 (b)           On the date that any Preliminary Prospectus was filed with the SEC, on the effective date of the Registration Statement, on the date of the Prospectus, and when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective or any amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus is filed with the SEC, the Registration Statement, each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, as applicable, including the financial statements contained therein, complied or will comply with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

On the date of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as applicable, the Prospectus did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(b) will not extend to such

 3.
Obligations and Compensation of Dealer Manager
 
 (a)            The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and principal distributor during the Offering Period (as defined in Section 3(c)) for the purpose of finding, on a best efforts basis, purchasers for the Shares for cash through the Participating Brokers, all of
whom shall be members of FINRA. The Dealer Manager may also arrange for the sale of Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the public offering price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to find purchasers for the Shares on said terms and conditions, commencing as soon as practicable.
 
 (b)           The “Offering Period” shall mean that period during which Shares may be offered for sale, commencing on the date the registration was made effective by the SEC, during which period offers and sales of the
Shares shall occur continuously in the jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified or exempt from registration (as confirmed in writing by the Company to the Dealer Manager) unless and until the Offering is terminated as provided herein, except that the Dealer Manager and the Participating Brokers shall suspend or terminate offering of the Shares upon request of the Company at any time and shall resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company. The Offering Period shall in all
events terminate upon the sale of all of the Shares. Upon termination of the Offering Period, the Dealer Manager's agency and this Agreement shall terminate without obligation on the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company except as set forth in this Agreement.
 
 (c)            Except as may be provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager selling commissions plus a dealer manager fee as follows
(based on a selling price of $8.00 per Share):

 If the Dealer Manager, the Participating Broker and the investor agree, the selling commissions can be paid on a deferred basis for Shares sold in the primary offering. In these instances, the Company will sell the Shares at a reduced price as set forth above and pay the Dealer Manager a correspondingly reduced sales commission at the time
of sale. The balance of the normal commission would be paid to the Dealer Manager over six years for Shares sold in the primary offering, out of the dividends or other distributions that are declared and paid with respect to the reduced-priced shares sold through the Dealer Manager or Participating Broker. The amount by which by the investor's dividends are reduced in these cases would be paid by the Company as deferred commissions to the Dealer Manager (and by the Dealer Manager to the Participating Brokers
for Shares sold by the Participating Brokers).
 
 As an example, investors electing the deferred commission option for Shares purchased in the primary offering will pay, on the date of purchase, $7.52 per Share (which includes a commission of $0.08 per Share). For a period of six years following the date of purchase, an additional $0.08 per Share will be deducted annually from dividends
or other cash distributions otherwise payable to the investor and will be used to pay deferred commissions. The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by the election of the deferred commission option. Under this arrangement, an investor electing the deferred commission option will pay a 1% commission upon subscription, rather than a 7% commission, and an amount equal to a 1% commission per year thereafter for the next six years, or longer if required to satisfy outstanding deferred commission obligations,
will be deducted from dividends or other cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholder. The Company may also use other deferred commission structures, but the Company will not pay total commissions in excess of 7% of the offering price of the Shares.
 
 If at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Company's remaining deferred commission obligations, the Company decides to list its common stock for trading on national securities exchange, or the Company begins a liquidation of its properties, the Company may accelerate the remaining commissions due under the deferred commission option.
To the extent that the distributions prior to listing are insufficient to satisfy the remaining commissions due, the obligations of the Company and the investor to pay any further deferred commissions will terminate, and the Dealer Manager and the Participating Brokers will not be entitled to receive any further portion of their deferred commissions following listing of the Company's common stock.
 
 In addition, if an investor that has elected the deferred commission option decides to participate in the Company’s share redemption program or requests that the Company transfer such stockholder’s Shares for any reason prior to the time that the remaining deferred selling commissions have been deducted from such stockholder’s
cash distributions, the Company will accelerate the selling commissions due under the Deferred Commission Option as set forth in the Prospectus.
  
  (d)           The Company will also reimburse the Dealer Manager for all items of underwriter compensation referenced in the Prospectus to the extent the Prospectus indicates that they will be paid by the Company, provided that the Company’s reimbursement payments shall not cause
(i) total underwriting compensation (excluding reimbursement of bona fide invoiced due diligence expenses) to exceed 10% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of the 56,250,000 shares offered to the public or (ii) total Organization and Offering Expenses (as defined in Article IV of the Company’s charter included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement) to exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of the 56,250,000 shares offered to the public.
 
