The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an effective registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-181777), for the registration of up to $2,760,000,000 in Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”). The registration statement, as amended, and the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, on file with the Commission at the Effective Date (as defined below) of the registration statement (including financial statements, exhibits and all other documents related thereto filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein), and any registration statement filed under Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act, are respectively hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus,” except that if the Registration Statement is amended by a post-effective amendment, the term “Registration Statement” shall, from and after the declaration of effectiveness of such post-effective amendment, refer to the Registration Statement as so

amended and the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented to date, and if any Prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Regulations shall differ from the Prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment shall become effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the Prospectus filed pursuant to either Rule 424(b) or 424(c) from and after the date on which it shall have been filed with the Commission. Further, if a separate registration statement is filed and becomes effective with respect solely to the DRIP (a “DRIP Registration Statement”), the term “Registration Statement” shall refer to such DRIP Registration Statement from and after the declaration of effectiveness of such DRIP Registration Statement, as such registration statement may be amended or supplemented from time to time. If a separate prospectus is filed and becomes effective with respect solely to the DRIP (a “DRIP Prospectus”), the term “Prospectus” shall refer to such DRIP Prospectus from and after the declaration of effectiveness of such DRIP Prospectus, as such prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

(b)Compliance with the Securities Act. The Registration Statement has been prepared and filed by the Company and has been declared effective by the Commission and is effective in the states indicated in the Blue Sky Memorandum (defined in Section 4(d) herein), as updated from time to time pursuant to the terms of Section 4(d). Neither the Commission nor any such state securities authority has issued any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus filed with the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted, or to the Company’s knowledge, are threatened or contemplated by the Commission or by any of the state securities authorities. At the time the Registration Statement first became effective (the “Effective Date”) and at the time that any post-effective amendments thereto or any additional registration statement filed under Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act becomes effective, the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (1) complied, or will comply, as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Regulations and (2) did not or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. When the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or 424(c) of the Regulations and at all times subsequent thereto through the date on which the Offering is terminated (“Termination Date”), the Prospectus will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Regulations, and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(mm)

Valuation. General. The Company’s Board of Directors will value its shares consistent with FINRA requirements and this Section 2(mm), and shall disclose such value in the Registration Statement, Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and/or in a Form 8-K (collectively referred to as “SEC Disclosure Documents”) filed with the Commission and in the Annual Report sent to investors in accordance with regulatory requirements. At a minimum, the Company will provide a per share value based on the fair value of the Company’s assets less liabilities under market conditions existing as of the date of valuation, as set forth in the financial statements of the Company most recently filed with the Commission, referred to as Net Asset Value (“NAV”), and assuming the allocation of the resulting NAV among the Company’s common shareholders, to arrive at a Net Asset Value Per Share (“Per Share NAV”). Notwithstanding that generally accepted accounting principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“GAAP”) generally require the fair value of real estate to reflect the price received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and not on an ongoing basis, the NAV will be determined in a manner consistent with the methods and principles used to determine fair value under generally accepted accounting principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, primarily as set forth in ASC 820, and the International Accounting Standards Board (as applicable), and consistent with the methodology set forth in Exhibit C. The Board of Directors of the Company will appoint the Conflicts Committee or another committee comprised of a majority of independent directors of the REIT that will be responsible for oversight of the valuation process (“Valuation Committee”), subject to the final approval of the Company’s Board.

Independent Valuation Firm. The Company, with the approval of the Valuation Committee and the Board, will engage an independent third-party firm/s (the “Independent Valuation Firm/s”) for valuation purposes, provided, however, Company will consult in advance with and thereafter notify Ameriprise in writing prior to the engagement of an Independent Valuation Firm. However, for the avoidance of doubt, the engagement of the Independent Valuation Firm shall be the sole responsibility of the Company.

Independent Valuations. The valuation by the Independent Valuation Firm will be determined at the earlier of (i) the commencement of a follow-on offering, or (ii) the second quarter following the close of the initial offering, but in no event later than two years and two quarters after the effective date of the initial offering, and such other timing as the SEC may require or which may be necessary for Ameriprise to comply with FINRA requirements. Thereafter, the Company shall have the Independent Valuation Firm perform a valuation no less frequently than every other year (i.e. the Independent Valuation Firm shall conduct a valuation at least every two (2) years).

As part of each valuation performed, the Independent Valuation Firm will obtain a new appraisal, utilizing recognized industry standards prescribed by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) or the similar industry standard for the country where the property appraisal is

conducted, of each of the real estate properties and assign a discrete value for each such property pursuant to the methodology set forth in Exhibit C. All appraisals shall be conducted by appraisers possessing a Member Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) or similar designation or, for international appraisals, a public certified expert for real estate valuations, qualified to perform and oversee the appraisal work of the scope and nature described on Exhibit C. All appraisals shall be conducted on the basis of the discounted cash flow approach, the income capitalization approach, the sales comparison approach or the cost approach, using whichever approaches and timing assumptions as are deemed the most appropriate by the Independent Valuation Firm based on the highest and best use of the properties being appraised, which method(s) shall be disclosed in the Company’s SEC Disclosure Documents.

