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.
