2.           Representations,
Warranties and Covenants.

 

A.           Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Placement Agents that, except as
otherwise set forth in the Company’s SEC Filings (as defined in Section 2(A)(b) below) immediately prior to the closing of
the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 is true in all respects
as of the date hereof and will be true in all respects as of the Closing Date and any subsequent Closing Dates, as defined under
Section 4(e). In addition to the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Placement Agents and any Sub Agents shall
be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties made or given by the Company to any acquirer of Securities in the Offering
in any agreement, certificate, legal opinion or otherwise in connection with an Offering. For purposes of this Section 2(A), the
term Company includes all of the Company’s subsidiaries (if any).

 

(a)          The
Subscription Documents have been and/or will be prepared by the Company, in conformity with all applicable laws, and in compliance
with Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and the requirements of all other rules and regulations (the “Regulations”)
of the SEC relating to offerings of the type contemplated by the Offering, and the applicable securities laws and the rules and
regulations of those jurisdictions wherein the Placement Agents notify the Company that the Securities are to be offered and sold
(including U.S. states). The Securities will be offered and sold pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Regulation
D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Act as a transaction not involving a public offering and the requirements of any other applicable
state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations thereunder in those United States jurisdictions in which the Placement
Agents notify the Company that the Securities are being offered for sale. None of the Company, its predecessors or its affiliates,
or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Placement Agents, their affiliates or any person acting on its behalf,
in respect of which no representation is made) has taken nor will it take any action that conflicts with the conditions and requirements
of, or that would make unavailable with respect to the Offering, the exemption(s) from registration available pursuant to Rule
506(b) of Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and applicable state securities laws, or knows of any reason why any such
exemption would be otherwise unavailable to it). Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under
circumstances that would require registration under the Act of the issuance of the Securities or the Brokers Warrants (as hereinafter
defined). None of the Company, its predecessors or affiliates has been subject to any order, judgment or decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoining such person for failing to comply with Section 503 of
Regulation D or the equivalent state securities law requirements. The Company has not, for a period of six months prior to the
commencement of the Offering sold, offered for sale or solicited any offer to buy any of its securities in a manner that would
be integrated with the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, would cause the exemption from registration
set forth in Rule 506 of Regulation D and state securities laws to become unavailable with respect to the offer and sale of the
Securities to this Agreement in the United States. The Shares, and the shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants will be
quoted on the OTCQB or the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Principal Market”). The Company has taken no action designed
to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the quotation of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Company, on the
Closing Date, will be in compliance with all of the then-applicable requirements for continued quotation of the Common Stock on
the Principal Market.

(b)          The
Subscription Documents, as prepared and contemplated by the Company, will not and do not include any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the statements, documents,
certificates or other items made, prepared or supplied by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby contains
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made. There is no fact which the Company has not disclosed in the Subscription
Documents or which is not disclosed in the filings (the “SEC Filings”) that the Company makes with the SEC and of which
the Company is aware that materially adversely affects or that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the (i) assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business or business prospects of the Company
or (ii) ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Subscription Documents (the “Company
Material Adverse Effect”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company makes no representation or warranty
with respect to any estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying
such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans) that may have been delivered to the Placement Agents or their respective
representatives, except that such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans have been prepared in good faith on the
basis of assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable at the time of such preparation. Other than
the Company’s SEC Filings, the Company has not distributed and will not distribute prior to the Closing any offering material
in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, unless such offering materials are provided to the Placement Agents
prior to or simultaneously with such delivery to the offerees of the Securities.

 

(c)          The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and is qualified
and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by the Company
or the property owned or leased by the Company requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified
or be in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority
to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted (as described in the Subscription Documents and/or
the SEC Filings), has all the necessary and requisite documents and approvals from all state authorities, has all requisite corporate
power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement substantially
in the form made part of the Subscription Documents (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), the Registration
Rights Agreement substantially in the form made part of the Subscription Documents (the “Registration Rights Agreement”),
the form of Warrant substantially in the form made part of the Subscription Documents (the “Warrant”), and the other
agreements, if any, contemplated by the Offering (this Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Warrant and the other agreements contemplated hereby that the Company is required to execute and deliver are collectively referred
to herein as the “Company Transaction Documents”) and subject to necessary Board and stockholder approvals,
to issue, sell and deliver the Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Broker Warrants
(as hereinafter defined) (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Broker Warrants are hereinafter
referred to collectively as the “Warrant Shares”) and to make the representations in this Agreement accurate and not
misleading. Prior to the First Closing, as defined under Section 4(e), each of the Company Transaction Documents and the Offering
will have been duly authorized. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes, and each of the
other Company Transaction Documents, upon due execution and delivery, will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms (i) except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect related to laws affecting creditors’
rights generally, including the effect of statutory and other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers,
and except that no representation is made herein regarding the enforceability of the Company’s obligations to provide indemnification
and contribution remedies under the securities laws and (ii) subject to the limitations imposed by general equitable principles
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(d)          None
of the execution and delivery of or performance by the Company under this Agreement or any of the other Company Transaction Documents
or the consummation of the transactions in this Agreement or in the Subscription Documents (including the issuance and sale of
the Shares, the issuance of the Warrants or the issuance of the Warrants Shares conflicts with or violates, or causes a default
under (with our without the passage of time or the giving of notice), or will result in the creation or imposition of, any lien,
charge or other encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company under any agreement, evidence of indebtedness, joint venture,
commitment or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its assets may be bound, any statute,
rule, law or governmental regulation applicable to the Company, or any term of the Article of Incorporation as in effect on the
date hereof or any closing date for the Offering (the “Articles of Incorporation”) or By-Laws as in effect on the date
hereof or any closing date for the Offering (the “By-Laws”) of the Company, or any license, permit, judgment, decree,
order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its assets, except in the case of a conflict, violation,
lien, charge or other encumbrance (except with respect to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws) which would
not, or could not reasonably be expected to, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization or other
order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body
is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the valid issuance or sale of the Shares, the Warrants,
the Broker Warrants and the Warrant Shares by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, other than such as have been made or obtained
and that remain in full force and effect, and except for the filing of a Form D or any filings required to be made under state
securities laws, which shall be timely filed by the Company.

