PROSPECTUS
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc.
Maximum Offering of 300,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that intends to invest primarily in income-producing necessity retail properties that are single-tenant or multi-tenant power centers subject to long-term triple net or double net leases with national or regional creditworthy tenants. We intend to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes, and we are externally managed by our advisor, Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC, an affiliate of our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments.
We are offering up to 250,000,000 shares of our common stock in our primary offering for $10.00 per share, with discounts available for certain categories of purchasers. We also are offering under this prospectus up to 50,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price during this offering of $9.50 per share. We will offer these shares until January 26, 2014, which is two years after the effective date of this offering, unless the offering is extended. We may need to renew the registration of this offering annually with certain states in which we expect to offer and sell shares. In no event will we extend this offering beyond 180 days after the third anniversary of the initial effective date, and we may terminate this offering at any time. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares we are offering between our primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan.
See Risk Factors beginning on page 22 for a description of the principal risks you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. These risks include the following:
| The amount of distributions we may pay, if any, is uncertain. Due to the risks involved in the ownership of real estate, there is no guarantee of any return on your investment in our common stock, and you may lose your investment. |
| We are a blind pool, as we have not identified all of the properties we intend to purchase, and we have a limited operating history. |
| This investment has limited liquidity. No public market currently exists, and one may never exist, for shares of our common stock. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount to their market value. |
| You should consider an investment in our common stock a long-term investment. If we do not successfully implement our exit strategy, you may suffer losses on your investment, or your shares may continue to have limited liquidity. |
| The offering price for our shares is not intended to reflect the book value or net asset value of our investments, or our expected cash flow. Until such time as our shares are valued by our board of directors, the price of our shares is not intended to reflect the net asset value of our shares. |
| We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including borrowings and proceeds from the sale of our securities or asset sales, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such other sources. Payments of distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in real estate and may negatively impact the value of your investment. As a result, the amount of distributions paid at any time may not reflect the current performance of our properties or our current operating cash flows. |
| This is a best efforts offering. If we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, we may have difficulties investing in properties and our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected. |
| There are substantial conflicts of interest between us and our advisor and its affiliates. Key persons associated with our advisor perform similar duties for other Cole-sponsored programs that may use investment strategies similar to ours creating potential conflicts of interest when allocating investment opportunities. In addition, our advisor and its affiliates have substantial discretion in managing our operations, and we pay them substantial fees. |
| Although you will be provided with information about our investments after the investments have been made, you will be unable to evaluate the economic merit of future investments, including how the proceeds from this offering will be invested. This makes an investment in our shares speculative. |
| Our board of directors may change our investment objectives and certain investment policies without stockholder approval. |
| We expect to incur debt, which could adversely impact your investment if the value of the property securing the debt falls or if we are forced to refinance the debt during adverse economic conditions. |
| We may suffer from delays in our advisor locating suitable investments, which could adversely affect our ability to pay distributions and the value of your investment. |
| If we fail to qualify as a REIT, cash available for distributions to be paid to you could decrease materially. |
| For qualified accounts, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), you may be subject to the imposition of significant excise taxes and penalties with respect to the amount invested. |
This investment involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Attorney General of the State of New York, nor any other state securities regulator, has approved or disapproved of our common stock, nor determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete or passed on or endorsed the merits or demerits of this offering. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The use of projections in this offering is prohibited. Any representation to the contrary, and any predictions, written or oral, as to the amount or certainty of any future benefit or tax consequence that may flow from an investment in this program is not permitted. All proceeds from this offering are held in trust until subscriptions are accepted and funds are released.

The dealer manager of this offering, Cole Capital Corporation, a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA), is an affiliate of our advisor and will offer the shares on a best efforts basis. The minimum investment generally is 250 shares. See the Plan of Distribution section of this prospectus for a description of such compensation. We expect that up to 10% of our gross offering proceeds, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan, will be used to pay selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other expenses considered to be underwriting compensation.
The date of this prospectus is October 24, 2012
An investment in our common stock is only suitable for persons who have adequate financial means and desire a long-term investment (generally, an investment horizon in excess of seven years). The value of your investment may decline significantly. In addition, the investment will have limited liquidity, which means that it may be difficult for you to sell your shares. Persons who may require liquidity within several years from the date of their investment or seek a guaranteed stream of income should not invest in our common stock.
In consideration of these factors, we have established minimum suitability standards for initial stockholders and subsequent purchasers of shares from our stockholders. These minimum suitability standards require that a purchaser of shares have, excluding the value of a purchasers home, furnishings and automobiles, either:
| a net worth of at least $250,000; or |
| a gross annual income of at least $70,000 and a net worth of at least $70,000. |
Certain states have established suitability requirements in addition to the minimum standards described above. Shares will be sold to investors in these states only if they meet the additional suitability standards set forth below:
| Alabama Investors must have a liquid net worth of at least ten times their investment in us and similar programs. |
| California Investors must have either (i) a net worth of at least $250,000, or (ii) a gross annual income of at least $75,000 and a net worth of at least $75,000. In addition, the investment must not exceed ten percent (10%) of the net worth of the investor. |
| Iowa and New Mexico Investors may not invest, in the aggregate, more than 10% of their liquid net worth in us and all of our affiliates. |
| Kansas and Massachusetts It is recommended by the office of the Kansas Securities Commissioner and the Massachusetts Securities Division that investors in Kansas and Massachusetts not invest, in the aggregate, more than 10% of their liquid net worth in this and similar direct participation investments. For purposes of this recommendation, liquid net worth is defined as that portion of net worth that consists of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities. |
| Kentucky, Michigan, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee Investors must have a liquid net worth of at least 10 times their investment in us. |
| Maine The investment in us (plus any investments in our affiliates) by an investor must not exceed 10% of the net worth of the investor. |
| Nebraska Investors must have (excluding the value of their home, furnishings and automobiles) either (i) a minimum net worth of $100,000 and an annual income of $70,000, or (ii) a minimum net worth of $350,000. In addition, the investment in us must not exceed 10% of the investors net worth. |
| North Dakota Investors must have a liquid net worth of at least ten times their investment in us and our affiliates. |
| Ohio Investors may not invest, in the aggregate, more than 10% of their liquid net worth in us, our affiliates and other non-traded real estate investment programs. For purposes of this limitation, liquid net worth is defined as that portion of net worth (total assets exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles minus total liabilities) that is comprised of cash, cash equivalents and readily marketable securities. |
Because the minimum offering of our common stock was less than $297,500,000 Pennsylvania investors are cautioned to evaluate carefully our ability to accomplish fully our stated objectives and to inquire as to the current dollar volume of our subscription proceeds.
In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts, the minimum suitability standards must be met by either the fiduciary account, by the person who directly or indirectly supplied the funds for the purchase of the shares, or by the beneficiary of the account.
Our sponsor and affiliated dealer manager are responsible for determining if investors meet our minimum suitability standards and state specific suitability standards for investing in our common stock. In making this determination, our sponsor and affiliated dealer manager will rely on the participating broker-dealers and/or information provided by investors. In addition to the minimum suitability standards described above, each
i
participating broker-dealer, authorized representative or any other person selling shares on our behalf, and our sponsor, is required to make every reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of shares is a suitable and appropriate investment for each investor.
It shall be the responsibility of your participating broker-dealer, authorized representative or other person selling shares on our behalf to make this determination, based on a review of the information provided by you,
including your age, investment objectives, income, net worth, financial situation and other investments held by you, and consider whether you:
| meet the minimum income and net worth standards established in your state; |
| can reasonably benefit from an investment in our common stock based on your overall investment objectives and portfolio structure; |
| are able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on your overall financial situation; and |
| have an apparent understanding of: |
| the fundamental risks of an investment in our common stock; |
| the risk that you may lose your entire investment; |
| the lack of liquidity of our common stock; |
| the restrictions on transferability of our common stock; |
| the background and qualifications of our advisor; and |
| the tax, including ERISA, consequences of an investment in our common stock. |
Such persons must maintain records for at least six years of the information used to determine that an investment in the shares is suitable and appropriate for each investor.
Restrictions Imposed by the USA PATRIOT Act and Related Acts

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS OFFERING
Below we have provided some of the more frequently asked questions and answers relating to an offering of this type. Please see Prospectus Summary and the remainder of this prospectus for more detailed information about this offering.
Q: | What is a REIT? |
A: | In general, a REIT is a company that: |
| pays distributions to investors of at least 90% of its taxable income; |
| avoids the double taxation treatment of income that generally results from investments in a corporation because a REIT generally is not subject to federal corporate income taxes on its net income, provided certain income tax requirements are satisfied; and |
| combines the capital of many investors to acquire a large-scale diversified real estate portfolio under professional management. |
Q: | How are you different from your competitors who offer non-listed finite-life public REIT shares or real estate limited partnership units? |
A: | We believe that our sponsors disciplined investment focus on core commercial real estate and experience in managing such properties will distinguish us from other non-listed REITs. We use the term core to describe existing properties currently operating and generating income, that are leased to national and regional creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases and are strategically located. In addition, core properties typically have high occupancy rates (greater than 90%) and low to moderate leverage (0% to 50% loan to value). |
We invest primarily in income-producing necessity retail properties that are single-tenant or multi-tenant power centers, which are leased to national and regional creditworthy tenants under long-term leases, and are strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates. Necessity retail properties are properties leased to retail tenants that attract consumers for everyday needs, such as pharmacies, home improvement stores, national superstores, restaurants and regional retailers. We expect that most of our properties will be subject to triple net and double net leases, whereby the tenant is obligated to pay for most of the expenses of maintaining the property. Through our investments in core commercial real estate, we expect to achieve a relatively predictable and stable stream of income, which will provide a principal source of return for investors in our common stock, and the potential for capital appreciation in the value of our real estate assets.
For over three decades, our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments, has developed and utilized this investment approach in acquiring and managing core commercial real estate assets in the retail sector. We believe that our sponsors experience in assembling real estate portfolios, which principally focus on national and regional creditworthy tenants subject to long-term net leases, will provide us with a competitive advantage. In addition, our sponsor has built a business of over 325 employees, who are experienced in the various aspects of acquiring, financing and managing commercial real estate, and that our access to these resources also will provide us with an advantage.
Q: | Will you invest in anything other than retail commercial properties? |
A: | Yes. We also may invest in other income-producing properties, such as office and industrial properties, which may share certain core characteristics with our retail investments, such as a principal creditworthy tenant, a long-term net lease, and a strategic location. Our sponsors disciplined investment focus on core commercial real estate historically has included office and industrial properties. To the extent that we invest in office and industrial properties, we will focus on core properties that are essential to the business |
1
operations of the tenant. We believe investments in these properties are consistent with our goal of providing investors with a relatively stable stream of current income and an opportunity for capital appreciation. Our portfolio also may include other income-producing real estate, as well as real estate-related investments such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and securities related to real estate assets, provided that such investments do not cause us to lose our REIT status or cause us to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act). Although this is our current target portfolio, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. We will not forgo a high quality investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. Our goal is to assemble a portfolio that is diversified by investment type, investment size and investment risk, which will provide attractive and reasonably stable returns to our investors. See the section of this prospectus captioned Investment Objectives and Policies Acquisition and Investment Policies for a more detailed discussion of all of the types of investments we may make. |
Q: | Generally, what are the terms of your leases? |
A: | We will seek to secure leases from creditworthy tenants before or at the time we acquire a property. We expect that many of our leases will be what is known as triple net or double net leases. Triple net leases typically require the tenant to pay all costs associated with a property in addition to the base rent and percentage rent, if any, including capital expenditures for the roof and the building structure. Double net leases typically hold the landlord responsible for the capital expenditures for the roof and structure, while the tenant is responsible for all lease payments and remaining operating expenses associated with the property. This helps ensure the predictability and stability of our expenses, which we believe will result in greater predictability and stability of our cash distributions to stockholders. Our leases generally have terms of ten or more years and include renewal options. We may, however, enter into leases that have a shorter term. |
Q: | How will you determine whether tenants are creditworthy? |
A: | Our advisor and its affiliates have a well-established underwriting process to determine the creditworthiness of our potential tenants. The underwriting process includes analyzing the financial data and other information about the tenant, such as income statements, balance sheets, net worth, cash flow, business plans, data provided by industry credit rating services, and/or other information our advisor may deem relevant. In addition, we may obtain guarantees of leases by the corporate parent of the tenant, in which case our advisor will analyze the creditworthiness of the guarantor. In many instances, especially in sale-leaseback situations, where we are acquiring a property from a company and simultaneously leasing it back to such company under a long-term lease, we will meet with the senior management to discuss the companys business plan and strategy. We may use an industry credit rating service to determine the creditworthiness of potential tenants and any personal guarantor or corporate guarantor of the tenant. We consider the reports produced by these services along with the relevant financial and other data relating to the proposed tenant before acquiring a property subject to an existing lease or entering into a new lease. |
Q: | What is the experience of your sponsor and your advisor? |
A: | Our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments, is a group of affiliated entities directly or indirectly controlled by Christopher H. Cole, including Cole Capital Advisors, Inc. (Cole Capital Advisors), Cole Capital Partners, LLC (Cole Capital Partners) and other affiliates of our advisor. From January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, Cole Real Estate Investments sponsored 67 prior programs, including 63 privately offered programs and four publicly offered REITs, which are comprised of Cole Credit Property Trust II, Inc. (CCPT II), Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. (CCPT III), Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (CCIT) and Cole Real Estate Income Strategy (Daily NAV), Inc. (Cole Income NAV Strategy). These prior programs had raised approximately $6.8 billion from over 134,000 investors and had purchased 1,639 properties located in 47 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands at an acquisition cost of $9.7 billion as of |
2
December 31, 2011. CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy are each currently raising capital pursuant to their respective initial public offerings of shares of their common stock. |
For over three decades, our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments, has developed and utilized a conservative investment approach that focuses on single-tenant commercial properties, which are leased to name-brand creditworthy tenants, subject to long-term net leases. While our sponsor has used this investment strategy primarily in the retail sector, our sponsor has also used the same investment strategy (single-tenant commercial properties subject to long-term net leases with creditworthy tenants) in the office and industrial sector. We expect that our sponsors prior experience in applying this conservative and disciplined investment strategy in both the retail and corporate sectors will provide us with a competitive advantage, as our advisor, an affiliate of our sponsor, acquires and manages, on our behalf, a portfolio of necessity retail properties. In addition, our sponsor has built an organization of over 325 employees, who are experienced in the various aspects of acquiring, financing and managing commercial real estate, and we believe that our access to these resources will also provide us with a competitive advantage. A summary of the real estate programs managed over the last ten years by our sponsor, including adverse business and other developments, is set forth in the section of this prospectus captioned Prior Performance Summary.
Our advisor is Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (CR IV Advisors), an affiliate of our sponsor that was formed solely for the purpose of managing our company. The chief executive officer and president of our advisor, and other key personnel of our advisor, have been associated with Cole Real Estate Investments for several years. For additional information about the key personnel of our advisor, see the section of this prospectus captioned Management The Advisor.
Q: | What will be the source of your distributions? |
We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including from the proceeds of this offering, from borrowings or from the sale of properties or other investments, among others, and we have no limit on the amounts we may pay from such sources. We expect that our cash flow from operations available for distribution will be lower in the initial stages of this offering until we have raised significant capital and made substantial investments. As a result, we expect that during the early stages of our operations, and from time to time thereafter, we may declare distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations. Our distributions will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent that they exceed our earnings and profits as determined for tax purposes.
Q: | Do you expect to acquire properties in transactions with affiliates of your advisor? |
A: | Other than as set forth below, our board of directors has adopted a policy to prohibit acquisitions and loans from or to affiliates of our advisor. First, from time to time, our advisor may direct certain of its affiliates to acquire properties that would be suitable investments for us or our advisor may create special purpose entities to acquire properties that would be suitable investments for us. Subsequently, we may acquire such properties from such affiliates of our advisor. Any and all acquisitions from affiliates of our advisor must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us that is no greater than the cost of the property to the affiliate of our advisor (including acquisition fees and expenses), unless a majority of the independent directors determines that there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and that the difference is reasonable. In no event will we acquire a property from an affiliate of our advisor if the cost to us would exceed the propertys current appraised value as determined by an independent appraiser. In no event will our advisor or any of its affiliates be paid more than one acquisition fee in connection with any such transaction. |
Second, from time to time, we may borrow funds from affiliates of our advisor, including our sponsor, as bridge financing to enable us to acquire a property when offering proceeds alone are insufficient to do so and third party financing has not been arranged. Any and all such transactions must be approved by a
3
majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
Finally, our advisor or its affiliates may pay costs on our behalf, pending our reimbursement, or we may defer payment of fees to our advisor or its affiliates, neither of which would be considered a loan.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, none of these restrictions would preclude us from paying our advisor or its affiliates fees or other compensation in connection with internalizing our advisor if our board of directors determines an internalization transaction is in the best interests of our stockholders. See the section of this prospectus captioned Management Compensation Becoming Self-Administered.
Q: | Will you acquire properties in joint ventures, including joint ventures with affiliates? |
A: | It is possible that we may acquire properties through one or more joint ventures in order to increase our purchasing power and diversify our portfolio of properties in terms of geographic region, property type and tenant industry group. Increased portfolio diversification reduces the risk to investors as compared to a program with less diversified investments. Our joint ventures may be with affiliates of our advisor or with non-affiliated third parties. Any joint venture with an affiliate of our advisor must be approved by a majority of our independent directors and the cost of our investment must be supported by a current appraisal of the asset. Generally, we will only enter into a joint venture in which we will approve major decisions of the joint venture. If we do enter into joint ventures, we may assume liabilities related to a joint venture that exceed the percentage of our investment in the joint venture. |
Q: | Will the distributions I receive be taxable as ordinary income? |
A: | Generally, unless your investment is held in a qualified tax-exempt account, distributions that you receive, including distributions that are reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent they are from current or accumulated earnings and profits. We expect that some portion of your distributions in any given year may not be subject to tax because depreciation and other non-cash expenses reduce taxable income but do not reduce cash available for distribution. In addition, distributions may be made from other sources, such as borrowings in anticipation of future operating cash flows or proceeds of this offering, which would not be currently taxed. The portion of your distribution that is not currently taxable is considered a return of capital for tax purposes and will reduce the tax basis of your investment. This, in effect, defers a portion of your tax until your investment is sold or we are liquidated, at which time you likely will be taxed at capital gains rates. However, because each investors tax considerations are different, we recommend that you consult with your tax advisor. You also should review the section of this prospectus entitled Federal Income Tax Considerations. |
Q: | What will you do with the money raised in this offering before you invest the proceeds in real estate? |
A: | Until we invest the proceeds of this offering in real estate, we may invest in short-term, highly liquid or other authorized investments. We may not be able to invest the proceeds from this offering in real estate promptly and such short-term investments will not earn as high of a return as we expect to earn on our real estate investments. |
Q: | How does a best efforts offering work? |
A: | When shares are offered to the public on a best efforts basis, the dealer manager and the broker-dealers participating in the offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell the shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. Therefore, we may not sell all of the shares that we are offering. |
4
Q: | Who can buy shares? |
A: | In order to buy shares of our common stock, you must meet our minimum suitability standards, which generally require that you have either (1) a net worth of at least $70,000 and a gross annual income of at least $70,000, or (2) a net worth of at least $250,000. For this purpose, net worth does not include your home, home furnishings and automobiles. You may be required to meet certain state suitability standards. In addition, all investors must meet suitability standards determined by his or her broker or financial advisor. You should carefully read the more detailed description under Suitability Standards immediately following the cover page of this prospectus. |
Q: | For whom might an investment in our shares be appropriate? |
A: | An investment in our shares may be appropriate for you if, in addition to meeting the suitability standards described above, you seek to diversify your personal portfolio with a real estate-based investment, seek to receive current income, and seek the opportunity to achieve capital appreciation over an investment horizon of more than seven years. An investment in our shares has limited liquidity and therefore is not appropriate if you may require liquidity within several years from the date of your investment or seek a guaranteed stream of income. |
Q: | May I make an investment through my IRA or other tax-deferred account? |
A: | Yes. You may make an investment through your individual retirement account (IRA) or other tax-deferred account. In making these investment decisions, you should consider, at a minimum, (1) whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your IRA, plan or other account, (2) whether the investment would constitute a prohibited transaction under applicable law, (3) whether the investment satisfies the fiduciary requirements associated with your IRA, plan or other account, (4) whether the investment will generate unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) to your IRA, plan or other account, (5) whether there is sufficient liquidity for such investment under your IRA, plan or other account, and (6) the need to value the assets of your IRA, plan or other account annually or more frequently. You should note that an investment in shares of our common stock will not, in itself, create a retirement plan and that, in order to create a retirement plan, you must comply with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Internal Revenue Code). |
Q: | Is there any minimum investment required? |
A: | The minimum investment generally is 250 shares. You may not transfer any of your shares if such transfer would result in your owning less than the minimum investment amount, unless you transfer all of your shares. In addition, you may not transfer or subdivide your shares so as to retain less than the number of shares required for the minimum purchase. In order to satisfy the minimum purchase requirements for retirement plans, unless otherwise prohibited by state law, a husband and wife may jointly contribute funds from their separate IRAs, provided that each such contribution is made in increments of $1,000. |
After you have purchased the minimum investment amount in this offering or have satisfied the minimum purchase requirement of any other Cole-sponsored public real estate program, any additional purchase must be in increments of at least 100 shares or made pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which may be in lesser amounts.
Q: | How do I subscribe for shares? |
A: | If you choose to purchase shares in this offering, in addition to reading this prospectus, you will need to complete and sign a subscription agreement, similar to the one contained in this prospectus as Appendix B (Appendix E for investors in Alabama), for a specific number of shares and pay for the shares at the time you subscribe. After you become a stockholder, you may purchase additional shares by completing and signing an additional investment subscription agreement, similar to the one contained in this prospectus as Appendix C (Appendix F for investors in Alabama). |

This prospectus summary highlights some of the material information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the Risk Factors section and the financial statements, before making a decision to invest in our common stock.
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc.
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. is a Maryland corporation, formed on July 27, 2010, which intends to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of core commercial real estate investments primarily consisting of necessity retail properties located throughout the United States, including U.S. protectorates. Our retail properties primarily have been and will be single-tenant properties and multi-tenant power centers anchored by large, creditworthy national or regional retailers. Our retail properties typically are and we expect that they will continue to be subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, which means the tenant will be obligated to pay for most of the expenses of maintaining the property. Frequently, our leases will be guaranteed by the tenants corporate parent. Through our investments in core commercial real estate, we expect to achieve a relatively predictable and stable stream of income, which will provide a principal source of return for our investors in our common stock, and the potential for capital appreciation in the value of our real estate assets.
We also may invest in other income-producing properties, such as office and industrial properties which may share certain core characteristics with our retail investments, such as a principal creditworthy tenant, a long-term net lease, and a strategic location. We believe investments in these types of office and industrial properties are consistent with our goal of providing investors with a relatively stable stream of current income and an opportunity for capital appreciation.
In addition, we may further diversify our portfolio by making and investing in mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans secured, directly or indirectly, by the same types of properties that we may acquire directly. We also may acquire majority or minority interests in other entities (or business units of such entities) with investment objectives similar to ours or with management, investment or development capabilities that our advisor deems desirable or advantageous to acquire. See the section of this prospectus captioned Investment Objectives and Policies Acquisition and Investment Policies for a more detailed discussion of all of the types of investments we may make.
We believe that our sponsors experience in assembling real estate portfolios, which principally focus on national and regional creditworthy tenants subject to long-term leases, will provide us with a competitive advantage. We believe that another competitive advantage is our ability to purchase properties for cash and to close transactions quickly. Cole Capital Corporation, the broker-dealer affiliate of our sponsor, raised approximately $4.8 billion on behalf of CCPT III in CCPT IIIs public offerings, and we expect that, through its well-developed distribution capabilities and relationships with other broker-dealers, Cole Capital Corporation will be successful in raising capital on our behalf in this offering.
Our offices are located at 2325 East Camelback Road, Suite 1100, Phoenix, Arizona 85016. Our telephone number is 866-907-2653. Our fax number is 877-616-1118, and the e-mail address of our investor relations department is investorservices@colecapital.com.

Our Sponsor and our Advisor
Our sponsor is Cole Real Estate Investments, a trade name we use to refer to a group of affiliated entities directly or indirectly controlled by Christopher H. Cole, including Cole Capital Advisors, Cole Capital Partners and other affiliates of our advisor. Our advisor, CR IV Advisors, a Delaware limited liability company, is responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf, and recommending to our board of directors an approach for providing our investors with liquidity. Our chairman, chief executive officer and president, Christopher H. Cole, is the indirect sole owner of our advisor. See Summary of Prior Offerings below. Our advisor will use its best efforts, subject to the oversight of our board of directors, to, among other things, manage our portfolio. Management of our portfolio will include making decisions about the active management of our portfolio, including decisions to acquire or dispose of real estate assets. Our advisor is responsible for identifying and acquiring potential real estate investments of our behalf. All acquisitions of commercial properties will be evaluated for the reliability and stability of their future income, as well as for their potential for capital appreciation. We expect that our advisor will consider the risk profile, credit quality and reputation of potential tenants and the impact of each particular acquisition as it relates to the portfolio as a whole. Our board of directors has delegated to our advisor broad authority to manage our business in accordance with our investment objectives, strategy, guidelines, policies and limitations; provided, however, that our board of directors will exercise its fiduciary duties to our stockholders by overseeing our advisors investment process.
Our Dealer Manager
Cole Capital Corporation, which we refer to as our dealer manager, is an affiliate of our sponsor and a member of FINRA. Our dealer manager has distributed shares of many of our sponsors prior real estate programs, and has built relationships with a large number of broker-dealers throughout the country, which participated in some or all of those prior offerings. Our dealer manager will distribute the shares of our common stock on a best efforts basis, and will advise us regarding this offering, manage our relationships with participating broker-dealers and financial advisors and provide assistance in connection with compliance matters relating to the offering, including compliance regarding any sales literature that we may prepare.
Our Board of Directors
We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. We have five directors, Christopher H. Cole, Lawrence S. Jones, J. Marc Myers, Marc T. Nemer and Scott P. Sealy, Sr. Three of our directors, Messrs. Jones, Myers and Sealy, are each independent directors. Our charter requires that a majority of our directors be independent of our advisor. Our charter also provides that our independent directors will be responsible for reviewing the performance of our advisor and determining the compensation paid to our advisor and its affiliates is reasonable. See the Conflicts of Interest Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures section of this prospectus. Our directors will be elected annually by our stockholders.
Investment Objectives
Our primary investment objectives are:
| to acquire quality commercial real estate properties, net leased under long-term leases to creditworthy tenants, which provide current operating cash flows; |
| to provide reasonably stable, current income for you through the payment of cash distributions; and |
| to provide the opportunity to participate in capital appreciation in the value of our investments. |
See the Investment Objectives and Policies section of this prospectus for a more complete description of our investment objectives and policies, and investment restrictions. We may not achieve our investment objectives. See Summary Risk Factors below.
8
Summary Risk Factors
Following are some of the risks relating to your investment:
| The amount of distributions we may pay is uncertain. Due to the risks involved in the ownership of real estate, there is no guarantee of any return on your investment in our common stock, and you may lose your investment. |
| We are a blind pool, as we have not identified all of the properties we intend to purchase with the proceeds of this offering, and we have a limited operating history. |
| This investment has limited liquidity. No public market currently exists, and one may never exist, for shares of our common stock. If you are able to sell your shares, you would likely have to sell them at a substantial discount to their market value. |
| You should consider an investment in our common stock a long-term investment. If we do not successfully implement our exit strategy, you may suffer losses on your investment, or your shares may continue to have limited liquidity. |
| The offering price for our shares is not intended to reflect the book value or net asset value of our investments, or our expected cash flow. Until such time as our shares are valued by our board of directors, the price of our shares is not intended to reflect the net asset value of our shares. |
| We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including borrowings and proceeds from the sale of our securities or asset sales, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such other sources. Payments of distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in real estate and may negatively impact the value of your investment. As a result, the amount of distributions paid at any time may not reflect the current performance of our properties or our current operating cash flows. |
| This is a best efforts offering. If we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, we may have difficulties investing in properties and our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected. |
| There are substantial conflicts of interest between us and our advisor and its affiliates. Key persons associated with our advisor perform similar duties for other Cole-sponsored programs that may use investment strategies similar to ours creating potential conflicts of interest when allocating investment opportunities. In addition, our advisor and its affiliates have substantial discretion in managing our operations, and we pay them substantial fees. |
| Although you will be provided with information about our investments after the investments have been made, you will be unable to evaluate the economic merit of future investments, including how the proceeds from this offering will be invested. This makes an investment in our shares speculative. |
| Our board of directors may change our investment objectives and certain investment policies without stockholder approval. |
| We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur debt, which could adversely impact your investment if the value of the property securing the debt falls or if we are forced to refinance the debt during adverse economic conditions. |
| We may suffer from delays in our advisor locating suitable investments, which could adversely affect our ability to pay distributions and the value of your investment. |
| If we fail to qualify as a REIT, cash available for distributions to be paid to you could decrease materially. |
| For qualified accounts, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA, you may be subject to the imposition of significant excise taxes and penalties with respect to the amount invested. |

(1) | These properties were acquired by purchasing 100% of the membership interests in Cole AA North Ridgeville OH, LLC (AA North Ridgeville) and Cole PM Wilkesboro NC, LLC (PM Wilkesboro), respectively, each a Delaware limited liability company, from Series C, LLC (Series C), an affiliate of our advisor. AA North Ridgeville and PM Wilkesboro owned, as their only asset, single tenant retail buildings located in North Ridgeville, OH and Wilkesboro, NC, respectively. Series C had acquired these properties for the purpose of holding them temporarily until we were able to raise sufficient proceeds in our public offering to acquire them from Series C at its acquisition cost (including acquisition related expenses). A majority of our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transactions approved the acquisitions as being fair and reasonable to us and determined that the cost to us of each property was equal to the cost of the respective property to Series C (including acquisition related expenses). In addition, the purchase price of each property, exclusive of closing costs, was less than the current appraised value of the respective property as determined by an independent third party appraiser. |
(2) | The Benihana Portfolio consists of four single-tenant commercial properties located in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas, which were purchased under individual sale-leaseback agreements with Benihana National of Florida Corp., Benihana Lombard Corp., The Samurai, Inc. and Benihana Woodlands Corp., respectively, as tenants. The properties are subject to individual lease agreements with identical terms. |
(3) | The Stripes Portfolio I consists of three single-tenant commercial properties located in Texas, which are subject to individual lease agreements with identical terms. |
(4) | The Stripes Portfolio II consists of three single-tenant commercial properties located in Texas, which are subject to individual lease agreements with identical terms. |
Borrowing Policy
Our charter limits our aggregate borrowings to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property.

Estimated Use of Proceeds of This Offering
Depending primarily on the number of shares we sell in this offering and assuming all shares sold under our distribution reinvestment plan are sold at $9.50 per share, we estimate for each share sold in this offering that between approximately 88.1% (assuming all shares available under our distribution reinvestment plan are sold) and approximately 86.7% (assuming no shares available under our distribution reinvestment plan are sold) of gross offering proceeds will be available for the purchase of real estate and other real estate-related investments, including repayment of any indebtedness incurred in respect of such purchases. We will use the remainder of the offering proceeds to pay the costs of the offering, including selling commissions and the dealer manager fee, and fees and expenses of our advisor in connection with acquiring properties. We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from proceeds raised in this offering in anticipation of future cash flows, and we have not placed a limit on the amount of net proceeds we may use to pay distributions. We will not pay selling commissions or a dealer manager fee on shares sold under our distribution reinvestment plan. The table below sets forth our estimated use of proceeds from this offering:

Conflicts of Interest
Our advisor will experience potential conflicts of interest in connection with the management of our business affairs, including the following:
| Our advisor and its affiliates will receive substantial fees in connection with the services provided to us, and, while those fees are approved on an annual basis by our independent directors, the approval process may be impacted by the fact that our stockholders invested with the understanding and expectation that an affiliate of Cole Real Estate Investments would act as our advisor; |
| The management personnel of our advisor, each of whom also makes investment decisions for other Cole-sponsored programs, must determine which investment opportunities to recommend to us or another Cole-sponsored program or joint venture, many of which have investment objectives similar to ours, and such persons must determine how to allocate their time and other resources among us and the other Cole-sponsored programs; and |
| We have retained Cole Realty Advisors, Inc. (Cole Realty Advisors), an affiliate of our advisor, to manage and lease some or all of our properties. |
Our executive officers and the chairman of our board of directors also will face conflicts similar to those described above because of their affiliation with our advisor and other Cole-sponsored programs. See the Conflicts of Interest section of this prospectus for a detailed discussion of the various conflicts of interest relating to your investment, as well as the procedures that we have established to mitigate a number of these potential conflicts.
The following chart shows the ownership structure of the various Cole entities that are affiliated with our advisor immediately prior to this offering.
(1) | Cole Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of our sponsor, currently owns 20,000 shares of our common stock, which represents less than 0.2% of the outstanding shares of common stock, as of October 3, 2012. As we continue to admit investors in this offering, this percentage will be reduced. Pursuant to our charter, Cole Holdings Corporation is prohibited from selling the 20,000 shares of our common stock for so long as Cole Real Estate Investments remains our sponsor; provided, however, that Cole Holdings Corporation may transfer ownership of all or a portion of the 20,000 shares of our common stock to other affiliates of our sponsor. |
13
(2) | CR IV Advisors currently owns less than 0.01% limited partner interest in our operating partnership. As we continue to admit investors in this offering, that limited partner interest will be reduced. CR IV Advisors is a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes, and its activity will be reported on the federal tax return of Cole Holdings Corporation. |
(3) | Our operating partnership will file its own federal tax return, separate from our federal tax return. |
Summary of Prior Offerings
The Prior Performance Summary section of this prospectus contains a discussion of the programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2011. Certain financial results and other information relating to such programs with investment objectives similar to ours are also provided in the Prior Performance Tables included as Appendix A to this prospectus. The prior performance of the programs previously sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments is not necessarily indicative of the results that we will achieve. For example, most of the prior programs were privately offered and did not bear the additional costs associated with being a publicly held entity. Therefore, you should not assume that you will experience returns comparable to those experienced by investors in prior real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments.
Concurrent Offerings
Our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments, is sponsoring CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy, both of which are currently raising capital pursuant to initial public offerings of shares of their common stock. For additional information regarding concurrent offerings sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments, see the section of this prospectus captioned Conflicts of Interest Interests in Other Real Estate Programs and Other Concurrent Offerings.
The Offering
We are offering up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock in our primary offering on a best efforts basis at $10.00 per share. Discounts are available for certain categories of purchasers, as described in the Plan of Distribution section of this prospectus. We also are offering under this prospectus up to 50,000,000 additional shares of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price of $9.50 per share during this offering, and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares. Thereafter, the purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan will be the most recent estimated value per share as determined by our board of directors as described in the Summary of Distribution Reinvestment Plan section of this prospectus. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of common stock we are offering between our primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan. We will offer shares of common stock in our primary offering until the earlier of January 26, 2014, which is two years from the effective date of this offering, or the date we sell 300,000,000 shares; provided, however, that our board of directors may terminate this offering at any time or extend the offering. If we decide to extend the primary offering beyond two years from the date of this prospectus, we will provide that information in a prospectus supplement; however, in no event will we extend this offering beyond 180 days after the third anniversary of the initial effective date. Nothing in our organizational documents prohibits us from engaging in additional subsequent public offerings of our stock. We may sell shares under the distribution reinvestment plan beyond the termination of our primary offering until we have sold 50,000,000 shares through the reinvestment of distributions, but only if there is an effective registration statement with respect to the shares. Pursuant to the Securities Act, and in some states, we may not be able to continue the offering for these periods without filing a new registration statement, or in the case of shares sold under the distribution reinvestment plan, renew or extend the registration statement in such state.
14
The registration statement for our initial public offering of 300,000,000 shares of common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2012. On April 13, 2012, we satisfied the general conditions of our escrow agreement and issued 308,206 shares of our common stock in the offering, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 million. As of October 3, 2012, we had accepted investors subscriptions for, and issued, approximately 16.1 million shares of our common stock in the offering, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $160.3 million.
Compensation to Our Advisor and its Affiliates
Our advisor and its affiliates will receive compensation and reimbursement for services relating to this offering and the investment, management and disposition of our assets. All of the items of compensation are summarized in the table below. We will not pay a separate fee for financing, leasing or property management, although we may rely on our advisor or its affiliates to provide such services to us. See the Management Compensation section of this prospectus for a more detailed description of the compensation we will pay to our advisor and its affiliates. The selling commissions and dealer manager fee may vary for different categories of purchasers. See the Plan of Distribution section of this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the selling commissions and dealer manager fees we will pay. The table below assumes the shares are sold through distribution channels associated with the highest possible selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and accounts for the fact that shares are sold through our distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share with no selling commissions and no dealer manager fee.

