||
Primary Offering
|
DRP
Offering
|
|||
7%
|
0%
|
If you
and the investor agree, the selling commissions can be paid on a deferred basis
for Shares sold in the primary offering. In these instances, the Company will
sell the Shares at a reduced price as set forth above and the Dealer Manager
will pay you a correspondingly reduced sales commission at the time of sale. The
balance of the normal commission would be paid by the Company to the Dealer
Manager and by the Dealer Manager to you over six years for Shares sold in the
primary offering out of the dividends or other distributions that are declared
and paid with respect to the reduced-priced shares sold through you. The amount
by which by the investor’s dividends or other distributions are reduced in these
cases would be paid by the Company as deferred commissions to the Dealer Manager
and by the Dealer Manager to you.
As an
example, investors electing the deferred commission option for Shares purchased
in the primary offering will pay, on the date of purchase, $9.40 per Share
(which includes a commission of $0.10 per Share). For a period of six years
following the date of purchase, an additional $0.10 per Share will be deducted
annually from dividends or other cash distributions otherwise payable to the
investor and will be used to pay deferred commissions. The net proceeds to the
Company will not be affected by the election of the deferred commission option.
Under this arrangement, an investor electing the deferred commission option will
pay a 1% commission upon subscription, rather than a 7% commission, and an
amount equal to a 1% commission per year thereafter for the next six years, or
longer if required to satisfy outstanding deferred commission obligations, will
be deducted from dividends or other cash distributions otherwise payable to such
stockholder. The Company may also use other deferred commission structures, but
the Company will not pay total commissions in excess of 7% of the offering price
of the Shares.
If at any
time prior to the satisfaction of the Company’s remaining deferred commission
obligations, the Company decides to list its common stock for trading on
national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market or other over-the-counter
market, or the Company begins a liquidation of its properties, the Company may
accelerate the remaining commissions due under the deferred commission option.
To the extent that the distributions prior to listing are insufficient to
satisfy the remaining commissions due, the obligations of the Company and the
investor to pay any further deferred commissions will terminate, and the Dealer
Manager and you will not be entitled to receive any further portion of their
deferred commissions following listing of the Company’s common
stock.
In
addition, if an investor that has elected the deferred commission option decides
to participate in the Company’s share redemption program or requests that the
Company transfer such stockholder’s Shares for any reason prior to the time that
the remaining deferred selling commissions have been deducted from such
stockholder’s cash distributions, the Company will accelerate the selling
commissions due under the Deferred Commission Option as set forth in the
Prospectus.

for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Participating Broker
may otherwise have.

Exhibit
1.2
(f) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 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 6,
notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof. The
failure of an indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 6 as to the
particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any
other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. 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
(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. Any indemnified party shall not
be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of
any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such
indemnified party.
(g) The
indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified
party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more
than one law firm 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 selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which
such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified
parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be
reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first
law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or
claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by
such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account
of legal services performed by another law firm.