Interim Valuations. In each year between required independent valuations, the Board of Directors shall, at its option, either (i) engage an Independent Valuation Firm to conduct an independent valuation in accordance with the procedures set forth under “Independent Valuations” above; or (ii) provide a valuation, which is reviewed and confirmed by the Independent Valuation Firm (“Interim Valuations”). The role of the Independent Valuation Firm shall include a review and confirmation of each of the following items relating to the Interim Valuation:


•	the reasonableness of the valuation process and methodology and conformity with real estate industry standards and practices relating to valuations;

•

the reasonableness of the assumptions and data used in connection with the valuation of each real estate investment, including but not limited to rental rates, tenant improvements and concessions, lease renewal and option exercise probabilities, revenue and expense growth rates, going-in and residual capitalization rates, discount rates, and other assumptions and data deemed material to the valuation; and


•	the reasonableness of the final real estate investment valuation assigned by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Reports.

For all valuations, the Company will obtain from the Independent Valuation Firm a written report, which shall set forth a summary analysis of the Independent Valuation Firm’s process and methodology undertaken in the valuation, a description of the scope of the reviews performed and any limitations thereto, the data and assumptions used for the review, the applicable industry standards used for the valuation, any other matters related to the valuation analysis and a conclusion as to a reasonable range of NAV and Per Share NAV.

Upon the issuance of the Independent Valuation Firm’s report to Company, as part of Ameriprise’s on-going due diligence review of Company, the Company will immediately notify Ameriprise and thereafter, subject to Ameriprise’s execution and delivery to the Company and the Independent Valuation Firm of a non-disclosure agreement, substantially consistent with the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, provide Ameriprise with access to and sufficient time to review supporting materials related to the Independent Valuation report, which includes, but may not be limited to, the data and assumptions used for the review and the appraisals of each of the real estate properties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the final determination of NAV and Per Share NAV shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and the Board of Directors. To the extent the valuation provided by the Independent Valuation Firm is different from the valuation assigned by the Board of Directors and disclosed by the Company, the Company will provide an explanation in its SEC Disclosure Documents as defined below.

In addition, immediately following the final determination and disclosure of the NAV and Per

Share NAV by the Company, the Company will send a copy of the Independent Valuation Firm’s report to Ameriprise and schedule a reasonable number of meetings or teleconferences with the Independent Valuation Firm so that Ameriprise may perform its on-going due diligence review of Company.

Disclosure. A valuation will be reported in the SEC Disclosure Documents filed with the Commission and in the Annual Report sent to investors with sufficient narrative disclosure to meet FINRA regulatory requirements and in a clear and concise manner so as to be understood by the average investor. In addition, if Company has knowledge of a material impairment or appreciation, or a material other-than-temporary change in the value of any real property or real estate related asset which would result in a material change in the NAV or Per Share NAV, then the Company shall consider such change prior to the issuance of a valuation and shall otherwise file such SEC Disclosure Documents as required.

Notwithstanding any agreements to the contrary, nothing shall preclude Ameriprise from taking any action, such as suspending sales of any offering or withholding disclosure of Per Share NAV on its account statements, on the basis of the due diligence review of the valuation materials and the Independent Valuation Firm’s report. Following the Company’s disclosure of the valuation the SEC Disclosure Documents, and subject to the fair disclosure requirements of Regulation FD and the provisions of any non-disclosure agreement between Ameriprise and the Independent Valuation Firm, nothing shall preclude Ameriprise from providing the name of the Independent Valuation Firm and/or a summary of its review to its clients and/or its financial advisors. In no event will the Company engage in a follow-on offering or any subsequent offering of non-listed securities without first performing and disclosing an independent valuation. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(mm), the Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall cooperate with, provide access to, and afford sufficient time in advance for Ameriprise to conduct its on-going due diligence review of Company from the effective date of this Agreement through the date of a merger, listing of its shares on an exchange or other similar significant event.

Policies and Certification. The Company has designed and will implement policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with this Section 2(mm), and will provide Ameriprise with a copy of those policies and procedures. In no event will the Company change such policies and procedures without prior written notice to Ameriprise. In addition, the Company will briefly describe its valuation policies and procedures, including the role and responsibilities of the Independent Valuation Firm, in its Form S-11, amendments thereto or other offering materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(nn) Disclosure of Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations. The Company will include in its Annual Report sent to investors and in its SEC Disclosure Documents filed with the SEC the following performance measures: Funds From Operations using the definition and protocols established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, and Modified Funds From Operations using the definition found in the Investment Program Association Practice Guideline 2010-01, each as amended from time-to-time. The Company has designed and will implement policies reasonably designed to ensure compliance with this Section 2(nn), and will provide Ameriprise with a copy of those policies. In no event will the Company change such policies without prior written notice to Ameriprise.