 

(e)          The
Company’s financial statements, together with the related notes, if any, included in the Subscription Documents or the Company’s
SEC Filings, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of the dates specified and the
results of operations for the periods covered thereby. Such financial statements and related notes were prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except
that the unaudited financial statements omit full notes, and except for normal year end adjustments. If the financials for the
Company are unaudited financial statements, it will state such clearly on the financials. During the period of engagement of the
Company’s independent certified public accountants, there have been no disagreements between the accounting firm and the
Company on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures. The
Company has made and kept books and records and accounts which are in reasonable detail and which fairly and accurately reflect
the activities of the Company in all material respects, subject only to year-end adjustments. Except as set forth in such financial
statements or otherwise disclosed in the Subscription Documents, the Company’s senior management has no knowledge of any
material liabilities of any kind, whether accrued, absolute or contingent, or otherwise, and subsequent to the date of the Subscription
Documents and prior to the date of the First Closing, it shall not enter into any material transactions or commitments without
promptly thereafter notifying the Placement Agents and the purchasers in the Offering in writing of any such material transaction
or commitment. The other financial and statistical information with respect to the Company and any pro forma information and related
notes included in the SEC Filings present fairly the information shown therein on a basis consistent with the financial statements
of the Company included in the SEC Filings. Except as disclosed in the Subscription Documents, the Company does not know of any
facts, circumstances or conditions which could materially adversely affect its operations, earnings or prospects that have not
been fully disclosed in the financial statements appearing in the SEC Filings or other financial statements appearing in the SEC
Filings or other documents or information provided by the Company.

without limitation, those relating to environmental protection, occupational safety and health, securities laws, equal employment
opportunity, consumer protection, credit reporting, “truth-in-lending”, and warranties and trade practices) applicable
to its business, the violation of, or noncompliance with, would have a Company Material Adverse Effect, and the Company knows of

Act) has taken and will not take any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in an unlawful

3.           Placement
Agents Compensation.

 

(a)          In
connection with the Offering, the Company will pay a cash fee (the “Broker Cash Fee”) to the Placement Agents at each
Closing equal to Ten Percent (10%) of each Closing’s gross proceeds from any sale of Securities in the Offering during the
Term to investors first contacted by the respective Placement Agent in connection with the Offering. The Broker Cash Fee shall
be paid to the Placement Agents in cash by wire transfer from the escrow account established for the Offering, and as a condition
to closing, simultaneous with the distribution of funds to the Company.

 

(b)          Also,
at each Closing, the Company will deliver to the respective Placement Agent (or its designees), warrants to purchase shares of
the Company’s Common Stock, substantially in the form of Attachment I, equal, in the aggregate, to Ten Percent (10%)
of the number of Shares sold in the Offering (which shall not include the Warrant Shares) on which the respective Placement Agent
receives compensation pursuant to Section 3(a), with an initial exercise price equal to the Twenty Cents ($0.20) per share of the
Common Stock (the “Broker Warrants”). The Broker Warrants shall expire five (5) years from the date of the grant, include
a net exercise provision (in the event of the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Broker Warrants are not then

The Broker Cash Fee and the Broker Warrants are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Placement Agents’ Broker
Compensation”.

 

(c)          To
the extent there is more than one Closing, payment of the proportional amount of the Broker Cash Fee will be made out of the gross
proceeds from any sale of Securities sold at each Closing and the Company will issue to the respective Placement Agent the corresponding
number of Broker Warrants. All cash compensation and warrants under this Agreement shall be paid directly by the Company to and
in the name provided to the Company by the respective Placement Agent.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any payments made pursuant to the Fee Tail provisions contained in Section C.1.(d) of the letter agreement dated
April 9, 2015, among the Company, Katalyst and Trout Capital LLC, shall be deducted from the Placement Agents’ Broker Compensation.

 

B.    Tail Compensation

 

Provided that an Offering
is consummated during the Offering Period, the Placement Agents shall be entitled to the Broker Cash Fee and the Broker Warrants
calculated in the manner provided in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) above with respect to any subsequent public or private offering or
other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind (“Subsequent Financing”) to the extent that such financing
or capital is provided the Company, or to any Affiliate of the Company, by investors whom the respective Placement Agent had “introduced”
(as defined below), directly or indirectly, to the Company during the Offering Period if such Subsequent Financing is consummated
at any time within the twelve (12) month period following the earlier of expiration or termination of this Agreement or the closing
of the Offering, if an Offering is consummated (the “Tail Period”). A party “introduced” by the respective
Placement Agent shall mean an investor who either (i) participated in the Offering, (ii) met with the Company and/or had a conversation
with the Company either in person or via telephone regarding the Offering or (iii) was provided by the respective Placement Agent
with a copy of the Company’s offering memorandum (or other materials prepared and/or approved by the Company in connection
with the Offering), in each case based upon such investor expressing an interest, directly or indirectly, to the respective Placement
Agent in investing in the Offering. An “Affiliate” of an entity shall mean any individual or entity controlling, controlled
by or under common control with such entity and any officer, director, employee, stockholder, partner, member or agent of such
entity.