 (e)            In conformity with NASD Conduct Rule 2810(b)(4)(B)(vii) (or successor FINRA rule), the Company will also pay the Dealer Manager for bona fide due diligence expenses of the Dealer Manager and the Participating Brokers, and subject to the terms and conditions, as may be allowed
by any subsequent FINRA Rule or Notice to Members.
 
 (f)            As described in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager agrees to sell Shares in the primary offering to persons identified by the Company as affiliates of the Company.  The purchase price for Shares under this program will be $7.60 per share, reflecting that selling
commissions in the amount of $0.40 per Share will not be payable in connection with such sales.  The Dealer Manager agrees to work together with the Company to implement this program and to execute sales under the program according to the procedures agreed upon by the Dealer Manager and the Company.
 
 (g)           In addition, as described in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may sell shares to Dealers, their retirement plans, their representatives and the family members, IRAs and the qualified plans of their representatives at a purchase price of $7.60 per share, reflecting that
selling commissions in the amount of $0.40 per share will not be payable in consideration of the services rendered by such Dealers and representatives in the Offering.  For purposes of this discount, a family member includes such person’s spouse, parent, child, sibling, mother- or father-in-law, son- or daughter-in law or brother- or sister-in-law.
 
 4.
Sale of the Shares
 
 (a)           A subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) must be completed by each person desiring to purchase Shares, or, at Dealer Manager's or Participating Broker's option, by Dealer Manager or Participating
Broker on behalf of each such person, and returned by Dealer Manager or Participating Broker together with any other documents that may be required under state securities laws or by the Company, to the Company at 1920 Main Plaza, Suite 400, Irvine, California 92614, Attention: Terry G. Roussel. The Dealer Manager or Participating Broker shall ascertain that the Subscription Agreement has been properly completed in full and signed by the prospective purchaser prior to its return.
 
 (b)           All subscription checks shall be made payable to the order of CORNERSTONE CORE PROPERTIES REIT, INC.   If Dealer Manager or Participating Broker receives a check not conforming to the foregoing instructions, Dealer Manager and/or Participating Broker must
return such check directly to the subscriber not later than the end of the next business day following its receipt.  Checks conforming to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted by Dealer Manager for deposit directly to the Company, at Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., c/o Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc., 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, CA 94901, as soon as practicable but in any event by the end of the second business day following receipt by Dealer Manager.  Checks
conforming to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted by Participating Broker for deposit directly to the Company, at Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., c/o Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc., 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, CA 94901, as soon as practicable but in any event by the end of the next business day following receipt by Participating Broker.  In the event Participating Broker's final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location, then checks must be
transmitted to Participating Broker's final review office by the end of the next business day following receipt by Participating Broker and Participating Broker's final review office must in turn by the end of the next business day following receipt by it, transmit the check for deposit directly to Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., c/o Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc., 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, CA 94901.
 
 (c)            Upon receipt of the Subscription Agreement, the Company, will determine promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days after such receipt) whether it wishes to accept the proposed purchaser as a stockholder of the Company, it being understood that the Company reserves
the right to reject the tender of any Subscription Agreement. Should the Company determine to accept the tender of the Subscription Agreement, the Company will promptly advise Dealer Manager or Participating Broker of such action. Should the Company determine to reject the tender it will promptly notify in writing the prospective purchaser, Dealer Manager and Participating Broker, if any, of such determination and will promptly return the tendered Subscription Agreement and the purchase price of the Shares directly
to the prospective purchaser.
  
  (d)           The Dealer Manager will use all reasonable efforts to offer Shares, and in its agreements with Participating Brokers will require that the Participating Brokers offer Shares, only to persons who meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability
letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and will only make offers to persons in the states in which it is advised in writing that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required. In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager will, and in its agreements with Participating Brokers, the Dealer Manager will, require that the Participating Brokers comply with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions
of Article III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the “NASAA Guidelines”). In making the determinations as to suitability required by the NASAA Guidelines, the Dealer Manager may rely on representations from (i) investment advisers who are not affiliated with a Participating Broker or (ii) banks acting as trustees or fiduciaries. With respect
to the maintenance of records required by the NASAA Guidelines, the Company agrees that the Dealer Manager can satisfy its obligations by contractually requiring such information to be maintained for a period of at least six (6) years by the investment advisers or banks discussed in the preceding sentence. Nothing contained in this Section 4(d) shall be construed to impose upon the Company the responsibility of assuring that prospective purchasers meet the suitability standards contained in the Prospectus and
the Subscription Agreement or to relieve Dealer Manager and Participating Brokers of the responsibility of complying with the rules of FINRA.
 