3. Sale of Shares

(a) Purchase of Shares. On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby appoints Ameriprise as a Selected Dealer for the Shares during the period from the date hereof to the Termination Date (the “Effective Term”), including the Shares to be issued pursuant to the DRIP, each in the manner described in the Registration Statement. 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, Ameriprise agrees to use its best efforts, during the Effective Term, to offer and sell such number of Shares as contemplated by this Agreement at the price stated in the Prospectus, as the same may be adjusted from time to time.

The purchase of Shares must be made during the offering period described in the Prospectus, or after such offering period in the case of purchases made pursuant to the DRIP (each such purchase hereinafter defined as an “Order”). Persons desiring to purchase Shares are required to (i) deliver to Ameriprise a check in the amount of $10.68 per Share purchased (subject to certain volume discounts or other discounts as described in the Prospectus, or such other per share price as may be applicable pursuant to the DRIP, or such other per share price as is disclosed from time to time in the Registration Statement or Prospectus) payable to Ameriprise, or (ii) authorize a debit of such amount to the account such purchaser maintains with Ameriprise. An order form as mutually agreed upon by Ameriprise and the Company substantially similar to the form of subscription agreement attached to the Prospectus (each an “Order Form”) must be completed and submitted to the Company for all investors. The Dealer Manager and American Enterprise Investment Services, Inc. (“AEIS”), an affiliate of Ameriprise, are parties to that certain Alternative Investment Product Networking Services Agreement, dated _________, as amended (the “AIP Networking Agreement”), pursuant to which the broker-controlled accounts of Ameriprise’s customers that invest in the Company will be processed and serviced. The parties acknowledge that any receipt by Ameriprise 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.

All Orders solicited by Ameriprise will be strictly subject to review and acceptance by the Company and the Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to reject any Order or to accept or reject Orders in the order of their receipt by the Company or otherwise. Within 30 days of receipt of an Order, the Company must accept or reject such Order. If the Company elects to reject such Order, within 10 business days after such rejection, it will notify the purchaser and Ameriprise of such fact and cause the return of such purchaser’s funds submitted with such application. If Ameriprise receives no notice of rejection within the foregoing time limits, the Order shall be deemed accepted. Ameriprise agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts 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, financial situation and investment objectives. Ameriprise 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. Orders shall be submitted as contemplated by Section 12 of the Dealer Manager Agreement and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Shares will be issued as described in the Prospectus. Share issuance dates for purchases made pursuant to the DRIP will be as set forth in the DRIP.

(c) Dealers. The Shares offered and sold under this Agreement shall be offered and sold only by Ameriprise, a member in good standing of FINRA. The Issuer Entities and affiliates thereof

agree to participate in Ameriprise’s marketing efforts to the extent that Ameriprise may reasonably request and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agree to visit Ameriprise’s offices as Ameriprise may reasonably request.

(d) Compensation. In consideration for Ameriprise’s execution of this Agreement, and for the performance of Ameriprise’s obligations hereunder, the Dealer Manager agrees to pay or cause to be paid to Ameriprise a selling commission (the “Selling Commission”) of six and one half percent ($0.65 based on $10.68 price per share) of the price of each Share (except for Shares sold pursuant to the DRIP) sold by Ameriprise; provided, however, that Ameriprise’s Selling Commission shall be reduced with respect to volume sales of Shares to single purchasers (as defined in the Prospectus) and as otherwise set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus. In the case of such volume sales to single purchasers, on orders of $1,000,000 or more, Ameriprise’s Selling Commission shall be reduced by the amount of the Share purchase price discount. In the case of such volume sales to single purchasers, Ameriprise’s Selling Commission and the investor’s purchase price will be reduced for the entire share purchases, in the total volume ranges set forth in the table below. Such reduced share price will not affect the amount received by the Company for investment. The following table sets forth the reduced Share purchase price and Selling Commission payable to Ameriprise:






	Volume Discount Range for a Single Purchaser
	From		To	Purchase Price Per share To investor	Selling Commission Per Share (based on $10.68 price per share)
$	0	$	999,999	$10.6800	6.5%
$	1,000,000	$	1,999,999	$10.5732	5.5%
$	2,000,000	$	2,999,999	$10.4664	4.5%
$	3,000,000	$	3,999,999	$10.3062	3.5%
$	4,000,000	$	9,999,999	$10.1460	2.0%
$	10,000,000		and above	$9.9858	1.0%

For example, a purchase of 250,000 shares in a single transaction would result in a purchase price of $2,616,600 ($10.4664 per share), Selling Commissions of $120,150 and dealer manager fees of $80,100.

