RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager. These agreements entitled the Advisor and/or the Dealer Manager to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the Offering and reimbursement of organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company and entitle the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the investment of funds in real estate investments, the management of those investments, among other services, and the disposition of investments, as well as entitle the Advisor and/or the Dealer Manager to reimbursement of offering costs related to the dividend reinvestment plan incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company and certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. The Company has also entered into a fee reimbursement agreement with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor and Dealer Manager also serve or served as the advisor and dealer manager, respectively, for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“KBS REIT I”), KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“KBS REIT II”), KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (“KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT”), KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. (“KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT”), KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (“KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II”) and KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. (“KBS Growth & Income REIT”).
On January 6, 2014, the Company, together with KBS REIT I, KBS REIT II, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. The allocation of these shared coverage costs is proportionate to the pricing by the insurance marketplace for the first tiers of directors and officers liability coverage purchased individually by each REIT. The Advisor’s and the Dealer Manager’s portion of the shared lower tiers’ cost is proportionate to the respective entities’ prior cost for the errors and omissions insurance. In June 2015, KBS Growth & Income REIT was added to the insurance program at terms similar to those described above. In June 2018, the Company renewed its participation in the program. At renewal, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II and Legacy Partners Apartment REIT elected to cease participation in the program and obtain separate insurance coverage. The program is effective through June 30, 2019. KBS REIT I elected to cease participation in the program at the June 2017 renewal and obtained separate insurance coverage.
Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, summarized below are the related-party costs incurred by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and any related amounts payable as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

(2) Disposition fees with respect to real estate sold are included in the gain on sale of real estate, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with the Offering, the Company’s sponsor, KBS Holdings LLC, agreed to provide additional indemnification to one of the participating broker-dealers.  The Company agreed to add supplemental coverage to its directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to insure the sponsor’s obligations under this indemnification agreement in exchange for reimbursement by the sponsor to the Company for all costs, expenses and premiums related to this supplemental coverage. 
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Advisor incurred $0.1 million for the costs of the supplemental coverage obtained by the Company.
During each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Advisor paid the Company a $0.2 million property insurance rebate.