Acquisition Fee |
We will pay to our advisor 2% of: (i) the contract purchase price of each property or asset; (ii) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset we acquire; (iii) the purchase price of any loan we acquire; and (iv) the principal amount of any loan we originate. | $52,446,394 assuming no debt or $209,785,575 assuming leverage of 75% of the contract purchase price. | ||||||||||
Advisory Fee |
We will pay to our advisor a monthly advisory fee based upon our monthly average invested assets. Monthly average invested assets will equal the average book value of our assets invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by our real estate, before reserves for depreciation and amortization or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves, other than impairment charges, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each business day, over the course of the month. After our board of directors begins to determine the estimated per share value of our common stock, the monthly advisory fee will be based upon the value of our assets invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by our real estate as determined by our board of directors.
The advisory fee will be calculated according to the following fee schedule: |

Operating Expenses |
We will reimburse our advisor for acquisition expenses incurred in acquiring each property or in the origination or acquisition of a loan. We expect these expenses to be approximately 0.5% of the purchase price of each property or the amount of each loan; provided, however, that acquisition expenses are not included in the contract purchase price of a property.
We will also reimburse our advisor for the expenses incurred in connection with its provision of advisory and administrative services, including related personnel costs and payments to third party service providers; provided, however, that we will not reimburse our advisor for the salaries and benefits paid to our personnel in connection with services for which our advisor receives acquisition fees, and we will not reimburse our advisor for salaries and benefits paid to our executive officers. |

Liquidation/Listing Stage | ||||||||||
Disposition Fee |
For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, we will pay our advisor or its affiliates 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 the property sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to our advisor 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. | Actual amounts are dependent upon the contract price of properties sold and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. Because the disposition fee is based on a fixed percentage of the contract price for sold properties the actual amount of the disposition fees cannot be determined at the present time. | ||||||||
Subordinated Performance Fee |
After investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return, then our advisor will be entitled to receive 15% of the remaining net sale proceeds. We cannot assure you that we will provide this 8% return, which we have disclosed solely as a measure for our advisors incentive compensation. We will pay a subordinated fee under only one of the following events: (i) if our shares are listed on a national securities exchange; (ii) if our company is sold or our assets are liquidated; or (iii) upon termination of the advisory agreement. | Actual amounts are dependent upon results of operations and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. There is no limit on the aggregate amount of these payments. |
Distributions
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are required to, among other things, make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our annual taxable income (which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP)). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status, depending on our present and reasonably projected future cash flow from operations and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum distribution level. Distributions are paid to our stockholders as of the record date or dates selected by our board of directors. We expect that our board of directors will continue to declare distributions with a daily record date, and pay distributions monthly in arrears. In the event we do not have sufficient cash flow from operations to make distributions, we may borrow, use proceeds from this offering, issue additional securities or sell assets in order to
17
fund distributions, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such other sources. Payments of distributions from sources other than cash flows from operations may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties, and negatively impact the value of your investment. As a result, the amount of distributions paid at any time may not reflect the performance of our properties or our current operating cash flow.
Liquidity Opportunities
Our board of directors will consider future liquidity opportunities, which may include the sale of our company, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or similar transaction, the listing of our shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange or an alternative strategy that will result in a significant increase in the opportunities for stockholders to dispose of their shares. We expect to engage in a strategy to provide our investors with liquidity at a time and in a method recommended by our advisor and determined by our independent directors to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As we are unable to determine what macro- or micro-economic factors may affect the decisions our board of directors make in the future with respect to any potential liquidity opportunity, we have not selected a fixed time period or determined criteria for any such decisions. As a result, while our board of directors will consider a variety of options to provide stockholders with liquidity throughout the life of this program, there is no requirement that we commence any such action on or before a specified date. Stockholder approval would be required for the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or the sale or merger of our company.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
Our board of directors has approved a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which you may have the distributions you receive from us reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. The purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan will be $9.50 per share during this offering and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares. Thereafter, the purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan will be the most recent estimated value per share as determined by our board of directors. No sales commissions or dealer manager fees are paid with respect to shares sold under our distribution reinvestment plan.
If you participate in the distribution reinvestment plan, you will not receive the cash from your distributions, other than special distributions that are designated by our board of directors. As a result, you may have a tax liability with respect to your share of our taxable income, but you will not receive cash distributions to pay such liability.
Share Redemption Program
Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program to enable you to sell your shares to us in limited circumstances. Our share redemption program would permit you to sell your shares back to us after you have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations summarized below and described in more detail in the section captioned Description of Shares Share Redemption Program.
Our share redemption program includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares. Generally, you must have held your shares for at least one year in order to participate in our share redemption program. Subject to funds being available, we will further limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid (provided, however, that while shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed, shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap); and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares
18
under our distribution reinvestment plan. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we intend to limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter (provided, however, that while shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed, shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap), and funding for redemptions for each quarter generally will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under our distribution reinvestment plan; however, our board of directors may waive these quarterly limitations in its sole discretion, subject to the 5% cap on the number of shares we may redeem during the respective trailing 12 month period. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any quarter, in which case we will give priority to the redemption of deceased stockholders shares, then to requests for full redemption of accounts with a balance of 250 shares or less, and then the remaining redemption requests will be honored on a pro rata basis. Following such redemption period, if you would like to resubmit the unsatisfied portion of the prior redemption request for redemption, you must submit a new request for redemption of such shares prior to the last day of the new quarter. Unfulfilled requests for redemption will not be carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods.
During the term of this offering, and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares, the redemption price per share (other than for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) will depend on the price you paid for your shares and the length of time you have held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date, 95% of the amount you paid for each share; after two years from the purchase date, 97.5% of the amount you paid for each share; and after three years from the purchase date, 100% of the amount you paid for each share. During this time period, the redemption price for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will be 100% of the amount you paid for each share. After such time as our board of directors has determined a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares, the per share redemption price (other than for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) will depend on the length of time you have held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date, 95% of the most recent estimated value of each share; after two years from the purchase date, 97.5% of the most recent estimated value of each share; and after three years from the purchase date, 100% of the most recent estimated value of each share. During this time period, the redemption price for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will be 100% of the most recent estimated value of each share.
Upon receipt of a request for redemption, we may conduct a Uniform Commercial Code search to ensure that no liens are held against the shares. We will bear any costs in conducting the Uniform Commercial Code search. We will not redeem any shares that are subject to a lien.
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program at any time upon 30 days notice to our stockholders.
Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP
We are structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (UPREIT). As such, we expect to own substantially all of our assets through Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP (CCPT IV OP), our operating partnership. We may, however, own assets directly, through subsidiaries of CCPT IV OP or through other entities. We are the sole general partner of CCPT IV OP, and our advisor is the initial limited partner of CCPT IV OP.
ERISA Considerations
You may make an investment in our shares through your IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account. However, any retirement plan trustee or individual considering purchasing shares for a retirement plan or an individual retirement account should read the Investment by Tax-Exempt Entities and ERISA Considerations section of this prospectus very carefully.

Description of Shares
Uncertificated Shares
Under our charter, we are authorized to issue shares of our common stock without certificates unless our board of directors determines otherwise. Therefore, we do not intend to issue shares of common stock in certificated form. Our transfer agent will maintain a stock ledger that contains the name and address of each stockholder and the number of shares that the stockholder holds. Stockholders wishing to transfer shares of our stock may request an application for transfer by contacting us. See the section of this prospectus captioned Where You Can Find More Information. With respect to transfers of uncertificated stock, we will continue to treat the stockholder registered on our stock ledger as the owner of the shares until the record owner and the new owner deliver a properly executed application for transfer to our transfer agent at the address set forth in the application for transfer. Any questions regarding the transferability of shares should be directed to our transfer agent, whose contact information is set forth on page 6 of this prospectus and in the application for transfer.
Stockholder Voting Rights and Limitations
We will hold annual meetings of our stockholders for the purpose of electing our directors and conducting other business matters that may be properly presented at such meetings. We may also call special meetings of stockholders from time to time. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock you own.
Restriction on Share Ownership
Our charter contains restrictions on ownership of the shares that prevent any one person from owning more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive), of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of common stock, unless exempted by our board of directors. These restrictions are designed, among other purposes, to enable us to comply with ownership restrictions imposed on REITs by the Internal Revenue Code. These restrictions may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders. For a more complete description of the restrictions on the ownership of our shares, see the Description of Shares section of this prospectus. Our charter also limits your ability to transfer your shares unless the transferee meets the minimum suitability standards regarding income and/or net worth and the transfer complies with our minimum purchase requirements, which are described in the Suitability Standards section of this prospectus.
Investment Company Act Considerations
We intend to conduct our operations, and the operations of our operating partnership, and any other subsidiaries, so that no such entity meets the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, a company is an investment company if:
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(A), it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or |
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(C), it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Investment securities excludes U.S. Government securities and securities of majority owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. |
We intend to acquire a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate assets; however, our portfolio may include, to a much lesser extent, other real estate-related investments. We also may acquire real estate assets
20
through investments in joint venture entities, including joint venture entities in which we may not own a controlling interest. We anticipate that our assets generally will be held in wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries of the company, each formed to hold a particular asset. We intend to monitor our operations and our assets on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, meet the definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act.
21
An investment in our common stock involves various risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this prospectus before purchasing our common stock. The risks discussed in this prospectus can adversely affect our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition, and cause the value of your investment to decline. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. You should carefully consider these risks together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase any shares of our common stock.
Risks Related to an Investment in Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc.
We have a limited operating history. Further, we are considered to be a blind pool, as we currently have not identified all of the properties we intend to purchase. For this and other reasons, an investment in our shares is speculative.
We are a newly formed entity with limited operating history. Since we currently have not identified all of the properties we intend to purchase with future offering proceeds, we are considered to be a blind pool. You will not be able to evaluate the economic merit of our future investments until after such investments have been made. As a result, an investment in our shares is speculative.
You should consider our prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that are, like us, in their early stages of development. To be successful in this market, we and our advisor must, among other things:
| identify and acquire investments that further our investment objectives; |
| increase awareness of the Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. name within the investment products market; |
| expand and maintain our network of licensed broker-dealers and others who sell shares on our behalf and other agents; |
| rely on our advisor and its affiliates to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified personnel to manage our day-to-day operations; |
| respond to competition for our targeted real estate and other investments as well as for potential investors; |
| rely on our advisor and its affiliates to continue to build and expand our operations structure to support our business; and |
| be continuously aware of, and interpret, marketing trends and conditions. |
We may not succeed in achieving these goals, and our failure to do so could cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment.
An investment in our shares will have limited liquidity. There is no public trading market for our shares and there may never be one; therefore, it will be difficult for you to sell your shares. You should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment.
There currently is no public market for our common stock and there may never be one. In addition, we do not have a fixed date or method for providing stockholders with liquidity. If you are able to find a buyer for your
22
shares, you will likely have to sell them at a substantial discount to your purchase price. It also is likely that your shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan. You should purchase our shares only as a long-term investment (more than seven years) because of the generally illiquid nature of the shares. See the sections captioned Suitability Standards, Description of Shares Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer and Description of Shares Share Redemption Program elsewhere in this prospectus for a more complete discussion on the restrictions on your ability to transfer your shares.
You are limited in your ability to sell your shares pursuant to our share redemption program and may have to hold your shares for an indefinite period of time.
Our share redemption program includes numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares. Generally, you must have held your shares for at least one year in order to participate in our share redemption program. Subject to funds being available, we will further limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemption is being paid (provided, however, that while shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed, shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap); and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we intend to limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter (provided, however, that while shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed, shares subject to a redemption requested upon the death of a stockholder will not be subject to the percentage cap), and funding for redemptions for each quarter generally will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under our distribution reinvestment plan; however, our board of directors may waive these quarterly limitations in its sole discretion, subject to the 5% cap on the number of shares we may redeem during the respective trailing 12 month period. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. Our board of directors may amend the terms of, suspend, or terminate our share redemption program without stockholder approval upon 30 days prior written notice or reject any request for redemption. See the Description of Shares Share Redemption Program section of this prospectus for more information about the share redemption program. These restrictions severely limit your ability to sell your shares should you require liquidity, and limit your ability to recover the value you invested or the fair market value of your shares.
Two prior real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments have suspended redemptions under their respective share redemption programs, although one of the programs subsequently resumed its share redemption program. The board of directors of Cole Credit Property Trust, Inc. (CCPT I) determined that there was an insufficient amount of cash available for CCPT I to fulfill redemption requests during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. CCPT I continues to accept redemption requests which are considered for redemption if and when sufficient cash is available for CCPT I to fund redemptions. The board of directors of CCPT I will determine, at the beginning of each fiscal year, the maximum amount of shares that CCPT I may redeem during that year. Requests relating to approximately 284,000 shares remained unfulfilled as of December 31, 2011, representing approximately $2.3 million in unfulfilled requests, based on the most recent estimated value of CCPT Is common stock of $7.95 per share. On November 10, 2009, the board of directors of CCPT II voted to temporarily suspend CCPT IIs share redemption program other than for requests made upon the death of a stockholder, which it continued to accept. CCPT IIs board of directors considered many factors in making this decision, including the expected announcement of an estimated value of CCPT IIs common stock in June 2010 and continued uncertainty in the economic environment and credit markets. One June 22, 2010, CCPT IIs board of directors reinstated the share redemption program, with certain amendments, effective August 1, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2011 CCPT II received valid redemption requests relating to
23
approximately 20.4 million shares, including requests that were unfulfilled and resubmitted from a previous period, and requests relating to approximately 6.2 million shares were redeemed for $55.2 million at an average price of $8.90 per share, of which approximately 1.6 million shares were redeemed subsequent to December 31, 2011. The remaining redemption requests relating to approximately 14.2 million shares went unfulfilled including those requests unfulfilled and resubmitted from a previous period.
The offering price for our shares is not based on the book value or net asset value of our investments or our expected cash flow.
The offering price for our shares is not based on the book value or net asset value of our investments or our expected cash flow. Our board of directors does not intend to provide a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares until 18 months after the end of the offering period, which could include a possible follow-on offering. Until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares, the price of our shares is not intended to reflect our per share net asset value.
We may be unable to pay or maintain cash distributions or increase distributions over time.
There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to our stockholders. The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, such as the performance of our advisor in selecting investments for us to make, selecting tenants for our properties and securing financing arrangements, our ability to buy properties as offering proceeds become available, rental income from our properties, and our operating expense levels, as well as many other variables. We may not always be in a position to pay distributions to you and any distributions we do make may not increase over time. In addition, our actual results may differ significantly from the assumptions used by our board of directors in establishing the distribution rate to our stockholders. There also is a risk that we may not have sufficient cash from operations to make a distribution required to maintain our REIT status.
We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in real estate and may negatively impact the value of your investment.
To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient to fully cover our distributions to you, we have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations. Such sources may include borrowings, proceeds from asset sales or the sale of our securities in this or future offerings. We have no limits on the amounts we may pay from sources other than cash flows from operations.
We commenced principal operations on April 13, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, we have paid $83,803 in distributions, all of which was paid using proceeds from the issuance of common stock. As of June 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.4 million, reflects a reduction for real estate acquisition fees and related costs incurred and expensed of approximately $1.9 million, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. As set forth in the Estimated Use of Proceeds section, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by the proceeds from the offering of our shares. Therefore, for consistency, real estate acquisition related expenses are treated in the same manner (i.e., as funded by the proceeds of the offering of our shares) in describing the sources of distributions above, to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. The payment of distributions from sources other than cash provided by operating activities may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds, and may cause subsequent investors to experience dilution.
24
Because we have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than our cash flows from operations, distributions at any point in time may not reflect the current performance of our properties or our current operating cash flows.
Our organizational documents permit us to make distributions from any source, including the sources described in the risk factor above. Because the amount we pay out in distributions may exceed our cash flow from operations, distributions may not reflect the current performance of our properties or our current operating cash flows. To the extent distributions exceed cash flow from operations, distributions may be treated as a return of your investment and could reduce your basis in our stock. A reduction in a stockholders basis in our stock could result in the stockholder recognizing more gain upon the disposition of his or her shares, which in turn could result in greater taxable income to such stockholder.
We may suffer from delays in locating suitable investments, which could adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to you and the value of your investment.
We could suffer from delays in locating suitable investments, particularly if the capital we raise in this offering outpaces our advisors ability to identify potential investments and/or close on acquisitions. Delays we encounter in the selection and/or acquisition of income-producing properties likely would adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to you and the value of your overall returns. The large size of our offering, coupled with competition from other real estate investors, increase the risk of delays in investing our net offering proceeds. Our stockholders should expect to wait at least several months after the closing of a property acquisition before receiving cash distributions attributable to that property. If our advisor is unable to identify suitable investments, we will hold the proceeds we raise in this offering in an interest-bearing account or invest the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade investments, which would provide a significantly lower return to us than the return we expect from our investments in real estate.
In the event we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term, we may have difficulty investing the proceeds of this offering in properties, and our ability to achieve our investment objectives, including diversification of our portfolio by property type and location, could be adversely affected.
This offering is being made on a best efforts basis, which means that the dealer manager and the broker-dealers participating in this offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell the shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. As a result, we may not be able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term. If we are not able to accomplish this goal, we may have difficulty in identifying and purchasing suitable properties on attractive terms in order to meet our investment objectives. Therefore, there could be a delay between the time we receive net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering and the time we invest the net proceeds. This could cause a substantial delay in the time it takes for your investment to realize its full potential return and could adversely affect our ability to pay regular distributions of cash flow from operations to you. If we fail to timely invest the net proceeds of this offering, our ability to achieve our investment objectives, including diversification of our portfolio by property type and location, could be adversely affected. In addition, subject to our investment policies, we are not limited in the number or size of our investments or the percentage of net proceeds that we may dedicate to a single investment. If we use all or substantially all of the proceeds from this offering to acquire one or a few investments, the likelihood of our profitability being affected by the performance of any one of our investments will increase, and an investment in our shares will be subject to greater risk.
You will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them, which makes an investment in our common stock more speculative.
While we will provide you with information on a regular basis regarding our real estate investments after they are acquired, we will not provide you with a significant amount of information, if any, for you to evaluate our future investments prior to our making them. Since we have not identified all of the properties that we intend
25
to purchase with the proceeds from this offering, we are considered a blind pool, which makes your investment in our common stock speculative. We have established policies relating to the types of investments we will make and the creditworthiness of tenants of our properties, but our advisor will have wide discretion in implementing these policies, subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Additionally, our advisor has discretion to determine the location, number and size of our investments and the percentage of net proceeds we may dedicate to a single investment. For a more detailed discussion of our investment policies, see the Investment Objectives and Policies Acquisition and Investment Policies section of this prospectus.
We are dependent upon the net proceeds of this offering to conduct our proposed business activities. If we are unable to raise substantial proceeds from this offering, we may not be able to invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments and an investment in our shares will be subject to greater risk.
We are dependent upon the net proceeds of this offering to conduct our proposed activities. As such, our ability to implement our business strategy is dependent, in part, upon our dealer manager and participating broker-dealers to successfully conduct this offering and you, rather than us, will incur the bulk of the risk if we are unable to raise substantial funds. This offering is being made on a best efforts basis, whereby our dealer manager and the broker-dealers participating in this offering are only required to use their best efforts to sell shares of our common stock and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares of our common stock. In addition, the broker-dealers participating in this offering also may be participating in the offerings of competing REIT products, some of which may have a focus that is nearly identical to our focus, and the participating broker-dealers could emphasize such competing products to their retail clients. As a result, we do not know the amount of proceeds that will be raised in this offering, which may be substantially less than the amount we would need to achieve a broadly diversified portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments.
If we are unable to raise substantial proceeds from this offering, we will make fewer investments, resulting in less diversification in terms of the number of investments owned, the geographic regions in which our investments are located and the types of investments that we make. In addition, our fixed operating expenses, as a percentage of gross income, would be higher, and our financial condition and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected if we are unable to raise substantial funds in this offering and invest in a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate-related investments.
The purchase price you pay for shares of our common stock may be higher than the value of our assets per share of common stock at the time of your purchase.
This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for shares of our common stock is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. The offering price for our shares is not based on the book value or net asset value of our current or expected investments or our current or expected operating cash flows. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for shares of our common stock may not accurately represent the current value of our assets per share of our common stock at any particular time and may be higher or lower than the actual value of our assets per share at such time. See the section of this prospectus captioned Investment Objectives and Policies Dilution of the Net Tangible Book Value of Our Shares for further discussion.
There is no fixed date or method for providing our stockholders with liquidity, and your shares may have limited liquidity for an indefinite period of time.
Due to the unpredictable nature of future macro- and micro- economic and market conditions, we have not set a fixed time period or method for providing our stockholders with liquidity. We expect that our board of directors will make that determination in the future based, in part, upon advice from our advisor. As a result, your shares may continue to have limited liquidity for an indefinite period of time and should be purchased only as a long-term investment.

If our advisor loses or is unable to obtain key personnel, including in the event another Cole-sponsored program internalizes its advisor, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be delayed or hindered, which could adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to you and the value of your investment.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of certain executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor, as listed on page 69 of this prospectus, each of whom would be difficult to replace. Our advisor does not have an employment agreement with any of these key personnel and we cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, will remain affiliated with us and/or our advisor. If any of our key personnel were to cease their affiliation with our advisor, our operating results could suffer. This could occur, among other ways, if another Cole-sponsored program internalizes its advisor. If that occurs, key personnel of our advisor, who also are key personnel of the internalized advisors, would become employees of the other program and would no longer be available to our advisor. Further, we do not intend to separately maintain key person life insurance on Mr. Cole or any other person. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon our advisors ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that our advisor will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel. If our advisor loses or is unable to obtain the services of key personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of your investment may decline.
If our board of directors elects to internalize our management functions in connection with a listing of our shares of common stock on an exchange or other liquidity event, your interest in us could be diluted, and we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed.
In the future, we may undertake a listing of our common stock on an exchange or other liquidity event that may involve internalizing our management functions. If our board of directors elects to internalize our management functions, we may negotiate to acquire our advisors assets and personnel. At this time, we cannot be sure of the form or amount of consideration or other terms relating to any such acquisition. Such consideration could take many forms, including cash payments, promissory notes and shares of our stock. The payment of such consideration could result in dilution of your interests as a stockholder and could reduce the net income per share and funds from operations per share attributable to your investment. Internalization transactions involving the acquisition of advisors affiliated with entity sponsors have also, in some cases, been the subject of litigation. Even if these claims are without merit, we could be forced to spend significant amounts of money defending claims, which would reduce the amount of funds available to operate our business and to pay distributions.
In addition, while we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we expect to pay to our advisor under the advisory agreement, our direct expenses would include general and administrative costs, including legal, accounting, and other expenses related to corporate governance, including Securities and Exchange Commission reporting and compliance. We would also incur the compensation and benefits costs of our officers and other employees and consultants that we now expect will be paid by our advisor or its affiliates. In addition, we may issue equity awards to officers, employees and consultants, which awards would decrease net income and funds from operations and may further dilute your investment. If the expenses we assume as a result of an internalization are higher than the expenses we avoid paying to our advisor, our net income per share and funds from operations per share would be lower as a result of the internalization than it otherwise would have been, potentially decreasing the amount of funds available to distribute to you and the value of our shares.
As currently organized, we do not directly have any employees. If we elect to internalize our operations, we would employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes and other employee-related liabilities and grievances. Upon any internalization of our advisor, certain key personnel may not remain with our advisor, but instead will remain employees of our sponsor or its affiliates.
If we internalize our management functions, we could have difficulty integrating these functions as a stand-alone entity. Currently, our advisor and its affiliates perform asset management and general and administrative
27
functions, including accounting and financial reporting, for multiple entities. They have a great deal of know-how and can experience economies of scale. We may fail to properly identify the appropriate mix of personnel and capital needs to operate as a stand-alone entity. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could thus result in our incurring excess costs and/or have a negative effect on our results of operations.
Our participation in a co-ownership arrangement would subject us to risks that otherwise may not be present in other real estate investments.
We may enter in co-ownership arrangements with respect to a portion of the properties we acquire. Co-ownership arrangements involve risks generally not otherwise present with an investment in real estate, such as the following:
| the risk that a co-owner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals; |
| the risk that a co-owner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or our policies or objectives; |
| the possibility that an individual co-owner might become insolvent or bankrupt, or otherwise default under the applicable mortgage loan financing documents, which may constitute an event of default under all of the applicable mortgage loan financing documents or allow the bankruptcy court to reject the agreements entered into by the co-owners owning interests in the property; |
| the possibility that a co-owner might not have adequate liquid assets to make cash advances that may be required in order to fund operations, maintenance and other expenses related to the property, which could result in the loss of current or prospective tenants and otherwise adversely affect the operation and maintenance of the property, could cause a default under the mortgage loan financing documents applicable to the property and result in late charges, penalties and interest, and could lead to the exercise of foreclosure and other remedies by the lender; |
| the risk that a co-owner could breach agreements related to the property, which may cause a default under, and possibly result in personal liability in connection with, the applicable mortgage loan financing documents, violate applicable securities law, result in a foreclosure or otherwise adversely affect the property and the co-ownership arrangement; |
| the risk that a default by any co-owner would constitute a default under the applicable mortgage loan financing documents that could result in a foreclosure and the loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment made by the co-owner; |
| the risk that we could have limited control and rights, with management decisions made entirely by a third-party; and |
| the possibility that we will not have the right to sell the property at a time that otherwise could result in the property being sold for its maximum value. |
In the event that our interests become adverse to those of the other co-owners, we may not have the contractual right to purchase the co-ownership interests from the other co-owners. Even if we are given the opportunity to purchase such co-ownership interests in the future, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient funds available at the time to purchase co-ownership interests from the co-owners.
We might want to sell our co-ownership interests in a given property at a time when the other co-owners in such property do not desire to sell their interests. Therefore, because we anticipate that it will be much more difficult to find a willing buyer for our co-ownership interests in a property than it would be to find a buyer for a property we owned outright, we may not be able to sell our interest in a property at the time we would like to sell.
28
Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
We are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our advisor and its affiliates, including the material conflicts discussed below. The Conflicts of Interest section of this prospectus provides a more detailed discussion of the conflicts of interest between us and our advisor and its affiliates, and our policies to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts.
Our advisor and its affiliates, including our dealer manager, face conflicts of interest caused by their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
Our advisor and its affiliates, including our dealer manager, receive substantial fees from us under the terms of the advisory agreement and dealer manager agreement. These fees could influence the judgment of our advisor and its affiliates in performing services for us. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:
| the continuation, renewal or enforcement of our agreements with our advisor and its affiliates, including the advisory agreement and the dealer manager agreement; |
| public offerings of equity by us, which entitle our dealer manager to fees and will likely entitle our advisor to increased acquisition and asset management fees; |
| property acquisitions from other Cole-sponsored real estate programs, which might entitle affiliates of our advisor to real estate commissions and possible success-based sale fees in connection with its services for the seller; |
| property acquisitions from third parties, which entitle our advisor to acquisition fees and advisory fees; |
| property dispositions, which may entitle our advisor or its affiliates to disposition fees; |
| borrowings to acquire properties, which borrowings will increase the acquisition and asset management fees payable to our advisor; |
| whether and when we seek to sell our company, liquidate our assets or list our common stock on a national securities exchange, which liquidation or listing could entitle our advisor to the payment of fees; and |
| how and when to recommend to our board of directors a proposed strategy to provide our investors with liquidity, which proposed strategy, if implemented, could entitle our advisor to the payment of fees. |
Our advisors fee structure is principally based on the cost or book value of investments and not on performance, which could result in our advisor taking actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
The acquisition fee and the advisory fee we pay to our advisor are both based on the cost or book value of such investments. As a result, our advisor receives these fees regardless of the quality of such investments, the performance of such investments or the quality of our advisors services rendered to us in connection with such investments. This creates a potential conflict of interest between us and our advisor, as the interests of our advisor in receiving the acquisition fee and the advisory fee is not well aligned with our interest of acquiring real estate that is likely to produce the maximum risk adjusted returns.
Our advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to the incentive fee structure under our advisory agreement, which could result in actions that are not necessarily in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
Pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement, our advisor is entitled to a subordinated performance fee that is structured in a manner intended to provide incentives to our advisor to perform in our best interests and in
29
the best interests of our stockholders. However, because our advisor does not maintain a significant equity interest in us and is entitled to receive certain fees regardless of performance, our advisors interests are not wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. Furthermore, our advisor could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order for us to generate the specified levels of performance or sales proceeds that would entitle our advisor to performance-based fees. In addition, our advisor will have substantial influence with respect to how and when our board of directors elects to provide liquidity to our investors, and these performance-based fees could influence our advisors recommendations to us in this regard. Our advisor also has the right to terminate the advisory agreement under certain circumstances that could result in our advisor earning a performance fee, which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control.
A number of other Cole-sponsored real estate programs use investment strategies that are similar to ours, therefore our executive officers and the officers and key personnel of our advisor and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.
Our sponsor currently has simultaneous offerings of funds that have a substantially similar mix of fund characteristics, including targeted investment types, investment objectives and criteria, and anticipated fund terms. As a result, we may be seeking to acquire properties and other real estate-related investments at the same time as one or more of the other Cole-sponsored programs managed by officers and key personnel of our advisor and/or its affiliates, and these other Cole-sponsored programs may use investment strategies and have investment objectives that are similar to ours. Our executive officers and the executive officers of our advisor also are the executive officers of other Cole-sponsored REITs and/or their advisors, the general partners of Cole-sponsored partnerships and/or the advisors or fiduciaries of other Cole-sponsored programs. There is a risk that our advisors allocation of investment properties may result in our acquiring a property that provides lower returns to us than a property purchased by another Cole-sponsored program. In addition, we have acquired, and may continue to acquire, properties in geographic areas where other Cole-sponsored programs own properties. If one of the other Cole-sponsored programs attracts a tenant that we are competing for, we could suffer a loss of revenue due to delays in locating another suitable tenant. Similar conflicts of interest may arise if our advisor recommends that we make or purchase mortgage loans or participations in mortgage loans, since other Cole-sponsored programs may be competing with us for these investments. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate the manner in which these conflicts of interest are resolved before or after making your investment.
Our officers face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with affiliated entities, which could hinder our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to generate returns to you.
Each of our executive officers, including Mr. Cole, who also serves as the chairman of our board of directors, also is an officer of other Cole-sponsored real estate programs and of one or more entities affiliated with our advisor. As a result, these individuals have fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders, as well as to these other entities and their stockholders, members and limited partners. These fiduciary duties to such other entities and persons may create conflicts with the fiduciary duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. There is a risk that their loyalties to these other entities could result in actions or inactions that are detrimental to our business and violate their fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders, which could harm the implementation of our investment strategy and our investment and leasing opportunities. Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from involvement in activities related to (i) allocation of new investments and management time and services between us and the other entities, (ii) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, affiliated entities, (iii) the timing and terms of the investment in or sale of an asset, (iv) development of our properties by affiliates, (v) investments with affiliates of our advisor, (vi) compensation to our advisor and its affiliates, and (vii) our relationship with, and compensation to, our dealer manager. If we do not successfully implement our investment strategy, we may be unable to maintain or increase the value of our assets and our operating cash flows and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected.
30
Our advisor and its officers and key personnel face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with affiliated entities, which could hinder our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to pay distributions.
Our advisor and its officers and key personnel are officers, key personnel and partners of other real estate programs that have investment objectives, targeted assets, and legal and financial obligations similar to ours and/or the advisors to such programs, and they may have other business interests as well. In addition, we have only two executive officers, each of whom also is an officer, director and/or key person of other real estate programs that have investment objectives, targeted assets and legal and financial obligations similar to ours, and may also have other business interests. As a result, these individuals have fiduciary duties to both us and our stockholders and these other entities and their stockholders, members and limited partners. These fiduciary duties to such other entities and persons may create conflicts with the fiduciary duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. There is a risk that their loyalties to these other entities could result in actions or inactions that are detrimental to our business and violate their fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders, which could harm the implementation of our investment strategy and our investment and leasing opportunities.
Conflicts with our business and interests are most likely to arise from involvement in activities related to (i) allocation of new investments and management time and services between us and the other entities, (ii) our purchase of properties from, or sale of properties to, affiliated entities, (iii) the timing and terms of the investment in or sale of an asset, (iv) development of our properties by affiliates, (v) investments with affiliates of our advisor, (vi) compensation to our advisor and its affiliates, and (vii) our relationship with, and compensation to, our dealer manager. If we do not successfully implement our investment strategy, we may be unable to maintain or increase the value of our assets and our operating cash flows and ability to pay distributions could be adversely affected. Even if these persons do not violate their fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders, they will have competing demands on their time and resources and may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and resources between our business and these other entities. Should such persons devote insufficient time or resources to our business, returns on our investments may suffer.
Our charter permits us to acquire assets and borrow funds from affiliates of our advisor and sell or lease our assets to affiliates of our advisor, and any such transaction could result in conflicts of interest.
Under our charter, we are permitted to acquire properties from affiliates of our advisor, provided, that any and all acquisitions from affiliates of our advisor must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us that is no greater than the cost of the property to the affiliate of our advisor, unless a majority of the independent directors determines that there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and that the difference is reasonable. In no event will we acquire a property from an affiliate of our advisor if the cost to us would exceed the propertys current appraised value as determined by an independent appraiser. In the event that we acquire a property from an affiliate of our advisor, we may be foregoing an opportunity to acquire a different property that might be more advantageous to us. In addition, under our charter, we are permitted to borrow funds from affiliates of our advisor, including our sponsor, provided, that any such loans from affiliates of our advisor must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties. Under our charter, we are also permitted to sell and lease our assets to affiliates of our advisor, and we have not established a policy that specifically addresses how we will determine the sale or lease price in any such transaction. Any such sale or lease transaction would be subject to our general policy that governs all transactions with entities affiliated with our advisor. To the extent that we acquire any properties from affiliates of our advisor, borrow funds from affiliates of our advisor or sell or lease our assets to affiliates of our advisor, such transactions could result in a conflict of interest.
31
Our advisor faces conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures or other co-ownership arrangements that we enter into with other Cole-sponsored programs, which could result in a disproportionate benefit to another Cole-sponsored program.
We may enter into joint ventures with other Cole-sponsored programs for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties as well as the acquisition of real-estate related investments. Officers and key persons of our advisor also are officers and key persons of other Cole-sponsored REITs and/or their advisors, the general partners of other Cole-sponsored partnerships and/or the advisors or fiduciaries of other Cole-sponsored programs. These officers and key persons may face conflicts of interest in determining which Cole-sponsored program should enter into any particular joint venture or co-ownership arrangement. These persons also may have a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between us and the Cole-affiliated co-venturer or co-owner, as well as conflicts of interests in managing the joint venture.
In the event we enter into joint venture or other co-ownership arrangements with another Cole-sponsored program, our advisor and its affiliates may have a conflict of interest when determining when and whether to buy or sell a particular property, or to make or dispose of another real estate-related investment. In addition, if we become listed for trading on a national securities exchange, we may develop more divergent goals and objectives from a Cole-affiliated co-venturer or co-owner that is not listed for trading. In the event we enter into a joint venture or other co-ownership arrangement with a Cole-sponsored program that has a term shorter than ours, the joint venture may be required to sell its properties earlier than we may desire to sell the properties. Even if the terms of any joint venture or other co-ownership agreement between us and another Cole-sponsored program grant us the right of first refusal to buy such properties, we may not have sufficient funds or borrowing capacity to exercise our right of first refusal under these circumstances.
Since Mr. Cole and his affiliates control our advisor and the advisors to other Cole-sponsored programs, agreements and transactions between or among the parties with respect to any joint venture or other co-ownership arrangement will not have the benefit of arms-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers or co-owners, which may result in the co-venturer or co-owner receiving benefits greater than the benefits that we receive. We have adopted certain procedures for dealing with potential conflicts of interest as described in the section of this prospectus captioned Conflicts of Interest Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures.
Risks Related to This Offering and Our Corporate Structure
The dealer manager is an affiliate of our advisor, therefore you will not have the benefit of an independent review of the prospectus or of us that customarily is performed in underwritten offerings.
The dealer manager, Cole Capital Corporation, is an affiliate of our advisor and, as a result, is not in a position to make an independent review of us or this offering. Accordingly, you will have to rely on your own broker-dealer to make an independent review of the terms of this offering. If your broker-dealer conducts an independent review of this offering, and/or engages an independent due diligence reviewer to do so on its behalf, we expect that we will pay or reimburse the expenses associated with such review, which may create conflicts of interest. If your broker-dealer does not conduct such a review, you will not have the benefit of an independent review of the terms of this offering.
Payment of fees and reimbursements to our dealer manager, and our advisor and its affiliates, reduces cash available for investment.
We pay Cole Capital Corporation, our dealer manager, up to 9% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering in the form of selling commissions and a dealer manager fee, most of which is reallowed to participating broker-dealers. We also reimburse our advisor and its affiliates for up to 2.0% of our gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan, for other organization and offering expenses. Such payments will reduce the amount of cash we have available to invest in properties and
32
result in a lower total return to you than if we were able to invest 100% of the gross proceeds from this offering in properties. Moreover, dealer manager fees and selling commissions are included in the $10 per share offering price, therefore our offering price does not, and is not intended to, reflect our net asset value. In addition, we intend to pay substantial fees to our advisor and its affiliates for the services they perform for us. The payment of these fees reduces the amount of cash available for investment in properties. For a more detailed discussion of the fees payable to such entities in respect of this offering, see the Management Compensation section of this prospectus.
The limit on the number of shares a person may own may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Unless exempted by our board of directors, no person may own more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of common stock. These restrictions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium to the purchase price of our common stock for our stockholders. See the Description of Shares Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer section of this prospectus.
Our charter permits our board of directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of common stockholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our charter permits our board of directors to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of stock, including 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. In addition, our board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, may amend our charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we have authority to issue. Our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of any such stock. Shares of our common stock shall be subject to the express terms of any series of our preferred stock. Thus, if also approved by a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have a priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing the removal of incumbent management or a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium to the purchase price of our common stock for our stockholders. See the Description of Shares Preferred Stock section of this prospectus.
Maryland law prohibits certain business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us to be acquired and may limit your ability to dispose of your shares.
Under Maryland law, business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
| any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporations shares; or |
| an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation. |
33
A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he or she otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by our board of directors.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
| 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and |
| two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. |
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporations stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. The business combination statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the statute, our board of directors has exempted any business combination involving our advisor or any affiliate of our advisor. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and our advisor or any affiliate of our advisor. As a result, our advisor and any affiliate of our advisor may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the super-majority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. For a more detailed discussion of the Maryland laws governing us and the ownership of our shares of common stock, see the section of this prospectus captioned Description of Shares Business Combinations.
Maryland law also limits the ability of a third party to buy a large percentage of our outstanding shares and exercise voting control in electing directors.
Under its Control Share Acquisition Act, Maryland law also provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by the corporations disinterested stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of stock owned by interested stockholders, that is, by the acquirer, or officers of the corporation or employees of the corporation who are directors of the corporation, are excluded from shares entitled to vote on the matter. Control shares are voting shares of stock that would entitle the acquirer, except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, to exercise voting control in electing directors within specified ranges of voting control. Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition means the acquisition of control shares. The control share acquisition statute does not apply (a) to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or (b) to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions of our stock by Cole Capital Advisors or any affiliate of Cole Capital Advisors. This statute could have the effect of discouraging offers from third parties to acquire us and increasing the difficulty of successfully completing this type of offer by anyone other than our advisor or any of its affiliates. For a more detailed discussion on the Maryland laws governing control share acquisitions, see the section of this prospectus captioned Description of Shares Control Share Acquisitions.
34
Our charter includes an anti-takeover provision that may discourage a stockholder from launching a tender offer for our shares.
Our charter requires that any tender offer, including any mini-tender offer, must comply with Regulation 14D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The offering person must provide our company notice of the tender offer at least ten business days before initiating the tender offer. If the offering person does not comply with these requirements, we will have the right to redeem that persons shares and any shares acquired in such tender offer. In addition, the non-complying person shall be responsible for all of our expenses in connection with that persons noncompliance. This provision of our charter may discourage a person from initiating a tender offer for our shares and prevent you from receiving a premium to your purchase price for your shares in such a transaction.
If we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we could not continue our current business plan, which may significantly reduce the value of your investment.
We intend to conduct our operations, and the operations of our operating partnership and any other subsidiaries, so that no such entity meets the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, a company is an investment company if:
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(A), it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or |
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(C), it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis (the 40% test). Investment securities excludes U.S. Government securities and securities of majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. |
We intend to monitor our operations and our assets on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, meet the definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act imposing, among other things:
| limitations on capital structure; |
| restrictions on specified investments; |
| restrictions on specified investments; |
| prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; |
| compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly change our operations; and |
| potentially, compliance with daily valuation requirements. |
In order for us to not meet the definition of an investment company and avoid regulation under the Investment Company Act, we must engage primarily in the business of buying real estate, and these investments must be made within a year after the offering ends. If we are unable to invest a significant portion of the proceeds of this offering in properties within one year of the termination of the offering, we may avoid being required to register as an investment company by temporarily investing any unused proceeds in certificates of deposit or other cash items with low returns. This would reduce the cash available for distribution to investors and possibly lower your returns.
To avoid meeting the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we
35
would otherwise wish to retain. Similarly, we may have to acquire additional income or loss generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forgo opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy. Accordingly, our board of directors may not be able to change our investment policies as our board of directors may deem appropriate if such change would cause us to meet the definition of an investment company. In addition, a change in the value of any of our assets could negatively affect our ability to avoid being required to register as an investment company. If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court were to require enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.
If you do not agree with the decisions of our board of directors, you only have limited control over changes in our policies and operations and may not be able to change such policies and operations.
Our board of directors determines our major policies, including our policies regarding investments, financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the stockholders. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our stockholders generally have a right to vote only on the following:
| the election or removal of directors; |
| any amendment of our charter, except that our board of directors may amend our charter without stockholder approval to increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares, to increase or decrease the number of our shares of any class or series that we have the authority to issue, to change our name, to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of shares and to establish the terms of such shares, and to change the name or other designation or the par value of any class or series of our stock and the aggregate par value of our stock or to effect certain reverse stock splits; provided, however, that any amendment that would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the stockholders must be approved by the stockholders; |
| our dissolution; and |
| a merger or consolidation of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. |
All other matters are subject to the discretion of our board of directors.
Our board of directors may change certain of our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of your investment.
Our charter requires that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we are following are in the best interest of the stockholders. These policies may change over time. The methods of implementing our investment policies also may vary, as new real estate development trends emerge and new investment techniques are developed. Subject to certain limits set forth in our charter and as may be required to avoid meeting the definition of an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies and procedures may be altered by our board of directors without the approval of our stockholders, unless otherwise provided in our organizational documents. As a result, the nature of your investment could change without your consent.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our officers, directors and our advisor are limited, which could reduce your and our recovery against them if they cause us to incur losses.
Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the corporations best interests and with the care
36
that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our charter, in the case of our directors and officers, and our charter and the advisory agreement, in the case of our advisor and its affiliates, require us, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors, our officers, and our advisor and its affiliates. Our charter permits us to provide such indemnification and advance for expenses to our employees and agents. Additionally, our charter limits, subject to certain exceptions, the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for monetary damages. Although our charter does not allow us to indemnify our directors or our advisor and its affiliates for any liability or loss suffered by them or hold harmless our directors or our advisor and its affiliates for any loss or liability suffered by us to a greater extent than permitted under Maryland law or the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts published by the North American Securities Administrators Association, also known as the NASAA REIT Guidelines, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, and our advisor and its affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce your and our recovery against them. In addition, our advisor is not required to retain cash to pay potential liabilities and it may not have sufficient cash available to pay liabilities if they arise. If our advisor is held liable for a breach of its fiduciary duty to us, or a breach of its contractual obligations to us, we may not be able to collect the full amount of any claims we may have against our advisor. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents or our advisor in some cases, which would decrease the cash otherwise available for distribution to you. See the section captioned Management Limited Liability and Indemnification of Our Directors, Officers, Advisor and Other Agents elsewhere in this prospectus.
Your interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares.
Existing stockholders and potential investors in this offering do not have preemptive rights to any shares issued by us in the future. Our charter currently has authorized 500,000,000 shares of stock, of which 490,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 10,000,000 are designated as preferred stock. Subject to any limitations set forth under Maryland law, our board of directors may increase the number of authorized shares of stock, increase or decrease the number of shares of any class or series of stock designated, or classify or reclassify any unissued shares without the necessity of obtaining stockholder approval. All of such shares may be issued in the discretion of our board of directors, except that the issuance of preferred stock must also be approved by a majority of our independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction. Investors purchasing shares in this offering likely will suffer dilution of their equity investment in us, in the event that we (1) sell shares in this offering or sell additional shares in the future, including those issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, (2) sell securities that are convertible into shares of our common stock, (3) issue shares of our common stock in a private offering of securities to institutional investors, (4) issue shares of our common stock to our advisor, its successors or assigns, in payment of an outstanding fee obligation as set forth under our advisory agreement or (5) issue shares of our common stock to sellers of properties acquired by us in connection with an exchange of limited partnership interests of our operating partnership. In addition, the partnership agreement for our operating partnership contains provisions that would allow, under certain circumstances, other entities, including other Cole-sponsored programs, to merge into or cause the exchange or conversion of their interest in that entity for interests of our operating partnership. Because the limited partnership interests of our operating partnership may, in the discretion of our board of directors, be exchanged for shares of our common stock, any merger, exchange or conversion between our operating partnership and another entity ultimately could result in the issuance of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, thereby diluting the percentage ownership interest of other stockholders. Because of these and other reasons described in this Risk Factors section, you should not expect to be able to own a significant percentage of our shares.