For purposes of determining investors eligible for volume discounts, to the extent consistent with the definition of “single purchaser” contained in the Prospectus, investments made by accounts with the same primary account holder, as determined by the account tax identification number, may be combined. This includes individual accounts and joint accounts that have the same primary holder as an individual account. Investments made through individual retirement accounts may also be combined with accounts that have the same tax identification number as the beneficiary of the individual retirement account. In the event Orders are combined, the commission payable with respect to the subsequent purchase of Shares will equal the commission per share which would have been payable in accordance with the table set forth above if all purchases had been made simultaneously. Any reduction of the Selling Commission otherwise payable to Ameriprise will be credited to the purchaser as additional Shares. Unless purchasers, or Ameriprise, on behalf of purchasers, indicate that Orders are to be combined and provide

all other requested information, the Company will not be held responsible for failing to combine Orders properly.

The Company expects the dealer manager to authorize other broker-dealers that are members of FINRA, which the Company refers to as participating broker-dealers, to sell the Company's shares. Except as provided in the Prospectus, the dealer manager will reallow all of its selling commissions attributable to a participating broker-dealer. The Company may also sell shares at a discount to the primary offering price of $10.68 per share through the following distribution channels in the event that the investor: pays a broker a single fee, e.g., a percentage of assets under management, for investment advisory and broker services, which is frequently referred to as a “wrap fee”; has engaged the services of a registered investment adviser with whom the investor has agreed to pay compensation for investment advisory services or other financial or investment advice (other than a registered investment adviser that is also registered as a broker-dealer who does not have a fixed or “wrap fee” feature or other asset fee arrangement with the investor); or is investing through a bank acting as trustee or fiduciary. The Company will not pay any selling commissions in connection with sales through these channels.

The Dealer Manager will also re-allow to Ameriprise out of its dealer manager fee a marketing fee of up to two percent (2%) of the full price of each Share (except for Shares sold pursuant to the DRIP) sold by Ameriprise (the “Marketing Fee”); provided however, the Company will not pay Ameriprise a Marketing Fee if the aggregate underwriting compensation to be paid to all parties in connection with the Offering exceeds the limitations prescribed by FINRA.

Further, in the case of volume sales to single purchasers, Ameriprise’s Marketing Fee shall be reduced for the entire share purchases as set forth in the table below:



	Volume Discount Range for a Single Purchaser
	From		To	Dealer Manager Fee (based on $10.68 price per share)	Marketing Fee reallowed to Ameriprise (based on $10.68 price per share)
$	0	$	999,999	3.0%	2.0%
$	1,000,000	$	1,999,999	3.0%	2.0%
$	2,000,000	$	2,999,999	3.0%	2.0%
$	3,000,000	$	3,999,999	2.5%	1.5%
$	4,000,000	$	9,999,999	2.5%	1.5%
$	10,000,000		and above	2.0%	1.0%

No payment of Selling Commissions or the Marketing Fee will be made in respect of Orders (or portions thereof) which are rejected by the Company. As noted in Section 3(a) above, Ameriprise shall transfer to the Transfer Agent the total amount debited from such investor accounts for the purchase of Shares, net of the Selling Commission payable to Ameriprise Financial. The Marketing Fee will be paid via Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment initiated by the Dealer Manager on the second business day following the week in which the dealer manager fee on the applicable Shares sold by Ameriprise is received by the Dealer Manager. Selling Commissions and the Marketing Fee will be payable only with respect to transactions lawful in the jurisdictions where they occur. Purchases of Shares by the Company, Ameriprise or its or their respective affiliates or any of their respective directors, trustees, officers and employees shall be net of commissions. Ameriprise affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for Selling Commissions and the Marketing Fee payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions and the dealer manager fee, respectively, receivable from the Company, and Ameriprise hereby waives any and

all rights to receive payment of Selling Commissions and the Marketing Fee due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission and dealer manager fee, respectively, from the Company.

No selling commissions or Marketing Fee shall be paid to Ameriprise for purchases made by an investor pursuant to the DRIP.

The Company will pay or cause to be paid to Ameriprise, the amount of any bona fide, itemized, separately invoiced due diligence expenses consistent with the language in the Prospectus and applicable regulations and FINRA rules.

Except for offers and sales of Shares to the Company’s officers and directors, to officers and affiliates of the Advisor, to or through registered investment advisers or a bank acting as a trustee or fiduciary, through the friends and family program or any other arrangements described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Company represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates have offered or sold, and agrees that, through the Termination Date, the Company will not offer or sell any Shares otherwise than through the Dealer Manager as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement, Ameriprise as herein provided, and the selected dealers other than Ameriprise as provided in the Selected Dealer Agreements.