Series B Warrants and/or Broker Warrants issued by the Company as placement agent compensation to Katalyst Securities LLC, their
registered representatives and designees, assignees or successors in interest, in connection with the Company’s completed
financing in November 2015 to $0.01 per share of Common Stock. Upon the successful Closing of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)

Broker Warrants issued by the Company as placement agent compensation to EDI Financial, Inc., Katalyst Securities LLC, their registered
representatives and designees, assignees or successors in interest, in connection with the Company’s completed financings

4.          Subscription
and Closing Procedures.

 

(a)          The
Company shall cause to be delivered to the Placement Agents copies of the Subscription Documents and has consented, and hereby
consents, to the use of such copies for the purposes permitted by the Act and applicable securities laws and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and hereby authorizes the Placement Agents and their agents and employees to use the
Subscription Documents in connection with the sale of the Securities until the earlier of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the
Final Closing, and no person or entity is or will be authorized to give any information or make any representations other than
those contained in the Subscription Documents or to use any offering materials other than those contained in the Subscription Documents
in connection with the sale of the Securities, unless the Company first provides the Placement Agents with notification of such
information, representations or offering materials.

 

(b)          The
Company shall make available to the Placement Agents and their representatives such information, including, but not limited to,
financial information, and other information regarding the Company (the “Information”), as may be reasonably requested
in making a reasonable investigation of the Company and its affairs. The Company shall provide access to the officers, directors,
employees, independent accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and consultants of the Company as shall be reasonably requested
by the Placement Agents. The Company recognizes and agrees that the Placement Agents (i) will use and rely primarily on the Information
and generally available information from recognized public sources in performing the services contemplated by this Agreement without
independently verifying the Information or such other information, (ii) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of the
Information or such other information, and (iii) will not make an appraisal of any assets or liabilities owned or controlled by
the Company or its market competitors.

 

(c)          Each

    	Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE)	Page 14

     

    

 

 

(d)          Simultaneously
with the delivery to the respective Placement Agent of the Subscription Documents, the subscriber’s check or other good funds
will be forwarded directly by the subscriber to the escrow agent and deposited into a non interest bearing escrow account (the
“Escrow Account”) established for such purpose (the “Escrow Agent”). All such funds for subscriptions will
be held in the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among the Company, Katalyst, GPN and the Escrow Agent.
The Company will pay all fees related to the establishment and maintenance of the Escrow Account. Subject to the receipt of
subscriptions for the amount for Closing, the Company will either accept or reject, for any or no reason, the Subscription Documents
in a timely fashion and at each Closing will countersign the Subscription Documents and provide duplicate copies of such documents
to the Placement Agents for distribution to the subscribers. The Company will give notice to the respective Placement Agent of
its acceptance of each subscription. The Company, or the respective Placement Agent on the Company’s behalf, will promptly
return to subscribers incomplete, improperly completed, improperly executed and rejected subscriptions and give written notice
thereof to the respective Placement Agent upon such return.

 

(e)          If
subscriptions for at least the Minimum Offering Amount for Closing have been accepted prior to the Termination Date, the funds
therefor have been collected by the Escrow Agent and all of the conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are fulfilled,
a closing shall be held promptly with respect to the Securities sold (the “First Closing”). Thereafter, the remaining
Securities will continue to be offered and sold until the earlier of the Termination Date or the date that additional subscription
amounts up to the Maximum Offering amount have been collected by the Escrow Agent. Additional Closings (each a “Closing”,
collectively “Closings”) may from time to time be conducted at times mutually agreed to between the Company and the
Placement Agents with respect to additional Securities sold, with the final closing (“Final Closing”) to occur within
10 days after the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which the Maximum Amount has been subscribed for. Delivery of
payment for the accepted subscriptions for the Securities from the funds held in the Escrow Account will be made at the Closing
at the designated Placement Agent’s office against delivery of the Securities by the Company at the address set forth in
Section 12 hereof (or at such other place as may be mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Placement Agents), net of
amounts agreed upon by the parties herein, including, the Blue Sky counsel as of such Closing. Executed certificates for the Shares
and the Warrants will be in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as the respective Placement Agent may request
on or before the date of the Closing (“Closing Date”). The certificates will be forwarded to the subscriber directly
by the stock transfer agent as within ten (10) business days following each Closing. At each Closing, the Company will (i) deliver
irrevocable issuance instruction to its stock transfer agent for the issuance of certificates representing the Shares being sold,
and (ii) issue and deliver the applicable Warrants.

 

(f)          If
Subscription Documents for the Minimum Offering Amount for Closing have not been received and accepted by the Company on or before
the Termination Date for any reason, the Offering will be terminated, no Securities will be sold, and the Escrow Agent will, at
the request of the Placement Agents, cause all monies received from subscribers for the Securities to be promptly returned to such
subscribers without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.