General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate
Our operating results will be affected by economic and regulatory changes that have an adverse impact on the real estate market in general, which may prevent us from being profitable or from realizing growth in the value of our real estate properties.
Our operating results will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:
| changes in general economic or local conditions; |
| changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area; |
| changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive; |
| the illiquidity of real estate investments generally; |
| changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws; and |
| periods of high interest rates and tight money supply. |
These risk and other factors may prevent us from being profitable, or from maintaining or growing the value of our real estate properties.
Many of our properties may depend upon a single tenant, or a limited number of major tenants, for all or a majority of its rental income; therefore, our financial condition and ability to make distributions to you may be adversely affected by the bankruptcy or insolvency, a downturn in the business, or a lease termination of a single tenant.
Many of our properties may be occupied by only one tenant or derive a majority of its rental income from a limited number of major tenants and, therefore, the success of those properties will be materially dependent on the financial stability of such tenants. Such tenants face competition within their industries and other factors that could reduce their ability to make rent payments. For example, our retail tenants face competition from other retailers, as well as competition from other retail channels, such as factory outlet centers, wholesale clubs, mail order catalogs, television shopping networks and various developing forms of e-commerce. In addition, our retail properties will be located in public places, where crimes, violence and other incidents may occur. Such incidents could reduce the amount of business conducted by the tenants at our properties, thus reducing the tenants abilities to pay rent, and such incidents could also expose us to civil liability, as the property owner. Furthermore, if we invest in industrial properties, a general reduction in U.S. manufacturing activity could reduce our manufacturing tenants abilities to pay rent. Lease payment defaults by tenants could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions we pay. A default of a tenant on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose revenue from the property and force us to find an alternative source of revenue to meet any expenses associated with the property and prevent a foreclosure if the property is subject to a mortgage. In the event of a default by a single or major tenant, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting the property. If a lease is terminated, we may not be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss. A default by a tenant, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations or other premature termination of a lease, or a tenants election not to extend a lease upon its expiration, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to pay distributions to you.
A high concentration of our properties in a particular geographic area, or with tenants in a similar industry, would magnify the effects of downturns in that geographic area or industry.
In the event that we have a concentration of properties in any particular geographic area, any adverse situation that disproportionately affects that geographic area would have a magnified adverse effect on our portfolio. Similarly, if tenants of our properties become concentrated in a certain industry or industries, any adverse effect to that industry generally would have a disproportionately adverse effect on our portfolio.
38
If a major tenant declares bankruptcy, we may be unable to collect balances due under relevant leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to pay distributions to you.
We may experience concentration in one or more tenants. Any of our tenants, or any guarantor of one of our tenants lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding pursuant to Title 11 of the bankruptcy laws of the United States. Such a bankruptcy filing would bar us from attempting to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from the bankrupt tenant or its properties unless we receive an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. Post-bankruptcy debts would be paid currently. If we assume a lease, all pre-bankruptcy balances owing under it must be paid in full. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have a general unsecured claim for damages. If a lease is rejected, it is unlikely we would receive any payments from the tenant because our claim would be capped at the rent reserved under the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year or 15% of the remaining term of the lease, but not greater than three years, plus rent already due but unpaid. This claim could be paid only in the event funds were available, and then only in the same percentage as that realized on other unsecured claims.
The bankruptcy of a tenant or lease guarantor could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant lease, and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. Such an event also could cause a decrease or cessation of current rental payments, reducing our operating cash flows and the amount available for distributions to you. In the event a tenant or lease guarantor declares bankruptcy, the tenant or its trustee may not assume our lease or its guaranty. If a given lease or guaranty is not assumed, our operating cash flows and the amounts available for distributions to you may be adversely affected. The bankruptcy of a major tenant could have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay distributions to you.
If a sale-leaseback transaction is re-characterized in a tenants bankruptcy proceeding, our financial condition could be adversely affected.
We may enter into sale-leaseback transactions, whereby we would purchase a property and then lease the same property back to the person from whom we purchased it. In the event of the bankruptcy of a tenant, a transaction structured as a sale-leaseback may be re-characterized as either a financing or a joint venture, either of which outcomes could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flow and the amount available for distributions to you.
If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a financing, we might not be considered the owner of the property, and as a result would have the status of a creditor in relation to the tenant. In that event, we would no longer have the right to sell or encumber our ownership interest in the property. Instead, we would have a claim against the tenant for the amounts owed under the lease, with the claim arguably secured by the property. The tenant/debtor might have the ability to propose a plan restructuring the term, interest rate and amortization schedule of its outstanding balance. If confirmed by the bankruptcy court, we could be bound by the new terms, and prevented from foreclosing our lien on the property. If the sale-leaseback were re-characterized as a joint venture, our lessee and we could be treated as co-venturers with regard to the property. As a result, we could be held liable, under some circumstances, for debts incurred by the lessee relating to the property.
Challenging economic conditions could adversely affect vacancy rates, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to make distributions and the value of an investment in our shares.
Challenging economic conditions, the availability and cost of credit, turmoil in the mortgage market, and declining real estate markets have contributed to increased vacancy rates in the commercial real estate sector. If we experience vacancy rates that are higher than historical vacancy rates, we may have to offer lower rental rates and greater tenant improvements or concessions than expected. Increased vacancies may have a greater impact on us, as compared to REITs with other investment strategies, as our investment approach relies on long-term leases in order to provide a relatively stable stream of income for our stockholders. As a result, increased vacancy rates could have the following negative effects on us:
| the values of our potential investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amount paid for such investments; |
39
| revenues from such properties could decrease due to low or no rental income during vacant periods, lower future rental rates and/or increased tenant improvement expenses or concessions; and/or |
| revenues from such properties that secure loans could decrease, making it more difficult for us to meet our payment obligations. |
All of these factors could impair our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of an investment in our shares.
Properties that have vacancies for a significant period of time could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on your investment.
A property may incur vacancies either by the continued default of a tenant under its leases, the expiration of a tenant lease or early termination of a lease by a tenant. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to you. In addition, because a propertys market value depends principally upon the value of the propertys leases, the resale value of a property with prolonged vacancies could decline, which could further reduce your return.
We may be unable to secure funds for future tenant improvements or capital needs, which could adversely impact our ability to pay cash distributions to you.
When tenants do not renew their leases or otherwise vacate their space, it is usual that, in order to attract replacement tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to the vacated space. In addition, although we expect that our leases with tenants will require tenants to pay routine property maintenance costs, we will likely be responsible for any major structural repairs, such as repairs to the foundation, exterior walls and rooftops. We will use substantially all of the gross proceeds from this offering to buy real estate and real estate-related investments and to pay various fees and expenses. We intend to reserve only approximately 0.1% of the gross proceeds from this offering for future capital needs. Accordingly, if we need additional capital in the future to improve or maintain our properties or for any other reason, we will have to obtain funds from other sources, such as cash flow from operations, borrowings, property sales or future equity offerings. These sources of funding may not be available on attractive terms or at all. If we cannot procure additional funding for capital improvements, our investments may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both.
We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.
The seller of a property often sells such property in its as is condition on a where is basis and with all faults, without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property, as well as the loss of rental income from that property.
Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so could adversely impact our ability to pay cash distributions to you.
The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates, supply and demand, and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We may not have adequate funds available to correct such defects or to make such improvements. Moreover, in acquiring a property, we may
40
agree to restrictions that prohibit the sale of that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. We cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Our inability to sell a property when we desire to do so may cause us to reduce our selling price for the property. Any delay in our receipt of proceeds, or diminishment of proceeds, from the sale of a property could adversely impact our ability to pay distributions to you.
We are exposed to risks related to increases in market lease rates and inflation, as income from long-term leases will be the primary source of our cash flows from operations.
We are exposed to risks related to increases in market lease rates and inflation, as income from long-term leases will be the primary source of our cash flows from operations. Leases of long-term duration or which include renewal options that specify a maximum rate increase may result in below-market lease rates over time if we do not accurately estimate inflation or market lease rates. Provisions of our leases designed to mitigate the risk of inflation and unexpected increases in market lease rates, such as periodic rental increases, may not adequately protect us from the impact of inflation or unexpected increases in market lease rates. If we are subject to below-market lease rates on a significant number of our properties pursuant to long-term leases, our cash flow from operations and financial position may be adversely affected.
We may not be able to sell our properties at a price equal to, or greater than, the price for which we purchased such property, which may lead to a decrease in the value of our assets.
Some of our leases will not contain rental increases over time. When that is the case, the value of the leased property to a potential purchaser may not increase over time, which may restrict our ability to sell that property, or if we are able to sell that property, may result in a sale price less than the price that we paid to purchase the property.
We may acquire or finance properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
A lock-out provision is a provision that prohibits the prepayment of a loan during a specified period of time. Lock-out provisions may include terms that provide strong financial disincentives for borrowers to prepay their outstanding loan balance and exist in order to protect the yield expectations of investors. We expect that many of our properties will be subject to lock-out provisions. Lock-out provisions could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties when we may desire to do so. Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness on a non-recourse basis at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that could be in the best interests of our stockholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of our shares relative to the value that would result if the lock-out provisions did not exist. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.
Increased operating expenses could reduce cash flow from operations and funds available to acquire investments or make distributions.
Our properties will be subject to operating risks common to real estate in general, any or all of which may negatively affect us. If any property is not fully occupied or if rents are being paid in an amount that is insufficient to cover operating expenses, we could be required to expend funds with respect to that property for operating expenses. The properties will be subject to increases in tax rates, utility costs, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance costs, administrative costs and other operating expenses. Some of our property leases may not
41
require the tenants to pay all or a portion of these expenses, in which event we may have to pay these costs. If we are unable to lease properties on terms that require the tenants to pay all or some of the properties operating expenses, if our tenants fail to pay these expenses as required or if expenses we are required to pay exceed our expectations, we could have less funds available for future acquisitions or cash available for distributions to you.
Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions may negatively affect our returns and profitability.
Our operating results may be affected by market and economic challenges, which may result from a continued or exacerbated general economic downturn experienced by the nation as a whole, by the local economies where our properties may be located, or by the real estate industry including the following:
| poor economic conditions may result in tenant defaults under leases; |
| poor economic conditions may result in lower revenue to us from retailers who pay us a percentage of their revenues under percentage rent leases; |
| re-leasing may require concessions or reduced rental rates under the new leases; |
| changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds that may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive; |
| constricted access to credit may result in tenant defaults or non-renewals under leases; and |
| increased insurance premiums may reduce funds available for distribution or, to the extent such increases are passed through to tenants, may lead to tenant defaults. Increased insurance premiums may make it difficult to increase rents to tenants on turnover, which may adversely affect our ability to increase our returns. |
The length and severity of any economic slow down or downturn cannot be predicted. Our operations could be negatively affected to the extent that an economic slow down or downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.
The United States armed conflicts in various parts of the world could have a further impact on our tenants. The consequences of any armed conflict are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our tenants, our business or your investment. More generally, any of these events could result in increased volatility in or damage to the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. They also could result in higher energy costs and increased economic uncertainty in the United States or abroad. Our revenues will be dependent upon payment of rent by retailers, which may be particularly vulnerable to uncertainty in the local economy. Adverse economic conditions could affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to pay distributions to you.
The current market environment may adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.
The global financial markets have undergone pervasive and fundamental disruptions since mid-2007. The disruptions in the global financial markets had an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally. The continuing impact of the recent global economic recession has the potential to materially affect the value of our properties and other investments we make, the availability or the terms of financing that we may anticipate utilizing, and our ability to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance, any outstanding debt when due, and/or, for our leased properties, the ability of our tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or satisfy rental payments under existing leases. The current market environment also could affect our operating results and financial condition as follows:
| Debt Markets Since 2010, the volume of mortgage lending for commercial real estate has been increasing and lending terms have improved and continue to improve; however the real estate debt |
42
markets could begin experiencing increasing volatility as a result of certain factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies. Should overall borrowing costs increase, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, our operations may generate lower returns. In addition, dislocations in the debt markets could reduce the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which, in turn: (1) limits the ability of real estate investors to make new acquisitions and to potentially benefit from reduced real estate values or to realize enhanced returns on real estate investments; (2) could slow real estate transaction activity; and (3) may result in an inability to refinance debt as it becomes due. In addition, deterioration in the state of the debt markets could have a material adverse impact on the overall amount of capital being invested in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets and impact our ability to raise equity capital. In addition, the failure of any lending source with which we entered, or enter, into a credit facility or line of credit would adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations if we were unable to replace the funding source. |
| Real Estate Markets The global economic recession caused commercial real estate values to decline substantially. The U.S. commercial real estate markets began a recovery in 2010 which has continued through 2011 and into 2012. However, if the global recession were to persist or worsen, or it were to affect the U.S. financial markets, there may be uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of the properties we own or may acquire that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. Consequently, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, which may require us to recognize an impairment charge in earnings. |
| Government Intervention The disruptions in the global financial markets have led to extensive and unprecedented government intervention. Although the government intervention is intended to stimulate the flow of capital and to strengthen the U.S. economy in the short term, it is impossible to predict the actual effect of the government intervention and what effect, if any, additional interim or permanent governmental intervention may have on the financial markets and/or the effect of such intervention on us. |
The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions and make additional investments.
We have diversified, and expect to continue to diversify, our cash and cash equivalents among several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only insures amounts up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank. We likely will have cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we deposit funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over $250,000. The loss of our deposits could reduce the amount of cash we have available to distribute or invest and could result in a decline in the value of your investment.
If we suffer losses that are not covered by insurance or that are in excess of insurance coverage, we could lose invested capital and anticipated profits.
Generally, our tenants are responsible for insuring its goods and premises and, in some circumstances, may be required to reimburse us for a share of the cost of acquiring comprehensive insurance for the property, including casualty, liability, fire and extended coverage customarily obtained for similar properties in amounts that our advisor determines are sufficient to cover reasonably foreseeable losses. Tenants of single-user properties leased on a triple net basis typically are required to pay all insurance costs associated with those properties. Material losses may occur in excess of insurance proceeds with respect to any property, as insurance may not be sufficient to fund the losses. However, there are types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential terrorist acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, mortgage lenders in some
43
cases insist that commercial property owners purchase specific coverage against terrorism as a condition for providing mortgage loans. It is uncertain whether such insurance policies will be available, or available at reasonable cost, which could inhibit our ability to finance or refinance our potential properties. In these instances, we may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. We may not have adequate, or any, coverage for such losses. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 is designed for a sharing of terrorism losses between insurance companies and the federal government. We cannot be certain how this act will impact us or what additional cost to us, if any, could result. If such an event damaged or destroyed one or more of our properties, we could lose both our invested capital and anticipated profits from such property.
Real estate related taxes may increase, and if these increases are not passed on to tenants, our income will be reduced.
Local real property tax assessors may reassess our properties, which may result in increased taxes. Generally, property taxes increase as property values or assessment rates change, or for other reasons deemed relevant by property tax assessors. An increase in the assessed valuation of a property for real estate tax purposes will result in an increase in the related real estate taxes on that property. Although some tenant leases may permit us to pass through such tax increases to the tenants for payment, renewal leases or future leases may not be negotiated on the same basis. Tax increases not passed through to tenants may adversely affect our income, cash available for distributions, and the amount of distributions to you.
CC&Rs may restrict our ability to operate a property.
Some of our properties will be contiguous to other parcels of real property, comprising part of the same retail center. In connection with such properties, we will be subject to significant covenants, conditions and restrictions, known as CC&Rs, restricting the operation of such properties and any improvements on such properties, and related to granting easements on such properties. Moreover, the operation and management of the contiguous properties may impact such properties. Compliance with CC&Rs may adversely affect our operating costs and reduce the amount of funds that we have available to pay distributions to you.
Our operating results may be negatively affected by potential development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks.
We may use proceeds from this offering to acquire properties upon which we will construct improvements. If we engage in development or construction projects, we will be subject to uncertainties associated with re-zoning for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups, and our builders ability to build in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs, and timetables. If a builder fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance. A builders performance may also be affected or delayed by conditions beyond the builders control. Delays in completion of construction could also give tenants the right to terminate preconstruction leases. We may incur additional risks if we make periodic progress payments or other advances to builders before they complete construction. These and other such factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and our return on our investment could suffer.
We may invest in unimproved real property. Returns from development of unimproved properties are also subject to risks associated with re-zoning the land for development and environmental concerns of governmental entities and/or community groups.
44
If we contract with a development company for newly developed property, our earnest money deposit made to the development company may not be fully refunded.
We may enter into one or more contracts, either directly or indirectly through joint ventures with other Cole-sponsored programs or others, to acquire real property from a development company that is engaged in construction and development of commercial real properties. Properties acquired from a development company may be either existing income-producing properties, properties to be developed or properties under development. We anticipate that we will be obligated to pay a substantial earnest money deposit at the time of contracting to acquire such properties. In the case of properties to be developed by a development company, we anticipate that we will be required to close the purchase of the property upon completion of the development of the property. At the time of contracting and the payment of the earnest money deposit by us, the development company typically will not have acquired title to any real property. Typically, the development company will only have a contract to acquire land, a development agreement to develop a building on the land and an agreement with one or more tenants to lease all or part of the property upon its completion. We may enter into such a contract with the development company even if at the time we enter into the contract, we have not yet raised sufficient proceeds in our offering to enable us to close the purchase of such property. However, we may not be required to close a purchase from the development company, and may be entitled to a refund of our earnest money, in the following circumstances:
| the development company fails to develop the property; |
| all or a specified portion of the pre-leased tenants fail to take possession under their leases for any reason; or |
| we are unable to raise sufficient proceeds from our offering to pay the purchase price at closing. |
The obligation of the development company to refund our earnest money will be unsecured, and we may not be able to obtain a refund of such earnest money deposit from it under these circumstances since the development company may be an entity without substantial assets or operations.
If we purchase an option to acquire a property but do not exercise the option, we likely would forfeit the amount we paid for such option, which would reduce the amount of cash we have available to make other investments.
In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may obtain an option to purchase such property. The amount paid for an option, if any, normally is forfeited if the property is not purchased and normally is credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased. If we purchase an option to acquire a property but do not exercise the option, we likely would forfeit the amount we paid for such option, which would reduce the amount of cash we have available to make other investments.
Competition with third parties in acquiring properties and other investments may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.
We will compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs, real estate limited partnerships, and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Larger competitors may enjoy significant advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase. Any such increase would result in increased demand for these assets and therefore increased prices paid for them. If we pay higher prices for properties and other investments as a result of competition with third parties without a corresponding increase in tenant lease rates, our profitability will be reduced, and you may experience a lower return on your investment.
45
Our properties face competition that may affect tenants ability to pay rent and the amount of rent paid to us may affect the cash available for distributions to you and the amount of distributions.
We typically will acquire properties located in developed areas. Therefore, there likely will be numerous other retail properties within the market area of each of our properties that will compete with us for tenants. The number of competitive properties could have a material effect on our ability to rent space at our properties and the amount of rents charged. We could be adversely affected if additional competitive properties are built in close proximity to our properties, causing increased competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants. This could result in decreased cash flow from tenants and may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise made, thus affecting cash available for distributions to you and the amount of distributions we pay.
Acquiring or attempting to acquire multiple properties in a single transaction may adversely affect our operations.
From time to time, we may acquire multiple properties in a single transaction. Portfolio acquisitions are more complex and expensive than single property acquisitions, and the risk that a multiple-property acquisition does not close may be greater than in a single-property acquisition. Portfolio acquisitions may also result in us owning investments in geographically dispersed markets, placing additional demands on our ability to manage the properties in the portfolio. In addition, a seller may require that a group of properties be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase one or more properties in the portfolio. In these situations, if we are unable to identify another person or entity to acquire the unwanted properties, we may be required to operate or attempt to dispose of these properties. To acquire multiple properties in a single transaction we may be required to accumulate a large amount of cash. We would expect the returns that we earn on such cash to be less than the ultimate returns on real property, therefore accumulating such cash could reduce our funds available for distributions to you. Any of the foregoing events may have an adverse effect on our operations.
If we set aside insufficient capital reserves, we may be required to defer necessary capital improvements.
If we do not have enough reserves for capital to supply needed funds for capital improvements throughout the life of the investment in a property and there is insufficient cash flow from operations, we may be required to defer necessary improvements to a property, which may cause that property to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence or a decline in value, or a greater risk of decreased operating cash flows as a result of fewer potential tenants being attracted to the property. If this happens, we may not be able to maintain projected rental rates for affected properties, and our results of operations may be negatively impacted.
Costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations may adversely affect our income and the cash available for any distributions.
All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to use such property as collateral for future borrowing.
Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental
46
liability. Additionally, our properties may be affected by our tenants operations, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations that we may be required to comply with, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance. Any material expenditures, fines, or damages we must pay will reduce our ability to make distributions to you and may reduce the value of your investment.
From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. In such an instance, we will estimate the costs of environmental investigation, clean-up and monitoring in determining the purchase price. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.
We may not obtain an independent third-party environmental assessment for every property we acquire. In addition, any such assessment that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims would materially adversely affect our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to you.
Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could materially adversely affect our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to you.
If we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flow from operations.
In some instances we may sell our properties by providing financing to purchasers. When we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default on its obligations under the financing, which could negatively impact cash flow from operations. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the distribution of sale proceeds, or their reinvestment in other assets, will be delayed until the promissory notes or other property we may accept upon the sale are actually paid, sold, refinanced or otherwise disposed of. In some cases, we may receive initial down payments in cash and other property in the year of sale in an amount less than the selling price, and subsequent payments will be spread over a number of years. If any purchaser defaults under a financing arrangement with us, it could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions to you.
47
Our costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, may affect cash available for distributions.
Our properties generally will be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (Disabilities Act). Under the Disabilities Act, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Disabilities Act has separate compliance requirements for public accommodations and commercial facilities that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The Disabilities Acts requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties, or, in some cases, an award of damages. We will attempt to acquire properties that comply with the Disabilities Act or place the burden on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, to ensure compliance with the Disabilities Act. However, we may not be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. If we cannot, our funds used for Disabilities Act compliance may affect cash available for distributions and the amount of distributions to you.
A proposed change in U.S. accounting standards for leases could reduce the overall demand to lease our properties.
The existing accounting standards for leases require lessees to classify their leases as either capital or operating leases. Under a capital lease, both the leased asset, which represents the tenants right to use the property, and the contractual lease obligation are recorded on the tenants balance sheet if one of the following criteria are met: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessee by the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (iii) the non-cancellable lease term is more than 75% of the useful life of the asset; or (iv) if the present value of the minimum lease payments equals 90% or more of the leased propertys fair value. If the terms of the lease do not meet these criteria, the lease is considered an operating lease, and no leased asset or contractual lease obligation is recorded by the tenant.
In order to address concerns raised by the SEC regarding the transparency of contractual lease obligations of lessees under the existing accounting standards for operating leases, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB) initiated a joint project to develop new guidelines to lease accounting. The FASB and IASB (collectively, the Boards) issued exposure drafts on August 17, 2010 (the Exposure Drafts), which propose substantial changes to the current lease accounting standards, primarily by eliminating the concept of operating lease accounting. As a result, a lease asset and obligation would be recorded on the tenants balance sheet for all lease arrangements. In addition, the Exposure Drafts will impact the method in which contractual lease payments will be recorded. In order to mitigate the effect of the proposed lease accounting, tenants may seek to negotiate certain terms within new lease arrangements or modify terms in existing lease arrangements, such as shorter lease terms or fewer extension options, which would generally have less impact on tenant balance sheets. Also, tenants may reassess their lease-versus-buy strategies. This could result in a greater renewal risk, a delay in investing our offering proceeds, or shorter lease terms, all of which may negatively impact our operations and our ability to pay distributions to you.
The Exposure Drafts do not include a proposed effective date, are still being deliberated, and are subject to change. The Boards intend to complete their deliberations and publish revised exposure drafts by the end of 2012; however, final standards are not expected to be issued until 2013.
Risks Associated with Debt Financing
We may incur mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which may increase our business risks, hinder our ability to make distributions, and decrease the value of your investment.
We likely will acquire real estate and other real estate-related investments by borrowing new funds. In addition, we may incur mortgage debt and pledge all or some of our real properties as security for that debt to obtain funds to acquire additional real properties and other investments and to pay distributions to stockholders.
48
We may borrow additional funds if we need funds to satisfy the REIT tax qualification requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders. We may also borrow additional funds if we otherwise deem it necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Our advisor believes that utilizing borrowing is consistent with our investment objective of maximizing the return to investors. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any individual property or other investment. However, under our charter, we are required to limit our borrowings to 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with a justification for such excess borrowing. Moreover, our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless such borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with a justification for such excess borrowing. Our borrowings will not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the NASAA REIT Guidelines; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. We expect that from time to time during the period of this offering we will request that our independent directors approve borrowings in excess of these limitations since we will then be in the process of raising our equity capital to acquire our portfolio. We expect that during
the period of this offering, high debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges, would result in higher debt service payments, and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute to you and could result in a decline in the value of your investment.
We do not intend to incur mortgage debt on a particular property unless we believe the propertys projected operating cash flow is sufficient to service the mortgage debt. However, if there is a shortfall between the cash flow from a property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on a property, the amount available for distributions to you may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. In that case, we could lose the property securing the loan that is in default, thus reducing the value of your investment. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds from the foreclosure. In such event, we may be unable to pay the amount of distributions required in order to maintain our REIT status. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt to the entities that own our properties. If we provide a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our ability to pay cash distributions to you will be adversely affected, which could result in our losing our REIT status and would result in a decrease in the value of your investment.
High interest rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire and the amount of cash distributions we can make to you.
We run the risk of being unable to finance or refinance our properties on favorable terms or at all. If interest rates are higher when we desire to mortgage our properties or when existing loans come due and the properties need to be refinanced, we may not be able to finance the properties and we would be required to use cash to purchase or repay outstanding obligations. Our inability to use debt to finance or refinance our properties could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, which could reduce our operating cash flows and the amount of cash distributions we can make to you. Higher costs of capital also could negatively impact operating cash flows and returns on our investments.
49
Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to you.
We may incur indebtedness that bears interest at a variable rate. To the extent that we incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could reduce our operating cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to you. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times that may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to you.
In connection with providing us financing, a lender could impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. In general, our loan agreements restrict our ability to encumber or otherwise transfer our interest in the respective property without the prior consent of the lender. Loan documents we enter into may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage the property, discontinue insurance coverage or replace CR IV Advisors as our advisor. These or other limitations imposed by a lender may adversely affect our flexibility and our ability to achieve our investment and operating objectives, which could limit our ability to make distributions to you.
Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to you.
We may finance our property acquisitions using interest-only mortgage indebtedness. During the interest-only period, the amount of each scheduled payment will be less than that of a traditional amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan will not be reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal during this period. After the interest-only period, we will be required either to make scheduled payments of amortized principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or balloon payment at maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan. If the mortgage loan has an adjustable interest rate, the amount of our scheduled payments also may increase at a time of rising interest rates. Increased payments and substantial principal or balloon maturity payments will reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders because cash otherwise available for distribution will be required to pay principal and interest associated with these mortgage loans.
Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and may depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing or our ability to sell the property. At the time the balloon payment is due, we may or may not be able to refinance the loan on terms as favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. The effect of a refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected time of disposition of our assets. In addition, payments of principal and interest made to service our debts may leave us with insufficient cash to pay the distributions that we are required to pay to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Any of these results would have a significant, negative impact on your investment.
To hedge against exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, we may use derivative financial instruments that may be costly and ineffective and may reduce the overall returns on your investment.
We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in exchange rates and interest rates on loans secured by our assets and investments in commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS). Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions will be determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from time to time.
To the extent that we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, we will be exposed to credit risk, basis risk and legal enforceability risks. In this context, credit risk
50
is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. Basis risk occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. Finally, legal enforceability risks encompass general contractual risks, including the risk that the counterparty will breach the terms of, or fail to perform its obligations under, the derivative contract. If we are unable to manage these risks effectively, our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to you will be adversely affected.
Risks Associated with Investments in Mortgage, Bridge and Mezzanine Loans and Real Estate-Related Securities
Investing in mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans could adversely affect our return on our loan investments.
We may make or acquire mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, or participations in such loans, to the extent our advisor determines that it is advantageous for us to do so. However, if we make or invest in mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, we will be at risk of defaults on those loans caused by many conditions beyond our control, including local and other economic conditions affecting real estate values, interest rate changes, rezoning, and failure by the borrower to maintain the property. If there are defaults under these loans, we may not be able to repossess and sell quickly any properties securing such loans. An action to foreclose on a property securing a loan is regulated by state statutes and regulations and is subject to many of the delays and expenses of any lawsuit brought in connection with the foreclosure if the defendant raises defenses or counterclaims. In the event of default by a mortgagor, these restrictions, among other things, may impede our ability to foreclose on or sell the mortgaged property or to obtain proceeds sufficient to repay all amounts due to us on the loan, which could reduce the value of our investment in the defaulted loan. In addition, investments in mezzanine loans involve a higher degree of risk than long-term senior mortgage loans secured by income-producing real property because the investment may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure on the underlying real property by the senior lender.
We may invest in various types of real estate-related securities.
Aside from investments in real estate, we are permitted to invest in real estate-related securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, CMBS, mortgage, bridge, mezzanine or other loans and Section 1031 tenant-in-common interests, and we may invest in real estate-related securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies. We are focused, however, on acquiring interests in retail and other income-producing properties. We may not have the expertise necessary to maximize the return on our investment in real estate-related securities. If our advisor determines that it is advantageous to us to make the types of investments in which our advisor or its affiliates do not have experience, our advisor intends to employ persons, engage consultants or partner with third parties that have, in our advisors opinion, the relevant expertise necessary to assist our advisor in evaluating, making and administering such investments.
Investments in real estate-related securities will be subject to specific risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities and may be subject to the general risks of investing in subordinated real estate securities, which may result in losses to us.
Our investments in real estate-related securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer. Issuers of real estate-related equity securities generally invest in real estate or real estate-related assets and are subject to the inherent risks associated with real estate-related investments discussed in this prospectus, including risks relating to rising interest rates.
Real estate-related securities are often unsecured and also may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. As a result, investments in real estate-related securities are subject to risks of (1) limited liquidity in the
51
secondary trading market in the case of unlisted or thinly traded securities, (2) substantial market price volatility resulting from changes in prevailing interest rates in the case of traded equity securities, (3) subordination to the prior claims of banks and other senior lenders to the issuer, (4) the operation of mandatory sinking fund or call/redemption provisions during periods of declining interest rates that could cause the issuer to reinvest redemption proceeds in lower yielding assets, (5) the possibility that earnings of the issuer may be insufficient to meet its debt service and distribution obligations and (6) the declining creditworthiness and potential for insolvency of the issuer during periods of rising interest rates and economic slow down or downturn. These risks may adversely affect the value of outstanding real estate-related securities and the ability of the issuers thereof to repay principal and interest or make distribution payments.
The CMBS in which we may invest are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans, the risks of the securitization process and dislocations in the mortgage-backed securities market in general.
CMBS are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Accordingly, these securities are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans. In a rising interest rate environment, the value of CMBS may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the securitys effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The value of CMBS may also change due to shifts in the markets perception of issuers and regulatory or tax changes adversely affecting the mortgage securities market as a whole. In addition, CMBS are subject to the credit risk associated with the performance of the underlying mortgage properties. CMBS are issued by investment banks, not financial institutions, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.
CMBS are also subject to several risks created through the securitization process. Subordinate CMBS are paid interest only to the extent that there are funds available to make payments. To the extent the collateral pool includes delinquent loans, there is a risk that interest payments on subordinate CMBS will not be fully paid. Subordinate CMBS are also subject to greater credit risk than those CMBS that are more highly rated. In certain instances, third-party guarantees or other forms of credit support can reduce the credit risk.
The value of any CMBS in which we invest may be negatively impacted by any dislocation in the mortgage-backed securities market in general. Currently, the mortgage-backed securities market is suffering from a severe dislocation created by mortgage pools that include sub-prime mortgages secured by residential real estate. Sub-prime loans often have high interest rates and are often made to borrowers with credit scores that would not qualify them for prime conventional loans. In recent years, banks made a great number of the sub-prime residential mortgage loans with high interest rates, floating interest rates, interest rates that reset from time to time, and/or interest-only payment features that expire over time. These terms, coupled with rising interest rates, have caused an increasing number of homeowners to default on their mortgages. Purchasers of mortgage-backed securities collateralized by mortgage pools that include risky sub-prime residential mortgages have experienced severe losses as a result of the defaults and such losses have had a negative impact on the CMBS market.
Federal Income Tax Risks
Failure to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect our operations and our ability to make distributions.
Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP, our legal counsel, has rendered an opinion to us that we will be organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 and that our proposed method of operations will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2012. This opinion is based upon our representations as to the manner in which we are and will be owned, invest in assets and operate, among other things. However, our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet requirements regarding our organization and ownership, distributions of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets and other tests imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Morris,
52
Manning & Martin, LLP will not review our operations or compliance with the REIT qualification standards on an ongoing basis, and we may fail to satisfy the REIT requirements in the future. Also, the legal opinion represents Morris, Manning & Martin, LLPs legal judgment based on the law in effect as of the commencement of this offering. Morris, Manning & Martin, LLPs opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts and we will not apply for a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding our status as a REIT. Future legislative, judicial or administrative changes to the federal income tax laws could be applied retroactively, which could result in our disqualification as a REIT.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to you because of the additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to you would no longer qualify for the dividends paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax. Our failure to qualify as a REIT would adversely affect the return on your investment.
Re-characterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.
We may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. The Internal Revenue Service could challenge our characterization of certain leases in any such sale-leaseback transactions as true leases, which allows us to be treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes. In the event that any sale-leaseback transaction is challenged and re-characterized as a financing transaction or loan for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so re-characterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification asset tests or the income tests and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of re-characterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated, which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
You may have current tax liability on distributions you elect to reinvest in our common stock.
If you participate in our distribution reinvestment plan, you will be deemed to have received, and for income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in shares of our common stock to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax free return of capital. In addition, you will be treated, for tax purposes, as having received an additional distribution to the extent the shares are purchased at a discount to fair market value. As a result, unless you are a tax-exempt entity, you may have to use funds from other sources to pay your tax liability on the value of the common stock received.
Distributions payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates that apply to other corporate distributions.
Tax legislation enacted in 2003, amended in 2005 and extended by the Tax Relief Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, generally reduces the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for distributions payable by corporations to domestic stockholders that are individuals, trusts or estates to 15% prior to 2013. Distributions payable by REITs, however, generally continue to be taxed at the normal rate applicable to the individual recipient, rather than the 15% preferential rate. Our distributions will be taxed as ordinary income at the non-preferential rate, to the extent they are from our current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent distributions exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, they will be treated first as a tax free return of capital, reducing the tax basis in each U.S. stockholders shares (but not below zero), then the distributions will be taxed as gain from the sale of shares. You should discuss the difference in treatment of REIT distributions and regular corporate distributions with your tax advisor.
53
If our operating partnership fails to maintain its status as a partnership, its income may be subject to taxation, which would reduce the cash available to us for distribution to you.
We intend to maintain the status of CCPT IV OP, our operating partnership, as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. However, if the Internal Revenue Service were to successfully challenge the status of our operating partnership as an entity taxable as a partnership, CCPT IV OP would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that the operating partnership could make to us. This could also result in our losing REIT status, and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our income. This would substantially reduce the cash available to us to make distributions to you and the return on your investment. In addition, if any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which CCPT IV OP owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to our operating partnership. Such a re-characterization of an underlying property owner also could threaten our ability to maintain REIT status.
In certain circumstances, we may be subject to federal and state income taxes as a REIT, which would reduce our cash available for distribution to you.
Even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we may be subject to federal income taxes or state taxes. For example, net income from the sale of properties that are dealer properties sold by a REIT (a prohibited transaction under the Internal Revenue Code) will be subject to a 100% tax. We may not be able to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. We may also decide to retain income we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay income tax directly on such income. In that event, our stockholders would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, stockholders that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability. We may also be subject to state and local taxes on our income or property, either directly or at the level of our operating partnership or at the level of the other entities through which we indirectly own our assets. Any federal or state taxes we pay will reduce our cash available for distribution to you.
Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect the returns to our investors.
Changes to the tax laws are likely to occur, and such changes may adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our shares. You also should note that our counsels tax opinion is based upon existing law and treasury regulations, applicable as of the date of its opinion, all of which are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively.
Congress passed major federal tax legislation in 2003, with modifications to that legislation in 2005 and in 2010. One of the changes affected by that legislation generally reduced the tax rate on dividends paid by corporations to individuals to a maximum of 15% prior to 2013. REIT distributions generally do not qualify for this reduced rate. The tax changes did not, however, reduce the corporate tax rates. Therefore, the maximum corporate tax rate of 35% has not been affected. However, as a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal or state corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our stockholders, and we thus expect to avoid the double taxation that other corporations are typically subject to.
The tax rate changes contained in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 are currently scheduled to expire at the end of 2012. It is widely anticipated that this expiration will provoke a legislative response from Congress for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012; however, it is impossible to anticipate the effects of any such legislation at this time.
Although REITs continue to receive substantially better tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be taxed, for federal income tax purposes, as a
54
corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and our stockholders and could only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interests of our stockholders.
Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of shares of our common stock. We may be required to pay distributions to our stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Complying with the REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities. In addition, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments in order to comply with the REIT requirements. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
Foreign purchasers of our common stock may be subject to FIRPTA tax upon the sale of their shares.
A foreign person disposing of a U.S. real property interest, including shares of a U.S. corporation whose assets consist principally of U.S. real property interests, is generally subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended (FIRPTA) on the gain recognized on the disposition. Such FIRPTA tax does not apply, however, to the disposition of stock in a REIT if the REIT is domestically controlled. A REIT is domestically controlled if less than 50% of the REITs stock, by value, has been owned directly or indirectly by persons who are not qualifying U.S. persons during a continuous five-year period ending on the date of disposition or, if shorter, during the entire period of the REITs existence. We cannot assure you that we will qualify as a domestically controlled REIT. If we were to fail to so qualify, gain realized by foreign investors on a sale of our shares would be subject to FIRPTA tax, unless our shares were traded on an established securities market and the foreign investor did not at any time during a specified testing period directly or indirectly own more than 10% of the value of our outstanding common stock. See the Federal Income Tax Considerations Special Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Stockholders Sale of Our Shares by a Non-U.S. Stockholder section of this prospectus.
For qualified accounts, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, it is possible that you may be subject to the imposition of significant excise taxes and penalties with respect to the amount invested. In order to avoid triggering additional taxes and/or penalties, if you intend to invest in our shares through pension or profit-sharing trusts or IRAs, you should consider additional factors.
If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit-sharing, 401(k), Keogh or other qualified retirement plan or the assets of an IRA in our common stock, you should satisfy yourself that, among other things:
| your investment is consistent with your fiduciary obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; |
| your investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your plan or IRA, including your plans investment policy; |
| your investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code; |
| your investment will not impair the liquidity of the plan or IRA; |
| your investment will not produce UBTI for the plan or IRA; |
| you will be able to value the assets of the plan annually in accordance with ERISA requirements and applicable provisions of the plan or IRA; and |
| your investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. |
55
Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to equitable remedies. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, the fiduciary who authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. For a more complete discussion of the foregoing risks and other issues associated with an investment in shares by retirement plans, see the Investment by Tax-Exempt Entities and ERISA Considerations section of this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information about how we intend to use the proceeds raised in this offering, assuming that we sell the maximum offering of 300,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to this offering. Many of the figures set forth below represent managements best estimate since they cannot be precisely calculated at this time. Assuming a maximum offering, we expect that approximately 88.1% of the money that stockholders invest (86.7% if no shares are sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) will be used to purchase real estate or other real estate-related investments, while the remaining approximately 11.9% (13.3% if no shares are sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) will be used for working capital, and to pay costs of the offering, including selling commissions and the dealer manager fee, and fees and expenses of our advisor in connection with acquiring properties. Proceeds used to purchase real estate or other real estate-related investments include proceeds used to repay any indebtedness incurred in respect of such purchases. We have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from proceeds raised in this offering in anticipation of future cash flows, and we have not placed a limit on the amount of net proceeds we may use to pay distributions.

