WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has engaged DST Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Transfer Agent”), to examine for “good order” subscriptions and to act as record keeper, maintaining on behalf of the Escrow Agent the ownership records for the Escrow Account. In so acting the Transfer Agent shall be acting solely in the capacity of agent for the Escrow Agent and not in any capacity on behalf of the Company or the Selling Agent, not shall they have any interest other than that provided in this Agreement in assets in the Transfer Agent’s possession as the agent of the Escrow Agent;

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to receive and hold in escrow all funds received from Subscribers in payment for the Shares (“Subscriber Funds”) until the earlier of (i) in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania Investors”), the aggregate amount of subscriptions for Shares received from all Subscribers equal, in the aggregate, $25,000,000 (the “Pennsylvania Minimum Amount”); (ii) in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Washington (“Washington Investors”), the aggregate amount of subscriptions for Shares received from all Subscribers equal, in the aggregate, $10,000,000 (the “Washington Minimum Amount”); (iii) in the case of subscriptions received from all other Subscribers, such time as subscriptions for the Minimum Amount


(including Shares purchased by the Company’s sponsor, its affiliates and the Company’s officers and directors) have been received and accepted by the Company; or (iv) the close of business on the date exactly one year from the date of the commencement of the Offering (the “Expiration Date”) (the Company shall provide written notice of such Expiration Date to the Escrow Agent), and to hold and distribute such Subscriber Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions herein set forth; and

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent is willing to accept appointment as escrow agent upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Escrow of Subscriber Funds.

(a) On or before the commencement of the Offering, the Company shall establish the Escrow Account with the Escrow Agent, which shall be entitled “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for MVP REIT II.” During the term of this Escrow Agreement, all Subscriber Funds will be delivered to the Escrow Agent within one (1) business day following: (i) the receipt of the Subscriber Funds by the Selling Agent and (ii) such subscription being accepted by the Company. Upon receipt of good and collected Subscriber Funds by the Escrow Agent, all such Subscriber Funds shall be retained in the Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent and invested as stated below. During the term of this Escrow Agreement, each Selling Agent, pursuant to its Selling Agreement with the Company, shall cause all checks received in payment for the Shares to be made payable to the Escrow Agent, as escrow agent for the Company, and delivered to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Subscriber Funds also may be wired directly to the Escrow Account using wire instructions provided by the Escrow Agent.

(b) Escrow Agent shall have no duty to make any disbursement, investment or other use of Subscriber Funds until and unless it has good and collected funds. In the event that any checks deposited in the Escrow Account are returned or prove uncollectible after the funds represented thereby have been released by the Escrow Agent, then the Company shall promptly reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all costs incurred for such, upon request, and the Escrow Agent shall deliver the returned checks to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to enforce collection of any check delivered to it hereunder. The Escrow Agent reserves the right to deny, suspend or terminate participation by a Subscriber to the extent the Escrow Agent deems it advisable or necessary to comply with applicable laws.

 

2. Operation of the Escrow.

(a) Until such time as the Company has received gross subscription proceeds equal to the Minimum Amount and the Subscriber Funds are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof, Subscribers will be instructed to make checks, drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (“Instruments of Payment”) for subscriptions payable to the order of “UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for MVP REIT II, Inc.” Completed subscription agreements and Instruments of Payment for the purchase price shall be remitted to the address designated for the receipt of such agreements and Instruments of Payment. Any Instruments of Payment made payable to a party other than the Escrow Agent shall be returned to the Selling Agent who submitted such Instrument of Payment. When a Selling Agent’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at the site at which the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials (as defined below) are initially received by such Selling Agent, by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, such Selling Agent, pursuant to its Selling Agreement with the Company, will send to the Escrow Agent such Instruments of Payment along with each Subscriber’s name, address,

 

2


number of Shares purchased and purchase price remitted and any other subscription documentation (the “Subscription Materials”). When the Selling Agent’s internal supervisory procedures are conducted at a different location (the “Final Review Office”), such Selling Agent, pursuant to its Selling Agreement with the Company, shall transmit the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day after receipt of any Instruments of Payment and Subscription Materials, and then the Final Review Office will, by the end of the next business day following its receipt of the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials, forward the Instruments of Payment and the Subscription Materials to the Escrow Agent. To the extent that subscription agreements and payments are remitted by the Transfer Agent, the Company or the Selling Agent, the Company will furnish to the Escrow Agent a list detailing information regarding such subscriptions as set forth in Exhibit A to this Escrow Agreement (the “List of Subscribers”). The Transfer Agent will promptly deliver all monies received in good order from subscribers (or from the Company or the Selling Agent transmitting monies and subscriptions from subscribers) for the payment of Shares to the Escrow Agent for deposit in the Escrow Account. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with this Section 2. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account, such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Company or any of its affiliates. If any of the Instruments of Payment are returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to the satisfaction of the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Transfer Agent and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account, as applicable, in the amount of such returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount of such payment and the Transfer Agent shall delete the appropriate account from the records maintained by the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will maintain a written account of each sale, which account shall set forth, among other things, the following information: (i) the subscriber’s name and address, (ii) the number of Shares purchased by such subscriber, and (iii) the amount paid by such subscriber for such Shares. Prior to the termination of this Escrow Agreement, neither the Company nor the Selling Agent will be entitled to any funds received into the Escrow Account.

(b) If at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date, the subscription proceeds received by the Escrow Agent (excluding proceeds received from Pennsylvania Investors and Washington Investors) are equal to or greater than the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Selling Agent. After the Escrow Agent delivers such notice, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a written instruction from an officer of the Company stating that the Minimum Amount has been timely raised and authorizing the delivery of all subscription funds in the Escrow Account to the Company. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall (i) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the principal amount of the gross subscription payments from Subscribers received by the Escrow Agent, and (ii) within 10 business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to such Subscribers any interest accrued thereon; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not disburse those funds of a Subscriber whose subscription has been rejected or rescinded of which the Escrow Agent has been notified by the Company, or otherwise in accordance with the Company’s written request.

(c) After the satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 2 with respect to the disbursement of funds, in the event that the Company receives subscriptions made payable to the Escrow Agent, subscription proceeds may continue to be received in the Escrow Account, but to the extent that the process shall not be subject to escrow due to the Company reaching the Minimum Amount, the proceeds shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement, and at the instruction of the Company to the Escrow Agent, shall be transferred from the Escrow Account or deposited into, as the case may be, a commercial deposit account in the name of the Company with the Escrow Agent (the “Deposit Account”) that has been previously established by the Company, unless otherwise directed by the Company. No provisions of this Escrow Agreement shall apply to the Deposit Account.

(d) If, as of the Expiration Date, the funds in the Escrow Account do not equal or exceed the Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company. Within 10 days following the Company’s receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return directly to each Subscriber (i) by check or wire transfer, the subscription funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber (unless earlier disbursed in accordance with this Escrow Agreement), or (ii) the Instruments of Payment delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to such Subscriber’s subscription if such Instrument of Payment has not been processed for collection prior to such time, in either case, together with any interest income thereon. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the Escrow Agent has not received an executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9 at such time for each Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), from any interest income on subscription proceeds attributable to each Subscriber for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

(e) Disbursement of Proceeds for Pennsylvania Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds from Pennsylvania Investors will not count towards meeting the Minimum Amount for purposes of Section 2. Proceeds received from Pennsylvania Investors will not be released from the Escrow Account until the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount is obtained. If the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount is obtained at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and, upon receiving acknowledgement of such notice and written instructions from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing proceeds from Pennsylvania Investors, except for amounts payable by the Company to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit C to this Agreement that remain outstanding. The Escrow Agent agrees that the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount in the Escrow Account shall not be released to the Company until and unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions to release the funds from the Company.

If the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount has not been obtained prior to the Expiration Date, upon written instructions from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall, within 15 calendar days of receipt of such request, refund to each Pennsylvania Investor by check funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each Pennsylvania Investor at the address provided on the List of Subscribers. Included in the remittance shall be a proportionate share of the income earned in the account allocable to each Pennsylvania Investor’s investment in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein, except that in the case of Pennsylvania Investors who have not provided an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9, the Escrow Agent shall withhold the applicable percentage of the earnings attributable to those Pennsylvania Investors in accordance with IRS regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until funds represented by such payments have been collected by Escrow Agent.

If the Escrow Agent is not in receipt of evidence of subscriptions accepted on or before the close of business on such date that is 120 days after the date on which the Company accepts the first subscription from a Pennsylvania Investor (the “Initial Escrow Period”), and instruments of payment dated not later than that date, for the purchase of Shares providing for total purchase proceeds from all nonaffiliated sources that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company. Thereafter, the Company or its agents shall send to each Pennsylvania Investor by certified mail within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Initial Escrow Period a notification substantially in the form of Exhibit D. If, pursuant to such notification, a Pennsylvania Investor requests the return of his or her Subscriber Funds within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the notification (the “Request Period”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly refund directly to each

 

4


Pennsylvania Investor the collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Pennsylvania Investor or shall return the instruments of payment delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, to the address provided on the List of Subscribers, upon which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely, together with interest income earned as determined in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein. Notwithstanding the above, if the Escrow Agent has not received an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9 for such Pennsylvania Investor, the Escrow Agent shall thereupon remit an amount to such Pennsylvania Investor in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding in accordance with IRS regulations, as then in effect, from any interest income earned on Subscriber Funds (determined in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein) attributable to such Pennsylvania Investor. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit such payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

The Subscriber Funds of Pennsylvania Investors who do not request the return of their Subscriber Funds within the Request Period shall remain in the Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (each a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the prior Successive Escrow Period, and the Company and Escrow Agent shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Successive Escrow Period until the occurrence of the earliest of (i) the Expiration Date, (ii) the receipt and acceptance by the Company of subscriptions for the purchase of Securities (excluding persons affiliated with the Company) with total purchase proceeds that equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Minimum Amount and the disbursement of the Escrow Account on the terms specified herein, and (iii) all funds held in the Escrow Account having been returned to the Pennsylvania Investors in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(f) Disbursement of Proceeds for Washington Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, proceeds from Washington Investors will not count towards meeting the Minimum Amount for purposes of Section 2. Proceeds received from Washington Investors will not be released from the Escrow Account until the Washington Minimum Amount is obtained. If the Washington Minimum Amount is obtained at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company and, upon receiving acknowledgement of such notice and written instructions from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing proceeds from Washington Investors, except for amounts payable by the Company to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Exhibit C to this Agreement that remain outstanding. The Escrow Agent agrees that the Washington Minimum Amount in the Escrow Account shall not be released to the Company until and unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions to release the funds from the Company.

If the Washington Minimum Amount has not been obtained prior to the Expiration Date, upon written instructions from the Company, the Escrow Agent shall within ten (10) business days refund to each Washington Investor by check funds deposited in the Escrow Account, or shall return the instruments of payment delivered to Escrow Agent if such instruments have not been processed for collection prior to such time, directly to each Washington Investor at the address provided on the List of Investors. Included in the remittance shall be a proportionate share of the income earned in the account allocable to each Washington Investor’s investment in accordance with the terms and conditions specified herein, except that in the case of Washington Investors who have not provided an executed Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9, the Escrow Agent shall withhold the applicable percentage of the earnings attributable to those Washington Investors in accordance with IRS regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until funds represented by such payments have been collected by Escrow Agent.

3. Identity of Subscribers.

The Company shall furnish to the Escrow Agent with each delivery of an Instrument of Payment, a list of the Subscribers who have paid for the Shares showing the name, address, tax identification number, amount of Shares subscribed for and the amount paid and deposited with the Escrow Agent. This information comprising the identity of Subscribers shall be provided to the Escrow Agent on the List of Subscribers in the format set forth on Exhibit A to this Escrow Agreement. All Subscriber’s funds so deposited shall not be subject to any liens or charges by the Company, the Selling Agent or the Escrow Agent, or judgments or creditors’ claims against the Company, until released to the Company as provided herein. The Company understands and agrees that the Company shall not be entitled to any Subscriber’s funds on deposit in the Escrow Account and no such funds shall become the property of the Company except when released to the Company pursuant to this Escrow Agreement. The Company, the Escrow Agent and each Selling Agent, pursuant to its Selling Agreement with the Company, will treat all Subscriber information as confidential. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to accept any funds from Subscribers that are not accompanied by the information on the List of Subscribers.

 

4. Rejected Subscriptions.

In the event the Escrow Agent receives written notice from the Company or the Selling Agent that the Company or Selling Agent has rejected a Subscriber’s subscription, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the applicable Subscriber, within 10 business days after receiving notice of the rejection, by first class United States mail at the address appearing on the List of Subscribers or at such other address or fed wire instructions as are furnished to the Escrow Agent by the Subscriber in writing, all collected sums paid by the Subscriber for Shares and received by the Escrow Agent, together with any interest earned thereon.

In the event an executed IRS Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9 is not received for each Subscriber the Escrow Agent shall remit an amount to the Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof, withholding the applicable percentage for backup withholding required by the Internal Revenue Code, as then in effect, from any Escrow Income attributable to those Subscribers for whom the Escrow Agent does not possess an executed IRS Form W-9 or substitute Form W-9. Escrow Income shall be remitted to Subscribers at the address provided by the Selling Agent or the Company to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and without any deductions for escrow expenses.

(d) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any and all taxes, additions for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Subscriber Funds unless any such tax, addition for late payment, interest, penalties and other expenses shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been primarily caused by the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the assignment or termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.