 

5.           Further
Covenants. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)          Except
upon prior written notice to the Placement Agents, the Company shall not, at any time prior to the Final Closing, knowingly take
any action which would cause any of the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement not to be complete and correct
in all material respects on and as of the date of each Closing with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties
had been made on and as of each such date (except to the extent any representation or warranty relates to an earlier date).

 

    	Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE)	Page 15

     

    

 

 

(b)          If,
at any time prior to the Final Closing, any event shall occur that causes a Company Material Adverse Effect which as a result it
becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Subscription Documents so that the representations and warranties herein remain true
and correct in all material respects, or in case it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Subscription Documents to comply
with Regulation D or any other applicable securities laws or regulations, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agents
and shall, at its sole cost, prepare and furnish to the Placement Agents copies of appropriate amendments and/or supplements in
such quantities as the Placement Agents may reasonably request. The Company will not at any time before the Final Closing prepare
or use any amendment or supplement to the Subscription Documents of which the Placement Agents will not previously have been advised
and furnished with a copy, or which is not in compliance in all material respects with the Act and other applicable securities
laws. As soon as the Company is advised thereof, the Company will advise the Placement Agents and their counsel, and confirm the
advice in writing, of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Subscription Documents, or the suspension of any exemption
for such qualification or registration thereof for offering in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatened institution
of any proceedings for any of such purposes, and the Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order
and, if issued, to obtain as soon as reasonably possible the lifting thereof.

 

(c)          The
Company shall comply with the Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, all applicable state securities laws
and the rules and regulations thereunder in the states in which the Company’s Blue Sky counsel has advised the Placement
Agents and/or the Company that the Securities are exempt from qualification or registration, so as to permit the continuance of
the sales of the Securities, and will file or cause to be filed with the SEC, and shall promptly thereafter forward or cause to
be forwarded to the Placement Agents, any and all reports on Form D as are required. The Company will pay the attorney’s
fee and out of pocket expenses related to the filings for exemption from such qualifications or registration with any state securities
commissions and any other regulatory agencies. Such fees will be paid at the time of invoicing, or at the time of Closing, if known,
and if not yet invoiced, funds will remain in escrow to cover the estimated invoice. The Company will pay the invoice or authorize
release of the funds from escrow within five (5) days of receipt of invoice.

 

(d)          The
Company shall place a legend on the certificates representing the shares of the Common Stock and the Warrants that the securities
evidenced thereby have not been registered under the Act or applicable state securities laws, setting forth or referring to the
applicable restrictions on transferability and sale of such securities under the Act and applicable state laws.

 

(e)          The
Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for the purposes set forth in the Subscription Documents.
Except as set forth in the Subscription Documents, the Company shall not use any of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay indebtedness
to officers (other than accrued salaries incurred in the ordinary course of business) or directors of the Company without the prior
written consent of the Placement Agents.

 

(f)          During
the Offering Period, the Company shall afford each prospective purchaser of Securities the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from an officer of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and the opportunity to obtain
such other additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the Subscription Documents to the extent the Company possesses
such information or can acquire it without unreasonable expense.

 

(g)          Except
with the prior written consent of the Placement Agents, the Company shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the Final Closing
or the Termination Date, except as contemplated by the Subscription Documents (i) engage in or commit to engage in any transaction
outside the ordinary course of business as described in the Subscription Documents, (ii) issue, agree to issue or set aside for
issuance any securities (debt or equity) or any rights to acquire any such securities, (iii) incur, outside the ordinary course

(h)          Whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, or this Agreement is terminated, the Company shall pay all reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of all necessary offering documents and instruments related to
the Offering and the issuance of the Securities and the Brokers Warrants and will also pay for the Company’s expenses for
accounting fees, legal fees, printing costs, and other costs involved with the Offering. The Company will provide at its own expense
such quantities of the Subscription Documents and other documents and instruments relating to the Offering as the Placement Agents
may reasonably request. The Company will pay at its own expense in connection with the creation, authorization, issuance, transfer
and delivery of the Securities, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar; the fees and
expenses of the Escrow Agent; all fees and expenses of legal, accounting and other advisers to the Company; the Form D filings
for offer and sale of the Securities under the federal securities and Blue Sky laws, payable within five (5) days of being invoiced.
The Company will pay all such amounts, unless previously paid, at the Closing, or, if there is no Closing, within ten (10) days
after written request therefor following the Termination Date. In addition to any fees payable to the Placement Agents hereunder
and regardless of whether the Offering is consummated, the Company hereby agrees to promptly reimburse Katalyst’s legal counsel
fees in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (the “Katalyst Legal Fee”), paid directly from the escrow
account at the time of the First Closing from gross proceeds raised by the Placement Agents and if no Closing, then within five
(5) days of written request to the Company by wire transfer. Katalyst will be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable out of
pocket expenses up to the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), and any expenses in the aggregate in excess of $10,000 will
be approved in advance by the Company (the “Katalyst Expenses”). The Katalyst Legal Fee and Katalyst Expenses are separate
and apart from the Placement Agents Broker Compensation and other expenses described herein. This reimbursement obligation is in
addition to the reimbursement of fees and expenses relating to attendance by any respective Placement Agent at proceedings or to
indemnification and contribution as contemplated elsewhere in this agreement. In the event any of the respective Placement Agent’s
personnel must attend or participate in judicial or other proceedings to which we are not a party relating to the subject matter
of this agreement, the Company shall pay the respective Placement Agent an additional per diem payment, per person, at its customary
rates, together with reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements incurred by it in respect of its preparation for and participation in such proceedings. The Katalyst Legal Fee
does not include the Registration Legal Fees and expenses for the Blue Sky and other regulatory filings to be made in connection
with the Offering(s).