(1) | Assumes the sale to the public of 250,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share pursuant to the primary offering and 50,000,000 shares at $9.50 per share pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. In the event that stockholders redeem shares pursuant to our share redemption program, the redemptions will be paid using proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Accordingly, the amount of proceeds from the maximum offering, including the distribution reinvestment plan, that is used to purchase real estate and other real estate-related assets, and to pay acquisition-related fees and expenses, will be reduced to the extent that proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan are used to pay redemptions. |
(2) | Assumes the sale to the public of 250,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share pursuant to the primary offering and no shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. |
(3) | Includes selling commissions equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering, which commissions may be reduced under certain circumstances, and a dealer manager fee equal to 2% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering, both of which are payable to the dealer manager, an affiliate of our advisor. The dealer manager will reallow 100% of the selling commissions to participating broker-dealers. In addition, the dealer-manager, in its sole discretion, may reallow to broker-dealers participating in this offering up to all of its dealer manager fee as marketing fees and due diligence expense allowance based on such factors as the number of shares sold by the participating broker-dealer, the participating broker-dealers level of marketing support, and bona fide conference fees incurred, each as compared to those of the other participating broker-dealers. We will not pay a selling commission or a dealer manager fee on shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The amount of selling commissions may be reduced under certain circumstances for volume discounts and other types of sales. Furthermore, we may increase the dealer manager fee to 3% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering for purchases made through certain |
58
selected dealers, in which event the selling commission would be reduced to 6% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering for those purchases. See the Plan of Distribution section of this prospectus for a description of such provisions. |
(4) | Assuming we raise the maximum offering amount, we expect to reimburse our advisor up to $25,000,000 (0.8% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan) to cover offering expenses that are deemed to be underwriting expenses, and we expect to reimburse our advisor up to $34,500,000 (1.2% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan) to cover non-underwriting organization and offering expenses. These organization and offering expenses consist of all expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) to be paid by us in connection with the offering, including (i) our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our transfer agent for account set up fees, due diligence expenses that are included in a detailed and itemized invoice (such as expenses related to a review of this offering by one or more independent due diligence reviewers engaged by broker-dealers participating in this offering); (ii) amounts to reimburse our advisor for the portion of the salaries paid to employees of its affiliates that are attributed to services rendered to our advisor in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials for us, holding educational conferences and attending retail seminars conducted by our participating broker-dealers and (iii) reimbursements for our dealer managers wholesaling costs, and other marketing and organization costs, including (a) payments made to participating broker-dealers for performing these services, (b) the dealer-managers wholesaling commissions, salaries and expense reimbursements, (c) the dealer managers due diligence costs and legal fees and (d) costs associated with business entertainment, logoed items and sales incentives. Expenses to educational conferences and retail seminars described in (ii) above, expenses relating to our dealer-managers wholesaling costs and payments to participating broker-dealers described in (iii) above and expenses described in (iii)(b) and (iii)(c) above will constitute underwriting compensation, subject to the underwriting limit of 10% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering. |
In no event will total organization and offering expenses, including selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and reimbursement of other organization and offering expenses, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of this offering, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan.
(5) | Until required in connection with the acquisition of real estate or other real estate-related investments, substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering and, thereafter, any working capital reserves we may have, may be invested in short-term, highly-liquid investments including government obligations, bank certificates of deposit, short-term debt obligations and interest-bearing accounts. |
(6) | Acquisition fees are defined generally as fees and commissions paid by any party to any person in connection with identifying, reviewing, evaluating, investing in and the purchase, development or construction of properties, or the making or investing in loans or other real estate-related investments. We will pay our advisor acquisition fees up to a maximum amount of 2% of the contract purchase price of each property or asset acquired. With respect to a development or a redevelopment project, we will pay our advisor an acquisition fee of 2% of the amount expended on such project. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the aggregate contract purchase price for our assets will be an amount equal to the estimated amount invested in assets. With respect to any loan we originate or acquire, we will pay our advisor an acquisition fee of 2% of the amount of the loan. For purposes of this table, we also have assumed that no financing is used to acquire properties or other real estate assets. We may incur additional fees, such as real estate commissions, development fees, construction fees, non-recurring management fees, loan fees or points, or any fee of a similar nature. Acquisition fees do not include acquisition expenses. |
(7) | Acquisition expenses include legal fees and expenses, travel expenses, costs of appraisals, nonrefundable option payments on property not acquired, accounting fees and expenses, title insurance premiums and other closing costs and miscellaneous expenses relating to the selection, acquisition and development of real estate properties. For purposes of this table, we have assumed average expenses of 0.5% of the estimated amount invested in assets; however, expenses on a particular acquisition may be higher. Acquisition expenses are not included in the contract purchase price of an asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total |
59
of all acquisition expenses and acquisition fees paid by any party to any party, including any real estate commission, selection fee, development fees paid to an affiliate of our advisor, construction fee paid to an affiliate of our advisor, non-recurring management fee, loan fees or point or any fee of a similar nature, payable with respect to a particular property or investment shall be reasonable, and shall not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the contract purchase price of the property, or in the case of a mortgage loan 6% of the funds advanced, unless a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve fees and expenses in excess of this limit and determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to us. |
(8) | Working capital reserves typically are utilized for extraordinary expenses that are not covered by revenue generated by the property, such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for escrow of working capital reserves. Because we expect most of our leases will be triple net or double net leases, as described elsewhere herein, we do not expect to maintain significant working capital reserves. |
(9) | Includes amounts anticipated to be invested in properties net of organization and offering expenses, acquisition fees and expenses and initial working capital reserves. |

General
We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. We have retained CR IV Advisors as our advisor to manage our day-to-day affairs and the acquisition and disposition of our investments, subject to our board of directors supervision. Our charter has been reviewed and ratified by our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors. This ratification by our board of directors is required by the NASAA REIT Guidelines.
Our charter and bylaws provide that the number of directors on our board of directors may be established by a majority of the entire board of directors, but may not be more than 15, nor fewer than three. Our charter provides, in general, that a majority of the directors must be independent directors. An independent director is a person who is not, and within the last two years has not been, directly or indirectly associated with us or any of our affiliates or with our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates by virtue of (1) ownership of an interest in our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, (2) employment by us, our sponsor our advisor or any of our or their affiliates, (3) service as an officer or director of our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates, (4) performance of services, (5) service as a director of more than three REITs organized by our sponsor or advised by our advisor, or (6) maintenance of a material business or professional relationship with our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates. Each director deemed to be independent pursuant to our charter also will be independent in accordance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or officers, or officers of our advisor. Each director who is not an independent director must have at least three years of relevant experience demonstrating the knowledge and experience required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets being acquired by us. At least one of our independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience. We currently have a total of three directors, including a majority of independent directors.
Each director will serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Although the number of directors may be increased or decreased, a decrease will not have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.
Any director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without cause by the stockholders upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting properly called for the purpose of the proposed removal. The notice of the meeting will indicate that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to determine if the director shall be removed. None of the members of our board of directors, nor our advisor, nor any of their affiliates, may vote or consent on matters submitted to the stockholders regarding the removal of our advisor or any director or any of their affiliates or any transaction between us and any of them. In determining the requisite percentage in interest required to approve such a matter, shares owned by members of our board of directors and their respective affiliates will not be included.
Any vacancy created by the death, resignation, removal, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director may be filled only by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors. Any vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors must be filled by an affirmative vote of the board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors. Independent directors shall nominate replacements for vacancies in the independent director positions or to fill newly-created independent director positions. If at any time there are no directors in office, successor directors shall be elected by the stockholders. Each director will be bound by our charter and bylaws.
Our directors will not be required to devote all of their time to our business and only are required to devote the time to our affairs as their duties require. Our directors meet quarterly, in person or by teleconference, or more frequently if necessary. Consequently, in the exercise of their responsibilities, the directors will rely heavily on our advisor and on information provided by our advisor. Our directors have a fiduciary duty to our stockholders to supervise the relationship between us and our advisor. Our board of directors is empowered to fix
61
the compensation of all officers that it selects and approve the payment of compensation to directors for services rendered to us.
Our board of directors has adopted written policies on investments and borrowing, the general terms of which are set forth in this prospectus. The directors may revise those policies or establish further written policies on investments and borrowings and monitor our administrative procedures, investment operations and performance to ensure that the policies are fulfilled and are in the best interests of our stockholders. During the discussion of a proposed transaction, independent directors may offer ideas for ways in which transactions may be structured to offer the greatest value to us, and our advisor will take these suggestions into consideration when structuring transactions.
In addition, our board of directors is responsible for reviewing our fees and expenses on at least an annual basis and with sufficient frequency to determine that the expenses incurred are in the best interests of the stockholders. In addition, a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, who are not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve all transactions with our advisor or its affiliates. The independent directors also will be responsible for reviewing the performance of our advisor and determining, from time to time and at least on an annual basis, that the compensation to be paid to our advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services to be performed and that the provisions of the advisory agreement are being carried out. The independent directors will consider such factors as they deem relevant, including:
| the amount of the fees paid to our advisor in relation to the size, composition and performance of our investments; |
| the success of our advisor in generating appropriate investment opportunities; |
| rates charged to other REITs, especially REITs of similar structure, and to investors other than REITs by advisors performing similar services; |
| additional revenues realized by our advisor and its affiliates through their relationship with us, including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions, and servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether such amounts are paid by us or others with whom we do business; |
| the quality and extent of service and advice furnished by our advisor and the performance of our investment portfolio; and |
| the quality of our portfolio relative to the investments generated by our advisor for its own account. |
The advisory agreement has a one-year term and may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. Either party may terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty. Fees payable to our advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement, including any fees that may be paid upon termination of the advisory agreement, are described below under the caption The Advisory Agreement and the section of this prospectus captioned Management Compensation.
Neither our advisor nor any of its affiliates will vote or consent to the voting of shares of our common stock they now own or hereafter acquire on matters submitted to the stockholders regarding either (1) the removal of our advisor, any director or any of their respective affiliates, or (2) any transaction between us and our advisor, any director or any of their respective affiliates. In determining the requisite percentage in interest required to approve such a matter, shares owned by our advisor and its affiliates will not be included.
Committees of our Board of Directors
Our entire board of directors will be responsible for supervising our entire business. However, our bylaws provide that our board of directors may establish such committees as our board of directors believes appropriate and in our best interests. Our board of directors will appoint the members of the committee in our board of directors discretion. Our charter and bylaws require that a majority of the members of each committee of our board of directors is comprised of independent directors.
62
Audit Committee
Our board of directors has established an audit committee consisting of Lawrence S. Jones, J. Marc Myers and Scott P. Sealy, Sr., our independent directors. Mr. Jones serves as chairman of the audit committee. The audit committee, by approval of at least a majority of its members, will select the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our annual financial statements, review with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, approve the audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, review the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, consider the range of audit and non-audit fees and review the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. Our board of directors has adopted a charter for the audit committee that sets forth its specific functions and responsibilities.
Executive Officers and Directors
Our board of directors has elected Christopher H. Cole to serve as our chief executive officer and president and D. Kirk McAllaster, Jr. to serve as our executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. Although most of the services Mr. McAllaster provides to our company are in his role as an executive officer of our advisor, both Messrs. Cole and McAllaster have certain duties in their capacities as executive officers of our company arising from Maryland corporate law, our charter and bylaws. We do not directly compensate Messrs. Cole or McAllaster for their services as executive officers of our company, nor do we reimburse our advisor or any affiliate of our advisor for their salaries or benefits. We have provided below certain information about our executive officers and directors.

Duties of Independent Directors
In accordance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines, a majority of our independent directors generally must approve corporate actions that directly relate to the following:
| any transfer or sale of our sponsors initial investment in us; provided, however, our sponsor may not sell its initial investment while it remains our sponsor, but our sponsor may transfer the shares to an affiliate; |
66
| the duties of our directors, including ratification of our charter, the written policies on investments and borrowing, the monitoring of administrative procedures, investment operations and our performance and the performance of our advisor; |
| the advisory agreement; |
| liability and indemnification of our directors, advisor and its affiliates; |
| fees, compensation and expenses, including organization and offering expenses, acquisition fees and acquisition expenses, total operating expenses, real estate commissions on the resale of property, incentive fees, and advisor compensation; |
| any change or modification of our statement of objectives; |
| real property appraisals; |
| our borrowing policies; |
| annual and special meetings of stockholders; |
| election of our directors; and |
| our distribution reinvestment plan. |
Compensation of Directors
We pay to each of our independent directors a retainer of $50,000 per year, plus an additional retainer of $7,500 to the chairman of the audit committee. We also pay $2,000 for each meeting of our board of directors or committee thereof the director attends in person ($2,500 for the attendance in person by the chairperson of the audit committee at each meeting of the audit committee) and $250 for each meeting the director attends by telephone. In the event there is a meeting of our board of directors and one or more committees thereof in a single day, the fees paid to each director will be limited to $2,500 per day ($3,000 per day for the chairperson of the audit committee if there is a meeting of such committee). All directors will receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at each meeting of our board of directors. Independent directors are not reimbursed by us, our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates for spouses expenses to attend events to which spouses are invited. If a non-independent director is also an employee of our company or our advisor or their affiliates, we will not pay compensation for services rendered as a director. We will not compensate Messrs. Cole or Nemer for their service to us on the board of directors.
Limited Liability and Indemnification of Our Directors, Officers, Advisor and Other Agents
We are permitted to limit the liability of our directors and officers, and to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors, officers and other agents, only to the extent permitted by Maryland law and the NASAA REIT Guidelines. Our charter contains a provision that eliminates directors and officers liability for money damages, requires us to indemnify and, in certain circumstances, advance expenses to our directors, officers, our advisor and its affiliates and permits us to indemnify and advance expenses to our employees and agents, subject to the limitations of Maryland law and the NASAA REIT Guidelines. To the extent that our board of directors determines that the Maryland General Corporation Law conflicts with the provisions set forth in the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the NASAA REIT Guidelines will control, unless the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law are mandatory under Maryland law.
Maryland law permits us to include in our charter a provision limiting the liability of our directors and officers to our stockholders and us for money damages, except for liability resulting from (i) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and that is material to the cause of action.
The Maryland General Corporation Law requires us (unless our charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to
67
which he is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The Maryland General Corporation Law allows directors and officers to be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding unless it is established that:
| an act or omission of the director or officer was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; |
| the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; |
| with respect to any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful; or |
| in a proceeding by us or on our behalf, the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to us or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received (although in either case a court may order indemnification solely for expenses). |
In addition to the above limitations of the Maryland General Corporation Law, and as set forth in the NASAA REIT Guidelines, our charter further limits our ability to indemnify our directors, our advisor and its affiliates for losses or liability suffered by them or hold harmless our directors or our advisor and its affiliates for losses or liability suffered by us by requiring that the following additional conditions are met:
| the directors, our advisor or its affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in our best interests; |
| the directors, our advisor or its affiliates were acting on our behalf or performing services for us; |
| in the case of non-independent directors, our advisor or its affiliates, the liability or loss was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the party seeking indemnification; |
| in the case of independent directors, the liability or loss was not the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the party seeking indemnification; and |
| the indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from the stockholders. |
We also will agree to indemnify and hold harmless our advisor and its affiliates performing services for us from specific claims and liabilities arising out of the performance of their obligations under the advisory agreement. As a result, our stockholders and we may be entitled to a more limited right of action than they and we would otherwise have if these indemnification rights were not included in the advisory agreement.
The general effect to our stockholders of any arrangement under which we agree to insure or indemnify any persons against liability is a potential reduction in distributions resulting from our payment of premiums associated with insurance or indemnification payments in excess of amounts covered by insurance. In addition, indemnification could reduce the legal remedies available to our stockholders and us against our officers and directors. The Maryland General Corporation Law permits us to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of (1) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (2) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met. However, indemnification does not reduce the exposure of directors and officers to liability under federal or state securities laws, nor does it limit the stockholders ability to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies for a violation of a directors or an officers duties to us, although the equitable remedies may not be an effective remedy in some circumstances.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and some state securities commissions take the position that indemnification against liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and unenforceable.
68
Indemnification of our directors, our advisor or its affiliates and any persons acting as a broker-dealer participating in the sale of our securities will not be allowed for liabilities arising from or out of a violation of state or federal securities laws, unless one or more of the following conditions are met:
| there has been a successful adjudication on the merits in favor of the indemnitee of each count involving alleged securities law violations; |
| such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction; or |
| a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the indemnitee 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 our securities were offered as to indemnification for violations of securities laws. |
Our charter provides that the advancement of our funds to our directors, our advisor or our advisors affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on our behalf; (ii) our directors, our advisor or our advisors affiliates provide us with written affirmation of their good faith belief that they have met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification; (iii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder or, if the legal action is initiated by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and (iv) our directors, our advisor or our advisors affiliates agree in writing to repay the advanced funds to us together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such persons are found not to be entitled to indemnification.

The Advisory Agreement
CR IV Advisors is an entity created by our sponsor for the sole purpose of managing the day-to-day operations of our company. We entered into an advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors on January 20, 2012. Many of the services performed by our advisor in managing our day-to-day activities pursuant to the advisory agreement are summarized below. We believe that our advisor currently has sufficient staff and experience so as to be capable of fulfilling the duties set forth in the advisory agreement, along with the duties owed to other real estate programs managed by affiliates of our advisor. This summary is provided to illustrate the material functions that CR IV Advisors will perform for us as our advisor, and it is not intended to include additional services that may be provided to us by third parties, for which they will be separately compensated either directly by us or by our advisor and reimbursed by us. In the event that our advisor engages a third party to perform services that we have engaged our advisor to perform pursuant to the advisory agreement, such third party will be compensated by the advisor out of its advisory fee.
Under the terms of the advisory agreement, our advisor undertakes to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to present to us investment opportunities consistent with our investment policies and objectives as adopted
72
by our board of directors. In its performance of this undertaking, CR IV Advisors, either directly or indirectly by engaging an affiliate or an unaffiliated third party, shall, among other duties and subject to the supervision of our board of directors:
| find, evaluate, present and recommend to us investment opportunities consistent with our investment policies and objectives; |
| serve as our investment and financial advisor and provide research and economic and statistical data in connection with our assets and our investment policies; |
| provide the daily management and perform and supervise the various administrative functions reasonably necessary for our management and operations; |
| investigate, select, and, on our behalf, engage and conduct business with such third parties as the advisor deems necessary to the proper performance of its obligations under the advisory agreement; |
| consult with, and provide information to, our officers and board of directors and assist the board of directors in formulating and implementing our financial policies; |
| structure and negotiate the terms and conditions of our real estate acquisitions, sales or joint ventures; |
| review and analyze each propertys operating and capital budget; |
| acquire properties and make investments on our behalf in compliance with our investment objectives and policies; |
| arrange, structure and negotiate financing and refinancing of properties; |
| enter into leases of property and service contracts for assets and, to the extent necessary, perform all other operational functions for the maintenance and administration of such assets, including the servicing of mortgages; |
| prepare and review on our behalf, with the participation of one designated principal executive officer and principal financial officer, all reports and returns required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service and other state or federal governmental agencies; and |
| dispose of properties on our behalf in compliance with our investment objectives and policies, and at the appropriate time, advise our board of directors on the timing and method of providing our investors with liquidity. |
It is the duty of our board of directors to evaluate the performance of our advisor before entering into or renewing the advisory agreement, and the criteria used in such evaluation shall be reflected in the minutes of the board of directors meeting at which such evaluation was conducted. The advisory agreement will have a one-year term ending January 20, 2013, and may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods. Additionally, either party may terminate the advisory agreement upon 60 days written notice without cause or penalty. After termination of the advisory agreement, our advisor will not be entitled to any further compensation, however it will be entitled to receive all unpaid reimbursements of expenses, subject to certain limitations, and all fees payable to the advisor that accrued prior to the termination of the advisory agreement. A subordinated performance fee also may be payable, as discussed below. Our charter does not permit us to enter into an advisory agreement that includes terms that would impose a penalty, such as a termination fee, on the party that elects to terminate the agreement. If we elect to terminate the agreement, we must obtain the approval of a majority of our independent directors. In the event of the termination of our advisory agreement, our advisor is required to cooperate with us and take all reasonable steps requested by us to assist our board of directors in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.
We pay our advisor a monthly advisory fee based upon our monthly average invested assets, equal to the following amounts: (i) an annualized rate of 0.75% will be paid on our average invested assets that are between $0 and $2 billion; (ii) an annualized rate of 0.70% will be paid on our average invested assets that are between
73
$2 billion and $4 billion; and (iii) an annualized rate of 0.65% will be paid on our average invested assets that are over $4 billion. Monthly average invested assets will equal the average book value of our assets invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by our real estate, before reserves for depreciation and amortization or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves, other than impairment charges, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each business day, over the course of the month. After our board of directors begins to determine the estimated per share value of our common stock, the average invested assets will be based upon the aggregate valuation of our invested assets, as reasonably estimated by our board of directors. Any portion of this fee may be deferred and paid in a subsequent period upon the mutual agreement of us and our advisor.
We also pay our advisor acquisition fees equal to 2% of: (i) the contract purchase price of each property or asset that we acquire; (ii) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset we acquire; (iii) the purchase price of any loan we acquire; and (iv) the principal amount of any loan we originate. Any portion of the acquisition fee may be deferred and paid in a subsequent period upon the mutual agreement of us and our advisor. We are prohibited from paying more than 6% of the contract price of a property, or in the case of a mortgage loan, 6% of the funds advanced, in acquisition fees, including development fees, construction fees and acquisition expenses, unless otherwise approved by a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, as commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to us, although we intend to limit such payments below 6%.
If our advisor or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of our independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, we will pay our advisor or its affiliate a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the brokerage commission paid on the sale of properties, not to exceed 1% of the contract price of the properties sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to our advisor 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.
Additionally, we will be required to pay to our advisor, in cash, a non-interest bearing promissory note or shares of our common stock (or any combination thereof), at our election, subordinated fees based on a percentage of proceeds or stock value in the event of our sale of assets or the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange, but only if, in the case of our sale of assets, our investors have received, from regular distributions plus special distributions paid from proceeds of such sale, a return of their net capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return or, in the case of the listing of our common stock, the market value of our common stock plus the distributions paid to our investors exceeds the sum of the total amount of capital raised from investors plus the amount of distributions necessary to generate an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. Upon termination of the advisory agreement, we may incur an obligation to pay to our advisor a subordinated performance fee, in cash, a non-interest bearing promissory note or our shares, at our election, similar to that which our advisor would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination.
Other than the fees described above, neither the advisor nor its affiliates will be entitled to any additional fees for managing or leasing our properties.
We reimburse our advisor for the expenses incurred in connection with its provision of advisory and administrative services, such as the portion of the salaries paid to employees of Cole Real Estate Investments who are dual employees of our advisor (including executive officers and key personnel of our advisor who are not also executive officers of our company) that are attributed to services rendered by our advisor in connection with our operations, including non-offering related legal and accounting services; provided, however, that we will not reimburse our advisor for the salaries and benefits paid to our executive officers, or for personnel costs in connection with services for which the advisor receives acquisition fees.
74
Officers, employees and affiliates of our advisor engage in other business ventures and, as a result, their resources will not be dedicated exclusively to our business. However, pursuant to the advisory agreement, our advisor will be required to devote sufficient resources to our administration to discharge its obligations. The Cole Real Estate Investments organization has over 325 full-time employees, many of whom may dedicate a portion of their time to providing services on behalf of our advisor. Our advisor is responsible for a pro rata portion of each employees compensation based upon the approximate percentage of time the employee dedicates to our advisor.
Our advisor may assign the advisory agreement to an affiliate upon approval of a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors. We may assign or transfer the advisory agreement to a successor entity; provided that at least a majority of our independent directors determines that any such successor advisor possesses sufficient qualifications to perform the advisory function and to justify the compensation payable to the advisor. Our independent directors will base their determination on the general facts and circumstances that they deem applicable, including the overall experience and specific industry experience of the successor advisor and its management. Other factors that will be considered are the compensation to be paid to the successor advisor and any potential conflicts of interest that may occur.
The fees payable to our advisor under the advisory agreement are described in further detail in the Management Compensation section of this prospectus. We also describe in that section our obligation to reimburse our advisor for organization and offering expenses, advisory and administrative services, and payments made by our advisor to third parties in connection with potential acquisitions.
Our advisors principal assets will be its cash balances and its advisory agreement with our company, and the revenues associated with such agreement. In addition, we expect that our advisor will be covered by an errors and omissions insurance policy. If our advisor is held liable for a breach of its fiduciary duty to us, or a breach of its contractual obligations to us, we expect that the liability would be paid by our advisor from its cash balances or by the insurance policy. However, our advisor is not required to retain cash to pay potential liabilities and it may not have sufficient cash available to pay liabilities if they arise. In such event, and if insurance proceeds are insufficient, we may not be able to collect the full amount of any claims we may have against our advisor.

Advisory Fee CR IV Advisors(6) | In consideration for the day-to-day management of our company, we will pay to our advisor a monthly advisory fee based upon our monthly average invested assets. Monthly average invested assets will equal the average book value of our assets invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by our real estate, before reserves for depreciation and amortization or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves, other than impairment charges, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each business day, over the course of the month. After our board of directors begins to determine the estimated per share value of our common stock, the monthly advisory fee will be based upon the value of our assets invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by our real estate as determined by our board of directors.
The advisory fee will be calculated according to the following fee schedule:

The annualized advisory fee rate, and the actual dollar amounts, are dependent upon the amount of our monthly average invested assets and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time.

Operating Expenses CR IV Advisors(7) |
We will reimburse our advisor for acquisition expenses incurred in the process of acquiring each property or in the origination or acquisition of a loan. We expect these expenses will be approximately 0.5% of the purchase price of each property or of the amount of each loan; provided, however, that acquisition expenses are not included in the contract purchase price of a property.
We also will reimburse our advisor for the expenses incurred in connection with its provision of advisory and administrative services, including related personnel costs and payments to third party service providers; provided, however, that we will not reimburse our advisor for the salaries and benefits paid to personnel in connection with services for which our advisor receives acquisition fees, and we will not reimburse our advisor for salaries and benefits paid to our executive officers. |

Disposition Fee CR IV Advisors or its affiliates(8) |
For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of properties, we will pay our advisor or its affiliates 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 the properties sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to our advisor 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. | Actual amounts are dependent upon the contract price of properties sold and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. Because the disposition fee is based on a fixed percentage of the contract price for sold properties the actual amount of the disposition fees cannot be determined at the present time. | ||||||||
Subordinated Performance Fee CR IV Advisors(9) |
After investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return, then our advisor will be entitled to receive 15% of the remaining net sale proceeds. We cannot assure you that we will provide this 8% return, which we have disclosed solely as a measure for our advisors incentive compensation. We will pay a subordinated fee under only one of the following events: (i) if our shares are listed on a national securities exchange; (ii) if our company is sold or our assets are liquidated; or (iii) upon termination of the advisory agreement. | Actual amounts are dependent upon results of operations and, therefore, cannot be determined at the present time. There is no limit on the aggregate amount of these payments. |
(1) | We will pay all fees, commissions and expenses in cash, other than the subordinated performance fee, which we may pay in cash, common stock, a non-interest bearing promissory note or any combination of the foregoing, as we may determine in our discretion. |
(2) | The estimated maximum dollar amounts are based on the sale to the public of 250,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share and 50,000,000 shares at $9.50 per share pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. |
(3) | These payments are underwriting compensation. Underwriting compensation paid from any source in connection with this offering may not exceed 10% of the gross proceeds of the primary offering. Selling commissions and, in some cases, the dealer manager fee, will not be charged with regard to shares sold to or for the account of certain categories of purchasers. See the Plan of Distribution section of this prospectus. |
(4) | These organization and offering expenses consist of all expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) to be paid by us in connection with the offering, including: (i) our legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees, charges of our transfer agent for account set up fees, due diligence expenses that are included in a detailed and itemized invoice (such as expenses related to a review of this offering by one or more independent due diligence reviewers engaged by broker-dealers participating in this offering); (ii) amounts to reimburse our advisor for the portion of the salaries paid to employees of its affiliates that are attributed to services rendered to our advisor in connection with preparing supplemental sales materials for us, holding educational conferences and attending retail seminars conducted by our participating broker-dealers; and (iii) reimbursements for our dealer managers wholesaling costs, and other marketing and organization costs, including (a) payments made to participating broker-dealers for performing these services, (b) the dealer-managers wholesaling commissions, salaries and expense reimbursements, (c) the dealer managers due diligence costs and legal fees and (d) costs associated with business entertainment, logoed items and sales incentives. Expenses relating to educational conferences and retail seminars described in (ii) above, expenses relating to our dealer-managers wholesaling costs and payments to participating broker-dealers described in (iii) above and expenses described in (iii)(b) and (iii)(c) above will constitute underwriting compensation, subject to the underwriting limit of 10% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering. |
78
The estimated maximum reimbursement for other organization and offering expenses, $59,500,000, is calculated based upon gross offering proceeds including proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan. The $25,000,000 portion of the estimated maximum reimbursement for other organization and offering expenses that we expect will be used to cover offering expenses that are deemed to be underwriting expenses equals 0.8% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan. However, because we do not take proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan into account when we calculate the maximum amount we will pay for underwriting compensation, the table also indicates that the $25,000,000 that we expect will be used to cover offering expenses that are deemed to be underwriting expenses equals 1.0% of the gross offering proceeds of our offering, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan (which we refer to in this prospectus as our primary offering). In no event will total organization and offering expenses, including selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and reimbursement of other organization and offering expenses, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of this offering, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan.
(5) | Any portion of this fee may be deferred and paid in a subsequent period upon the mutual agreement of us and our advisor. Pursuant to our charter, in accordance with the NASAA REIT Guidelines, our total of all acquisition fees and expenses relating to any purchase, including fees and expenses paid to third parties, shall not exceed 6% of the contract purchase price unless a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve fees and expenses in excess of this limit and determine the transaction to be commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to us. Included in the computation of such fees will be any real estate commission, acquisition fee, development fee, construction fee, non-recurring management fee, loan fees or points, or any fee of a similar nature. On a quarterly basis, we will review the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to each purchase to ensure that such fees and expenses do not exceed 6% of the contract purchase price. For a description of the duties of our advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement, including acquisition services, see the section of this prospectus captioned Management The Advisory Agreement. |
(6) | Any portion of this fee may be deferred and paid in a subsequent period upon the mutual agreement of us and our advisor. An assets book value typically will equal its cost. However, in the event that an asset suffers an impairment, we will reduce the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities to their estimated fair market value. See the section of this prospectus captioned Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Application of Critical Accounting Policies Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets for additional information. For a description of the duties of our advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement, including day-to-day advisory services, see the section of this prospectus captioned Management The Advisory Agreement. |
(7) | We reimburse our advisor for the portion of the salaries paid to employees of Cole Real Estate Investments who are dual employees of our advisor, including executive officers and key personnel of our advisor who are not also executive officers of our company, that are attributed to services rendered by our advisor in connection with our operations, including non-offering related legal and accounting services. |
Additional services may be provided to us by third parties, for which they will be separately compensated either directly by us or by our advisor and reimbursed by us. In the event that our advisor engages a third party to perform services that we have engaged our advisor to perform pursuant to the advisory agreement, such third parties will be compensated by the advisor out of its advisory fee.
79
We will not reimburse our advisor for any amount by which the operating expenses (which exclude, among other things, the expenses of raising capital, interest payments, taxes, non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves, and acquisition fees and acquisition expenses) paid during the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (i) 2% of average invested assets, or (ii) 25% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. We will perform the above calculation on a quarterly basis to ensure that the operating expense reimbursements are within these limitations. Acquisition expenses are accounted for separately.
We lease our office space from an affiliate of our advisor and share the space with other Cole-related entities. The amount we will pay under the lease will be determined on a monthly basis based upon on the allocation of the overall lease cost to the approximate percentage of time, size of the area that we utilize and other resources allocated to us.
(8) | Although we are most likely to pay disposition fees to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates at the time of our liquidation, these fees may be earned during our operational state if we sell properties prior to our liquidation. |
(9) | We will pay a subordinated performance fee under only one of the following alternative events: (i) if our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, our advisor will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15% of the amount, if any, by which (1) the market value of our outstanding stock plus distributions paid by us prior to listing, exceeds (2) 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; (ii) if our company is sold or our assets are liquidated, our advisor will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15% of the net sale proceeds remaining after investors have received a return of their capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return; or (iii) upon termination of the advisory agreement, our advisor may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to that to which it would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination. Under our charter, we could not increase these success-based fees without the approval of a majority of our independent directors, and any increase in these fees would have to be reasonable. Our charter provides that these subordinated fees are presumptively reasonable if they do not exceed 15% of the balance of such net proceeds or such net market value remaining after investors have received a return of their net capital contributions and an 8% per year cumulative, non-compounded return. |
The subordinated performance fee likely will be paid in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note that will be repaid from the net sale proceeds of each sale after the date of the termination or listing, although, at our discretion, we may pay this fee with cash or shares of our common stock, or any combination of the foregoing. At the time of such sale, we may, however, again at our discretion, pay all or a portion of such non-interest bearing promissory note with shares of our common stock. If shares are used for payment, we do not anticipate that they will be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will be subject to restrictions on transferability. Any portion of the subordinated performance fee that our advisor receives prior to our listing will offset the amount otherwise due pursuant to the subordinated performance fee payable upon listing. In no event will the amount paid to our advisor under the non-interest bearing promissory note, if any, exceed the amount considered presumptively reasonable by the NASAA REIT Guidelines. Any subordinated performance fee payable in respect of net sale proceeds that is not paid at the date of sale because investors have not received their required minimum distribution will be deferred and paid at such time as the subordination conditions have been satisfied.
The market value of our outstanding stock will be calculated based on the average market value of the shares issued and outstanding at listing over the 30 trading days beginning 180 days after the shares are first listed. We have the option to cause our operating partnership to pay the subordinated performance fee in the form of stock, cash, a non-interest bearing promissory note or any combination thereof. In the event the subordinated performance fee is earned by our advisor, any previous payments of the subordinated
80
participation in net sale proceeds will offset the amounts due pursuant to the subordinated performance fee, and we will not be required to pay our advisor any further subordinated participation in net sale proceeds.

As we raise additional proceeds from our ongoing public offering, these $2.1 million in costs may become payable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, no compensation, fees or reimbursements were incurred for services provided by our advisor and its affiliates related to the liquidity/listing stage. As of December 31, 2011, we had not yet commenced material operations or entered into any arrangements to acquire any specific investments.
At least a majority of our independent directors must determine, from time to time but at least annually, that our total fees and expenses are reasonable in light of our investment performance, net assets, net income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs. Each such determination will be reflected in the minutes of our board of directors. The total operating expenses (as defined in the NASAA REIT Guidelines) of the company will not exceed, in any four consecutive fiscal quarters, the greater of 2% of the Average Invested Assets (as defined in the NASAA REIT Guidelines) or 25% of Net Income (as defined in the NASAA REIT Guidelines), unless our independent directors determine, based on unusual and non-recurring factors, that a higher level of expense is justified. In such an event, we will send notice to each of our stockholders within 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter for which such determination was made, along with an explanation of the factors our independent directors considered in making such determination. Our independent directors shall also supervise the performance of our advisor and the compensation that we pay to it to determine that the provisions of our advisory agreement are being carried out.
Each such determination will be recorded in the minutes of our board of directors and based on the factors that the independent directors deem relevant, including the factors listing in the Management General section of this prospectus.

Since our advisor and its affiliates are entitled to differing levels of compensation for undertaking different transactions on our behalf, our advisor has the ability to affect the nature of the compensation it receives by undertaking different transactions. However, our advisor is obligated to exercise good faith and integrity in all its dealings with respect to our affairs pursuant to the advisory agreement. See the Management The Advisory Agreement section of this prospectus.
Becoming Self-Administered
Because our advisor manages our day-to-day operations, we are considered externally managed. We believe that it will be in the best interests of our stockholders for the foreseeable future for us to be externally managed, therefore we do not expect to hire and pay for the services of skilled personnel with expertise in real estate finance, acquisition and management that are dedicated solely to managing our operations and properties. We believe that the arrangements set forth in the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors enable us to balance our real estate expertise needs, our personnel needs and our operating costs. For example, we are able to draw on the services of the executive officers and other personnel of our advisor on an as needed basis rather than having to hire similar individuals on a full-time basis.
If we elect to internalize our operations, we would employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes and other employee-related liabilities and grievances. Upon any internalization of our advisor, certain key personnel may not become employed by us, but instead will remain employees of our sponsor or its affiliates. However, such personnel do not have restrictions by contract or otherwise that may affect their ability to be employed by us, or otherwise provide services to us.
We may become self-administered in the future in connection with a listing of our shares of common stock on an exchange or other liquidity event, if our board of directors determines that it would be in the best interests of our stockholders. Although there is no prerequisite that publicly-traded REITs be self-administered, we understand that most of the publicly-traded REITs are self-administered and that the market price for our shares may suffer in the event that we list our shares for trading and remain externally managed. Thus, our board of directors likely will not consider listing our shares on a national exchange until it believes that our assets and income can support an internalized management and operating staff within the context of the returns that we are paying, or seek to pay, to our stockholders. If our board of directors reaches such determination, we will likely consider various methods for internalizing these functions. One method would be for us to acquire, or consider acquiring, our advisor through a business combination. At this time, we cannot be sure of the form or amount of consideration or other terms relating to such acquisition, however, we expect that we would not acquire our advisor if we could not retain key personnel of our advisor. If we pursue a business combination with our advisor, our board of directors will have a fiduciary duty to act in our best interests, which will be adverse to the interests of our advisor. To fulfill its fiduciary duty, our board of directors will take various procedural and substantive actions which may include forming a committee comprised entirely of independent directors to evaluate the potential business combination, and granting the committee the authority to retain its own counsel and advisors to evaluate the potential business combination.

We are subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of our relationship with CR IV Advisors, our advisor, and its affiliates, including conflicts related to the arrangements pursuant to which we will compensate our advisor and its affiliates. While our independent directors must approve the engagement of CR IV Advisors as our advisor, the fees payable to CR IV Advisors in connection with the services provided to us, and any subsequent decision to continue such engagement, the ability of our independent directors to negotiate on our behalf may be adversely impacted by the fact that our board of directors recognizes that our stockholders invested with the understanding and expectation that an affiliate of Cole Real Estate Investments would act as our advisor. See the Management Compensation section of this prospectus. Some of the potential conflicts of interest in our transactions with our advisor and its affiliates, and certain conflict resolution procedures set forth in our charter, are described below.
Our officers and affiliates of our advisor will try to balance our interests with the interests of other Cole-sponsored programs to whom they owe duties. However, to the extent that these persons take actions that are more favorable to other entities than to us, these actions could have a negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to you and the value of your investment. In addition, our directors, officers and certain of our stockholders may engage for their own account in business activities of the types conducted or to be conducted by our subsidiaries and us. For a description of some of the risks related to these conflicts of interest, see the Risk Factors Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest section of this prospectus.
Our independent directors have an obligation to function on our behalf in all situations in which a conflict of interest may arise. Furthermore, all of our directors have a fiduciary obligation to act on behalf of our stockholders.
Interests in Other Real Estate Programs and Other Concurrent Offerings
Affiliates of our advisor act as an advisor to, and our executive officers and at least one of our directors act as officers and/or directors of, CCPT I, CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT, and Cole Income NAV Strategy, all of which are REITs distributed and managed by affiliates of our advisor. In addition, all of these REITs employ our sponsors investment strategy, which focuses on single-tenant corporate properties subject to long term net leases to creditworthy tenants. CCPT I, CCPT II and CCPT III, like us, focus primarily on the retail sector, while CCIT focuses primarily on the office and industrial sector and Cole Income NAV Strategy focuses primarily on commercial properties in the retail, office and industrial sectors. Nevertheless, the common investment strategy used by each REIT would permit them to purchase certain properties that also may be suitable for our portfolio.
CCPT I and CCPT II are no longer offering shares for investment and, with limited exceptions such as through the use of proceeds by CCPT II from its distribution investment plan, are not currently pursuing the acquisition of additional properties. In the event CCPT I or CCPT II sells one or more of its assets, either company may seek to acquire additional properties, which may be similar to properties in which we invest. CCPT III is no longer offering shares for investment to the public; however, CCPT III has sold and will continue to issue shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan and continues to invest in real estate. CCPT III is an active investor in real estate and real estate-related investments, and the investment objective and strategy of CCPT III overlaps with our investment objective and strategy, thereby increasing the likelihood of potential acquisitions being appropriate for CCPT III and for us. CCIT commenced an initial public offering of up to $2.975 billion of shares of common stock in February 2011. Cole Income NAV Strategy commenced an initial public offering of up to $4.0 billion of shares of common stock in December 2011. We believe CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy will be active investors in real estate and real estate-related investments, and, although CCIT focuses primarily on the office and industrial sector, and Cole Income NAV Strategy focuses on commercial properties in the retail, office and industrial sectors, we anticipate that many investments that will be
84
appropriate for investment by us also will be appropriate for investment by CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy. See Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures below.
In addition, during the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, an affiliate of our advisor had issued approximately $114.2 million of debt pursuant to four private offerings, the proceeds of which were used to acquire single and multi-tenant properties in various states. In addition, during the same period, Cole Real Estate Investments sponsored 53 currently operating tenant-in-common and Delaware Statutory Trust real estate programs. Cole Real Estate Investments also sponsored Cole Growth Opportunity Fund I LP (CGOF), which is currently operating. CGOF does not have similar investment objectives to this program. Affiliates of our advisor may, from time to time, sponsor additional tenant-in-common and/or Delaware statutory trust real estate programs, which may invest in, and compete for, properties that would be suitable investments under our investment criteria. Affiliates of our advisor and of our executive officers also act as officers and directors of general partners of six limited partnerships that have invested in unimproved and improved real properties located in various states, including Cole Credit Property Fund Limited Partnership (Cole Credit LP I) and Cole Credit Property Fund II Limited Partnership (Cole Credit LP II), during the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011. See the Prior Performance Summary section of this prospectus. Affiliates of our executive officers and entities owned or managed by such affiliates also may acquire or develop real estate for their own accounts, and have done so in the past. Furthermore, affiliates of our executive officers and entities owned or managed by such affiliates intend to form additional real estate investment entities in the future, whether public or private, which can be expected to have the same or similar investment objectives and targeted assets as we have, and such persons may be engaged in sponsoring one or more of such entities at approximately the same time as our shares of common stock are being offered. Our advisor, its affiliates and affiliates of our executive officers are not obligated to present to us any particular investment opportunity that comes to their attention, even if such opportunity is of a character that might be suitable for investment by us. Our advisor and its affiliates likely will experience conflicts of interest as they simultaneously perform services for us and other Cole-sponsored real estate programs.
Any Cole-sponsored real estate program, whether or not currently existing, could compete with us in the sale or operation of our assets. We will seek to achieve any operating efficiencies or similar savings that may result from affiliated management of competitive assets. However, to the extent that such programs own or acquire property that is adjacent, or in close proximity, to a property we own, our property may compete with the other programs property for tenants or purchasers.
Although our board of directors adopted a policy limiting the types of transactions that we may enter into with our advisor, its affiliates, and other Cole-sponsored real estate programs, we may enter into certain such transactions, which are subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Similarly, joint ventures involving affiliates of our advisor or other Cole-sponsored programs also gives rise to conflicts of interest. In addition, our board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with an affiliate or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and our advisor, any of its affiliates or another Cole-sponsored real estate program.
In addition, we will rely on Cole Capital Corporation, our affiliated dealer manager, for the distribution of our shares of common stock to investors in this offering. Cole Capital Corporation currently distributes shares of common stock of CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy. We anticipate that Cole Capital Corporation may be required to hire additional personnel to manage our offering as well as any future concurrent offering. If our dealer manager is unable to sufficiently hire personnel to manage concurrent offerings, our dealer manager will face conflicts of interest allocating resources to our offering, which may have a negative effect on our ability to raise capital in this offering. Moreover, if the compensation our dealer manager or its personnel receive in the connection with concurrent offerings differs, our dealer manager and/or its personnel may have an incentive to devote more effort to the offering that results in a higher level of compensation.
85
Other Activities of Our Advisor and its Affiliates
We rely on our advisor, CR IV Advisors, for the day-to-day operation of our business. As a result of the interests of members of its management in other Cole-sponsored programs and the fact that they also are engaged, and will continue to engage, in other business activities, our advisor and its officers, key persons and respective affiliates may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other Cole-sponsored programs and other activities in which they are involved. However, our advisor believes that it and its affiliates have sufficient personnel to discharge fully their responsibilities to all of the Cole-sponsored programs and other ventures in which they are involved.
In addition, each of our executive officers, including Christopher H. Cole, who also serves as the chairman of our board of directors, also has an interest in our advisor, our dealer manager and/or other affiliated entities. As a result, each of our executive officers owes fiduciary duties to these other entities, as applicable, which may conflict with the fiduciary duties that he owes to us and our stockholders.
Transactions with Our Advisor and its Affiliates
Our board of directors has adopted a policy to prohibit acquisitions and loans from or to affiliates of our advisor, other than as set forth below. From time to time, our advisor may direct certain of its affiliates to acquire properties that would be suitable investments for us or our advisor may create special purpose entities to acquire properties that would be suitable investments for us. Subsequently, we may acquire such properties from such affiliates of our advisor. Any and all acquisitions from affiliates of our advisor must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us that is no greater than the cost of the property to the affiliate of our advisor (including acquisition fees and expenses), unless a majority of the independent directors determines that there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and that the difference is reasonable. In no event will we acquire a property from an affiliate of our advisor if the cost to us would exceed the propertys current appraised value as determined by an independent appraiser. In no event will our advisor or any of its affiliates be paid more than one acquisition fee in connection with any such transaction. Moreover, our advisor will not receive an acquisition fee if an affiliated entity will receive a disposition fee in connection with such transaction. Conversely, an affiliated entity will not receive an acquisition fee if our advisor will receive a disposition fee in connection with the sale of a property to an affiliate.
From time to time, we may borrow funds from affiliates of our advisor, including our sponsor, as bridge financing to enable us to acquire a property when offering proceeds alone are insufficient to do so and third party financing has not been arranged. Any and all such transactions must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties; provided, however, that our advisor or its affiliates may pay costs on our behalf, pending our reimbursement, or we may defer payment of fees to our advisor or its affiliates, neither of which would be considered a loan. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, none of these restrictions would preclude us from internalizing our advisor if our board of directors determines an internalization transaction is in the best interests of our stockholders.
Acquiring, Leasing and Reselling of Properties
There is a risk that a potential investment would be suitable for one or more Cole-sponsored programs, in which case the officers of our advisor and the advisors of the other programs will have a conflict of interest allocating the investment opportunity to us or another program. There is a risk that the advisors will choose a property that provides lower returns to us than a property purchased by another Cole-sponsored program. However, in such event, our advisor and the advisors of the other programs, with oversight by their respective boards of directors, will determine which program will be first presented with the opportunity. See Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures for details of the factors used to make that determination. Additionally, our
86
advisor may cause a prospective tenant to enter into a lease for property owned by another Cole-sponsored program. In the event that these conflicts arise, our best interests may not be met when persons acting on our behalf and on behalf of other Cole-sponsored programs decide whether to allocate any particular property to us or to another Cole-sponsored program.
Conflicts of interest will exist to the extent that we may acquire, or seek to acquire, properties in the same geographic areas where properties owned by other Cole-sponsored programs are located. In such a case, a conflict could arise in the acquisition or leasing of properties in the event that we and another Cole-sponsored program were to compete for the same properties or tenants, or a conflict could arise in connection with the resale of properties in the event that we and another Cole-sponsored program were to attempt to sell similar properties at the same time including in particular in the event another Cole-sponsored program liquidates at approximately the same time as us. Conflicts of interest may also exist at such time as we or our affiliates managing property on our behalf seek to employ developers, contractors or building managers, as well as under other circumstances. Our advisor will seek to reduce conflicts relating to the employment of developers, contractors or building managers by making prospective employees aware of all such properties seeking to employ such persons. In addition, our advisor will seek to reduce conflicts that may arise with respect to properties available for sale or rent by making prospective purchasers or tenants aware of all such properties. However, these conflicts cannot be fully avoided in that there may be established differing compensation arrangements for employees at different properties or differing terms for resales or leasing of the various properties.
Affiliated Dealer Manager
Since Cole Capital Corporation, our dealer manager, is an affiliate of our advisor, we will not have the benefit of an independent due diligence review and investigation of the type normally performed by an unaffiliated, independent underwriter in connection with the offering of securities. Accordingly, you will have to rely on your own broker-dealer to make an independent review of the terms of this offering. If your broker-dealer conducts an independent review of this offering and/or engages an independent due diligence reviewer to do so on its behalf, we expect that we will pay or reimburse the expenses associated with such review, which may create conflicts of interest. If your broker-dealer does not conduct such a review, you will not have the benefit of an independent review of the terms of this offering. See the Plan of Distribution section of this prospectus.
Affiliated Property Manager
Our properties are, and we anticipate that properties we acquire in the future will be, managed and leased by our property manager, Cole Realty Advisors, an affiliate of our advisor, pursuant to property management and leasing agreements. We expect Cole Realty Advisors to also serve as property manager for properties owned by other real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments, some of which may be in competition with our properties.
Joint Venture and Co-ownership Arrangements with Affiliates of Our Advisor
We may enter into joint ventures or other co-ownership arrangements with other Cole-sponsored programs (as well as other parties) for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties and other investments. See the Investment Objectives and Policies Acquisition and Investment Policies Joint Venture Investments section of this prospectus. Our advisor and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest in determining which Cole-sponsored program should enter into any particular joint venture or co-ownership agreement. The co-venturer or co-owner may have economic or business interests or goals which are or which may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. In addition, should any such joint venture be consummated, our advisor may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interest of the co-venturer or co-owner, and in managing the joint venture or other co-ownership arrangement. Since our advisor and its affiliates will negotiate the terms of any agreements or transactions
87
between us and a Cole-sponsored co-venturer or co-owner, we will not have the benefit of arms-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers or co-owners. However, in such event, a majority of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the joint venture, must approve the joint venture as being fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by the other joint venturers, and the cost of our investment must be supported by a current appraisal of the asset.
Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by Our Advisor and Its Affiliates
A transaction involving the purchase or sale of properties, or the purchase or sale of any other real estate-related investment, will likely result in the receipt of fees and other compensation by our advisor and its affiliates, including acquisition and advisory fees, disposition fees, and the possibility of subordinated performance fees. Subject to oversight by our board of directors, our advisor will have considerable discretion with respect to all decisions relating to the terms and timing of all transactions. Therefore, our advisor may have conflicts of interest concerning certain actions taken on our behalf, particularly due to the fact that acquisition fees will generally be based on the cost of the investment and payable to our advisor and its affiliates regardless of the quality of the properties acquired. Similarly, until such time as our board of directors provides an estimate of the value of our shares, the advisory fees will be based on the cost of our investment, regardless of the quality of the properties acquired or services provided to us. Basing acquisition fees and advisory fees on the cost or estimated value of the investment may influence our advisors decisions relating to property acquisitions.
In advising our board of directors with respect to pursuing a liquidity event, our advisor and its affiliates may have conflicts of interest due to the fees and other consideration they may receive under alternative liquidity events, such as the listing of our shares of common stock on a national exchange, the sale of our company or the liquidation of our assets. In each event, a subordinated performance fee would be paid to our advisor only after our investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. However, in the event our shares of common stock are listed on a national exchange, we may internalize our management functions. One method for internalizing our management functions would be for us to acquire our advisor through a business combination, which could result in significant payments to our advisor or its affiliates. Such payments would be made irrespective of whether our investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Therefore, our advisor may have an incentive to recommend a listing transaction rather than a liquidation transaction. See the Management Compensation section of this prospectus.
In addition, the sale of our shares of common stock in this offering will result in dealer manager fees to Cole Capital Corporation, our dealer manager and an affiliate of our advisor.
Each transaction we enter into with our advisor or its affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. Our board of directors may encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing our rights against any affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with an affiliate or in invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between us and any affiliate.
Certain Conflict Resolution Procedures
In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our charter contains a number of restrictions relating to (1) transactions we may enter into with our advisor and its affiliates, (2) certain future offerings, and (3) allocation of investment opportunities among Cole-sponsored programs. Conflict resolution provisions in our charter and policies adopted by our board of directors include, among others, the following:
| We will not purchase or lease properties from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates unless a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction determines that such transaction is fair and |
88
reasonable to us and at a price to us no greater than the cost of the property to the seller or lessor, unless there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and such excess amount is determined to be reasonable. In no event will we acquire any property at an amount in excess of its current appraised value. We will not sell or lease properties to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates unless a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction determines that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us. |
| We will not make any loans to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their respective affiliates, except that we may make or invest in mortgage loans involving our sponsor, our advisor, our directors or their respective affiliates, provided, among other things, that an appraisal of the underlying property is obtained from an independent appraiser and the transaction is approved by a majority of the directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. In addition, our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors and any of their respective affiliates will not make loans to us or to joint ventures in which we are a joint venture partner unless approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties. |
| Our advisor and its affiliates will be entitled to reimbursement, at cost, for actual expenses incurred by them on behalf of us or joint ventures in which we are a joint venture partner; provided, however, our advisor must reimburse us for the amount, if any, by which our total operating expenses, including the advisor asset management fee, paid during the immediately prior four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeded the greater of: (i) 2% of our average invested assets for such year, or (ii) 25% of our net income, before any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets, for such year. |
| In the event that an investment opportunity becomes available that may be suitable for both us and one or more other Cole-sponsored program, and for which more than one of such entities has sufficient uninvested funds, then our advisor and the advisors of the other programs, with oversight by their respective boards of directors, will examine the following factors, among others, in determining the entity for which the investment opportunity is most appropriate: |
| the investment objective of each entity; |
| the anticipated operating cash flows of each entity and the cash requirements of each entity; |
| the effect of the acquisition both on diversification of each entitys investments by type of property, geographic area and tenant concentration; |
| the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment; |
| the policy of each entity relating to leverage of properties; |
| the income tax effects of the purchase to each entity; and |
| the size of the investment. |
If, in the judgment of the advisors, the investment opportunity may be equally appropriate for more than one program, then the entity that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered such investment opportunity.
If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of the acquisition or a delay in the construction of a property, causes any such investment, in the opinion of the advisors, to be more appropriate for an entity other than the entity that committed to make the investment, the advisors may determine that another Cole-
89
sponsored program will make the investment. Our board of directors, including the independent directors, has a duty to ensure that the method used for the allocation of the acquisition of properties by two or more programs seeking to acquire similar types of properties is applied fairly to us.
| We will not enter into any other transaction with our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, including the acceptance of goods or services from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors or any of their affiliates, unless a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. |