 5.
Offering Termination Date
 
 As used herein, the term “Offering Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the date upon which subscriptions for the maximum number of Shares offered have been accepted by the Company which date the Company shall designate by notice to Dealer Manager in
writing; or (ii) June 10, 2011. The Company may terminate the offering of Shares at any time for any reason by written notice to the Dealer Manager at least two (2) business days prior to the date of termination.
 
 6.

the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued.
 
 (c)           If at any time when a Prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Act any event shall have occurred as a result of which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement.

distribute Prospectuses with such supplement. Dealer Manager further agrees to comply with all instructions from the Company concerning the destruction of out-dated Prospectuses and the use of supplemented or amended Prospectuses.
  
  (c)           Dealer Manager agrees to solicit purchases of Shares only in the States and other jurisdictions in which the Company indicates that such solicitation can be made and in which Dealer Manager has determined that such solicitation can be made by Dealer Manager and in which
Dealer Manager is qualified to so act.
 
 (d)           Dealer Manager will not sell the Shares pursuant to this Agreement unless the Prospectus is furnished to the purchaser at least five (5) business days prior to the execution of the Subscription Agreement, or is sent to such person under circumstances that it would be received
by the purchaser five (5) business days prior to his execution of the Subscription Agreement.
 
 (e)           Dealer Manager will use reasonable efforts to select, and will require in its agreements with Participating Brokers that such Participating Brokers use reasonable efforts to select, investors who Dealer Manager reasonably believes meet the investor suitability requirements
which are set forth in the Prospectus and Subscription Agreement (Appendix A to the Prospectus) and such additional individual state requirements as are specified in the Subscription Agreement and which are confirmed by the investors by payment of the purchase price for the Shares including that each investor be of legal age in the state of his or her residence. Dealer Manager will maintain, for a period of six years, in Dealer Manager's files a copy of the Subscription Agreement for each investor for whom Dealer
Manager acts as Dealer Manager.
 
 (f)            To the extent that information is provided to Dealer Manager marked “For Broker-Dealer Use Only,” Dealer Manager covenants and agrees not to provide such information to prospective investors.
 
 (g)           The Dealer Manager will provide the Company with such information relating to the offer and sale of the Shares by it as the Company may from time to time reasonably request or as may be requested to enable the Company to prepare such reports of sale as may be required to be filed
under applicable federal or state securities laws.

Indemnification
 
 (a)           Subject to the limitations below, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Participating Brokers and (to the extent permitted by the Company's charter) the Dealer Manager, their officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such Participating Broker
or Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (“Losses”), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them, (B) in any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company or on its behalf specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Shares for sale under the securities laws of any jurisdiction or based upon
written information furnished by the Company under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “Blue Sky Application”), or (C) any Supplemental Material, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to
any of them or in any Blue Sky Application or Supplemental Material a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company will reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person, in connection with investigating or defending such Loss upon final disposition of the proceeding giving rise to such Loss; provided that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished (x) to the Company by the Dealer Manager or (y) to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of any Participating Broker specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such post-effective amendment thereto,
any such Blue Sky Application or any such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, and, further, the Company will not be liable in any such case if it is  determined that such Participating Broker or the Dealer Manager was at fault in connection with the Loss, expense or action.
 
 (b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not provide for indemnification of any Indemnified Persons for any liability or loss suffered by any such Indemnified Person, unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) the directors of the Company or the Advisor
or its affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company; (ii) the Indemnified Persons were acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnified Persons; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company's Net Asset Value (as defined in the Company's charter) and not
from its stockholders.
  
  (c)           In addition, the Company shall not indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnified Person for any Losses or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met: (i) there
has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnified Person, (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnified Person and (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular Indemnified Person and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering
the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
 
 (d)           The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director and officer of the Company (including any person named in the Registration Statement, with his consent, as about to become a director), each other person who has signed the Registration Statement
and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each a “Dealer Manager Indemnified Person”), from and against any Losses to which any of the Company Indemnitees may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
(A) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them, (B) in any Blue Sky Application, or (C) any Supplemental Material, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them
or in any Blue Sky Application or Supplemental Material a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference
to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them or any such Blue Sky Application or Supplemental Material, (iii) any unauthorized use of sales materials, use of unauthorized verbal representations or use of “For Broker-Dealer Use Only” materials with members of the public concerning the Shares by the Dealer Manager;

Act of 2001; or (vii) any other failure to comply with applicable FINRA or SEC rules. The Dealer Manager will reimburse each Dealer Manager Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.
 