(e) Calculation of Fees. Ameriprise will have sole responsibility, and Ameriprise’s records will provide the sole basis, for calculating fees for which Ameriprise invoices under this Agreement. However, the Issuer Entities may provide records to assist Ameriprise in its calculations.

(f) Finders Fee. Neither the Company nor Ameriprise shall, directly or indirectly, pay or award any finder’s fees, commissions or other compensation to any person engaged by a potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to advise the purchase of Shares; provided, however, that normal Selling Commissions payable to a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed person for selling Shares shall not be prohibited hereby.

4.Covenants. Each Issuer Entity, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees with Ameriprise that it will:

(a) Commission Orders. Use its best efforts to cause any amendments to the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as possible and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and will promptly notify Ameriprise and confirm the notice in writing if requested, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any jurisdiction of any stop order or of the initiation, or the threatening (for which it has knowledge), of any proceedings for that purpose or of the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or of the institution or threatening (for which it has knowledge) of any proceedings for any of such purposes, (iii) of the receipt of any material comments from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or any other filings, (iv) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement as filed or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto and (v) if the Registration Statement becomes unavailable for use in connection with the Offering of the Shares for any reason. Each of the Company and the Dealer Manager will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance by the Commission of a stop order or a suspension order and if the Commission shall enter a stop order or suspension order at any time, each of the Company and the Dealer Manager will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall not accept any order for Shares during the effectiveness of any stop order or if the Registration Statement becomes unavailable for use in connection with the Offering of the Shares for any reason.

(b) Registration Statement. Deliver to Ameriprise without charge promptly after the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto becomes effective, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented), the Registration Statement and supplements and amendments thereto, if any (without exhibits), as Ameriprise may reasonably request. Unless Ameriprise is otherwise notified in writing by the Company; the Company hereby consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by Ameriprise both in connection with the Offering and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus is required to be delivered in connection therewith.

(c) “Blue Sky” Qualifications.

(d) Sale of Shares. Ameriprise shall solicit purchasers of the Shares only in the jurisdictions in which Ameriprise has been advised by the Company (including pursuant to the Blue Sky Memorandum, and any updates thereto, delivered to Ameriprise pursuant to Section 4(d)) that such solicitations can be made and in which Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise may 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 Ameriprise in quantities reasonably requested by Ameriprise; (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 and investor and broker-dealer sales and information meetings; (vii) the cost and expenses of counsel and accountants of the Company; and (viii) subject to Section 6(d), and as mutually agreed upon, Ameriprise’s costs of technology associated with the offering, other costs and expenses related to such technology costs, and the facilitation of the marketing of the Shares and the ownership of such Shares by Ameriprise’s customers, including fees to attend Company-sponsored conferences; and (ix) any other expenses of issuance and distribution of the Shares.

(b) Ad Hoc Requests. From time to time, the Issuer Entities may make requests that can reasonably be regarded as being related to but separate from the services contemplated by this Agreement (the “Services”) or that otherwise fall outside the ordinary course of business relationships such as the one contemplated under this Agreement (“Ad Hoc Requests”). Examples of Ad Hoc Requests include, but are not limited to, requests that would require Ameriprise to implement information technology modifications, participate in or respond to audits, inspections or compliance reviews, or respond to or comply with document requests. To the extent that Ameriprise’s compliance with an Ad Hoc Request would cause Ameriprise to incur additional material expenses, the Company and Ameriprise will mutually agree as to the payment of such expenses between the parties. Ameriprise reserves the right to refuse to comply with an Ad Hoc Request if the parties are unable to reach an agreement on payment of reasonable expenses unless payment of such expenses would violate FINRA rules and provided that consent to an agreement has not been unreasonably withheld; it being understood that consent shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld if the payment for such Ad Hoc Requests, individually or when aggregated with other amounts to be paid to Ameriprise pursuant to this Agreement, would violate FINRA rules. Payment for Ad Hoc Requests will be separate from and above the payments for the Services but shall be included as applicable, when calculating total compensation paid to Ameriprise for purposes of the limitations described in Section 6(c) hereof.

(c) Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total compensation paid to Ameriprise from the Issuer Entities in connection with the Offering pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof and this Section 6 shall not exceed the limitations prescribed by FINRA. The Company, the Dealer Manager and Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise pursuant to this Agreement could result in a violation of the applicable FINRA regulations, the Company shall promptly notify Ameriprise, and the Company and Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise of its obligations to comply with FINRA Rule 2310.