 

(i)          On
each Closing Date, the Company permits the Placement Agents to rely on any representations and warranties made by the Company to
the investors and will cause its counsel to permit the Placement Agents to rely upon any opinion furnished to the investors in
the Private Placement.

 

(j)          The
Company will comply with all of its obligations and covenants set forth in its agreements with the investors in the Offering. If
not filed on EDGAR, the Company will promptly deliver to the Placement Agents and their counsel copies of any and all filings with
the SEC and each amendment or supplement thereto, as well as all prospectuses and free writing prospectuses, prior to the closing
of the Offering and six months thereafter. The Placement Agents are authorized on behalf of the Company to use and distribute copies
of any Subscription Documents, including Company’s SEC Filings in connection with the sale of the Securities as, and to the
extent, permitted by federal and applicable state securities laws. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents
will be relying, without assuming responsibility for independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all financial
and other information that is and will be furnished to them by the Company and the Company will be liable for any material misstatements
or omissions contained therein.

to the fulfillment, at or before each Closing, of the following additional conditions:

 

(a)          Each

(d)           No
order suspending the use of the Subscription Documents or enjoining the Offering or sale of the Securities shall have been issued,

knowledge, be contemplated or threatened.

 

(e)           No
holder of any of the Securities from the Offering will be subject to personal liability solely by reason of being such a holder,
and except as described in the Subscription Documents, none of the Shares and Warrant Shares will be subject to preemptive or similar
rights of any stockholder or security holder of the Company, or an adjustment under the antidilution or exercise rights of any
holders of any outstanding shares of capital stock, membership units, options, warrants or other rights to acquire any securities
of the Company.

 

(f)          There
shall have been no material adverse change nor development involving a prospective change in the financial condition, operations
or projects of the Company, except where such change would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect on the business activities,
financial or otherwise, results of operations or prospects of the Company, taken individually or in the aggregate.

 

(g)          The
filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada of an Amendment to Section 7(e) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences

the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights
of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company).

 

(i)          The
Placement Agents shall have received a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, dated as of each Closing Date,
certifying, as to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e),(f), (g) and (h) above.

 

(j)          The
Company shall have delivered to the Placement Agents: (i) a good standing certificate dated as of a date within 10 days prior to

each Closing, the Company shall have (i) paid to the Placement Agents the respective Compensation as set forth in Section 3 above

satisfactory to the Placements Agents and their counsel.

 

(m)         All
proceedings taken at or prior to the Closing in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares and the Warrants
will be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Placement Agents and their counsel, and such counsel shall have been
furnished with all such documents, certificates and opinions as it may reasonably request upon reasonable prior notice in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(n)          If
in connection with the Offering, the Placement Agents determine that they or the Company would be required to make a filing with
the FINRA to enable the Placement Agents to act as agent in the Offering, the Company will do the following: The Company will cooperate
with the Placement Agents with respect to all FINRA filings that the Company or the Placement Agents may be required to make and
provide all information and documentation necessary to make the filings in a timely manner. The Company will pay all expenses related
to all FINRA filings that the Company or Placement Agents may be required to make, including, but not limited to, all printing
costs related to all documents required or that the Placement Agents may reasonably deem necessary, to comply with FINRA rules;
any FINRA filing fees; postage and express charges; and all other expenses incurred in making the FINRA filings.

 

The Company agrees and
understands that this Agreement in no way constitutes a guarantee that the Offering will be successful. The Company acknowledges
that the Company is ultimately responsible for the successful completion of a transaction.

 

7.          Conditions
of the Company’s Obligations. The obligations of the Company hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of each of
the following conditions:

 

(a)          The
satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing as set forth herein.

 

(b)          As
of each Closing, each of the representations and warranties made by Placement Agents herein being true and correct as of the Closing
Date for such Closing.

 

(c)          At
each Closing, the Company shall have received the proceeds from the sale of the Securities that are part of such Closing less applicable
Broker Fees and other deductions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(d)          At
each Closing, the Company shall have received a copy of Subscription Documents signed by investors delivered by the Placement Agents.

 

7A.         Mutual
Condition. The obligations of the Placement Agents and the Company hereunder are subject to the execution by each investor
of a Securities Purchase Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Placement Agents and the Company and deposit by such
investor with the escrow agent of all funds required to be so deposited by such investor.

 

8.          Indemnification.

 

(a)          The
Company will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agents, jointly and severally, their agents and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, selected dealers and each person, if any, who controls the respective Placement Agent within the
meaning of the Act and such agents (each an “Indemnitee” or a “Placement Agent Party”) against, and pay
or reimburse each Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings
or investigations in respect thereof (collectively, “Proceedings”), joint or several (which will, for all purposes
of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’
fees, including appeals), to which any Indemnitee may become subject (a) under the Act or otherwise, in connection with the offer
and sale of the Securities and (b) as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company herein
or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under the Agreement, regardless of whether such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses shall result from any claim by any Indemnitee or by any third party; and (ii) reimburse each Indemnitee
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim,
action, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such claim, damage or liability of a Placement Agent resulted from that Placement Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
In addition to the foregoing agreement to indemnify and reimburse, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings or investigations in
respect thereof), joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable
costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including appeals) to which any Indemnitee may become
subject insofar as such costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon the claim of any
person or entity that he or it is entitled to broker’s or finder’s fees from any Indemnitee in connection with the
Offering as a result of the Company obligating itself or any Indemnitee to pay such a fee, other than fees due to the Placement
Agents, their dealers, sub-agents or finders. The foregoing indemnity agreements will be in addition to any liability the Company
may otherwise have. The Indemnitees are intended third party beneficiaries of this provision.