 (e)           Each Participating Broker severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, each of their officers and directors (including any person named in the Registration Statement, with his consent, as about to become a director), each other person who has
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a “Participating Broker Indemnified Person”) from and against any Losses to which a Participating Broker Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (A) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them, (B) in any Blue Sky Application, or (C) any Supplemental Material, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them or in any Blue Sky Application or Supplemental Material a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of such Participating Broker specifically for use with reference to the Participating Broker in the preparation of Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment or supplement to any of them or any such Blue Sky Application or Supplemental Material, (iii) any unauthorized use of sales materials, use of unauthorized verbal representations or use of “For Broker-Dealer Use Only”
materials with members of the public concerning the Shares by the Dealer Manager; (iv) any untrue statement made by such Participating Broker or its representatives or agents or omission to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (v) any material violation of this Agreement; (vi) any failure to comply with applicable laws governing money laundering abatement and anti-terrorism
financing efforts, including applicable FINRA rules, SEC rules and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001; or (vii) any other failure to comply with applicable FINRA or SEC rules. Each such Participating Broker will reimburse each Participating Broker Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Participating Broker may otherwise have.
  
  (f)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify in writing the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 8 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the
extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 8(e) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice,
of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.
 
 (g)           The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with
the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such
action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

controlling person referred to in Section 8, and shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Shares, and any successor of Dealer Manager or the Company or of any such controlling person or any legal representative of any such controlling person, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective indemnity agreements and representations and warranties.

agreed to act as dealer manager in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. The Dealer Manager has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to find purchasers of Shares both directly and indirectly through a selling group consisting of participating brokers (“Participating Brokers”).
 
 The Dealer Manager hereby invites you to become a Participating Broker in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. By your acceptance hereof, you agree to act in such capacity and to use your best efforts to find purchasers for the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus and this Agreement.

 1.
Sale of the Shares.
 
 (a)           A subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) must be completed by each person desiring to purchase Shares, or, at your option, by you on behalf of each such person, and returned by you together
with any other documents that may be required under state securities laws or by the Company, to Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., c/o Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc., 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, CA 94901. You shall ascertain that the Subscription Agreement has been properly completed in full and signed by the prospective purchaser prior to its return.
 
 (b)           All subscription checks shall be made payable to the order of CORNERSTONE CORE PROPERTIES REIT, INC. If you receive a check not conforming to the foregoing instructions, you must return such check directly to the subscriber not later than the end of the next business
day following its receipt. Checks conforming to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted by you for deposit directly to Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., c/o Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc., 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, CA 94901 by the end of the next business day following receipt by you. In the event your final internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location, then checks must be transmitted to your final review office by the end of the next business day following
receipt by you and your final review office must in turn, by the end of the next business day following receipt by it, transmit the check for deposit directly to Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc., c/o Phoenix American Financial Services, Inc., 2401 Kerner Boulevard, San Rafael, CA 94901.
  
  (c)           Upon receipt of the Subscription Agreement, the Company, will determine promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days after such receipt) whether it wishes to accept the proposed purchaser as a member in the Company, it being understood that the Company reserves
the right to reject the tender of any Subscription Agreement, in each case in its sole discretion. Should the Company determine to accept the tender of the Subscription Agreement, the Company will promptly advise you of such action. Should the Company determine to reject the tender, it will promptly notify in writing the prospective purchaser and you of such determination and will promptly return the tendered Subscription Agreement and the purchase price of the Shares directly to the prospective purchaser.
 
 (d)           You will use all reasonable efforts to offer Shares only to persons who meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to you by the Company and you will only make offers to persons in the states in which
it is advised in writing that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required. In offering Shares, you will comply with the provisions of all applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions of Article III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (the “NASAA Guidelines”).
Nothing contained in this Section 1 shall be construed to impose upon the Company the responsibility of assuring that prospective purchasers meet the suitability standards contained in the Prospectus and the Subscription Agreement or to relieve you of the responsibility of complying with the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).  For purposes of this Agreement, references to “FINRA rules,” “rules
of FINRA” or similar variations, shall include, unless otherwise expressly stated or context otherwise requires, NASD and FINRA rules currently in effect and any successor or subsequent rules adopted by FINRA as part of its consolidated rulebook or otherwise.
 