(i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained: (i) in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented) or any related preliminary prospectus; (ii) in any application or other document (in this Section 8 collectively called “application”) executed by an Issuer Entity or based upon information furnished by an Issuer Entity and filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the Shares under the securities laws thereof, or in any amendment or supplement thereto; or (iii) in the Company’s periodic reports such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K; provided however that no Issuer Entity shall be liable in any such case to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to an Issuer Entity by Ameriprise expressly for use in the Registration Statement or related preliminary prospectus or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof or in any of such applications or in any such sales as the case may be;

(ii) the omission or alleged omission from (i) the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (as from time to time amended or supplemented); (ii) any applications; or (iii) the Company’s periodic reports such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; provided however that no Issuer Entity shall be liable in any such case to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by Ameriprise expressly for use in the Registration Statement or related preliminary prospectus or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereof or in any of such applications or in any such sales as the case may be;

(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) approved by the Company for use by Ameriprise 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 not misleading;

(iv) any communication regarding the valuation of the Shares provided by or on behalf of the Company; and

(v) the breach by any Issuer Entity or any employee or agent acting on their behalf, of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification by an Issuer Entity of Ameriprise or each person, if any, who controls Ameriprise within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents or its officers, directors or control persons, pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be permitted under this Agreement for, or arising out of, an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (1) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee; (2) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; or (3) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee and finds that indemnification of

the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(b) Indemnification by Ameriprise. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Ameriprise agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Issuer Entity, each of their directors and trustees, those of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each other person, if any, who controls an Issuer Entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from an Issuer Entity contained in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement (as from time to time amended or supplemented) or Prospectus, or any related preliminary prospectus, or any application made in reliance upon or, in conformity with, written information furnished by Ameriprise expressly for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any related preliminary prospectus or in any of such applications.

(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 reasonable 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 Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise on the other from the Offering based on the public offering price of the Shares sold and the Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees and due diligence expense reimbursements received by Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise and (ii) total proceeds from the Offering (net of Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees and due diligence expense reimbursements paid to Ameriprise but before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of Shares by Ameriprise bears to (b) the Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees and due diligence expense reimbursements retained by Ameriprise. 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 Ameriprise on the other. The Company agrees with Ameriprise 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), Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise were offered to the subscribers exceeds the amount of any damages which Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise’s contribution to the liability exceed the aggregate Selling Commissions, Marketing Fees, due diligence expense reimbursements and any other compensation retained by Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same right to contribution as Ameriprise, 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, Ameriprise 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 Ameriprise’s 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 Ameriprise’s good faith opinion make it inadvisable to proceed with the offering and sale of the 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 Ameriprise’s 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 Ameriprise for expenses other than as set forth in the previous sentence and Ameriprise’s actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred following the termination of the Offering, including, without limitation, the cost of data transmissions and other related client transmissions.

(d) If Ameriprise elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10, Ameriprise shall notify the Company promptly by telephone or facsimile with confirmation by letter.

Exhibit C

Definition of Fair Value: the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date.

Methodology:

Step 1: Determination of Gross Asset /Investment Value:

Notwithstanding that generally accepted accounting principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“GAAP”) generally require the fair value of real estate to reflect the price received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and not on an ongoing basis, establish the fair value of individual real properties and real estate-related assets with assistance of third-party appraisers or valuation experts consistent with the methods and principles used to determine fair value under generally accepted accounting principles of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, primarily as set forth in ASC 820, and the International Accounting Standards Board (as applicable). Allocate to the Company the fair value of assets and liabilities related to its investment interests in joint ventures and non-wholly-owned subsidiaries based on the net fair value of such entities’ assets less liabilities and the provisions of the joint venture/subsidiary agreements relating to the allocation of economic interest between the parties in accordance with GAAP.

Establish the fair value of any other tangible and/or intangible assets in accordance with GAAP. For this purpose, cash, receivables, and certain prepaid expenses and other current assets which have defined and quantifiable future value should be included to the extent consistent with GAAP. Assets with future value may include but are not necessarily limited to, prepaid expenses and taxes, acquisition deposits and pre-paid rental income where not otherwise accounted for in the determination of fair values of real estate and real estate-related assets. Intangible assets to be excluded may include, but are not limited to, deferred financing costs and all assets/liabilities required by SFAS 141.

Where the Company holds material non-real estate related assets, liabilities or investment interests, Ameriprise requires the valuation of such assets, liabilities, or investment interests for the purpose of determining Per Share NAV be developed or reviewed by the Company’s Independent Appraiser or third-party accountants.

Step 2: Determination of Liabilities:

Current Liabilities – GAAP book value when it approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt – fair value (“marked to market”) of debt maturing in one year or more.

Minority interests – based on allocation of fair value of assets less liabilities of the joint venture based on the provisions of the joint venture agreement.

Liabilities required by SFAS 141 and liabilities already included in the valuation of real estate or the fair value of other liabilities (e.g., accrued property taxes included in a discounted cash flow valuation and accrued interest expense included in the fair value of a loan) shall be excluded from the valuation.

