In addition, the affiliated Dealer Manager received dealer manager fees of 2% of the gross offering proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers.

Fees Paid in Connection With the Operations of the Company

The Company will pay the Sponsor an acquisition fee equal to 1.0% of the contract purchase price (including assumed indebtedness) of each property the Company acquires which is originated by the Sponsor. The acquisition fee is payable in cash at the closing of each acquisition.
    
The Company will pay the Sponsor a financing fee equal to 0.75% of the amount available under any secured mortgage financing or refinancing that the Company obtains and uses for the acquisition of properties that is arranged by the Sponsor. The financing fee is payable in cash at the closing of each financing.

The Company will pay the Manager an annual base management fee equal to 0.50% of the average unadjusted book value of the Company's real estate assets, calculated and payable monthly in advance, provided that the full amount of the distributions declared by us in respect of our OP units for the six immediately preceding months is equal to or greater than certain net income thresholds related to our operations. Our Manager will waive such portion of its management fee in excess of such thresholds. The management fee is payable in cash.

The Company may be required to pay the Manager a quarterly incentive fee, calculated based on the Company's annualized earnings, weighted average number of shares and weighted average price per share of common stock. One half of each quarterly installment of the incentive fee will be payable in shares of common stock. The remainder of the incentive fee will be payable in cash. No such incentive fees have been paid to the Manager since inception.

The Company is required to reimburse the Sponsor for all out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by the Sponsor, including without limitation, legal fees and expenses, due diligence fees and expenses, other third party fees and expenses, costs of appraisals, travel expenses, nonrefundable option payments and deposits on properties not acquired, accounting fees and expenses, title insurance premiums and other closing costs, personnel costs and miscellaneous expenses relating to the selection, acquisition and due diligence of properties. The Company's reimbursement obligation is not subject to any dollar limitation. Expenses will be reimbursed in cash on a monthly basis following the end of each month. However, the Company will not reimburse the Sponsor for the salaries and other compensation of its personnel. Furthermore, under an administrative support agreement between the Company and the Sponsor, the Sponsor will pay or reimburse the Company for its general administrative expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees, audit fees, board of directors fees, insurance, marketing and investor relation fees, until September 6, 2012, which is one year after the closing of the Company's IPO, to the extent the amount of certain net earnings from operations thresholds, as specified in the agreement, is less than the amount of the distributions declared by the Company in respect of our OP units during such one year period. To the extent these amounts are paid by the Sponsor, they would not be subject to reimbursement by the Company.
