The Amendment made revisions to the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement as a result of comments issued by securities regulators from various states in connection with their “blue sky” review of the Company’s offering, which include the following, in pertinent part:

 

·Section 5.8.1 was added to clarify that investor suitability standards include fiduciary accounts.

 

·Section 6.1. was amended to clarify that, as allowed under state law, stockholders may amend the Articles of Incorporation following a determination by the board of directors that such amendment is advisable.

 

·Section 7.2 was amended to provide that the Company will not incur the cost of the portion of liability insurance which insures the Adviser for any liability as to which the Adviser is prohibited from being indemnified.

 

·Section 8.3 was amended to provide that in the event the Adviser terminates the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser, the Adviser shall pay all direct expenses incurred as a direct result of its withdrawal.

 

·Section 10.7 was added to provide that the Company may not acquire assets in exchange for capital stock of the Company without approval of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors.

 

·Section 10.8 was added to provide that the Company shall not grant or entitle the Adviser an exclusive right to sell or exclusive employment to sell assets for the Company.

 

·Section 10.9 was added to provide that the Company shall cause the Adviser to agree to not accept rebates, kickbacks and reciprocal arrangements in contravention of state or federal securities law.

 

·Section 10.10 was added to provide that the Company shall cause the Adviser to covenant that it will not commingle the Company’s funds with the funds of any other entity.

 

·Section 11.1 was modified to clarify that stockholders may amend the Articles of Incorporation without the necessity for concurrence by the Adviser.

 

·Section 11.5 was added to provide that the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board may call a special meeting of the stockholders, and subject to the Company’s Bylaws, the Secretary of the Company shall call a special meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting.

 

 
 

  

·Article XIII was amended to include definitions for Cash Available for Distribution, Cash Flow, and Initial Public Offering.