 2.
Offering Termination Date.
 
 As used herein, the term “Offering Termination Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the date upon which subscriptions for the maximum number of Shares offered have been accepted by the Company which date the Company shall designate by notice to the Dealer Manager
in writing; or (ii) June 10, 2011; provided, however, that the Company may, by providing notice to Dealer Manager in writing, extend the Offering Termination Date for an additional period of up to one year, in which case the Offering Termination Date shall mean the date as set forth in such notice. The Company may terminate the offering of Shares at any time for any reason by written notice to the Dealer Manager at least two (2) business days prior to the date of termination.
 
 3.
Obligations and Compensation of Participating Broker.
 
 (a)           The Dealer Manager hereby appoints you as a distributor during the Offering Period (as defined in Section 3(b) for the purpose of finding, on a best efforts basis, purchasers for the Shares for cash. You hereby accept such agency and distributorship and agree to use your
best efforts to find purchasers for the Shares on said terms and conditions, commencing as soon as practicable.
 
 (b)           The “Offering Period” shall mean that period during which Shares may be offered for sale, commencing on the date the registration was made effective by the SEC, during which period offers and sales of
the Shares shall occur continuously in the jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified or exempt from registration (as confirmed in writing by the Company to the Dealer Manager) unless and until the Offering is terminated as provided herein, except that you shall suspend or terminate offering of the Shares upon request of the Company or the Dealer Manager at any time and shall resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company or the Dealer Manager. The Offering Period shall in
all events terminate upon the sale of all of the Shares. Upon termination of the Offering Period, your agency and this Agreement shall terminate without obligation on your part or the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company except as set forth in this Agreement.
  
  (c)           Except as may be provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by you, the Dealer Manager agrees that it will pay to you selling commissions as follows (based on a selling price of $8.00 per Share):
 
 Selling CommissionsPrimary Offering

DRP Offering7%


0
%
 
 If you and the investor agree, the selling commissions can be paid on a deferred basis for Shares sold in the primary offering. In these instances, the Company will sell the Shares at a reduced price as set forth above and the Dealer Manager will pay you a correspondingly reduced sales commission at the time of sale. The balance of the normal
commission would be paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager and by the Dealer Manager to you over six years for Shares sold in the primary offering out of the dividends or other distributions that are declared and paid with respect to the reduced-priced shares sold through you. The amount by which by the investor’s dividends or other distributions are reduced in these cases would be paid by the Company as deferred commissions to the Dealer Manager and by the Dealer Manager to you.
 
 As an example, investors electing the deferred commission option for Shares purchased in the primary offering will pay, on the date of purchase, $7.52 per Share (which includes a commission of $0.08 per Share). For a period of six years following the date of purchase, an additional $0.08 per Share will be deducted annually from dividends
or other cash distributions otherwise payable to the investor and will be used to pay deferred commissions. The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by the election of the deferred commission option. Under this arrangement, an investor electing the deferred commission option will pay a 1% commission upon subscription, rather than a 7% commission, and an amount equal to a 1% commission per year thereafter for the next six years, or longer if required to satisfy outstanding deferred commission obligations,
will be deducted from dividends or other cash distributions otherwise payable to such stockholder. The Company may also use other deferred commission structures, but the Company will not pay total commissions in excess of 7% of the offering price of the Shares.
 
 If at any time prior to the satisfaction of the Company’s remaining deferred commission obligations, the Company decides to list its common stock for trading on national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market or other over-the-counter market, or the Company begins a liquidation of its properties, the Company may accelerate the
remaining commissions due under the deferred commission option. To the extent that the distributions prior to listing are insufficient to satisfy the remaining commissions due, the obligations of the Company and the investor to pay any further deferred commissions will terminate, and the Dealer Manager and you will not be entitled to receive any further portion of their deferred commissions following listing of the Company’s common stock.
 
 In addition, if an investor that has elected the deferred commission option decides to participate in the Company’s share redemption program or requests that the Company transfer such stockholder’s Shares for any reason prior to the time that the remaining deferred selling commissions have been deducted from such stockholder’s
cash distributions, the Company will accelerate the selling commissions due under the Deferred Commission Option as set forth in the Prospectus.
 
 4.

  (d)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and the compliance with the terms of this Agreement by you will not conflict with or constitute a default or violation under any charter, by-law, contract, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, lease, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over you.
 
 (e)           No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by you of this Agreement.
 
 (f)           You have not violated any of the “bad boy” disqualification provisions contained in the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which the Shares may be offered.

  (e)           You and each other Participating Broker severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager, each of their officers and directors (including any person named in the Registration Statement, with his consent, as about to become a director), each other

 (f)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof. The failure of an indemnified party so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 6 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability that it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the
extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect
of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.
  
  (g)           The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with
the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such
action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