 

    	Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE)	Page 19

     

    

 

 

(b)          Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, claim, proceeding or investigation
(the “Action”), such indemnified party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 8, will notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying
party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 unless the indemnifying
party has been substantially prejudiced by such omission. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof subject to the provisions herein
stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party will have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be at
the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party, provided, however, that if the indemnified party shall be requested by the indemnifying party to participate
in the defense thereof or shall have concluded in good faith and specifically notified the indemnifying party either that there
may be specific defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or
that such Action involves or could have a material adverse effect upon it with respect to matters beyond the scope of the indemnity
agreements contained in this Agreement, then the counsel representing it, to the extent made necessary by such defenses, shall
have the right to direct such defenses of such Action on its behalf and in such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel
in connection with any such participation or defenses shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No settlement of any Action against
an indemnified party will be made without the consent of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of all factors of importance to such party, and no indemnifying party shall be
liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such claim effected without such indemnifying party’s consent. Notwithstanding
the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party requests the indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified
party for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated
by this indemnity agreement, the indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written
consent if (i) the proposed settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the request
for reimbursement, (ii) the indemnifying party has not reimbursed the indemnified party within 30 days of such request for reimbursement,
(iii) the indemnified party delivered written notice to the indemnifying party of its intention to settle and the failure to pay
within such 30 day period, and (iv) the indemnifying party does not, within 15 days of receipt of the notice of the intention to
settle and failure to pay, reimburse the indemnified party for such legal or other expenses and object to the indemnified party’s
seeking to settle such Proceedings.

 

    	Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE)	Page 20

     

    

 

 

9.          Contribution.
To provide for just and equitable contribution, if: (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section
8 hereof and it is finally determined, by a judgment, order or decree not subject to further appeal that such claims for indemnification
may not be enforced, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) any indemnified or
indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then each indemnifying party shall contribute
to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative
benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the respective Placement Agent on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the respective Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the
Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total respective Placement Agent’s Compensation
received by that Placement Agent. The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or
alleged omission will be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission
relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agents and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission. The Company
and the Placement Agents agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Placement
Agents for contribution were determined by pro rata allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
or by any other method or allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. No person
guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from
any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls
the respective Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the respective Placement
Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution
as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 9. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding,
no party will be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent.
This Section 9 is intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise available.

 

10.         Termination.

 

(a)          The
Offering may be terminated by the Placement Agents at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period in the event that:
(i) any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein or in the Subscription Documents shall
prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when actually made; (ii) the Company shall have failed to perform
any of its material obligations hereunder or under any other Company Transaction Document or any other transaction document; (iii)
there shall occur any event, within the control of the Company that is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the
transactions contemplated hereunder or the ability of the Company to perform hereunder; or (iv) the Placement Agents determine
that it is reasonably likely that any of the conditions to Closing to be fulfilled by the Company set forth herein will not, or
cannot, be satisfied.

 

(b)          This
Offering may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Termination Date in the event that (i) the Placement Agents
shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or (ii) on account of the Placement Agents’ fraud,
illegal or willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of any termination by the Company, the Placement Agents shall be
entitled to receive, on the Termination Date, all unpaid respective compensation as set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) herein
earned or accrued through the Termination Date and reimbursement of all expenses as provided for in this Agreement, but shall be
entitled to no other amounts whatsoever except as may be due under any indemnity or contribution obligation for provided herein,
at law or otherwise. On such Termination Date, the Company shall pay Katalyst’s counsel fees in connection with the Offering,
as provided for herein.

 

    	Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE)	Page 21

     

    

 

 

(c)          This
Offering may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agents at any time prior to the expiration of
the Offering Period.

 

(d)          This
Offering and this Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time after December 23, 2016, in the event that the Company
has not formally accepted subscriptions for at least the Minimum Amount by such date. In the event of any termination by the Company
under this clause (d), Katalyst shall be entitled to receive, on the Termination Date, payment of the Katalyst Legal Fee and reimbursement
of the Katalyst Expenses as provided for in paragraph 5(h) of this Agreement, but the Placement Agents shall be entitled to no
other amounts whatsoever except as may be due under any indemnity or contribution obligation for provided herein, at law or otherwise.

 

(e)          Except
as otherwise provided above, before any termination by the Placement Agents under Section 10(a) or by the Company under Section
10(b) shall become effective, the terminating party shall give ten (10) day prior written notice to the other party of its intention
to terminate the Offering (the “Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice shall specify the grounds for the proposed
termination. If the specified grounds for termination, or their resulting adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby,
are curable, then the other party shall have five (5) days from the Termination Notice within which to remove such grounds or to
eliminate all of their material adverse effects on the transactions contemplated hereby; otherwise, the Offering shall terminate.

 

(f)          Upon
any termination pursuant to this Section 10, the Placement Agents and the Company will instruct the Escrow Agent to cause all monies
received with respect to the subscriptions for Securities not accepted by the Company to be promptly returned to such subscribers
without interest, penalty or deduction.