Step 3: Incentive Fee Adjustments:

Calculate and deduct: (i) any net asset value allocable to preferred securities; and (ii) any estimated incentive fees, participations, or special interests held by or allocable to the sponsor, advisor, management or general partner based on Aggregate NAV of the Company and payable at the time of a hypothetical liquidation of the Company as of the valuation date in accordance with the provisions of the partnership

or advisory agreements and the terms of the preferred securities.

Step 4: Determination of Per Share Amount:

Divide the resulting value of the Company allocable to common shareholders by the number of common shares outstanding (fully diluted). Note: In the above example, disposition costs and fees and debt prepayment penalties or the impact of restriction on assumption of debt are not deducted in estimating NAV.

Exhibit D

ACCESS AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

This Access and Confidentiality Agreement (“Agreement”) is made on this ____ day of _____________, 2013 by and among (“Valuation Firm”), having a place of business at ; (“Appraisal Firm”), having a place of business at ; and Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. (“Recipient”) having a place of business at _________________________________________.

Valuation Firm has been engaged (the “Engagement”) by (“REIT”) to assist REIT with developing estimated net asset value (“NAV”) and per share NAV for one or more real estate investment trusts sponsored by REIT and its affiliates (“REITs and Affiliates”). To assist in the Engagement, Appraisal Firm has been engaged by Valuation Firm to provide appraisals for commercial real estate properties of REIT. At REIT’s direction, Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm will be making available to Recipient certain information that is trade secret, proprietary, confidential and/or sensitive information of Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates comprised of or relating to work product prepared in connection with the Engagement, including, but not limited to appraisals performed by Appraisal Firm, analyses, reports, work papers, communications or other information (the “Supporting Materials”). Specifically, Valuation Firm will make available to Recipient the written valuation reports (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Supporting Materials) prepared pursuant to the Engagement, which valuation reports will describe the scope of the Engagement, the reviews performed and any limitations thereto, and include certain value determinations and summary analyses of Valuation Firm which support its REIT valuations (the “Valuation Reports”) (collectively, “Confidential Information”). To ensure the protection of such Confidential Information and in consideration of the Recipient's intent to complete a due-diligence investigation of REITs and Affiliates, the parties agree as follows:

5. Neither party is required to disclose any particular information to the other and any disclosure is entirely voluntary and is not intended to, and shall not, create or modify any contractual or other relationship or obligation of any kind between the parties beyond the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, neither this Agreement, nor any transfer of Confidential Information under it, shall be construed as creating, conveying, transferring, granting or conferring upon the other, any rights, including, but not limited to intellectual property rights, license or authority in or to the information exchanged.

6. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the transfer of Confidential Information hereunder shall not commit or bind either party to enter into any other particular contract or any other business arrangement.

7. Recipient agrees to use the Confidential Information to review Valuation Firm’s valuation of REIT securities. However, for the avoidance of doubt, the final determination of NAV and per share NAV shall be the sole responsibility of REIT. Recipient agrees to regard and preserve as confidential all Confidential Information which may be obtained from REIT, Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm as a result of this Agreement. Recipient agrees that its own use and/or distribution of Valuation Firm's or Appraisal Firm’s Confidential Information shall be limited to its own employees on a “need to know” basis; provided, however, that Recipient may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement to its employees, including the employees of their parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and to consultants or other persons or entities retained by Recipient for purposes specifically and solely related to the use or evaluation of Confidential Information as provided for herein. Such employees, including the employees of Recipient's parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and consultants or other persons or entities retained, shall treat the disclosure of the Confidential Information as confidential and are subject to the applicable terms and

restrictions in this Agreement, and Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by such person. Except as provided for herein, Recipient agrees it shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm (as applicable), disclose or make available to any person, firm or enterprise, reproduce or transmit, or use (directly or indirectly) for its own benefit or the benefit of others any Confidential Information.

The aforementioned restriction shall not apply to communications by Recipient, if (i) Recipient becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, governmental agency action or similar legal or judicial process), or otherwise is requested or required pursuant to law or regulation or the rules of any securities exchange or self-regulatory organization, to disclose any Confidential Information to a person or persons not otherwise permitted to receive such information or (ii) Recipient discloses Confidential Information upon the advice of legal counsel in connection with the defense of litigation or in connection with a regulatory or criminal proceeding involving Recipient or any of its members or employees. In such event, to the extent legally permissible, before disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to this paragraph, Recipient shall provide Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm with prompt written notice of such request or requirement and shall cooperate with Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to avoid or minimize required disclosure. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or reasonably obtainable, or promptly obtained, or if Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm waive compliance with the provisions hereof, then Recipient may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that Recipient is advised by legal counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that all information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment. Recipient shall give Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm prior notice of the Confidential Information it believes it is required to disclose.