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Investment Objectives
Our primary investment objectives are:
| to acquire quality commercial real estate properties, net leased under long-term leases to creditworthy tenants, which provide current operating cash flows; |
| to provide reasonably stable, current income for you through the payment of cash distributions; and |
| to provide the opportunity to participate in capital appreciation in the value of our investments. |
We may not achieve any of these objectives. See the Risk Factors section of this prospectus.
Our Potential Competitive Strengths
We believe that we will be able to distinguish ourselves from other owners, operators and acquirers of retail and other income-producing properties. We believe our long-term success will be supported through the following potential competitive strengths:
| Coles Disciplined Investment Approach. Mr. Cole began investing in commercial real estate in 1979, focusing primarily on retail and office properties, and raw land in the metropolitan Phoenix area. From 1979 until the end of 1999, Mr. Cole, together with various investment partners, acquired 78 commercial properties and raw land. During that time, Mr. Cole founded what is now Cole Real Estate Investments. From 2002 until the end of 2011, our sponsors real estate programs acquired 1,639 commercial properties, predominantly in the retail sector. See the section of this prospectus captioned Prior Performance Summary for a discussion of the historical experience of the real estate programs managed over the last ten years by our sponsor. Under Mr. Coles leadership, our sponsor developed an investment approach that focuses on acquiring single-tenant necessity corporate properties subject to long-term net leases to creditworthy tenants. In addition, our sponsors investment strategy targets properties that typically have high occupancy rates (greater than 90%) and low to moderate leverage (0% to 50% loan to value). While our sponsor historically has applied its investment approach predominantly in the retail sector, our sponsor has utilized this investment approach in the office and industrial sectors as well. We expect that our advisor will apply this disciplined investment approach to our investments in necessity retail and other income-producing properties. |
| Experienced Advisor. Mr. Roberts, our advisors executive vice president and managing director of real estate, has more than 24 years of commercial real estate experience, and leads a team of experienced real estate industry professionals. Additionally, our advisors executive management team has extensive public company operating experience, with several of its senior executives having held senior positions at publicly held REITs. |
| Successful Credit Underwriting Experience. Cole Real Estate Investments has demonstrated an ability to successfully underwrite the tenants that occupy the real estate assets of Cole-sponsored real estate programs. The combined portfolios of CCPT I, CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy had a 98% occupancy rate as of December 31, 2011. |
| Strong Industry Relationships. We believe that our advisors extensive network of industry relationships with the real estate brokerage, development and investor communities will enable us to successfully execute our acquisition and investment strategies. These relationships augment our advisors ability to source acquisitions in off-market transactions outside of competitive marketing processes, capitalize on development opportunities and capture repeat business and transaction activity. Our advisors strong relationships with the tenant and leasing brokerage communities are expected to aid in attracting and retaining tenants. |
91
| Ability to Purchase Properties for Cash. We expect that one of our competitive advantages will be our ability to purchase properties for cash and to close transactions quickly. We believe our ability to purchase properties for cash will expedite our acquisition process and make us an attractive purchaser to potential sellers of properties. While we have not yet raised a substantial amount of capital, Cole Capital Corporation, the broker-dealer affiliate of our sponsor, has successfully raised capital for other Cole-sponsored real estate programs, and we expect that, through its well-developed distribution capabilities and relationships with other broker-dealers, Cole Capital Corporation will be successful in selling shares on our behalf. |
While we believe that these factors will help distinguish us from our competitors and contribute to our long-term success, there is no guarantee that they will provide us with any actual competitive advantages.
Liquidity Opportunities
Our board of directors will consider future liquidity opportunities, which may include the sale of our company, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or similar transaction, the listing of our shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange or an alternative strategy that will result in a significant increase in the opportunities for stockholders to dispose of their shares. We expect to engage in a strategy to provide our investors with liquidity at a time and in a method recommended by our advisor and determined by our independent directors to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As we are unable to determine what macro- or micro- economic factors may affect the decisions our board of directors make in the future with respect to any potential liquidity opportunity, we have not selected a fixed time period or determined criteria for any such decisions. As a result, while our board of directors will consider a variety of options to provide stockholders with liquidity throughout the life of this program, there is no requirement that we commence any such action on or before a specified date. Stockholder approval would be required for the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or the sale or merger of our company.
Acquisition and Investment Policies
Types of Investments
We invest primarily in income-producing necessity retail properties that are single-tenant or multi-tenant power centers, which are leased to national and regional creditworthy tenants under long-term leases, and are strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates. Necessity retail properties are properties leased to retail tenants that attract consumers for everyday needs, such as pharmacies, home improvement stores, national superstores, restaurants and regional retailers.
For over three decades, our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments, has developed and utilized this investment approach in acquiring and managing core commercial real estate assets primarily in the retail sector but in the office and industrial sectors as well. We believe that our sponsors experience in assembling real estate portfolios, which principally focus on national and regional creditworthy tenants subject to long-term leases, will provide us with a competitive advantage. In addition, our sponsor has built a business of over 325 employees, who are experienced in the various aspects of acquiring, financing and managing commercial real estate, and that our access to these resources also will provide us with an advantage.
We also may invest in other income-producing properties, such as office and industrial properties, which may share certain core characteristics with our retail investments, such as a principal creditworthy tenant, a long-term net lease, and a strategic location. We believe investments in these types of office and industrial properties, which are essential to the business operations of the tenant, are consistent with our goal of providing investors with a relatively stable stream of current income and an opportunity for capital appreciation.
We may further diversify our portfolio by making and investing in mortgage, bridge or mezzanine loans, or in participations in such loans, secured directly or indirectly by the same types of commercial properties that we
92
may acquire directly, and we may invest in other real estate-related securities. We may acquire properties under development or that require substantial refurbishment or renovation. We also may acquire majority or minority interests in other entities (or business units of such entities) with investment objectives similar to ours or with management, investment or development capabilities that our advisor deems desirable or advantageous to acquire. We will not forgo a high quality investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. Our board of directors has broad discretion to change our investment policies in order for us to achieve our investment objectives.
Many of our properties are and we anticipate that future properties will be leased to tenants in the chain or franchise retail industry, including but not limited to convenience stores, drug stores and restaurant properties, as well as leased to large national retailers as stand alone properties or as part of so-called power centers, which are comprised of big box national, regional and local retailers. Our advisor will monitor industry trends and identify properties on our behalf that serve to provide a favorable return balanced with risk. Our management is expected primarily to target regional or national name brand retail businesses with established track records. We generally intend to hold each property for a period in excess of seven years.
We believe that our general focus on the acquisition of a large number of single-tenant and multi-tenant necessity retail properties net leased to creditworthy tenants presents lower investment risks and greater stability than other sectors of todays commercial real estate market. By acquiring a large number of single-tenant and multi-tenant retail properties, we believe that lower than expected results of operations from one or a few investments will not necessarily preclude our ability to realize our investment objective of cash flow from our overall portfolio. We believe this approach can result in less risk to investors than an investment approach that targets other asset classes. In addition, we believe that retail properties under long-term triple net and double net leases offer a distinct investment advantage since these properties generally require less management and operating capital, have less recurring tenant turnover and, with respect to single-tenant properties, often offer superior locations that are less dependent on the financial stability of adjoining tenants. In addition, since we intend to acquire properties that are geographically diverse, we expect to minimize the potential adverse impact of economic slow downs or downturns in local markets. Our management believes that a portfolio consisting of both freestanding, single-tenant retail properties and multi-tenant retail properties anchored by large national retailers will enhance our liquidity opportunities for investors by making the sale of individual properties, multiple properties or our investment portfolio as a whole attractive to institutional investors and by making a possible listing of our shares attractive to the public investment community.
To the extent feasible, we will seek to achieve a well-balanced portfolio diversified by geographic location, age and lease maturities of the various properties. We will pursue properties leased to tenants representing a variety of retail industries to avoid concentration in any one industry. These industries may include all types of retail establishments, such as big box retailers, convenience stores, drug stores and restaurant properties. We also will seek to diversify our tenants among national, regional and local brands. We generally expect to target properties with lease terms in excess of ten years. We may acquire properties with shorter lease terms if the property is in an attractive location, if the property is difficult to replace, or if the property has other significant favorable attributes. We expect that these investments will provide long-term value by virtue of their size, location, quality and condition, and lease characteristics. We currently expect that substantially all of our acquisitions will be in the United States, including U.S. protectorates.
Many retail companies today are entering into sale-leaseback arrangements as a strategy for applying capital that would otherwise be applied to their real estate holdings to their core operating businesses. We believe that our investment strategy will enable us to take advantage of the increased emphasis on retailers core business operations in todays competitive corporate environment as many retailers attempt to divest from real estate assets.
There is no limitation on the number, size or type of properties that we may acquire or on the percentage of net proceeds of this offering that may be invested in a single property. The number and mix of properties
93
comprising our portfolio will depend upon real estate market conditions and other circumstances existing at the time we acquire properties, and the amount of proceeds we raise in this offering. We are not restricted to investments in corporate properties. We will not forego a high quality investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. See Other Possible Investments below for a description of other types of real estate and real estate-related investments we may make.
We intend to incur debt to acquire properties where our advisor determines that incurring such debt is in our best interests. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire some properties without financing and later incur mortgage debt secured by one or more of such properties if favorable financing terms are available. We will use the proceeds from these loans to acquire additional properties. See Borrowing Policies below for a more detailed description of our borrowing intentions and limitations.
Real Estate Underwriting Process
In evaluating potential property acquisitions consistent with our investment objectives, our advisor will apply a well-established underwriting process to determine the creditworthiness of potential tenants. Similarly, our advisor will apply credit underwriting criteria to possible new tenants when we are re-leasing properties in our portfolio. Many of the tenants of our properties are and we expect will continue to be national or regional retail chains that are creditworthy entities having high net worth and operating income. Our advisors underwriting process includes analyzing the financial data and other available information about the tenant, such as income statements, balance sheets, net worth, cash flow, business plans, data provided by industry credit rating services, and/or other information our advisor may deem relevant. Generally, these tenants must have a proven track record in order to meet the credit tests applied by our advisor. In addition, we may obtain guarantees of leases by the corporate parent of the tenant, in which case our advisor will analyze the creditworthiness of the guarantor. In many instances, especially in sale-leaseback situations, where we are acquiring a property from a company and simultaneously leasing it back to the company under a long-term lease, we will meet with the senior management to discuss the companys business plan and strategy.
When using debt rating agencies, a tenant typically will be considered creditworthy when the tenant has an investment grade debt rating by Moodys of Baa3 or better, credit rating by Standard & Poors of BBB- or better, or its payments are guaranteed by a company with such rating. Changes in tenant credit ratings, coupled with future acquisition and disposition activity, may increase or decrease our concentration of creditworthy tenants in the future.
Moodys ratings are opinions of future relative creditworthiness based on an evaluation of franchise value, financial statement analysis and management quality. The rating given to a debt obligation describes the level of risk associated with receiving full and timely payment of principal and interest on that specific debt obligation and how that risk compares with that of all other debt obligations. The rating, therefore, provides one measure of the ability of a company to generate cash in the future.
A Moodys debt rating of Baa3, which is the lowest investment grade rating given by Moodys, is assigned to companies which, in Moodys opinion, have adequate financial security. However, certain protective elements may be lacking or may be unreliable over any given period of time. A Moodys debt rating of AAA, which is the highest investment grade rating given by Moodys, is assigned to companies that, in Moodys opinion, have exceptional financial security. Thus, investment grade tenants will be judged by Moodys to have at least adequate financial security, and will in some cases have exceptional financial security.
Standard & Poors assigns a credit rating to companies and to each issuance or class of debt issued by a rated company. A Standard & Poors credit rating of BBB-, which is the lowest investment grade rating given by Standard & Poors, is assigned to companies that, in Standard & Poors opinion, exhibit adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the company to meet its financial commitments. A Standard & Poors credit rating of
94
AAA+, which is the highest investment grade rating given by Standard & Poors, is assigned to companies that, in Standard & Poors opinion, have extremely strong capacities to meet their financial commitments. Thus, investment grade tenants will be judged by Standard & Poors to have at least adequate protection parameters, and will in some cases have extremely strong financial positions.
While we will utilize ratings by Moodys and Standard & Poors as one factor in determining whether a tenant is creditworthy, our advisor will also consider other factors in determining whether a tenant is creditworthy, for the purpose of meeting our investment objectives. Our advisors underwriting process also will consider information provided by other debt or credit rating agencies, such as Dun & Bradstreet, along with our advisors own analysis of the financial condition of the tenant and/or the guarantor, the operating history of the property with the tenant, the tenants market share and track record within the tenants industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenants industry segment, the strength of the tenants management team and the terms and length of the lease at the time of the acquisition. These factors may cause us to consider a prospective tenant to be creditworthy even if it does not have an investment grade rating.
Description of Leases
We expect, in most instances, to continue to acquire tenant properties with existing double net or triple net leases. Net leases means leases that typically require tenants to pay all or a majority of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes, special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, maintenance, insurance and building repairs related to the property, in addition to the lease payments. Triple net leases typically require the tenant to pay all costs associated with a property in addition to the base rent and percentage rent, if any, including capital expenditures for the roof and the building structure. Double net leases typically hold the landlord responsible for the capital expenditures for the roof and structure, while the tenant is responsible for all lease payments and remaining operating expenses associated with the property. We expect that double net and triple net leases will help ensure the predictability and stability of our expenses, which we believe will result in greater predictability and stability of our cash distributions to stockholders. Not all of our leases will be net leases. In respect of multi-tenant properties, we expect to have a variety of lease arrangements with the tenants of these properties. Since each lease is an individually negotiated contract between two or more parties, each lease will have different obligations of both the landlord and tenant. Many large national tenants have standard lease forms that generally do not vary from property to property. We will have limited ability to revise the terms of leases to those tenants. We expect that multi-tenant office space is likely to be subject to gross leases. Gross leases means leases that typically require the tenant to pay a flat rental amount and we would pay for all property charges regularly incurred as a result of our owning the property. Not all of our leases will be net leases. When spaces in a property become vacant, existing leases expire, or we acquire properties under development or requiring substantial refurbishment or renovation, we anticipate entering into net leases.
Typically, we expect to enter into leases that have terms of ten years or more. We may acquire properties under which the lease term has partially expired. We also may acquire properties with shorter lease terms if the property is in an attractive location, if the property is difficult to replace, or if the property has other significant favorable real estate attributes. Under most commercial leases, tenants are obligated to pay a predetermined annual base rent. Some of the leases also will contain provisions that increase the amount of base rent payable at points during the lease term. We expect that many of our leases will contain periodic rent increases. Generally, the leases require each tenant to procure, at its own expense, commercial general liability insurance, as well as property insurance covering the building for the full replacement value and naming the ownership entity and the lender, if applicable, as the additional insured on the policy. Tenants will be required to provide proof of insurance by furnishing a certificate of insurance to our advisor on an annual basis. The insurance certificates will be tracked and reviewed for compliance by our advisors property and risk management departments. As a precautionary measure, we may obtain, to the extent available, secondary liability insurance, as well as loss of rents insurance that covers one year of annual rent in the event of a rental loss.
95
Some leases may require that we procure insurance for both commercial general liability and property damage; however, generally the premiums are fully reimbursable from the tenant. In such instances, the policy will list us as the named insured and the tenant as the additional insured.
We do not expect to permit leases to be assigned or subleased without our prior written consent. If we do consent to an assignment or sublease, generally we expect the terms of such consent to provide that the original tenant will remain fully liable under the lease unless we release that original tenant from its obligations.
We may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. While we intend to use our best efforts to structure any such sale-leaseback transaction so that the lease will be characterized as a true lease and so that we are treated as the owner of the property for federal income tax purposes, the Internal Revenue Service could challenge this characterization. In the event that any sale-leaseback transaction is re-characterized as a financing transaction for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed, and in certain circumstances, we could lose our REIT status. See the Federal Income Tax Considerations Sale-Leaseback Transactions section of this prospectus.
Investment Decisions
Our advisor has substantial discretion with respect to the selection of our specific investments, subject to our investment and borrowing policies, and our policies are approved by our board of directors. In pursuing our investment objectives and making investment decisions on our behalf, our advisor evaluates the proposed terms of the investment against all aspects of the transaction, including the condition and financial performance of the asset, the terms of existing leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, and property location and characteristics. Because the factors considered, including the specific weight we place on each factor, vary for each potential investment, we do not, and are not able to, assign a specific weight or level of importance to any particular factor.
Our advisor will procure and review an independent valuation estimate on the proposed investment. In addition, our advisor, to the extent such information is available, will consider the following:
| tenant rolls and tenant creditworthiness; |
| a property condition report; |
| unit level store performance; |
| property location, visibility and access; |
| age of the property, physical condition and curb appeal; |
| neighboring property uses; |
| local market conditions, including vacancy rates; |
| area demographics, including trade area population and average household income; |
| neighborhood growth patters and economic conditions; |
| presence of nearby properties that may positively or negatively impact store sales at the subject property; and |
| lease terms, including length of lease term, scope of landlord responsibilities, presence and frequency of contractual rental increases, renewal option provisions, exclusive and permitted use provisions, co-tenancy requirements and termination options. |
Our advisor will review the terms of each existing lease by considering various factors, including:
| rent escalations; |
| remaining lease term; |
96
| renewal option terms; |
| tenant purchase options; |
| termination options; |
| scope of the landlords maintenance, repair and replacement requirements; |
| projected net cash flow yield; and |
| projected internal rates of return. |
Our board of directors has adopted a policy to prohibit acquisitions from affiliates of our advisor except in limited circumstances. See the section of this prospectus captioned Conflicts of Interest Transactions with Our Advisor and its Affiliates.
Conditions to Closing Our Acquisitions
Generally, we condition our obligation to close the purchase of any investment on the delivery and verification of certain documents from the seller or developer, including, where appropriate:
| plans and specifications; |
| surveys; |
| evidence that title to the property can be freely sold or otherwise transferred to us, subject to such liens and encumbrances as are acceptable to our advisor; |
| financial statements covering recent operations of properties having operating histories; |
| title and liability insurance policies; and |
| certificates of the tenant attesting that the tenant believes that, among other things, the lease is valid and enforceable. |
In addition, we will take such steps as we deem necessary with respect to potential environmental matters. See the section of this prospectus captioned Environmental Matters below.
We may enter into purchase and sale arrangements with a seller or developer of a suitable property under development or construction. In such cases, we will be obligated to purchase the property at the completion of construction, provided that the construction conforms to definitive plans, specifications, and costs approved by us in advance. In such cases, prior to our acquiring the property, we generally would receive a certificate of an architect, engineer or other appropriate party, stating that the property complies with all plans and specifications. If renovation or remodeling is required prior to the purchase of a property, we expect to pay a negotiated maximum amount to the seller upon completion. We do not currently intend to construct or develop properties or to render any services in connection with such development or construction but we may do so in the future.
In determining whether to purchase a particular property, we may, in accordance with customary practices, obtain an option to purchase such property. The amount paid for an option, if any, normally is forfeited if the property is not purchased and normally is credited against the purchase price if the property is purchased.
In the purchasing, leasing and developing of properties, we are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate. See the Risk Factors General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate section of this prospectus.
Ownership Structure
Our investments in real estate generally take the form of holding fee title or a long-term leasehold estate. We have acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, such interests either directly through our operating partnership or indirectly through limited liability companies, limited partnerships or other entities owned and/or
97
controlled by our operating partnership. We may acquire properties by acquiring the entity that holds the desired properties. We also may acquire properties through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with third parties, including the developers of the properties or affiliates of our advisor. See the section captioned Our Operating Partnership Agreement in this prospectus and the Joint Venture Investments section below.
Joint Venture Investments
We may enter into joint ventures, partnerships, co-tenancies and other co-ownership arrangements with affiliated entities of our advisors, including other real estate programs sponsored by affiliates of our advisor, and other third parties for the acquisition, development or improvement of properties or the acquisition of other real estate-related investments. We may also enter into such arrangements with real estate developers, owners and other unaffiliated third parties for the purpose of developing, owning and operating real properties. In determining whether to invest in a particular joint venture, our advisor will evaluate the underlying real property or other real estate-related investment using the same criteria described above in Investment Decisions for the selection of our real property investments. Our advisor also will evaluate the joint venture or co-ownership partner and the proposed terms of the joint venture or a co-ownership arrangement.
Our general policy is to invest in joint ventures only when we will have an option or contract to purchase, or a right of first refusal to purchase, the property held by the joint venture or the co-venturers interest in the joint venture if the co-venturer elects to sell such interest. In the event that the co-venturer elects to sell all or a portion of the interests held in any such joint venture, however, we may not have sufficient funds to exercise our right of first refusal to buy the other co-venturers interest in the joint venture. In the event that any joint venture with an affiliated entity holds interests in more than one asset, the interest in each such asset may be specially allocated between us and the joint venture partner based upon the respective proportion of funds deemed invested by each co-venturer in each such asset.
Our advisors officers and key persons may have conflicts of interest in determining which Cole-sponsored program should enter into any particular joint venture agreement. The co-venturer may have economic or business interests or goals that are or may become inconsistent with our business interests or goals. In addition, our advisors officers and key persons may face a conflict in structuring the terms of the relationship between our interests and the interest of the affiliated co-venturer and in managing the joint venture. Since some or all of our advisors officers and key persons will also advise the affiliated co-venturer, agreements and transactions between us and any other Cole-sponsored co-venturer will not have the benefit of arms-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers, which may result in the co-venturer receiving benefits greater than the benefits that we receive. In addition, we may assume liabilities related to the joint venture that exceed the percentage of our investment in the joint venture.
We may enter into joint ventures with other Cole real estate programs, or with our sponsor, our advisor, one or more of our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, only if a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction approve the transaction as being fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the same terms and conditions as those received by unaffiliated joint venturers, and the cost of our investment must be supported by a current appraisal of the asset.
Development and Construction of Properties
We may invest in properties on which improvements are to be constructed or completed or which require substantial renovation or refurbishment. We expect that joint ventures would be the exclusive vehicle through which we would invest in build-to-suit properties. Our general policy is to structure them as follows:
| we may enter into a joint venture with third parties who have an executed lease with the developer who has an executed lease in place with the future tenant whereby we will provide a portion of the equity or debt financing; |
98
| we would accrue a preferred return during construction on any equity investment; |
| the properties will be developed by third parties; and |
| consistent with our general policy regarding joint venture investments, we would have an option or contract to purchase, or a right of first refusal to purchase, the property or co-investors interest. |
It is possible that joint venture partners may resist granting us a right of first refusal or may insist on a different methodology for unwinding the joint venture if one of the parties wishes to liquidate its interest.
In the event that we elect to engage in development or construction projects, in order to help ensure performance by the builders of properties that are under construction, completion of such properties will be guaranteed at the contracted price by a completion guaranty, completion bond or performance bond. Our advisor may rely upon the substantial net worth of the contractor or developer or a personal guarantee accompanied by financial statements showing a substantial net worth provided by an affiliate of the person entering into the construction or development contract as an alternative to a completion bond or performance bond. Development of real estate properties is subject to risks relating to a builders ability to control construction costs or to build in conformity with plans, specifications and timetables. See the Risk Factors General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate section of this prospectus.
We may make periodic progress payments or other cash advances to developers and builders of our properties prior to completion of construction only upon receipt of an architects certification as to the percentage of the project then completed and as to the dollar amount of the construction then completed. We intend to use such additional controls on disbursements to builders and developers as we deem necessary or prudent. We may directly employ one or more project managers, including our advisor or an affiliate of our advisor, to plan, supervise and implement the development of any unimproved properties that we may acquire. Such persons would be compensated directly by us or through an affiliate of our advisor and reimbursed by us. In either event, the compensation would reduce the amount of any construction fee, development fee or acquisition fee that we would otherwise pay to our advisor or its affiliate.
In addition, we may invest in unimproved properties, provided that we will not invest more than 10% of our total assets in unimproved properties or in mortgage loans secured by such properties. We will consider a property to be an unimproved property if it was not acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating cash flows, has no development or construction in process at the time of acquisition and no development or construction is planned to commence within one year of the acquisition.
Environmental Matters
All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence and release of hazardous substances and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. State and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and we intend to take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws.
We generally will not purchase any property unless and until we also obtain what is generally referred to as a Phase I environmental site assessment and are generally satisfied with the environmental status of the property. However, we may purchase a property without obtaining such assessment if our advisor determines the assessment is not necessary because there is an existing recent Phase I site assessment. A Phase I environmental site assessment basically consists of a visual survey of the building and the property in an attempt to identify areas of potential environmental concerns, visually observing neighboring properties to assess surface conditions or activities that may have an adverse environmental impact on the property interviewing the key site manager
99
and/or property owner, contacting local governmental agency personnel and performing an environmental regulatory database search in an attempt to determine any known environmental concerns in, and in the immediate vicinity of, the property. A Phase I environmental site assessment does not generally include any sampling or testing of soil, ground water or building materials from the property and may not reveal all environmental hazards on a property.
In the event the Phase I site assessment uncovers potential environmental problems with a property, our advisor will determine whether we will pursue the investment opportunity and whether we will have a Phase II environmental site assessment performed. The factors we may consider in determining whether to conduct a Phase II site assessment include, but are not limited to, (i) the types of operations conducted on the property and surrounding property, (ii) the time, duration and materials used during such operations, (iii) the waste handling practices of any tenants or property owners, (iv) the potential for hazardous substances to be released into the environment, (v) any history of environmental law violations on the subject property and surrounding property, (vi) any documented environmental releases, (vii) any observations from the consultant that conducted the Phase I environmental site assessment, and (viii) whether any party (i.e. surrounding property owners, prior owners or tenants) may be responsible for addressing the environmental conditions. We will determine whether to conduct a Phase II environmental site assessment on a case by case basis.
We expect that some of the properties that we acquire may contain, at the time of our investment, or may have contained prior to our investment, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances. All of these operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Some of our potential properties may be adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or then currently contain underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain of our potential properties may be on or adjacent to or near other properties upon which others, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. In such an instance, we will estimate the costs of environmental investigation, clean-up and monitoring in determining the purchase price. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties.
Other Possible Investments
Although we expect to invest primarily in real estate, our portfolio may also include other real estate-related investments, such as mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and securities related to real estate assets, frequently, but not necessarily always, in the corporate sector, to the extent such assets do not cause us to lose our REIT status or cause us to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. We may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. Thus, to the extent that our advisor presents us with high quality investment opportunities that allow us to meet the REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and do not cause us, our operating partnership, or any other subsidiaries to meet the definition of an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our portfolio composition may vary from what we initially expect. Our board of directors has broad discretion to change our investment policies in order for us to achieve our investment objectives.
Investing in and Originating Loans. The criteria that our advisor will use in making or investing in loans on our behalf is substantially the same as those involved in acquiring properties for our portfolio. We do not intend to make loans to other persons, to underwrite securities of other issuers or to engage in the purchase and sale of any types of investments other than those relating to real estate. However, unlike our property investments
100
which we expect to hold in excess of seven years, we expect that the average duration of loans will typically be one to five years.
We do not expect to make or invest in loans that are not directly or indirectly secured by real estate. We will not make or invest in mortgage loans on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans outstanding on the property, including our loan, would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of the property, as determined by an independent third party appraiser, unless we find substantial justification due to other underwriting criteria. We may find such justification in connection with the purchase of loans in cases in which we believe there is a high probability of our foreclosure upon the property in order to acquire the underlying assets and in which the cost of the loan investment does not exceed the fair market value of the underlying property. We will not invest in or make loans unless an appraisal has been obtained concerning the underlying property, except for those loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases in which a majority of our independent directors so determine and in the event the transaction is with our advisor, any of our directors or their respective affiliates, the appraisal will be obtained from a certified independent appraiser to support its determination of fair market value.
We may invest in first, second and third mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans, wraparound mortgage loans, construction mortgage loans on real property, and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. However, we will not make or invest in any loans that are subordinate to any mortgage or equity interest of our advisor or any of its or our affiliates. We also may invest in participations in mortgage loans. A mezzanine loan is a loan made in respect of certain real property but is secured by a lien on the ownership interests of the entity that, directly or indirectly, owns the real property. A bridge loan is short term financing, for an individual or business, until permanent or the next stage of financing, can be obtained. Second mortgage and wraparound loans are secured by second or wraparound deeds of trust on real property that is already subject to prior mortgage indebtedness. A wraparound loan is one or more junior mortgage loans having a principal amount equal to the outstanding balance under the existing mortgage loan, plus the amount actually to be advanced under the wraparound mortgage loan. Under a wraparound loan, we would generally make principal and interest payments on behalf of the borrower to the holders of the prior mortgage loans. Third mortgage loans are secured by third deeds of trust on real property that is already subject to prior first and second mortgage indebtedness. Construction loans are loans made for either original development or renovation of property. Construction loans in which we would generally consider an investment would be secured by first deeds of trust on real property for terms of six months to two years. Loans on leasehold interests are secured by an assignment of the borrowers leasehold interest in the particular real property. These loans are generally for terms of from six months to 15 years. The leasehold interest loans are either amortized over a period that is shorter than the lease term or have a maturity date prior to the date the lease terminates. These loans would generally permit us to cure any default under the lease. Mortgage participation investments are investments in partial interests of mortgages of the type described above that are made and administered by third-party mortgage lenders.
In evaluating prospective loan investments, our advisor will consider factors such as the following:
| the ratio of the investment amount to the underlying propertys value; |
| the propertys potential for capital appreciation; |
| expected levels of rental and occupancy rates; |
| the condition and use of the property; |
| current and projected cash flow of the property; |
| potential for rent increases; |
| the degree of liquidity of the investment; |
| the propertys income-producing capacity; |
| the quality, experience and creditworthiness of the borrower; |
101
| general economic conditions in the area where the property is located; |
| in the case of mezzanine loans, the ability to acquire the underlying real property; and |
| other factors that our advisor believes are relevant. |
In addition, we will seek to obtain a customary lenders title insurance policy or commitment as to the priority of the mortgage or condition of the title. Because the factors considered, including the specific weight we place on each factor, will vary for each prospective loan investment, we do not, and are not able to, assign a specific weight or level of importance to any particular factor.
We may originate loans from mortgage brokers or personal solicitations of suitable borrowers, or may purchase existing loans that were originated by other lenders. Our advisor will evaluate all potential loan investments to determine if the security for the loan and the loan-to-value ratio meets our investment criteria and objectives. Most loans that we will consider for investment would provide for monthly payments of interest and some may also provide for principal amortization, although many loans of the nature that we will consider provide for payments of interest only and a payment of principal in full at the end of the loan term. We will not originate loans with negative amortization provisions.
We do not have any policies directing the portion of our assets that may be invested in construction loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans, loans secured by leasehold interests and second, third and wraparound mortgage loans. However, we recognize that these types of loans are riskier than first deeds of trust or first priority mortgages on income-producing, fee-simple properties, and we expect to minimize the amount of these types of loans in our portfolio, to the extent that we make or invest in loans at all. Our advisor will evaluate the fact that these types of loans are riskier in determining the rate of interest on the loans. We do not have any policy that limits the amount that we may invest in any single loan or the amount we may invest in loans to any one borrower. We are not limited as to the amount of gross offering proceeds that we may use to invest in or originate loans.
Our loan investments may be subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities and subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and restrictions, including among other things, regulating credit granting activities, establishing maximum interest rates and finance charges, requiring disclosures to customers, governing secured transactions and setting collection, repossession and claims handling procedures and other trade practices. In addition, certain states have enacted legislation requiring the licensing of mortgage bankers or other lenders and these requirements may affect our ability to effectuate our proposed investments in loans. Commencement of operations in these or other jurisdictions may be dependent upon a finding of our financial responsibility, character and fitness. We may determine not to make loans in any jurisdiction in which the regulatory authority determines that we have not complied in all material respects with applicable requirements.
Investment in Other Real Estate-Related Securities. To the extent permitted by Section V.D.2 of the NASAA REIT Guidelines, and subject to the limitations set forth in this prospectus and in our charter, we may invest in common and preferred real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies. Our board of directors (including all of our independent directors) has authorized us to invest in preferred real estate-related equity securities, provided that such investments do not exceed the limitations contained in any credit facility or other agreement to which we are a party. Real estate-related equity securities are generally unsecured and also may be subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. Our investments in real estate-related equity securities will involve special risks relating to the particular issuer of the equity securities, including the financial condition and business outlook of the issuer.
We may also make investments in CMBS to the extent permitted by the NASAA REIT Guidelines. CMBS are securities that evidence interests in, or are secured by, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. CMBS are generally pass-through certificates that represent beneficial ownership
102
interests in common law trusts whose assets consist of defined portfolios of one or more commercial mortgage loans. They are typically issued in multiple tranches whereby the more senior classes are entitled to priority distributions from the trusts income. Losses and other shortfalls from expected amounts to be received on the mortgage pool are borne by the most subordinate classes, which receive payments only after the more senior classes have received all principal and/or interest to which they are entitled. CMBS are subject to all of the risks of the underlying mortgage loans. We may invest in investment grade and non-investment grade CMBS classes. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to limit any investments in non-investment grade CMBS to not more than 10% of our total assets.
Borrowing Policies
Our advisor believes that utilizing borrowing is consistent with our investment objective of maximizing the return to investors. By operating on a leveraged basis, we have more funds available for investment in properties. This allows us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio.
At the same time, our advisor believes in utilizing leverage in a moderate fashion. While there is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property, our charter limits our aggregate borrowings to 75% of the cost (or 300% of net assets) (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing. Consistent with our advisors approach toward the moderate use of leverage, our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with a justification for such excess borrowing. For example, our independent directors may find that we are justified in exceeding these limitations on borrowings during the offering stage, as we will be in the process of raising our equity capital to build our portfolio. Higher debt levels during the offering stage may enable us to acquire properties earlier than we might otherwise be able to acquire them if we were to adhere to these debt levels, which could yield returns that are accretive to the portfolio. In addition, as we will be in the offering stage, more equity could be raised in the future to reduce the debt levels to within the limitations described herein. After we have acquired a substantial portfolio, our advisor will target a leverage of 50% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets.
Our advisor will use its best efforts to obtain financing on the most favorable terms available to us. Our advisor will have substantial discretion with respect to the financing we obtain, subject to our borrowing policies, which will be approved by our board of directors. Lenders may have recourse to assets not securing the repayment of the indebtedness. Our advisor may refinance properties during the term of a loan only in limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it beneficial to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of the refinancing may include increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements and an increase in property ownership if some refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate.
Our ability to increase our diversification through borrowing may be adversely impacted if banks and other lending institutions reduce the amount of funds available for loans secured by real estate. When interest rates on mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis, we may purchase properties for cash with the intention of obtaining a mortgage loan for a portion of the purchase price at a later time. To the extent that we do not obtain mortgage loans on our properties, our ability to acquire additional properties will be restricted and we may not be able to adequately diversify our portfolio.
We may not borrow money from any of our directors or from our advisor or its affiliates unless such loan is approved by a majority of the directors not otherwise interested in the transaction (including a majority of the
103
independent directors) as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than a comparable loan between unaffiliated parties.
Disposition Policies
We intend to hold each property we acquire for an extended period, generally in excess of seven years. Holding periods for other real estate-related investments may vary. Regardless of intended holding periods, circumstances might arise that could cause us to determine to sell an asset before the end of the expected holding period if we believe the sale of the asset would be in the best interests of our stockholders. The determination of whether a particular asset should be sold or otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing and projected economic conditions, current tenant rolls and tenant creditworthiness, whether we could apply the proceeds from the sale of the asset to make other investments, whether disposition of the asset would increase cash flow, and whether the sale of the asset would be a prohibited transaction under the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise impact our status as a REIT. The selling price of a property that is net leased will be determined in large part by the amount of rent payable under the lease. If a tenant has a repurchase option at a formula price, we may be limited in realizing any appreciation. In connection with our sales of properties we may lend the purchaser all or a portion of the purchase price. In these instances, our taxable income may exceed the cash received in the sale.
Investment Limitations, in General
Our charter places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds or issue securities. Until we list our shares on a national securities exchange, we:
| will not borrow in excess of 75% of the aggregate cost (or 300% of net assets) (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing (although our board of directors has adopted a policy to reduce this limit from 75% to 60%); |
| will not make investments in unimproved property or mortgage loans on unimproved property in excess of 10% of our total assets; |
| will not make or invest in mortgage loans unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property, except for those mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency; |
| will not make or invest in mortgage loans, including construction loans, on any one property if the aggregate amount of all mortgage loans on such property would exceed an amount equal to 85% of the appraised value of such property unless substantial justification exists for exceeding such limit because of the presence of other underwriting criteria; |
| will not invest in indebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property that is subordinate to the lien or other indebtedness of our advisor, any director, our sponsor or any of our affiliates; |
| will not invest in real estate contracts of sale, otherwise known as land sale contracts, unless the contract is in recordable form and is appropriately recorded in the chain of title; |
| will not invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, except for futures contracts when used solely for the purpose of hedging in connection with our ordinary business of investing in real estate assets and mortgages; |
| will not issue equity securities on a deferred payment basis or other similar arrangement; |
| will not issue debt securities in the absence of adequate cash flow to cover debt service; |
| will not issue shares that are assessable after we have received the consideration for which our board of directors authorized their issuance; |
104
| will not issue equity securities redeemable solely at the option of the holder (which restriction has no effect on our share redemption program or the ability of our operating partnership to issue redeemable partnership interests); |
| will not issue options or warrants to our advisor, our directors, our sponsor or any of their respective affiliates except on the same terms as such options or warrants are sold to the general public and provided that such options or warrants do not exceed ten percent of our outstanding shares on the date of grant; |
| will not make any investment that we believe will be inconsistent with our objectives of remaining qualified as a REIT unless and until our board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that REIT qualification is not in our best interests; |
| will not invest in indebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property which is subordinate to the lien of other indebtedness, except where the amount of the subordinated debt, plus the amount of the senior debt, does not exceed 90% of the appraised value of such property, if after giving effect thereto, the value of all such investments of our company (as shown on our books in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, after all reasonable reserves but before provision for depreciation) would not then exceed 25% of our tangible assets (and the value of all investments in this type of subordinated debt will be limited to 10% of our tangible assets); |
| will not engage in securities trading, or engage in the business of underwriting or the agency distribution of securities issued by other persons; |
| will not acquire interests in any entity holding investments or engaging in activities prohibited by Article IX of our charter, except for investments in which we hold a non-controlling interest or investments in publicly-traded entities; and |
| will continually review our investment activity to ensure that we are not classified as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. |
In addition, our charter includes many other investment limitations in connection with transactions with affiliated entities or persons, which limitations are described in the Conflicts of Interest section of this prospectus. Our charter also includes restrictions on roll-up transactions, which are described under the Description of Shares section of this prospectus.
Investment Limitations to Avoid Registration as an Investment Company
We intend to conduct our operations, and the operations of our operating partnership, and any other subsidiaries, so that no such entity meets the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, in relevant part, a company is an investment company if:
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(A), it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities; or |
| pursuant to Section 3(a)(1)(C), it is engaged, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding the 40% test. Investment securities excludes U.S. Government securities and securities of majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. |
We intend to acquire a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate assets; however, our portfolio may include, to a much lesser extent, other real estate-related investments. We also may acquire real estate assets through investments in joint venture entities, including joint venture entities in which we may not own a
105
controlling interest. We anticipate that our assets generally will continue to be held in wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries of the company, each formed to hold a particular asset. We intend to monitor our operations and our assets on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, meet the definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act.
We believe that neither we nor our operating partnership will be considered investment companies under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither of these entities will engage primarily or hold themselves out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, we, through our operating partnership, will be primarily engaged in non-investment company businesses related to real estate. Consequently, we expect that we and our operating partnership will be able to conduct our respective operations such that neither entity will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
In addition, because we are organized as a holding company that will conduct its business primarily through our operating partnership, which in turn is a holding company that will conduct its business through its subsidiaries, we intend to conduct our operations, and the operations of our operating partnership and any other subsidiary, so that we will not meet the 40% test under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act.
In order for us to not meet the definition of an investment company and avoid regulation under the Investment Company Act, we must engage primarily in the business of buying real estate, and these investments must be made within a year after the offering ends. If we are unable to invest a significant portion of the proceeds of this offering in properties within one year of the termination of the offering, we may avoid being required to register as an investment company by temporarily investing any unused proceeds in certificates of deposit or other cash items with low returns. This would reduce the cash available for distribution to investors and possibly lower your returns.
To avoid meeting the definition of an investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, we may be unable to sell assets we would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets we would otherwise wish to retain. Similarly, we may have to acquire additional income or loss generating assets that we might not otherwise have acquired or may have to forgo opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire and would be important to our investment strategy. In addition, a change in the value of any of our assets could negatively affect our ability to avoid being required to register as an investment company. If we were required to register as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court were to require enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of us and liquidate our business.
If we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we would become subject to substantial regulation with respect to our capital structure (including our ability to use borrowings), management, operations, transactions with affiliated persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act), and portfolio composition, including restrictions with respect to diversification and industry concentration and other matters. Compliance with the Investment Company Act would, accordingly, limit our ability to make certain investments and require us to significantly restructure our business plan.
Change in Investment Policies
Our charter requires that our independent directors review our investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies we follow are in the best interests of our stockholders. Each determination and the basis therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the meetings of our board of directors. The methods of implementing our investment policies also may vary as new real estate development trends emerge and new investment techniques are developed.
Generally, our board of directors may revise our investment policies without the concurrence of our stockholders. However, our board of directors will not amend our charter, including any investment policies that
106
are provided in our charter, without the concurrence of a majority of the outstanding shares, except for amendments that do not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of our stockholders.
Real Property Investments
We engage in the acquisition and ownership of commercial properties throughout the United States. We invest primarily in retail and other income-producing commercial properties located throughout the United States.
As of October 3, 2012, we, through separate wholly-owned limited liability companies and limited partnerships, owned 32 properties located in 15 states, consisting of approximately 582,000 gross rentable square feet of commercial space. The properties generally were acquired through the use of proceeds from our initial public offering and proceeds from our revolving credit facility. Our properties as of October 3, 2012 are listed below in order of date of acquisition.

(1) | Fees paid to sponsor are payments made to an affiliate of our advisor for acquisition fees in connection with the property acquisition. For more detailed information on fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates, see the section captioned Management Compensation beginning on page 76 of the prospectus. |

(2) | Initial yield is calculated as the current annualized rental income for the in-place leases at the respective property divided by the property purchase price, exclusive of acquisition costs and acquisition fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates. In general, our properties are subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, and the future costs associated with the double net leases are unpredictable and may reduce the yield. The majority of our properties are subject to triple net leases. Accordingly, our management believes that current annualized rental income is a more appropriate figure from which to calculate initial yield than net operating income. |
(3) | Average yield is calculated as the average annual rental income, adjusted for any rent incentives, for the in-place leases over the non-cancellable lease term at the respective property divided by the property purchase price, exclusive of acquisition costs and acquisition fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates. In general, our properties are subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, and the future costs associated with the double net leases are unpredictable and may reduce the yield. The majority of our properties are subject to triple net leases. Accordingly our management believes that average annual rental income is a more appropriate figure from which to calculate average yield than net operating income. |
(4) | These properties were acquired by purchasing 100% of the membership interests in AA North Ridgeville and PM Wilkesboro, respectively, from Series C. Series C had acquired these properties for the purpose of holding them temporarily until we were able to raise sufficient proceeds in our public offering to acquire them from Series C at its acquisition cost (including acquisition related expenses). A majority of our board of directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transactions approved the acquisitions as being fair and reasonable to us and determined that the cost to us of each property was equal to the cost of the respective property to Series C (including acquisition related expenses). In addition, the purchase price of each property, exclusive of closing costs, was less than the current appraised value of the respective property as determined by an independent third party appraiser. |
(5) | The Benihana Portfolio consists of four single-tenant commercial properties located in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas, which were purchased under individual sale-leaseback agreements with Benihana National of Florida Corp., Benihana Lombard Corp., The Samurai, Inc. and Benihana Woodlands Corp., respectively, as tenants. The properties are subject to individual lease agreements with identical terms. |
(6) | The Stripes Portfolio I consists of three single-tenant commercial properties located in Texas, which are subject to individual lease agreements with identical terms. |

Depreciable Tax Basis
For federal income tax purposes, the aggregate depreciable basis in the properties described in this prospectus is approximately $124.2 million. When we calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes, we depreciate buildings and improvements over a 40-year recovery period, land improvements over a 20-year recovery period and furnishings and equipment over a 12-year recovery period using a straight-line method and a mid-month convention. The preliminary depreciable basis in these properties is estimated, as of October 3, 2012, as follows:

Placement of Debt on Certain Real Property Investments
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 13, 2012, our operating partnership entered into a secured revolving credit facility providing for up to $50.0 million of borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan Chase) as administrative agent, and other lending institutions that may become parties to the Credit Agreement (collectively, with JPMorgan Chase, the Lenders). Subject to meeting certain conditions described in the Credit Agreement and the payment of certain fees, the amount of the Credit Facility could be increased up to a maximum of $250.0 million (the Accordion Feature). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, our operating partnership exercised the Accordion Feature and, on July 13, 2012, entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement), which amended and restated the Credit Agreement in its entirety (the Credit Facility).
111
The Credit Facility allows our operating partnership to borrow up to $250.0 million in revolving loans (the Revolving Loans), with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) 65% of the appraised value of qualified properties as determined by the administrative agent or (ii) 65% of the acquisition costs of qualified properties as reasonably determined by the administrative agent (the Borrowing Base). The Revolving Loans will bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by our operating partnership. For a Eurodollar rate loan, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, the interest rate will be equal to the LIBOR for the interest period, plus 2.35%. For floating rate loans, the interest rate will be a per annum amount equal to 1.35% plus the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; (b) JPMorgan Chases Prime Rate; or (c) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Credit Facility matures on July 13, 2015. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement modified the terms of the Accordion Feature, allowing the amount of the Credit Facility to be increased up to a maximum of $400.0 million, subject to meeting certain conditions described in the Amended Credit Agreement and the payment of certain fees.
As of October 3, 2012, the Borrowing Base under the Credit Facility was approximately $62.0 million based on the underlying collateral pool for qualified properties. As of October 3, 2012, we had $39.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Series C Loan
On April 13, 2012, we entered into a $10.0 million subordinate revolving line of credit with Series C (the Series C Loan). The Series C Loan bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 4.5% with accrued interest payable monthly in arrears and principal due upon maturity on April 12, 2013. In the event the Series C Loan is not paid off on the maturity date, the loan includes default provisions. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest on the Series C Loan will accrue at an annual default interest rate equal to 4% above the stated interest rate. The Series C Loan has been approved by a majority of our directors (including a majority of our independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than a comparable loan between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances. As of October 3, 2012, we had no amount outstanding under the Series C Loan.
Dilution of the Net Tangible Book Value of Our Shares
Our net tangible book value per share is calculated as total book value of assets minus total book value of liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net tangible book value assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as shown through the depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Net tangible book value is used generally as a conservative measure of net worth that we do not believe will reflect the estimated value of our assets upon the sale of our company, an orderly liquidation of the real estate portfolio we intend to acquire or the listing of our shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange consistent with our potential exit strategies. However, after we begin acquiring real estate assets, net tangible book value will reflect certain dilution in value of our common stock from the issue price as a result of (i) accumulated depreciation and amortization of real estate investments, (ii) fees and expenses paid in connection with our public offering, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, (iii) the fees and expenses paid to our advisor and third parties in connection with the acquisition of our assets and related financing, and (iv) the funding of distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, if any. Accordingly, investors in this offering will experience immediate dilution of the net tangible book value per share of our common stock from the per share offering price.
Our offering price was not established on an independent basis and bears no relationship to the net value of our assets. Further, even without depreciation in the value of our assets, the other factors described above with respect to the dilution in the value of our common stock are likely to cause our offering price to be higher than the amount you would receive per share if we were to liquidate after we break escrow, but before the end of the offering period.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Overview
We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we intend to qualify as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. We commenced our principal operations on April 13, 2012, when we issued the initial 308,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by CR IV Advisors. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offering to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of retail and other income-producing commercial properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term leases. We expect that most of the properties will be strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates and subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for all or most of the expenses of maintaining the property (including real estate taxes, special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance, building repairs and common area maintenance related to the property). We generally intend to hold each property we acquire for an extended period, of more than seven years.
Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our property indebtedness and acquisition and operating expenses. Rental and other property income accounted for 96% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. As 99.6% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of June 30, 2012, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 16 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors. CR IV Advisors regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing the tenants financial results, credit rating agency reports, when available, on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenants market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenants industry segment, and other information for changes and possible trends. If CR IV Advisors identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenants financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property, or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, the debt leverage ratio of our consolidated real estate assets, which is the ratio of debt to total gross real estate and related assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 43%.
As we acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any new indebtedness used to acquire the properties. We may manage our risk of changes in real estate prices on future property acquisitions, when applicable, by entering into purchase agreements and loan commitments simultaneously, or through loan assumption, so that our operating yield is determinable at the time we enter into a purchase agreement, by contracting with developers for future delivery of properties or by entering into sale-leaseback transactions. We manage our interest rate risk by monitoring the interest rate environment in connection with our future property acquisitions, when applicable, or upcoming debt maturities to determine the appropriate financing or refinancing terms, which may include fixed rate loans, variable rate loans or interest rate hedges. If we are unable to acquire suitable properties or obtain suitable financing terms for future acquisitions or refinancing, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Recent Market Conditions
Beginning in late 2007, domestic and international financial markets experienced significant disruptions that were brought about in large part by challenges in the world-wide banking system. These disruptions severely impacted the availability of credit and contributed to rising costs associated with obtaining credit. Since 2010, the
114
volume of mortgage lending for commercial real estate has been increasing and lending terms have improved and they continue to improve; however, such lending activity continues to be significantly less than previous levels. Although lending market conditions have improved, certain factors continue to negatively affect the lending environment, including the sovereign credit issues of certain countries in the European Union. We may experience more stringent lending criteria, which may affect our ability to finance certain property acquisitions or refinance any debt at maturity. Additionally, for properties for which we are able to obtain financing, the interest rates and other terms on such loans may be unacceptable. We expect to manage the current mortgage lending environment by considering alternative lending sources, including the securitization of debt, utilizing fixed rate loans, borrowings on our Amended Credit Facility, short-term variable rate loans, assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, or entering into interest rate lock or swap agreements, or any combination of the foregoing.
The economic downturn led to high unemployment rates and a decline in consumer spending. These economic trends have adversely impacted the retail and real estate markets by causing higher tenant vacancies, declining rental rates and declining property values. In 2011 and the first half of 2012, the economy improved and continues to show signs of recovery. Additionally, the real estate markets have experienced an improvement in property values, occupancy and rental rates; however, in many markets property values, occupancy and rental rates continue to be below those previously experienced before the economic downturn. As of June 30, 2012, 99.6% of our rentable square feet was under lease. However, if the recent improvements in economic conditions do not continue, we may experience vacancies or be required to reduce rental rates on occupied space. If we do experience vacancies, CR IV Advisors will actively seek to lease our vacant space, however, such space may be leased at lower rental rates and for shorter lease terms than our current leases provide.
Results of Operations
On April 13, 2012 we commenced principal operations and as of June 30, 2012, we owned 16 properties, of which 99.6% of the gross rentable square feet was leased. As we did not commence principal operations until April 13, 2012, comparative financial data is not presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $648,000. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income of $622,000 related to the properties we acquired in the six months ended June 30, 2012 (the 2012 Acquisitions), which accounted for 96% of total revenue. We also paid certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $26,000 in tenant reimbursement income during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $188,000, primarily consisting of board of directors fees, advisor operating expense reimbursements, unused Credit Facility fees, legal fees, accounting fees, organization fees and state income and franchise taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, property operating expenses were $27,000, primarily related to property taxes. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $261,000 and acquisition expenses totaled $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012, related to the 2012 Acquisitions.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $90,000.
The 2012 Acquisitions were financed with proceeds from our offering and $27.7 million in borrowings from our Credit Facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred interest expense of $253,000, which included $37,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs. Our debt financing costs in
115
future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the level of investor proceeds raised, the cost and availability of borrowings, and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets in accordance with our investment strategy.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $648,000. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income of $622,000 related to the 2012 Acquisitions, which accounted for 96% of total revenue. We also paid certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $26,000 in tenant reimbursement income during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $223,000, primarily consisting of board of directors fees, advisor operating expense reimbursements, unused Credit Facility fees, legal fees, accounting fees, organization fees and state income and franchise taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, property operating expenses were $27,000, primarily related to property taxes. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $261,000 and acquisition expenses totaled $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 related to the 2012 Acquisitions.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $90,000.
Our 2012 Acquisitions were financed with proceeds from our offering and $27.7 million in borrowings from our Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred interest expense of $253,000, which included $37,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs. Our debt financing costs in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the level of investor proceeds raised, the cost and availability of borrowings, and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets in accordance with our investment strategy.
Distributions
Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 366 days in the calendar year, of $0.001707848 per share for stockholders of record as of each day of the period commencing on April 14, 2012, the first day following the release from escrow of the subscription proceeds received in our offering, and ending on September 30, 2012.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we paid distributions of $84,000, including $44,000 through the issuance of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Our 2012 distributions were funded by proceeds from our offering. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 reflects a reduction for real estate acquisition fees and related expenses incurred and expensed of $1.9 million, in accordance with GAAP. As set forth in the Estimated Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by proceeds from our offering. Therefore, for consistency, proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012 have been reported as a source of distributions to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, no distributions were paid as we had not commenced principal operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, for the payment of principal and interest on any outstanding

indebtedness and to satisfy redemption requests. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of our offering and from debt financings. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by the rental income received from our leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through our offering and to utilize such funds and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, distributions and interest and principal on current and any future indebtedness. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and proceeds from our offering, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our expected future acquisitions.
We expect our operating cash flows to increase as we acquire properties. Assuming a maximum offering and assuming all shares available under our distribution reinvestment plan are sold, we expect that approximately 88.1% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock will be invested in real estate and real estate-related assets, while the remaining approximately 11.9% will be used for working capital and to pay costs of the offering, including sales commissions, dealer manager fees, organization and offering expenses and fees and expenses of CR IV Advisors in connection with acquiring properties. CR IV Advisors pays the organizational and other offering costs associated with the sale of our common stock, which we reimburse in an amount up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of our offering. As of June 30, 2012, CR IV Advisors had paid offering and organization costs of $2.1 million in connection with our offering, of which we had reimbursed $906,000. The remaining $1.2 million of costs related to the organization of our offering were not included in our financial statements as of June 30, 2012 because such costs were not a liability to us as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from our offering. This amount may become payable to CR IV Advisors as we continue to raise additional proceeds in our offering.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on any future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from the sale of our common stock, borrowings on our Amended Credit Facility or the Series C Loan, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and net cash flows from operations.
We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including proceeds from our offering, borrowings on the Amended Credit Facility and/or future borrowings on our unencumbered assets. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower than expected returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from our offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions to our stockholders.
As of June 30, 2012, we had issued approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock in our offering resulting in gross proceeds of $45.1 million. We have not received any redemption requests or redeemed any shares of our common stock.
As of June 30, 2012, we had $27.7 million of debt outstanding on our Credit Facility and an additional $5.1 million of availability based on the current borrowing base assets. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this prospectus for certain terms of the Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2012, the ratio of our debt to gross real estate and related assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities was 43%.

(1) | The table above does not include amounts due to CR IV Advisors or its affiliates pursuant to our advisory agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable. |
We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and make other real estate related investments. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. Our future borrowings will not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the North American Securities Administrators Association REIT Guidelines; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to a net loss of $2.2 million, which resulted from $1.9 million of acquisition costs for the 2012 Acquisitions, offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses of $358,000 and depreciation and amortization expenses totaling $287,000. See Results of Operations for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily resulting from the purchase of the 2012 Acquisitions.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $67.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $45.1 million and net proceeds from the line of credit of $27.7 million.
Election as a REIT
We believe we qualify and intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended beginning with the year ending December 31, 2012. To qualify and maintain status as a REIT, we must meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we
118
believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. We will be subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Below are the accounting policies we believe will be critical once we commence principal operations. We consider these policies to be critical because they require our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If managements judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets
We will be required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful life of each asset. Real estate assets will be stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition, excluding acquisition related expenses, construction and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the related asset and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred.
Assets, other than land, will be depreciated or amortized on a straight line basis. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are generally as follows:
Building and capital improvements |
40 years | |||
Tenant improvements |
Lesser of useful life or lease term | |||
Intangible lease assets |
Lease term |
We will continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that we will consider include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a propertys major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions, a significant decrease in a propertys revenues due to circumstances such as lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses or reduced lease rates. When indicators of potential impairment are present, we will assess the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we will reduce the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities to their fair value and recognize an impairment loss.
Projections of expected future cash flows will require us to use estimates such as current market rental rates on vacant properties, future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease a property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of
119
alternative assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in a different assessment of the propertys future cash flow and fair value and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets.
When a real estate asset is identified by management as held for sale, we will cease depreciation of the asset and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs. If, in managements opinion, the net sales price of the asset is less than the net book value of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying value would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property net of selling costs.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, we will allocate the purchase price of such properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above market and below market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their fair values. We will utilize independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building). We will obtain an independent appraisal for each real property acquisition. The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to us, will be used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by us in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to lease intangibles. The appraisal firm will have no involvement in managements allocation decisions other than providing this market information.
The fair values of above market and below market in-place leases will be recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which will generally be obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the non-cancelable term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods, with respect to a below market lease. The above market and below market lease values will be capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities. Above market lease values will be amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below market leases will be amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above market and below market in-place lease values relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.
The fair values of in-place leases will include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, and opportunity costs associated with lost rentals which are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant may include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated, in part, by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and managements consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs will be included in intangible lease assets in our consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to expense over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs will be calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. These intangibles will be included in intangible lease assets in our consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized to expense over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.
The determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired will require the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, discount and capitalization rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of our reported net income.
120
Revenue Recognition
Upon the acquisition of real estate, we expect certain properties will have leases where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. We will record rental revenue for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. When we acquire a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation. We defer the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Expected reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses will be included in rental income in the period the related costs are incurred.
Real Estate Loans Receivable
Mortgage notes receivable will consist of loans we acquire, which are secured by real estate. Mortgage notes receivable will be recorded at stated principal amounts net of any discount or premium and deferred loan origination costs or fees. The related discounts or premiums on mortgage notes receivable purchased will be amortized or accreted over the life of the related mortgage receivable. We will defer certain loan origination and commitment fees, and amortize them as an adjustment of the mortgage notes receivables yield over the term of the related mortgage receivable. We will evaluate the collectability of both interest and principal on each mortgage note receivable to determine whether it is collectible. A mortgage note receivable will be considered to be impaired, when based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a mortgage note receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss will be calculated as the amount by which the recorded investment exceeds the greater of the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the mortgage note receivables effective interest rate or the value of the underlying collateral if the mortgage note receivable is collateralized. Interest income on performing mortgage note receivable will be accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired mortgage notes receivable will be recognized on a cash basis.
Income Taxes
We intend to make an election under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as a REIT, beginning with the taxable year ending December 31 for the first year in which we commence material operations. If we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we make an election to be taxed as a REIT and later fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and certain relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income. However, we believe that we are organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes during the year ending December 31 for the first year in which we commence material operations, and we intend to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Commitments and Contingencies
We may be subject to certain contingencies and commitments with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 6 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this prospectus for further explanations.

Prior Investment Programs
The information presented in this section and in the Prior Performance Tables attached to this prospectus provides relevant summary information on the historical experience of the real estate programs managed over the last ten years by our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments, including certain officers and directors of our advisor. The prior performance of the programs previously sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments is not necessarily indicative of the results that we will achieve. For example, most of the prior programs were privately offered and did not bear a fee structure similar to ours, or the additional costs associated with being a publicly held entity. Therefore, you should not assume that you will experience returns comparable to those experienced by investors in prior real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments.
We intend to conduct this offering in conjunction with future offerings by one or more public and private real estate entities sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments. To the extent that such entities have the same or similar objectives as ours or involve similar or nearby properties, such entities may be in competition with the properties acquired by us. See the Conflicts of Interest section of this prospectus for additional information.
The Prior Performance Tables set forth information as of the dates indicated regarding the prior programs subject to public reporting requirements, including (1) experience in raising and investing funds (Table I); (2) compensation to the sponsor and its affiliates (Table II); (3) annual operating results of prior real estate programs (Table III); and (4) results of sales or disposals of properties (Table V). The Company has not included the results of completed programs (Table IV) since none of the prior public real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments have completed their operations during the five years ended December 31, 2011. Additionally, Table VI, which is contained in Part II of the registration statement for this offering and which is not part of this prospectus, contains certain additional information relating to properties acquired by these prior real estate programs. We will furnish copies of such tables to any prospective investor upon request and without charge. The purpose of this prior performance information is to enable you to evaluate accurately the experience of our advisor and its affiliates in sponsoring like programs. The following discussion is intended to summarize briefly the objectives and performance of the prior real estate programs and to disclose any material adverse business developments sustained by them. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 98% of the prior real estate programs had investment objectives similar to those of this program, based on number of programs.
Summary Information
Prior Private Programs
During the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, Cole Real Estate Investments sponsored 63 privately offered programs, including four limited partnerships, four debt offerings, 27 Delaware Statutory Trusts, 26 tenant-in-common programs, and CCPT I, a privately offered REIT, each with similar investment objectives to those of this program, and one limited partnership that did not have similar investment objectives to this program. As of December 31, 2011, such privately offered prior programs have raised approximately $654.0 million from approximately 5,900 investors.
With respect to the four privately offered limited partnerships sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments during the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, which had similar investment objectives to this program, affiliates of our advisor have been general partners in each limited partnership. In total, limited partnership interests were sold to approximately 1,400 investors, raising approximately $65.7 million of capital. The foregoing partnerships have purchased in the aggregate 25 properties for an approximate acquisition cost of $171.0 million, of which approximately 68.4% is attributable to 23 single-tenant retail and commercial properties and 31.6% is attributable to two shopping centers. The properties were located in the following states: three in
123
Tennessee; three in Oklahoma; two in California; two in Florida; two in Ohio; and one each in Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington. The properties have been purchased on terms varying from all cash to market rate financing. All of the 25 properties have been sold and each of the limited partnerships has completed operations.
The four privately offered limited partnerships, Cole Credit Property Fund I, LP (CCPF), Cole Credit Property Fund II, LP (CCPF II), Cole Santa Fe Investors, LP and Cole Boulevard Square Investors, LP, achieved average annual returns ranging from approximately 8.07% to approximately 15.36% during the life of the respective partnership through the date of liquidation.
Two of the privately offered limited partnerships, CCPF and CCPF II, disposed an aggregate of 22 properties through a sale to CCPT II for $121.2 million. In accordance with CCPT IIs charter, CCPT IIs board of directors, including all of its independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transactions, approved these purchases as being fair and reasonable to CCPT II at a price in excess of the cost paid by the affiliated seller, and determined that there was substantial justification for the excess cost. In addition, the limited partners of CCPF and CCPF II approved the sales.
With respect to the one privately offered limited partnership sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments during the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, CGOF, which did not have similar investment objectives to this program, an affiliate of our advisor serves as the general partner. Unlike the investment approach of our sponsors other programs, which were designed to provide current income through the payment of cash distributions, CGOF is designed to invest in properties located in high growth markets in the early stages of development, where value added investment strategies could be implemented with the objective of realizing appreciation through the sale or other form of disposition of properties. As of December 31, 2011, CGOF had raised approximately $26.3 million from approximately 400 investors and owned directly, or indirectly through investments in joint ventures, a total of four properties, including three properties in Arizona and one property in Nevada, for an aggregate cost of approximately $27.3 million including development related costs. As of December 31, 2011, none of these properties had been sold.
In addition to the partnerships described above, as of December 31, 2011, affiliates of our advisor had issued an aggregate of approximately $114.2 million in collateralized senior notes through four privately offered debt programs and had acquired an aggregate of 123 single-tenant retail properties, 40 single-tenant commercial properties, three multi-tenant retail properties and one land parcel in 37 states for an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $1.0 billion. The debt offerings are considered to be prior programs, as proceeds were primarily used to invest in single-tenant income-producing retail and commercial properties. One of the primary purposes of the note programs was to enable Cole Real Estate Investments to acquire assets that might be suitable for its tenant-in-common program and Delaware Statutory Trust program and for acquisition by one of its equity programs pending such time as the respective program had sufficient capital and/or corporate approval to acquire the asset. As of December 31, 2011, 163 of the properties had been sold, of which eight were sold to CCPT I, one land parcel was sold to CGOF, 17 were sold to CCPT II, six were sold to CCPT III, one was sold to CCIT, 26 were sold to participants in Cole Real Estate Investments tenant-in-common program, 52 were sold to participants in Cole Real Estate Investments Delaware Statutory Trust program and the remaining 52 properties were sold to unrelated third parties. On April 28, 2006, an affiliate of our advisor redeemed at par all of the approximately $28.0 million in collateralized senior notes issued under the first debt offering. On April 6, 2009, an affiliate of our advisor redeemed at par all of the approximately $28.8 million in collateralized senior notes issued under the second debt offering. On March 11, 2011, an affiliate of our advisor redeemed at par all of the approximately $28.7 million in collateralized senior notes issued under the third debt offering.
124
In addition, Cole Real Estate Investments offered properties to Section 1031 exchange investors through the sale of tenant-in-common ownership interests in such properties. As of December 31, 2011, aggregate ownership interests in 26 properties of approximately $171.4 million had been sold in 26 private offerings of properties located in 15 states. The value of such tenant-in-common ownership interests was determined by the aggregate purchase price, including acquisition costs, of the properties. In addition, Cole Real Estate Investments offered properties through a Delaware statutory trust program whereby beneficial interests were offered in trusts that acquired real property. As of December 31, 2011, aggregate ownership interests in 52 properties of approximately $176.1 million had been sold in 27 private offerings of properties located in 21 states. The value of such beneficial interests was determined by the aggregate purchase price, including acquisition costs, of the real property acquired. Each of the programs described in this paragraph were still in operation as of December 31, 2011 and have similar investment objectives to this program.
On April 6, 2004, CCPT I commenced a private placement of shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts. CCPT I completed the private placement on September 16, 2005, after having raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100.3 million. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT I had approximately 1,400 investors, and had acquired 42 single-tenant retail properties located in 19 states for an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $199.1 million. CCPT I has similar investment objectives to this program. Additionally, as of December 31, 2011, CCPT I had sold one property for $19.1 million. CCPT I disclosed in its private placement memorandum a targeted liquidity event by February 1, 2016. Such targeted date has not yet occurred, and CCPT I has not had a liquidity event. See the Prior Performance Tables for additional information regarding this program.
Upon written request, any potential investor may obtain, without charge, the most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by CCPT I within the last 24 months. For a reasonable fee, CCPT I will provide copies of any exhibits to such Form 10-K.
During the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, the prior private programs purchased an aggregate of 229 properties located in 40 states. The table below gives information about these properties by region.

Based on the aggregate purchase price of the 229 properties, approximately 76.0% were single-tenant retail properties, approximately 13.8% were shopping centers, approximately 9.4% were single-tenant commercial properties, and approximately 0.8% was land. The following table shows a breakdown of the aggregate amount of the acquisition and development costs of the properties purchased by the prior private real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments as of December 31, 2011:

As of December 31, 2011, these private programs had sold 184, or 86.6% of the total 229 properties purchased, of which 39 properties were sold to CCPT II, six properties were sold to CCPT III, one was sold to
125
CCIT and 138 properties were sold to unrelated third parties. Of the 138 properties sold to unrelated third parties, 26 properties sold to participants in Cole Real Estate Investments tenant-in-common program and 52 properties sold to participants in Cole Real Estate Investments Delaware Statutory Trust program. The original purchase price of the properties that were sold was approximately $1.2 billion, and the aggregate sales price of such properties was approximately $1.3 billion.
During the three years ended December 31, 2011, the prior private real estate programs purchased one single-tenant commercial property located in San Antonio, Texas for $32.9 million.
Prior Public Programs
Other than our company, Cole Real Estate Investments sponsored four publicly offered REITs, CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy, during the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011. CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy each have similar investment objectives to this program. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT II had raised approximately $2.2 billion from approximately 41,000 investors, CCPT III had raised approximately $3.9 billion from approximately 87,000 investors, CCIT had raised approximately $13.5 million from approximately 400 investors and Cole Income NAV Strategy had raised $10.0 million from one investor, an affiliate of our sponsor. For more detailed information about the experience of our sponsor in raising and investing funds for CCPT II and CCPT III and compensation paid to the sponsors of CCPT II, CCPT III, CCIT and Cole Income NAV Strategy, see Tables I and II of the Prior Performance Tables.
On June 27, 2005, CCPT II commenced an initial public offering of shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, in a primary offering, and for $9.50 per share pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan. CCPT II terminated its initial public offering on May 22, 2007 and commenced a follow-on public offering on May 23, 2007. Pursuant to the follow-on offering, CCPT II offered and sold shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, in a primary offering, and for $9.50 per share pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. CCPT II terminated its follow-on offering on January 2, 2009, although it continues to offer and sell shares of its common stock to existing CCPT II stockholders pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT II had raised approximately $2.2 billion from approximately 41,000 investors and had acquired 419 single-tenant retail properties, 312 single-tenant commercial properties, and 22 multi-tenant retail properties in an aggregate of 45 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands for an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $3.3 billion. CCPT II also acquired indirect interests in one multi-tenant retail property through an unconsolidated joint venture for approximately $53.7 million and in a ten self-storage property portfolio through an unconsolidated joint venture for approximately $70.7 million. CCPT II disclosed in its prospectus a targeted liquidity event by May 22, 2017. On June 28, 2011, CCPT II disclosed that Cole Real Estate Investments is actively exploring options to successfully exit CCPT IIs portfolio. CCPT II has stated that the potential exit strategies it is evaluating include, but are not limited to, a sale of the company or all or a portion of its portfolio, a merger or other business combination, or a listing of the companys stock on a national securities exchange. Such targeted liquidity date has not yet occurred, and CCPT II has not finalized a plan for, or had, a liquidity event.
On October 1, 2008, CCPT III commenced an initial public offering of shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, in a primary offering, and for $9.50 per share pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan. CCPT III terminated its initial public offering on October 1, 2010 and commenced a follow-on public offering on October 1, 2010. Pursuant to the follow-on offering, CCPT III sold shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, in a primary offering, and for $9.50 per share pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. CCPT III ceased issuing shares in its follow-on offering on April 27, 2012, although it continues to offer and sell shares of its common stock to existing CCPT III stockholders pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT III had raised approximately $3.9 billion from approximately 87,000 investors and had acquired 502 single-tenant retail properties, 135 single-tenant commercial properties, 53 multi-tenant retail properties, and 3 land parcels under construction in an aggregate of 47 states for an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately
126
$5.2 billion, or a total of 693 properties, which includes three consolidated joint ventures. In addition, through two unconsolidated joint venture arrangements, as of December 31, 2011, CCPT III had interests in seven properties comprising 935,000 gross rentable square feet of commercial space. CCPT III disclosed in its prospectus that, while it does not have a fixed liquidity event date, if it does not list its shares of common stock on a national securities exchange by October 1, 2020, CCPT IIIs charter requires that it either seek stockholder approval of an extension or elimination of the listing deadline or stockholder approval of the liquidation and dissolution of CCPT III. If CCPT III does not obtain either such stockholder approval, its charter does not require a liquidity event and CCPT III could continue to operate as before.
The offering price for CCPT IIIs shares of common stock is not based on the expected book value or expected net asset value of CCPT IIIs proposed investments, or its expected operating cash flows. Although CCPT IIIs board of directors may do so at any time in its discretion, it is not anticipated that CCPT IIIs board of directors will undertake a process for estimating the per share value of CCPT IIIs common stock for the 18-month period following the termination of the follow-on offering.
CCPT IIIs share redemption program provides, in general, that the number of shares CCPT III may redeem are limited to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing twelve-month period prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which redemptions are paid. In addition, the cash available for redemption is limited to the proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT III has redeemed in full all valid redemption requests received in good order. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of CCPT IIIs share redemption program.
On February 10, 2011, CCIT commenced an initial public offering of shares of its common stock for $10.00 per share, subject to certain volume and other discounts, in a primary offering, and for $9.50 per share pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2011, CCIT had raised approximately $13.5 million from approximately 400 investors and had acquired one single-tenant commercial property for an acquisition cost of approximately $32.9 million.
CCITs share redemption program provides, in general, that the number of shares CCIT may redeem are limited to 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing twelve-month period prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which redemptions are paid. In addition, the cash available for redemption is limited to the proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2011, CCIT had not received any redemption requests or redeemed any shares under its share redemption program.
On December 6, 2011, Cole Income NAV Strategy commenced an initial public offering of up to $4.0 billion in shares of its common stock at an initial offering price of $15.00 per share. The conditions of the escrow agreement were satisfied on December 7, 2011, and thereafter, the per share purchase price of Cole Income NAV Strategys common stock varies from day-to-day, and on any given business day is equal to its net asset value (NAV) divided by the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of the end of business on such day. The purchase price for shares under the distribution reinvestment program will be equal to the NAV per share on the date that the distribution is payable, after giving effect to the distribution. As of December 31, 2011, Cole Income NAV Strategy had raised approximately $10.0 million from Cole Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of our sponsor, and had acquired eight single-tenant retail properties and one multi-tenant retail property in an aggregate of seven states for an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $31.0 million.
Cole Income NAV Strategys share redemption program provides that, in each calendar quarter, net redemptions will be limited to 5% of Cole Income NAV Strategys total NAV as of the end of the immediately preceding quarter. If less than the full 5% limit available for a quarter is used, the unused percentage will be carried over to the next quarter, but the maximum carryover percentage cannot exceed 15% in the aggregate, and net redemptions in any quarter may not exceed 10% of the prior quarter ends NAV. In the event that
127
redemptions exceed the quarterly limit, additional redemption limitations will apply in the following quarter. As of December 31, 2011, Cole Income NAV Strategy had not received any redemption requests and had not redeemed any shares under its share redemption program.
During the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2011, the prior public real estate programs purchased 1,456 properties located in 47 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The table below gives information about these properties by region.

Based on the aggregate purchase price of the 1,456 properties, approximately 50.0% were single-tenant retail properties, approximately 25.8% were single-tenant commercial properties, approximately 24.1% were multi-tenant retail properties, and approximately 0.1% was land.
The following table shows a breakdown of the aggregate amount of the acquisition and development costs of the properties purchased by the prior public real estate programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments as of December 31, 2011:

As of December 31, 2011, the prior public programs had not sold any of the 1,456 properties purchased by these public programs; however, on September 30, 2011, CCPT II sold 100% of its interest in the unconsolidated joint venture that owned and operated ten self-storage properties for gross cash proceeds of $19.1 million.
During the three years ended December 31, 2011, the prior public real estate programs had purchased 782 properties located in 47 states. The table below gives information about these properties by region.

Liquidity Track Record
Prior Private Programs
Of the 63 prior private programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments discussed above, 35 of them disclosed a targeted date or time frame for liquidation in their private placement memorandum. Of the 35 programs that made such disclosure, five programs liquidated by the date or within the time frame set forth in their private placement memorandum. With respect to the remaining 30 programs that made such disclosure, the targeted date or time frame for liquidation has not yet occurred, and those programs were still in operation as of December 31, 2011.
Prior Public Programs
Of the four prior public programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments discussed above, two of them, CCPT II and CCPT III, disclosed in their prospectus a targeted date or time frame for listing their shares on a national securities exchange or seeking stockholder approval of either (1) an extension or elimination of the listing deadline, or (2) a liquidation. With respect to each of the programs, the targeted date or time frame for listing or seeking such stockholder approval has not yet occurred, and the programs are still in operation as of December 31, 2011. CCIT has not established a targeted date or time frame for pursuing a liquidity event, although it has disclosed in its prospectus that it expects to engage in a strategy to provide its investors with liquidity at a time and in a method recommended by its advisor and determined by its independent directors to be in the best interests of its stockholders. Accordingly, the timing and method of any liquidity event for CCIT is undetermined as of December 31, 2011. Cole Income NAV Strategy is structured as a perpetual-life, non-exchange traded REIT, which means that, subject to regulatory approval of registrations for additional future offerings, it will be selling shares of its common stock on a continuous basis and for an indefinite period of time.
Adverse Business and Other Developments
Adverse changes in general economic conditions have occasionally affected the performance of the prior programs. The following discussion presents a summary of significant adverse business developments or conditions experienced by Cole Real Estate Investments prior programs over the past ten years that may be material to investors in this offering.
Share Valuation
CCPT I stated in its private placement memorandum that after two years from the last offering of its shares of common stock, CCPT I would provide an estimated value per share for the principal purpose of assisting fiduciaries of plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of ERISA, and IRA trustees or custodians, which prepare reports relating to an investment in CCPT Is shares of common stock. On January 13, 2012, CCPT I announced that its board of directors approved an estimated value of CCPT Is common stock of $7.95 per share as of December 31, 2011. This is an increase from the previously reported estimated value of CCPT Is common stock of $7.65 per share estimated value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, announced by CCPT I on January 13, 2011 and February 1, 2010, respectively. The shares of CCPT Is common stock were originally sold at a gross offering price of $10.00 per share. The principal reason for the decrease in share value beginning with the December 31, 2009 valuation was a decline in real estate values, despite CCPT Is properties maintaining a 100% occupancy rate. The decline in values resulted from disruptions in the credit markets and the general economic conditions. In determining an estimated value of CCPT Is shares of common stock in January 2012, the board of directors of CCPT I relied upon information provided by an independent investment banking firm
129
that specializes in providing real estate financial services, and information provided by CCPT I Advisors. In determining on estimated value of CCPT Is shares of common stock in January 2011 and February 2010, the board of directors of CCPT I relied on information provided by an independent consultant that specializes in valuing commercial real estate companies, and information provided by CCPT I Advisors. The statements of value were only an estimate and may not reflect the actual value of CCPT Is shares of common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimated value per share would be realized by CCPT Is stockholders if they were to attempt to sell their shares or upon liquidation.
In February 2009, FINRA informed broker dealers that sell shares of non-exchange traded REITs that broker dealers may not report, in a customer account statement, an estimated value per share that is developed from data more than 18 months old. To assist broker dealers in complying with the FINRA notice, the board of directors of CCPT II established an estimated value of CCPT IIs common stock of $9.35 per share as of July 27, 2011. This is an increase from the previously reported estimated share value of $8.05 per share announced on June 22, 2010. The shares of CCPT IIs common stock were originally sold at a gross offering price of $10.00 per share. The principal reason for the initial decrease in share value was a decline in real estate values resulting from disruptions in the credit markets and the general economic conditions, in addition to a decline in CCPT IIs occupancy rate to 94%. CCPT IIs occupancy rate increased to 96% as of December 31, 2011. In determining an estimated value of CCPT IIs shares of common stock in July 2011, the board of directors of CCPT II relied upon information provided by an independent investment banking firm that specializes in providing real estate financial services, and information provided by CCPT II Advisors. In determining an estimated value of CCPT IIs shares of common stock in June 2010, the board of directors of CCPT II relied upon information provided by an independent consultant that specializes in valuing commercial real estate companies, and information provided by CCPT II Advisors. The statements of value were only an estimate and may not reflect the actual value of CCPT IIs shares of common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimated value per share would be realized by CCPT IIs stockholders if they were to attempt to sell their shares or upon liquidation. CCPT IIs board of directors is expected to announce an updated estimated value of CCPT IIs shares of common stock within 18 months after July 27, 2011.
Distributions and Redemptions
From June 2005 through February 2010, CCPT I paid a 7.00% annualized distribution rate based upon a purchase price of $10.00 per share. However, beginning in March 2010, CCPT I reduced its annualized distribution rate to 5.00% based on a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or 6.29% based on the most recent estimated value of $7.95 per share. The principal reasons for the lower distribution rate were the approximately $50 million of fixed rate debt that was to mature by year-end 2010 and the prevailing credit markets, which dictated higher interest rates upon refinancing and amortization provisions, requiring CCPT I to pay down a portion of the principal on a monthly basis over the life of the loan. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT I had paid approximately $43.8 million in cumulative distributions since inception. The distributions were fully funded by net cash provided by operating activities.
Pursuant to CCPT Is share redemption program, the company may use up to 1% of its annual cash flow, including operating cash flow not intended for distributions, borrowings, and capital transactions such as sales or refinancings, to satisfy redemption requests. Accordingly, CCPT Is board of directors must determine at the beginning of each fiscal year the maximum amount of shares that CCPT I may redeem during that year. CCPT Is board of directors determined that there was an insufficient amount of cash available for redemptions during the years ending December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. CCPT I continues to accept redemption requests which are considered for redemption if and when sufficient cash is available to fund redemptions. Requests relating to approximately 284,000 shares remained unfulfilled as of December 31, 2011.
From October 2005 through February 2006, CCPT II paid a 6.00% annualized distribution rate based upon a purchase price of $10.00 per share; from March 2006 through June 2006, CCPT II paid a 6.25% annualized distribution rate based upon a purchase price of $10 per share; from July 2006 through June 2007, CCPT II paid a 6.50% annualized distribution rate based upon a purchase price of $10.00 per share; from July 2007 through June
130
2009, CCPT II paid a 7.00% annualized distribution rate based upon a purchase price of $10.00 per share; and from July 2009 through the date of this prospectus, CCPT II paid a 6.25% annualized distribution rate based upon a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or a 6.68% annualized distribution rate based on the most recent estimate of the value of $9.35 per share. The principal reason for the reduction of the distribution rate was the drop in the occupancy rate of the CCPT II portfolio from 99% on December 31, 2008, to 95% at September 30, 2009, resulting in lower revenue. CCPT IIs occupancy rate as of December 31, 2011 was 96%.
As of December 31, 2011, CCPT II had paid approximately $536.0 million in cumulative distributions since inception. These distributions were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $484.6 million, offering proceeds of approximately $9.7 million, net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of approximately $21.5 million, net proceeds from the sale of CCPT IIs interest in a joint venture of approximately $5.2 million, return of capital from unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $3.9 million, and net borrowings of approximately $11.1 million. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT II had expensed approximately $9.7 million in cumulative real estate acquisition expenses, which reduced operating cash flows. CCPT II treats its real estate acquisition expenses as funded by offering proceeds. Therefore, for consistency, real estate acquisition expenses are treated in the same manner in describing the sources of distributions, to the extent that distributions paid exceed net cash provided by operating activities.
Pursuant to CCPT IIs share redemption program in effect during 2009, redemptions were limited to 3% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year, other than for redemptions requested upon the death of a stockholder. During 2009, CCPT II funded redemptions up to this limit. On November 10, 2009, CCPT IIs board of directors voted to temporarily suspend CCPT IIs share redemption program other than for requests made upon the death of a stockholder, which it continued to accept. The board considered many factors in making this decision, including the expected announcement of an estimated value of CCPT IIs common stock in June 2010 and continued uncertainty in the economic environment and credit markets. On June 22, 2010, CCPT IIs board of directors reinstated the share redemption program, with certain amendments, effective August 1, 2010. Under the terms of the revised share redemption program, during any calendar year, CCPT II will redeem shares on a quarterly basis, up to one-fourth of 3% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year (including shares requested for redemption upon the death of a stockholder). In addition, funding for redemptions for each quarter will be limited to the net proceeds received from the sale of shares, in the respective quarter, under CCPT IIs distribution reinvestment plan. These limits might prevent CCPT II from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any twelve month period. During the year ended December 31, 2011, CCPT II received valid redemption requests pursuant to the share redemption program, as amended, relating to approximately 20.4 million shares, including those requests unfulfilled and resubmitted from a previous period, and requests relating to approximately 6.2 million shares were redeemed on a pro rata basis for $55.2 million at an average price of $8.90 per share, of which approximately 1.6 million shares were redeemed subsequent to December 31, 2011. The remaining redemption requests relating to approximately 14.2 million shares went unfulfilled including those requests unfulfilled and resubmitted from a previous period. Requests for redemption that are not fulfilled in a period may be resubmitted by stockholders in a subsequent period. Unfulfilled requests for redemption are not carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of the share redemption program, as amended.
CCPT IIIs board of directors began declaring distributions in January 2009, after the company commenced business operations. CCPT III paid a 6.50% annualized distribution rate based upon a $10.00 per share purchase price for the period commencing on January 6, 2009 through March 31, 2009. During the period commencing on April 1, 2009 and ending on March 31, 2010, CCPT III paid a 6.75% annualized distribution rate based upon a $10.00 per share purchase price. CCPT III paid a 7.00% annualized distribution rate based upon a $10.00 per share purchase price for the period commencing on April 1, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010. CCPT III paid a 6.50% annualized distribution rate to stockholders of record during the period commencing January 1, 2011 through the date of this prospectus. The principal reason for the reduction of the distribution rate was to align more closely the distribution rate with CCPT IIIs present operating income.
131
As of December 31, 2011, CCPT III had paid approximately $329.3 million in cumulative distributions since inception. These distributions were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $181.5 million, offering proceeds of approximately $136.7 million, return of capital from unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $1.1 million, and net borrowings of approximately $10.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT III had expensed approximately $136.7 million in cumulative real estate acquisition expenses which reduced operating cash flows. CCPT III treats its real estate acquisition expenses as funded by offering proceeds. Therefore, for consistency, real estate acquisition expenses are treated in the same manner in describing the sources of distributions, to the extent that distributions paid exceed net cash provided by operating activities.
Additionally, one of the five privately offered limited partnerships, Cole Santa Fe Investors, LP, suspended distributions to investors due to a tenant bankruptcy beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2003. On November 30, 2007, the property was sold for approximately $28.5 million, which resulted in a return to investors of 100% of their original investment plus a return of approximately 13.7% per year.
Another privately offered program, Cole Southwest Opportunity Fund, LP, was unable to lease its developed data center facility as a result of the severe downturn in the telecommunications industry. The Phoenix facility was sold for $16.3 million in January 2004, which along with the previous sale of vacant land parcels in Las Vegas, Nevada formerly owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cole Southwest Opportunity Fund, LP, resulted in a return to investors of approximately 83% of their original investment upon liquidation of the limited partnership.

