4.8 The Managing Broker-Dealer shall complete all steps reasonably necessary to permit the Managing Broker-Dealer to perform its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to exemptions available under applicable federal law and applicable state laws. The Managing Broker-Dealer shall conduct, if applicable, all of its solicitation and sales efforts that are imposed on it in conformity with Rule 506 (including the limitation on general solicitation), and exemptions available under applicable state law.

Unless otherwise agreed to by CF Income Trust and the Managing Broker-Dealer and subject to Section 6.6.4 below, the Distribution Fee described in Section 6.6.2 applicable to the Class T OP Units (or such other class of OP Units held by an Investor) will continue to apply with respect to the Class T shares of common stock of CF Income Trust (or such other class of common stock held by an Investor).

 

11


6.6.4 The Managing Broker-Dealer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Class T OP Units, Class S OP Units and Class D OP Units shall, as further described in the Operating Partnership Agreement, automatically convert to Class I OP Units at the end of the month in which CF Income Trust determines that total Distribution Fees paid with respect to such Class T OP Units, Class S OP Units or Class D OP Units held by the Investor within his, her, or its account would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% of the initial NAV of the Class T OP Units, Class S OP Units or Class D OP Units held in such Investor’s account and (b) no Distribution Fee shall be payable with respect to Class I OP Units, including without limitation Class I OP Units that were received in a conversion transaction from the other classes of OP Units. The Managing Broker-Dealer further acknowledges and agrees that: (i) shares of CF Income Trust’s common stock designated as Class T shares, Class S shares and Class D shares shall, as described in the charter of CF Income Trust, convert to Class I shares of CF Income Trust’s common stock under certain circumstances, including at the end of the month in which CF Income Trust’s transfer agent in conjunction with the Managing Broker-Dealer determines that the total selling commissions, dealer manager fees and Distribution Fees paid with respect to such Class T shares, Class S shares or Class D shares, as applicable, held by a stockholder within his, her, or its particular account equals 8.75% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Class T shares, Class S shares or Class D shares, and (ii) no Distribution Fee shall be payable with respect to any such Class I shares. For purposes of the calculations in the immediately preceding sentence, any Distribution Fees paid with respect to the OP Units prior to their redemption by the Investor into shares of CF Income Trust’s common stock shall count towards the 8.75% limitation and the gross proceeds amount shall be equal to the applicable NAV of such shares of common stock held in the account at the time of the exercise of the Fair Market Value Option.

6.6.5 The Managing Broker-Dealer may reallow a portion of the Distribution Fee to Selling Group Members as marketing fees or to defray other distribution-related expenses. Such reallowance, if any, shall be determined by the Managing Broker-Dealer in its sole discretion based on factors including, but not limited to, the level of services that each such broker-dealer performs, including ministerial, record-keeping, sub-accounting, stockholder services and other administrative services. The Managing Broker-Dealer reallowance of Distribution Fees to Selling Group Members shall be described in Schedule 1 to the Soliciting Dealer Agreement with respect to a particular Selling Group Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Managing Broker-Dealer is notified that the Selling Group Member who sold the Securities that converted into Class T OP Units, Class S OP Units or Class D OP Units pursuant to the Fair Market Value Option, is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to such Class T OP Units, Class S OP Units or Class D OP Units or the corresponding class of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, then such Selling Group Member’s entitlement to the Distribution Fees related to such OP Units or shares of common stock shall cease, and such Selling Group Member shall not receive the Distribution Fee for any portion of the month in which such Selling Group Member is not the broker-dealer of record on the last day of the month; provided, however, if the change in the broker-dealer of record with respect to such OP Units or shares of common stock is made in connection with a change in the registration of record for such OP Units or shares of common stock on the Operating Partnership’s or CF Income Trust’s, as applicable, books and records (including, but not limited to, a re-registration due to a sale or a transfer or a change in the form of ownership of the account), then such Selling Group Member shall be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Distribution Fees related to such OP Units or shares of common stock, respectively, for the portion of the month for which such Selling Group Member was the broker-dealer of record. Thereafter, such Distribution Fees may be reallowed by the Managing Broker-Dealer in its sole discretion to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the OP units or shares of common stock if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Broker-Dealer”); provided, that, such reallowance shall only be paid to the extent such Servicing Broker-Dealer has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with the Managing Broker-Dealer (the “Servicing Agreement”) and such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement with the Servicing Broker-Dealer provides for such reallowance.

The Issuer will authorize a collection of information regarding the Offering (the “Due Diligence Information”), which collection the Issuer may amend and supplement from time to time, to be delivered by the Managing Broker-Dealer to the Selling Group Members (or their agents performing due diligence) in connection with their due diligence review of the Offering (collectively, “Additional Information,” and together with the Due Diligence Information, the “Confidential Information”).

Such Managing Broker-Dealer or Selling Group Member will cooperate in the Issuer’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Managing Broker-Dealer or a Selling Group Member is, in the opinion of counsel, compelled as a matter of law to disclose the Confidential Information, such Managing Broker-Dealer or Selling Group Member may disclose to the person compelling disclosure only that part of the Confidential Information as are required by law to be disclosed, unless the Issuer agrees otherwise.