In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree to the following additional confidentiality requirements with respect to the Confidential Information:

Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information was provided to REIT solely for the use by REIT’s board of directors in connection with the board’s determination of the estimated value of the common shares of the respective REIT, that such board may have considered other factors in making its determination of the REIT’s NAV or per share NAV, and that the Confidential Information therefore may not be used by the Recipient to establish a cause of action against Valuation Firm regarding its conclusion as to a reasonable range of NAV and Per Share NAV or Appraisal Firm regarding its appraisals. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 3(a), or Section 3(b) below, shall prohibit Recipient from asserting any claim or cause of action against any party other than Valuation Firm, Appraisal Firm or any of their respective Affiliates using or related to the Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, a claim or cause of action asserting detrimental reliance on the Confidential Information.

For purposes of this Section 3(a), “Affiliate” means, with respect to any entity, any other entity Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control with such entity; and “Control” and its derivatives mean, with regard to any entity, the legal, beneficial or equitable ownership, directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital stock (or other ownership interest, if not a corporation) of such entity ordinarily having voting rights.


b.	Subject to Section 3(a) above, Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with Valuation Firm's or Appraisal Firm’s provision of any Confidential Information to

Recipient, Recipient shall not acquire any rights against the party that prepared the Confidential Information by virtue of gaining access thereto pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be estopped from asserting a cause of action of detrimental reliance on the Confidential Information against Valuation Firm or Appraisal Firm.


c.	Recipient acknowledges and agrees that any third party that prepared Confidential Information does not assume any duties or obligations to Recipient as a result of Recipient obtaining access to or reviewing the Confidential Information.

8. Each of Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm agrees that information shall not be considered Confidential Information to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information: (i) is already known to Recipient free of any confidentiality obligation at the time it is obtained; (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of Recipient; (iii) is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party (specifically including REIT) without known restriction and without breach of this Agreement; or (iv) is independently developed by Recipient. For purposes of this Agreement, no Confidential Information shall be deemed “publicly known” or “known to Recipient” merely because such Confidential Information is embraced by more general information.

9. In the event that Recipient is seeking a protective order or otherwise seeking to avoid or minimize the disclosure of Confidential Information in cooperation with Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3, the Recipient (i) shall not be required to delay production of any Confidential Information and (ii) shall be required to provide such cooperation only to the extent that Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm agree to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of such cooperation, including, but not limited to, payment to Recipient for the time expended by its staff relating to any such efforts at its then client billing rates and reimbursement of all reasonable attorney's fees and costs of legal counsel associated therewith. Recipient is not required to take any action related to these matters without reasonable assurances from Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm that such payment and reimbursement will be provided.

Recipient agrees that if there is a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement, Valuation Firm and Appraisal Firm may have no adequate remedy at law and accordingly shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and any other appropriate equitable remedies for any such breach without proof of actual injury. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for any breaches of this Agreement by Recipient or its representatives, and shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient has no affirmative obligation to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information by any of Recipient's clients, or any other person or entity, to whom Recipient has disclosed Confidential Information in compliance with the terms of this Agreement; further, Recipient shall not be liable for the actions of any such client in the event of such client's disclosure of Confidential Information.

10. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE, ONE TO THE OTHER, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

11. Neither party shall use the other party's name or marks, refer to or identify the other party in any advertising or publicity releases or promotional or marketing correspondence to others without the other party's prior written approval. The Recipient shall not Valuation Firm’s or Appraisal Firm’s name or marks, nor refer to or identify Valuation Firm or Appraisal Firm in any advertising or publicity releases or promotional or marketing correspondence to others.

12. Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party and any attempt to do so shall be in violation of this Paragraph 8 and shall be deemed null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement in whole or in part at any time without the consent of the other party to an affiliate controlling, controlled by or under common control with the party.

13. The parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information disclosed by Valuation Firm or Appraisal Firm under this Agreement may be subject to export controls under the laws of the United States. Each party shall comply with such laws and agrees not to knowingly export, re-export or transfer Confidential Information without first obtaining all required United States authorizations or licenses.

14. Recipient is aware, and shall advise its representatives who receive any Confidential Information or are informed of the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, that applicable securities laws restrict persons with material, non-public information concerning REIT (including for this purpose any Affiliate of REIT) from purchasing or selling securities of any affiliate of REIT, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

15. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile. Any facsimile signatures shall have the same legal effect as manual signatures.

16. This Agreement, which constitutes the entire agreement between the parties as to the subject hereof, shall be construed and interpreted fairly, in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms, and there shall be no presumption or inference against the party drafting this Agreement in construing or interpreting the provisions hereof.

17. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be unimpaired.

18. The termination of any other agreement or business relationship between or involving both parties shall not relieve either party of its obligations with respect to Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to the terms hereof. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the substantive laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles and any cause of action shall only be brought into a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date(s) written below:
