RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS
RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, commissions, fees and expenses payable to CCI Advisors and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offering, and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.
Offering
Cole Capital Corporation (“Cole Capital”), the Company’s dealer-manager, receives, and will continue to receive a commission of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. Cole Capital intends to reallow 100% of commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, up to 2% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers will be paid to Cole Capital as a dealer-manager fee. Cole Capital, in its sole discretion, may reallow all or a portion of its dealer-manager fee to such participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to Cole Capital or other broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.
All organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and the dealer-manager fee) are paid for by CCI Advisors or its affiliates and can be reimbursed by the Company up to 1.5% of aggregate gross offering proceeds. A portion of the other organization and offering expenses may be underwriting compensation. As of June 30, 2012, CCI Advisors had paid organization and offering costs of $4.8 million in connection with the Offering, of which $3.8 million were not included in the financial statements of the Company because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 1.5% of gross proceeds from the Offering. The $3.8 million of organization and offering costs not included in the financial statements of the Company may become payable to CCI Advisors as the Company continues to raise proceeds in the Offering.
 
The Company incurred the following commissions, fees and expense reimbursements for services provided by CCI Advisors or its affiliates related to the services described above during the periods indicated:

Additionally, CCI Advisors or its affiliates are reimbursed for acquisition expenses incurred in the process of acquiring properties, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction does not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price.

The Company did not incur any advisory fees or operating expense reimbursements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 as CCI Advisors agreed to waive its rights to these fees and expense reimbursements during such periods.
Liquidation/Listing
If CCI Advisors, or its affiliates, provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay CCI Advisors or its affiliates a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the brokerage commission paid on the sale of property, not to exceed 1% of the contract price of each property sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to CCI Advisors or its affiliates, when added to the real estate commissions paid to unaffiliated third parties, exceed the lesser of the customary competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6% of the contract sales price.
If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CCI Advisors will be entitled to receive a subordinated performance fee equal to 15% of the net sale proceeds remaining after investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Alternatively, if the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CCI Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15% of the amount by which the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus all distributions paid by the Company prior to listing, exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors and the amount of distributions necessary to generate an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. As an additional alternative, upon termination of the advisory agreement, CCI Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to that to which CCI Advisors would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, no commissions or fees were incurred for any such services provided by CCI Advisors and its affiliates related to the services described above.