 

11.         Survival.

 

(a)          The
obligations of the parties to pay any costs and expenses hereunder and to provide indemnification and contribution as provided
herein shall survive any termination hereunder. In addition, the provisions of Sections 3, and 8 through 20 shall survive the sale
of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder.

 

(b)          The
respective indemnities, covenants, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agents set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of, and regardless of any access to information by the Company or the Placement Agents, or any of their officers or directors
or any controlling person thereof, and will survive the sale of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder.

 

12.         Notices.
All notice and other communications hereunder will be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given to a party by (a) personal
delivery; (b) upon deposit with the United States Post Office, by certified mail, return receipt requested, first-class mail, postage
prepaid; (c) delivered by hand or by messenger or overnight courier, addressee signature required, to the addresses below or at

take such further action and execute such other and further documents and instruments as the other party may reasonably request

18.         Advice
to the Board. The Company acknowledges that any advice given by the Placement Agents to the Company is solely for benefit
and use of the Company’s board of directors and officers, who will make all decisions regarding whether and how to pursue
any opportunity or transaction, including any potential Offering. The Company’s board of directors and management may consider
such advice, but will also base their decisions on the advice of legal, tax and other business advisors and other factors which
they consider appropriate. Accordingly, as an independent contractor, the Placement Agents will not assume the responsibilities
of a fiduciary to the Company or its stockholders in connection with the performance of the services. Any advice provided may not
be used, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to without prior written consent of the providing party. The Placement Agents
do not provide accounting, tax or legal advice. The Company is a sophisticated business enterprise that has retained the Placement
Agents for the limited purposes set forth in this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that their respective rights and
obligations are contractual in nature. Each party disclaims an intention to impose fiduciary obligations on the other by virtue
of the engagement contemplated by this Agreement.

 

19.         Other
Investment Banking Services. The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agents and their affiliates, if applicable, are
securities firms engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities and providing investment banking and financial advisory
services. In the ordinary course of business, the Placement Agents and their affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions,
and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for their own account or the accounts of customers, in the Company’s debt
or equity securities, its affiliates or other entities that may be involved in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
In addition, the Placement Agents and their affiliates may from time to time perform various investment banking and financial advisory
services for other clients and customers who may have conflicting interests with respect to the Company or the Offering. The Company
also acknowledges that the Placement Agents and their affiliates have no obligation to use in connection with this engagement or
to furnish the Company, confidential information obtained from other companies. Furthermore, the Company acknowledges the Placement
Agents may have fiduciary or other relationships whereby it or its affiliates may exercise voting power over securities of various
persons, which securities may from time to time include securities of the Company or others with interests in respect of any Offering.
The Company acknowledges that the Placement Agents or such affiliates may exercise such powers and otherwise perform our functions
in connection with such fiduciary or other relationships without regard to the Placement Agents’ relationship to the Company
hereunder.

 

20.         Successors.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the respective Placement Agent and of
the Company (including any party that acquires the Company or all or substantially all of its assets or merges with the Company).
Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person or corporation, other than
the parties hereto and parties expressly referred to herein, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect
to this Agreement or any provision hereof. The term “successors” shall not include any purchaser of the Securities
merely by reason of such purchase. No subrogee of a benefited party shall be entitled to any benefits hereunder. Each party hereto
disclaims any an intention to impose any fiduciary obligation on any other party by virtue of the arrangements contemplated by
this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 4.1

GRIFFIN CAPITAL ESSENTIAL ASSET REIT II, INC.
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
Amended and Restated as of November 15, 2016
Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT II, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), the terms and conditions of which are set forth below.
1.Distribution Reinvestment.  As agent for the stockholders of the Company (“Stockholders”) who (A) purchased Class A, Class T, or Class I shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), or (B) purchase Shares pursuant to any subsequent offering of the Company (“Offering”) and who elect to participate in the DRP (the “Participants”), the Company will apply all distributions declared and paid in respect of the Shares held by each participating Stockholder (the “Distributions”), including Distributions paid with respect to any full or fractional Shares acquired under the DRP, to the purchase of the Shares for such participating Stockholders directly, if permitted under state securities laws and, if not, through the dealer manager or participating dealers registered in the participating Stockholder’s state of residence (“Participating Dealers”).
2.Effective Date.  The DRP became effective on July 31, 2014.  The board of directors of the Company amended and restated the DRP on November 11, 2014 effective November 22, 2014, further amended and restated the DRP on June 16, 2015 effective October 19, 2015, further amended and restated the DRP on March 29, 2016 effective April 25, 2016, and further amended and restated the DRP on November 15, 2016 effective November 28, 2016.  Any amendment or amendment and restatement to the DRP shall be effective as provided in Section 12.
3.Eligibility and Procedure for Participation.  Any Stockholder who purchased Shares pursuant to the Initial Public Offering or purchases shares in any subsequent Offering, and who has received a prospectus, as contained in the Company’s registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), may elect to become a Participant by completing and executing the Subscription Agreement, an enrollment form or any other appropriate authorization form as may be available from the Company, the dealer manager or Participating Dealer.  The Company may elect to deny a Stockholder participation in the DRP if the Stockholder resides in a jurisdiction or foreign country where, in the Company’s judgment, the burden or expense of compliance with applicable securities laws makes the Stockholder’s participation impracticable or inadvisable.  Participation in the DRP will begin with the next Distribution payable after receipt of a Participant’s accepted subscription, enrollment or authorization.
Once enrolled, a Participant may continue to purchase stock under the DRP until all of the shares of stock registered have been sold, the Company has terminated a current offering, or the Company has terminated the DRP.  A Participant can choose to have all or a portion of distributions reinvested through the DRP.  A Participant may also change the percentage of distributions that will be reinvested at any time by completing a new enrollment form or other form provided for that purpose.  Any election to increase a Participant’s level of participation must be made through a Participating Dealer or, if purchased other than through a Participating Dealer, through the Company’s dealer manager.  Shares will be purchased under the DRP on the date that Distributions are paid by the Company.
Each Participant agrees that if, at any time prior to the listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange, he or she fails to meet the suitability requirements for making an investment in the Company or cannot make the other representations or warranties set forth in the Subscription Agreement, he or she will promptly so notify the Company in writing.

4.Purchase of Shares.  Distributions on Class A shares will be reinvested in Class A shares, distributions on Class T shares will be reinvested in Class T shares, and distributions on Class I shares will be reinvested in Class I shares.  Participants will acquire DRP Shares at a price equal to the most recently published estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the applicable class of Class A shares, Class T shares, and Class I shares.  Until the Company discloses its initial estimated NAV per share, participants may acquire DRP Shares from the Company at a price equal to $9.40 per share of the applicable class of Class A shares, Class T shares, and Class I shares, until the earliest of (i) the date that all of the DRP Shares registered have been issued or (ii) all offerings terminate and the Company elects to deregister with the SEC the unsold DRP Shares.  The DRP Share price was determined by the Company’s board of directors in its business judgment.  The Company’s board of directors may set or change the DRP Share price for the purchase of DRP Shares at any time in its sole and absolute discretion based upon such factors as it deems appropriate.  Participants in the DRP may also purchase fractional Shares so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares; however, a Participant will not be able to acquire DRP Shares to the extent that any such purchase would cause such Participant to exceed the ownership limit as set forth in the Company’s charter or otherwise would cause a violation of the share ownership restrictions set forth in the Company’s charter.
Shares to be distributed by the Company in connection with the DRP may (but are not required to) be supplied from: (a) Shares registered, or to be registered, with the SEC in the Initial Public Offering or a subsequent Offering for use in the DRP (a “Registration”), or (b) Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the Company for the DRP in a secondary market (if available) or on a national securities exchange (collectively, the “Secondary Market”).
Shares purchased in any Secondary Market will be purchased at the then-prevailing market price, which price will be used for purposes of issuing Shares in the DRP.  Shares acquired by the Company in any Secondary Market or registered in a Registration for use in the DRP may be at prices lower or higher than the Share price which will be paid for the DRP Shares pursuant to the Initial Public Offering or a subsequent Offering.
If the Company acquires Shares in any Secondary Market for use in the DRP, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to acquire Shares at the lowest price then reasonably available.  However, the Company does not in any respect guarantee or warrant that the Shares so acquired and purchased by the Participant in the DRP will be at the lowest possible price.  Further, irrespective of the Company’s ability to acquire Shares in any Secondary Market or to make an offering for Shares to be used in the DRP, the Company is in no way obligated to do either, in its sole discretion.
5.No Commissions or Other Charges.  No dealer manager fee and no commissions will be paid with respect to the DRP Shares.
6.Exclusion of Certain Distributions.  The board of directors of the Company reserves the right to designate that certain cash or other distributions attributable to net sale proceeds will be excluded from Distributions that may be reinvested in shares under the DRP.
7.Taxation of Distributions.  The reinvestment of Distributions in the DRP does not relieve Participants of any taxes which may be payable as a result of those Distributions and their reinvestment pursuant to the terms of this Plan.
8.Stock Certificates.  The ownership of the Shares purchased through the DRP will be in book-entry form unless and until the Company issues certificates for its outstanding common stock.
9.Voting.  A Participant may vote all shares acquired through the DRP.
10.Reports.  Within 90 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year, the Company shall provide each Stockholder with an individualized report on his or her investment, including the purchase date(s), purchase price and number of Shares owned, as well as the dates of Distribution payments and amounts of Distributions paid during the prior fiscal year.
11.Termination by Participant.  A Participant may terminate participation in the DRP at any time, without penalty by delivering to the Company a written notice.  Prior to listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange, any transfer of Shares by a Participant to a non-Participant will terminate participation in the DRP with 

respect to the transferred Shares.  Upon termination of DRP participation for any reason, Distributions paid subsequent to termination will be distributed to the Stockholder in cash.
12.Amendment or Termination of DRP by the Company.  The board of directors of the Company may by majority vote (including a majority of the Independent Directors) amend, modify, suspend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon ten days’ written notice to the Participants, which notice may be provided by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, and if the Company is still engaged in an offering, notice may be provided in a supplement to the prospectus or Post-Effective Amendment filed with the SEC; provided, however, no such amendment shall add compensation to the DRP or remove the opportunity for a Participant to terminate participation in the plan, as specified above.
13.Liability of the Company.  The Company shall not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act, including, without limitation, any claims or liability (a) arising out of failure to terminate a Participant’s account upon such Participant’s death prior to receipt of notice in writing of such death, or (b) with respect to the time and the prices at which Shares are purchased or sold for a Participant’s account.  Any limitation of the Company’s liability under this Section 13 may be further limited by Section II.G. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts published by the North American Securities Administrators Association, as applicable.  To the extent that indemnification may apply to liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of a particular state, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC and certain state securities commissioners, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and, therefore, unenforceable.