We were formed under the laws of the state of Maryland. The rights of our stockholders are governed by Maryland law as well as our charter and bylaws. The following is a summary of the material terms of our common stock as set forth in our charter and bylaws, and is qualified by reference to our charter and bylaws. Our charter and bylaws are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 3.4 and 3.5, respectively, to our registration statement on Form S-11 and can be accessed over the Internet at the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, copies of our charter and bylaws are available at no cost upon request. See the Where You Can Find More Information section of this prospectus.
Our charter authorizes us to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of stock, of which 490,000,000 shares are designated as common stock at $0.01 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock at $0.01 par value per share. As of October 3, 2012, 16,094,532 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Our board of directors may amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of our authorized shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have authority to issue without any action by our stockholders.
Our charter also contains a provision permitting our board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of any new class or series of stock, subject to certain restrictions, including the express terms of any class or series of stock outstanding at the time. We believe that the power to classify or reclassify unissued shares of stock and thereafter issue the classified or reclassified shares provides us with increased flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other needs that might arise.
Our charter and bylaws contain certain provisions that could make it more difficult to acquire control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that these provisions increase the likelihood that proposals initially will be on more attractive terms than would be the case in their absence and facilitate negotiations that may result in improvement of the terms of an initial offer that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. See the Risk Factors Risks Related to an Investment in Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. section of this prospectus.
To the extent that our board of directors determines that the Maryland General Corporation Law conflicts with the provisions set forth in the NASAA REIT Guidelines, the NASAA REIT Guidelines will control, unless the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law are mandatory under Maryland law.
Common Stock
Subject to any preferential rights of any other class or series of stock and to the provisions of our charter regarding the restriction on the transfer of common stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to such distributions as may be authorized from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds and declared by us and, upon any liquidity event, would be entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to our stockholders. Upon issuance for full payment in accordance with the terms of this offering, all common stock issued in the offering will be fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of common stock will not have preemptive rights, which means that they will not have an automatic option to purchase any new shares that we issue, or preference, conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption or appraisal rights. Shares of our common stock have equal distribution, liquidation and other rights.
133
Preferred Stock
Our charter authorizes our board of directors to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without stockholder approval (provided that the issuance of preferred stock must also be approved by a majority of independent directors not otherwise interested in the transaction) and to fix the voting rights, liquidation preferences, distribution rates, conversion rights, redemption rights and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and certain other rights and preferences with respect to such preferred stock; provided, however, that the voting rights of any such preferred stock offered and sold in a private offering shall not exceed voting rights which bear the same relationship to the voting rights of our common stock as the consideration paid to us per share in such private offering bears to the book value of each outstanding share of our common stock. Because our board of directors has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of preferred stock, it may afford the holders of any series or class of preferred stock preferences, powers, and rights senior to the rights of holders of common stock; subject to the limitation on voting rights noted in the preceding sentence. If we were to create and issue preferred stock with a distribution preference over common stock, payment of any distribution preferences of outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions on the common stock. Further, holders of preferred stock are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event we liquidate, dissolve, or wind up before any payment is made to the common stockholders, likely reducing the amount common stockholders would otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may delay, prevent, render more difficult or tend to discourage the following:
| a merger, offer, or proxy contest; |
| the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities; or |
| the removal of incumbent management. |
Also, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock.
We currently have no preferred stock issued or outstanding. Our board of directors has no present plans to issue shares of preferred stock, but it may do so at any time in the future without stockholder approval.
Meetings and Special Voting Requirements
Subject to our charter restrictions on transfer of our stock and except as may otherwise be specified in the terms of any class or series of common stock, each holder of common stock is entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote per share owned by such stockholder on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our board of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of shares of our outstanding common stock can elect all of the directors then standing for election and the holders of the remaining shares of common stock will not be able to elect any directors.
Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Our charter provides for approval of these matters by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast.
However, under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, the following events do not require stockholder approval:
| stock exchanges in which we are the successor; and |
| transfers of less than substantially all of our assets. |
134
Also, because our operating assets are held by our subsidiaries, these subsidiaries may be able to merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets without the approval of our stockholders.
An annual meeting of our stockholders will be held each year, at least 30 days after delivery of our annual report to our stockholders. Our directors, including our independent directors, are required to take reasonable steps to ensure this requirement is met. Special meetings of stockholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of our directors, a majority of our independent directors, our president, our chief executive officer or by an officer upon the written request of stockholders holding at least 10% of our outstanding shares. Within ten days of receiving a written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast requesting a special meeting and stating the purpose of such special meeting, our sponsor will provide all of our stockholders written notice of the meeting and the purpose of such meeting. The meeting must be held not less than 15 nor more than 60 days after the distribution of the notice of meeting at the time and place specified in the request, or, if a time and place are not specified in the request, at a time and place convenient to our stockholders. The presence, either in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting on any matter will constitute a quorum.
Our stockholders are entitled to receive a copy of our stockholder list upon request. The list provided by us will include each stockholders name, address and telephone number, and the number of shares owned by each stockholder, and will be sent within ten days of the receipt by us of the request. A stockholder requesting a list will be required to pay reasonable costs of postage and duplication. Stockholders and their representatives will also be given access to our corporate records at reasonable times. We have the right to request that a requesting stockholder represent to us in writing that the list and records will not be used to pursue commercial interests before we become obligated to provide a copy of our stockholder list.
The corporation will continue perpetually unless dissolved pursuant to any applicable provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
Formation Transaction
In connection with our formation, Cole Holdings Corporation invested $200,000 in exchange for 20,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to our charter, Cole Holdings Corporation may not sell its initial investment in us while Cole Real Estate Investments remains our sponsor, but it may transfer its initial investment to its affiliates.
Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer
In order for us to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must meet the following criteria regarding our stockholders ownership of our shares:
| five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain tax exempt organizations and trusts) may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares during the last half of a taxable year; and |
| 100 or more persons must beneficially own our shares during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. |
See the Federal Income Tax Considerations section of this prospectus for further discussion of this topic. We may prohibit certain acquisitions and transfers of shares so as to ensure our initial and continued qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. However, there can be no assurance that this prohibition will be effective. Because we believe it is essential for us to qualify as a REIT, and, once qualified, to continue to qualify, among other reasons, our charter provides (subject to certain exceptions) that no stockholder may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding shares or more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is
135
more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding shares of common stock. Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may waive this ownership limit if evidence satisfactory to our directors is presented that such ownership will not then or in the future jeopardize our status as a REIT. Also, these restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our directors determine that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Additionally, our charter further prohibits the transfer or issuance of our stock if such transfer or issuance:
| with respect to transfers only, results in our common stock being owned by fewer than 100 persons; |
| results in our being closely held within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code; |
| results in our owning, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the ownership interests in any tenant or subtenant; or |
| otherwise results in our disqualification as a REIT. |
Any attempted transfer of our stock which, if effective, would result in our stock being owned by fewer than 100 persons will be null and void. In the event of any attempted transfer of our stock which, if effective, would result in (i) violation of the ownership limit discussed above, (ii) our being closely held under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, (iii) our owning (directly or indirectly) more than 9.8% of the ownership interests in any tenant or subtenant or (iv) our otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT, then the number of shares causing the violation (rounded to the nearest whole share) will be automatically transferred to a trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more charitable beneficiaries, and the proposed transferee will not acquire any rights in the shares. To avoid confusion, these shares so transferred to a beneficial trust are referred to in this prospectus as Excess Securities. Excess Securities will remain issued and outstanding shares and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges as all other shares of the same class or series. The trustee of the beneficial trust, as holder of the Excess Securities, will be entitled to receive all distributions authorized by our board of directors on such securities for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. Our charter further entitles the trustee of the beneficial trust to vote all Excess Securities.
Within 20 days of receiving notice from us that the Excess Securities have been transferred to the beneficial trust, the trustee of the beneficial trust shall sell the Excess Securities. The trustee of the beneficial trust may select a transferee to whom the Excess Securities may be sold as long as such sale does not violate the 9.8% ownership limit or the other restrictions on transfer. Upon sale of the Excess Securities, the intended transferee (the transferee of the Excess Securities whose ownership would violate the 9.8% ownership limit or the other restrictions on transfer) will receive from the trustee of the beneficial trust the lesser of such sale proceeds (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale), or the price per share the intended transferee paid for the Excess Securities (or, in the case of a gift or devise to the intended transferee, the price per share equal to the market value per share on the date of the transfer to the intended transferee). The trustee of the beneficial trust will distribute to the charitable beneficiary any amount the trustee receives in excess of the amount to be paid to the intended transferee.
In addition, we have the right to purchase any Excess Securities at the lesser of (i) the price per share paid in the transfer that created the Excess Securities, or (ii) the current market price, until the Excess Securities are sold by the trustee of the beneficial trust. We may reduce the amount payable to the intended transferee upon such sale by the amount of any distribution we pay to an intended transferee on Excess Securities prior to our discovery that such Excess Securities have been transferred in violation of the provisions of the charter. If any legal decision, statute, rule, or regulation deems or declares the transfer restrictions included in our charter to be void or invalid, then we may, at our option, deem the intended transferee of any Excess Securities to have acted as an agent on our behalf in acquiring such Excess Securities and to hold such Excess Securities on our behalf.
Any person who (i) acquires or attempts to acquire shares in violation of the foregoing ownership restriction, transfers or receives shares subject to such limitations, or would have owned shares that resulted in a transfer to a charitable trust, or (ii) proposes or attempts any of the transactions in clause (i), is required to give us
136
15 days written notice prior to such transaction. In both cases, such persons must provide to us such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions will continue to apply until our board of directors determines it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT.
The ownership restriction does not apply to the underwriter in a public offering of shares or to a person or persons so exempted from the ownership limit by our board of directors based upon appropriate assurances that our qualification as a REIT is not jeopardized. Any person who owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares during any taxable year will be asked to deliver a statement or affidavit setting forth the number of shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly.
Stockholders wishing to transfer shares of our stock may request an application for transfer by contacting us. See the section of this prospectus captioned Where You Can Find More Information. With respect to transfers of uncertificated stock, we will continue to treat the stockholder registered on our stock ledger as the owner of the shares until the record owner and the new owner deliver a properly executed application for transfer to our transfer agent at the address set forth in the application for transfer. Any questions regarding the transferability of shares should be directed to our transfer agent, whose contact information is set forth on page 6 of this prospectus and in the application for transfer.
Distribution Policy and Distributions
We currently pay regular monthly distributions to our stockholders and we intend to continue to pay monthly distributions to our stockholders. We anticipate that our board of directors will declare distributions to stockholders as of daily record dates with distributions aggregated and paid monthly in arrears. Therefore, new investors will be entitled to distributions immediately upon the purchase of their shares. Because substantially all of our operations will be performed indirectly through CCPT IV OP, our operating partnership, our ability to pay distributions depends in large part on CCPT IV OPs ability to pay distributions to us. In the event we do not have enough cash flow from operations to fund distributions, we have paid, and may continue to pay, distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including borrowings and proceeds from the sale of our securities or asset sales, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such other sources. We expect that, from time to time, we will pay distributions in excess of our cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. As a result, the amount of distributions paid at any time may not be an indicator of the current performance of our properties or current operating cash flows. If you are a Maryland investor, you will receive from us on a quarterly basis a notice that discloses the sources of our distribution payments in both dollar and percentage amounts, consistent with similar disclosure that will be included in the prospectus and updated quarterly.
Distributions to stockholders are characterized for federal income tax purposes as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital or a combination of the three. Distributions that exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits typically constitute a return of capital for tax purposes and reduce the stockholders basis in our common shares. We will annually notify stockholders of the taxability of distributions paid during the preceding year.
Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 366 days in the calendar year, of $0.001707848 per share for stockholders of record as of each day of the period commencing on April 14, 2012, the first day following the release from escrow of the subscription proceeds received in our offering, and ending on December 31, 2012.
As of June 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, we have declared approximately $259,000 of distributions and we have paid approximately $84,000, of which approximately $40,000 was paid in cash and approximately $44,000 was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss was $2.2 million as of June 30, 2012, cumulative since inception.

As of June 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.4 million, reflects a reduction for real estate acquisition fees and related costs incurred and expensed of approximately $1.9 million, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. As set forth in the Estimated Use of Proceeds section, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by the proceeds from the offering of our shares. Therefore, for consistency, real estate acquisition related expenses are treated in the same manner (i.e., as funded by the proceeds of the offering of our shares) in describing the sources of distributions above, to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. The payment of distributions from sources other than cash provided by operating activities may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds, and may cause subsequent investors to experience dilution.
Although we intend to continue to pay regular monthly distributions, our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors may inhibit us from doing so. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors, and are based on many factors, including current and expected cash flow from operations, as well as the obligation that we comply with the REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The funds we receive from operations that are available for distribution may be affected by a number of factors, including the following:
| the amount of time required for us to invest the funds received in the offering; |
| our operating and interest expenses, including fees and expenses paid to our advisor; |
| the ability of tenants to meet their obligations under the leases associated with our properties; |
| the amount of distributions or dividends received by us from our indirect real estate investments; |
| our ability to keep our properties occupied; |
| our ability to maintain or increase rental rates when renewing or replacing current leases; |
| capital expenditures and reserves for such expenditures; |
| the issuance of additional shares; |
| the amount of cash used to repurchase shares under our share redemption program; and |
| financings and refinancings. |
We must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income each year in order to meet the requirements for being treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This requirement is described in greater detail in the Federal Income Tax Considerations Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Operational Requirements Annual Distribution Requirement section of this prospectus. Our directors may authorize distributions in excess of this percentage as they deem appropriate. Because we may receive income from interest or rents at various times during our fiscal year, distributions may not reflect our income earned in
138
that particular distribution period, but may be made in anticipation of operating cash flows that we expect to receive during a later period and may be made in advance of actual receipt of funds in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. To allow for such differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses, and the effect of required debt payments, among other things, could require us to borrow funds from third parties on a short-term basis, issue new securities, including through this offering, or sell assets to meet the distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. These methods of obtaining funding could affect future distributions by increasing operating costs and decreasing available cash. In addition, such distributions may constitute a return of capital. See the Federal Income Tax Considerations Requirements for Qualification as a REIT section of this prospectus.
Distributions in Kind
Distributions in kind shall not be permitted, except for distributions of readily marketable securities or our securities, distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for our dissolution and the liquidation of our assets in accordance with the terms of our charter or distributions in which (a) our board of directors advises each stockholder of the risks associated with direct ownership of the property, (b) our board of directors offers each stockholder the election of receiving such in-kind distributions, and (c) in-kind distributions are made only to those stockholders that accept such offer.
Stockholder Liability
The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that our stockholders:
| are not liable personally or individually in any manner whatsoever for any debt, act, omission or obligation incurred by us or our board of directors; and |
| are under no obligation to us or our creditors with respect to their shares other than the obligation to pay to us the full amount of the consideration for which their shares were issued. |
Business Combinations
Under Maryland law, business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined as:
| any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of the corporations shares; or |
| an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation. |
A person is not an interested stockholder under the statute if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which he otherwise would have become an interested stockholder. However, in approving a transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.
After the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:
| 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and |
139
| two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder. |
These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporations stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares.
The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by the board of directors before the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the statute, our board of directors has exempted any business combination with our advisor or any of its affiliates. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super-majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and our advisor or any of its affiliates. As a result, our advisor or any of its affiliates may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders, without compliance with the super-majority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute.
The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.
Control Share Acquisitions
With some exceptions, Maryland law provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of stockholders holding two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding control shares:
| owned by the acquiring person; |
| owned by our officers; and |
| owned by our employees who are also directors. |
Control shares mean voting shares which, if aggregated with all other voting shares owned by an acquiring person or shares for which the acquiring person can exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle the acquiring person to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
| one-tenth or more but less than one-third; |
| one-third or more but less than a majority; or |
| a majority or more of all voting power. |
Control shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A control share acquisition occurs when, subject to some exceptions, a person directly or indirectly acquires ownership or the power to direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy) of issued and outstanding control shares. A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon satisfaction of some specific conditions, including an undertaking to pay expenses, may compel our board of directors to call a special meeting of our stockholders to be held within 50 days of a demand to consider the voting rights of the control shares. If no request for a meeting is made, we may present the question at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then, subject to some conditions and limitations, we may redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights have been previously approved) for fair value
140
determined, without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition by the acquiror or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control share acquisition. The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation, or share exchange if we are a party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by our charter or bylaws.
As permitted by Maryland General Corporation Law, our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions of our stock by Cole Capital Advisors or any affiliate of Cole Capital Advisors.
Subtitle 8
Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in the charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions:
| a classified board of directors; |
| a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director; |
| a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors; |
| a requirement that a vacancy on the board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and |
| a majority requirement for the calling of a special meeting of stockholders. |
Pursuant to Subtitle 8, except as may be provided by our board of directors in setting the terms of any class or series of our preferred stock, we have elected to provide that vacancies on our board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred. Through provisions in our charter and bylaws unrelated to Subtitle 8, we already vest in the board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships. We have not elected to be subject to any of the other provisions of Subtitle 8.
Tender Offers by Stockholders
Our charter provides that any tender offer, including any mini-tender offer, must comply with Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, including the notice and disclosure requirements. The offering person must provide our company notice of such tender offer at least ten business days before initiating the tender offer. If the offering person does not comply with the provisions set forth above, our company will have the right to redeem that persons shares and any shares acquired in such tender offer. In addition, the non-complying person will be responsible for all of our companys expenses in connection with that persons noncompliance.
Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business
Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to the board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (3) by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving advance notice of such nominations or proposals of business and at the time of such annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has
141
complied with the advance notice procedures of the bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors at a special meeting may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors, or (3) provided that our board of directors has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving advance notice of such nominations and at the time of such special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of the bylaws.
Share Redemption Program
Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that enables you to sell your shares to us in limited circumstances. Our share redemption program permits you to sell your shares back to us after you have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below.
Our common stock currently is not listed on a national securities exchange and we will not seek to list our stock unless and until such time as our independent directors believe that the listing of our stock would be in the best interests of our stockholders. In order to provide stockholders with the benefit of interim liquidity, stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year may present all, or a portion consisting of at least the lesser of (1) 25% of the holders shares; or (2) a number of shares with an aggregate redemption price of $2,500, in accordance with the procedures outlined below. At that time, we may, subject to the conditions and limitations described below, redeem the shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent that we have sufficient funds available to us to fund such redemption. We will not pay to our sponsor, board of directors, advisor or its affiliates any fees to complete any transactions under our share redemption program.
During the term of this offering, and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares, the redemption price per share (other than for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) will depend on the price you paid for your shares and the length of time you have held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date, 95% of the amount you paid for each share; after two years from the purchase date, 97.5% of the amount you paid for each share; and after three years from the purchase date, 100% of the amount you paid for each share. During this time period, the redemption price for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will be the amount you paid for such shares. (In each case, the redemption price will be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock). Accordingly, the redemption price will reflect a stockholders reduced purchase price if such stockholder received discounted or waived selling commissions and/or a waived dealer manager fee. At any time we are engaged in an offering of shares, the per share price for shares purchased under our redemption program will always be equal to or lower than the applicable per share offering price.
After such time as our board of directors has determined a reasonable estimated value of our shares, the per share redemption price (other than for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) will depend on the length of time you have held such shares as follows: after one year from the purchase date, 95% of the Estimated Share Value (defined below); after two years from the purchase date, 97.5% of the Estimated Share Value; and after three years from the purchase date, 100% of the Estimated Share Value. During this time period, the redemption price for shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will be 100% of the Estimated Share Value. (In each case, the redemption price will be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock). For purposes of establishing the redemption price per share, Estimated Share Value shall mean the most recently disclosed reasonable estimated value of our shares of common stock as determined by our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors.
In determining the redemption price, we consider shares to have been redeemed from a stockholders account on a first in, first out basis. Our board of directors will announce any redemption price adjustment and
142
the time period of its effectiveness as a part of its regular communications with our stockholders. If we have sold property and have made one or more special distributions to our stockholders of all or a portion of the net proceeds from such sales subsequent to the establishment of the Estimated Share Value, the per share redemption price will be reduced by the net sale proceeds per share distributed to investors prior to the redemption date. Our board of directors will, in its sole discretion, determine which distributions, if any, constitute a special distribution. While our board of directors does not have specific criteria for determining a special distribution, we expect that a special distribution will only occur upon the sale of a property and the subsequent distribution of the net sale proceeds. In no event will the Estimated Share Value established for purposes of our share redemption program exceed the then-current estimated share value established for purposes of our distribution reinvestment plan.
Upon receipt of a request for redemption, we may conduct a Uniform Commercial Code search to ensure that no liens are held against the shares. We will not redeem any shares subject to a lien. Any costs in conducting the Uniform Commercial Code search will be borne by us.
We may waive the one-year holding period requirement upon request due to a stockholders death or bankruptcy or other exigent circumstances as determined by our advisor. In the event of the death of a stockholder, we must receive notice from the stockholders estate within 270 days after the stockholders death. In addition, in the event that you redeem all of your shares, any shares that you purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will be excluded from the one-year holding requirement. Also, for purposes of the one-year-holding period, limited partners of our operating partnership who exchanged their limited partnership units for shares of our common stock will be deemed to have owned their shares as of the date the operating partnership units were issued. Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholders death, during the term of this offering and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimated value of our shares, will be redeemed at a purchase price equal to 100% of the amount actually paid for the shares. Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholders death, after such time as our board of directors has determined a reasonable estimated value of our shares, will be redeemed at a purchase price per share equal to 100% of the Estimated Share Value. Shares redeemed in connection with a stockholders bankruptcy or other exigent circumstance within one year from the purchase date will be redeemed at a price per share equal to the price per share we would pay had the stockholder held the shares for one year from the purchase date.
In the event that you request a redemption of all of your shares, and you are participating in our distribution reinvestment plan, you will be deemed to have notified us, at the time you submit your redemption request, that you are terminating your participation in our distribution reinvestment plan, and have elected to receive future distributions in cash. This election will continue in effect even if less than all of your shares are redeemed unless you notify us that you wish to resume your participation in our distribution reinvestment plan.
We will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we intend to limit quarterly redemptions to approximately one-fourth of 5% (1.25%) of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter, and funding for redemptions for each quarter generally will be limited to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under our distribution reinvestment plan; however, our management may waive these quarterly limitations in its sole discretion, subject to the 5% cap on the number of shares we may redeem during the respective trailing 12 month period. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any quarter, in which case quarterly redemptions will be made pro rata, except as described below. Our management also reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to reject any request for redemption for any reason.

We will redeem our shares no later than the end of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter. Requests for redemption must be received on or prior to the end of the fiscal quarter in order for us to repurchase the shares in the month following the end of that fiscal quarter. You may withdraw your request to have your shares redeemed, but all such requests generally must be submitted prior to the last business day of the applicable fiscal quarter. Any redemption capacity that is not used as a result of the withdrawal or rejection of redemption requests may be used to satisfy the redemption requests of other stockholders received for that fiscal quarter, and such redemption payments may be made at a later time than when that quarters redemption payments are made.
We will determine whether we have sufficient funds and/or shares available as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter, but in any event prior to the applicable payment date. If we cannot purchase all shares presented for redemption in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available and/or the limit on the number of shares we may redeem during any quarter or year, we will give priority to the redemption of deceased stockholders shares. (While deceased stockholders shares will be included in calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed in any annual or quarterly period, they will not be subject to the annual or quarterly percentage caps; therefore, if the volume of requests to redeem deceased stockholders shares in a particular quarter were large enough to cause the annual or quarterly percentage caps to be exceeded, even if no other redemption requests were processed, the redemptions of deceased stockholders shares would be completed in full, assuming sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan were available. If sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan were not available to pay all such redemptions in full, the requests to redeem deceased stockholders shares would be honored on a pro rata basis.) We next will give priority to requests for full redemption of accounts with a balance of 250 shares or less at the time we receive the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, we will honor the remaining redemption requests on a pro rata basis. Following such quarterly redemption period, if you would like to resubmit the unsatisfied portion of the prior request for redemption, you must submit a new request for redemption of such shares prior to the last day of the new quarter. Unfulfilled requests for redemption will not be carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods.
Our board of directors may choose to amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program at any time upon 30 days notice. Additionally, we will be required to discontinue sales of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan on the earlier of January 26, 2014, which is two years from the effective date of this offering, unless the distribution reinvestment plan offering is extended, or the date we sell all of the shares registered for sale under the distribution reinvestment plan, unless we file a new registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable states. Because the redemption of shares will be funded with the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under the distribution reinvestment plan, the discontinuance or termination of the distribution reinvestment plan will adversely affect our ability to redeem shares under the share redemption program. We will notify our stockholders of such developments (i) in our next annual or quarterly report or (ii) by means of a separate mailing to you, accompanied by disclosure in a current or periodic report under the Exchange Act. During this offering, we would also include this information in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement, as then required under federal securities laws.
Our share redemption program is only intended to provide limited liquidity to our stockholders until a liquidity event occurs, which may include the sale of our company, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or similar transaction, an alternative strategy that will result in a significant increase in opportunities for stockholders to redeem their shares or the listing of the shares of common stock for trading on a national securities exchange. The share redemption program will be terminated if the shares become listed on a national securities exchange. We cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.
The shares we redeem under our share redemption program will be cancelled and will return to the status of authorized but unissued shares. We do not intend to resell such shares to the public unless they are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or otherwise sold in compliance with such laws.
144
We will disclose, when available and applicable, the number of shares of common stock that we redeemed during the prior year ended, the aggregate redemption price for those shares, whether any redemption requests went unfulfilled and the source of the cash used to fund the redemptions. As of June 30, 2012, we have not received any redemption requests relating to our shares.
Restrictions on Roll-up Transactions
A Roll-up Transaction is a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation, directly or indirectly, of us and the issuance of securities of an entity (Roll-up Entity) that is created or would survive after the successful completion of a Roll-up Transaction. This term does not include:
| a transaction involving our securities that have been listed on a national securities exchange for at least 12 months; or |
| a transaction involving our conversion to trust or association form if, as a consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in stockholder voting rights, the term of our existence, compensation to our advisor or our investment objectives. |
In connection with any Roll-up Transaction involving the issuance of securities of a Roll-up Entity, an appraisal of all of our assets will be obtained from a competent independent appraiser. Our assets will be appraised on a consistent basis, and the appraisal will be based on the evaluation of all relevant information and will indicate the value of the assets as of a date immediately prior to the announcement of the proposed Roll-up Transaction. The appraisal will assume an orderly liquidation of assets over a 12-month period. The terms of the engagement of the independent appraiser will clearly state that the engagement is for the benefit of us and our stockholders. A summary of the appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the appraisal, will be included in a report to our stockholders in connection with any proposed Roll-up Transaction. If the appraisal is to be included in a prospectus used to offer the securities of a Roll-up Entity, the appraisal will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the states as an exhibit to the registration statement for that offering. Accordingly, we would be subject to liability for violation of Section 11 of the Securities Act and comparable provisions under state laws for any material misrepresentations or material omissions in any such filed appraisal.
In connection with a proposed Roll-up Transaction, the sponsor of the Roll-up Transaction must offer to stockholders who vote no on the proposal the choice of:
(1) accepting the securities of the Roll-up Entity offered in the proposed Roll-up Transaction; or
(2) one of the following:
(a) remaining as holders of our common stock and preserving their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed previously, or
(b) receiving cash in an amount equal to the stockholders pro rata share of the appraised value of our net assets.
We are prohibited from participating in any Roll-up Transaction:
| that includes provisions that would materially impede or frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the Roll-up Entity, except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the Roll-up Entity, or which would limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the Roll-up Entity on the basis of the number of shares held by that investor; |
| that results in our stockholders having an adverse change in their voting rights; |
| in which our investors rights to access records of the Roll-up Entity will be less than those provided in the section of this prospectus entitled Meetings and Special Voting Requirements above; or |
| in which any of the costs of the Roll-up Transaction would be borne by us if the Roll-up Transaction is rejected by the stockholders. |
145
Valuation Policy
The offering price for our shares is not based on the expected book value or expected net asset value of our proposed investments, or our expected operating cash flows. Although our board of directors may do so at any time in its discretion, we do not expect that our board of directors will undertake a process for estimating the per share value of our common stock during the period of this offering or for the 18-month period following the termination of this offering. Furthermore, if we engage in a follow-on offering, we do not expect that our board of directors will undertake a process for estimating the per share value of our common stock during the period of the follow-on offering or for the 18-month period following the termination of such follow-on offering. However, during such periods, solely to assist fiduciaries of certain tax-exempt plans subject to annual reporting requirements of ERISA who identify themselves to us and who request per share value information, we intend to use the most recent gross per share offering price of our shares of common stock as the per share value (unless we have made a special distribution to stockholders of net sales proceeds from the sale of one or more properties during such periods, in which case we will use the most recent gross offering price less the per share amount of the special distribution).
Estimates based solely on the most recent offering price of our shares will be subject to numerous limitations. For example, such estimates will not take into account:
| individual or aggregate values of our assets; |
| real estate market fluctuations affecting our assets generally; |
| adverse or beneficial developments with respect to one or more assets in our portfolio; |
| our costs of the offering; or |
| our costs of acquiring assets. |
No later than 18 months after the last sale in an offering as set forth above, we will disclose an estimated per share value that is not based solely on the offering price of our shares. This estimate will be determined by our board of directors, or a committee thereof, which in either case will include a majority of our independent directors, after consultation with our advisor, CR IV Advisors, or if we are no longer advised by CR IV Advisors, any successor advisor or our officers and employees, subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in this valuation policy. We intend to publish our board of directors estimate of the reasonable value of our shares within 18 months after an offering, at a time to be determined by our board of directors.
Our board of directors or a committee thereof will have the discretion to choose a methodology or combination of methodologies as it deems reasonable under then current circumstances for estimating the per share value of our common stock. The estimated value will not necessary be equivalent to our net asset value, and is not intended to be related to any values at which individual assets may be carried on financial statements under applicable accounting standards. The methodologies for determining the estimated values under the valuation policy may take into account numerous factors including, without limitation, the following:
| net amounts that might be realized in a sale of our assets in an orderly liquidation; |
| net amounts that might be realized in a bulk portfolio sale of our assets; |
| separate valuations of our assets (including any impairments); |
| our going concern value; |
| private real estate market conditions; |
| public real estate market conditions; |
| our business plan and characteristics and factors specific to our portfolio or securities; |
| the prices at which our securities were sold in other offerings, such as a distribution reinvestment plan offering; |
146
| the prices paid for our securities in other transactions, including secondary market trades; and |
| the relative prices paid for comparable companies listed on a national securities exchange. |
Our board of directors may rely on an independent third-party valuation expert to assist in estimating the value of our assets or our shares of common stock. However, with respect to asset valuations, our board of directors will not be required to obtain asset-by-asset appraisals prepared by certified independent appraisers, nor must any appraisals conform to formats or standards promulgated by any such trade organization. We will disclose the effective date of the estimated valuation and a summary of the methodology by which the estimated value was developed. We do not intend to release individual property value estimates or any of the data supporting the estimated per share value.
After first publishing our board of directors estimate of the per share value of our common stock, our board of directors will repeat the process of estimating the per value of our common stock periodically thereafter. However, our board of directors may suspend the publication of such estimates during any follow-on offering of our common stock and for a period of 18 months thereafter.
The reasonable estimate of the value of our shares will be subject to numerous limitations. Such valuations will be estimates only and may be based upon a number of estimates, assumptions, judgments and opinions that may not be, or may later prove not to be, accurate or complete, which could make the estimated valuations incorrect. As a result, with respect to any estimate of the value of our common stock made pursuant to our valuation policy, there can be no assurance that:
| the estimated value per share would actually be realized by our stockholders upon liquidation, bulk portfolio sales of our assets, sale of our company or listing of the common stock on an exchange; |
| any stockholder would be able to realize estimated share values in any attempt to sell shares; |
| the estimated value per share would be related to any individual or aggregated value estimates or appraisals of our assets; or |
| the estimated value, or method used to estimate value, would be found by any regulatory authority to comply with the ERISA, FINRA or other regulatory requirements. |
This valuation policy may be amended by our board of directors at any time and, although the policy will express the intent of our board of directors at the time of its adoption, there is no limitation on the ability of our board of directors to cause us to vary from this policy to the extent it deems appropriate, with or without an express amendment of the policy.
Reports We Provide to our Stockholders
Our charter requires that we prepare an annual report and deliver it to our common stockholders within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year. Our directors are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that the annual report complies with our charter provisions. Among the matters that must be included in the annual report or included in a proxy statement delivered with the annual report are:
| financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP that are audited and reported on by independent certified public accountants; |
| the ratio of the costs of raising capital during the year to the capital raised; |
| the aggregate amount of advisory fees and the aggregate amount of other fees paid to our advisor and any affiliates of our advisor by us or third parties doing business with us during the year; |
| our total operating expenses for the year stated as a percentage of our average invested assets and as a percentage of our net income; |
147
| a report from our independent directors that our policies are in the best interests of our stockholders and the basis for such determination; and |
| a separately stated, full disclosure of all material terms, factors and circumstances surrounding any and all transactions involving us and our advisor, a director or any affiliate thereof during the year, which disclosure has been examined and commented upon in the report by our independent directors with regard to the fairness of such transactions. |
148
SUMMARY OF DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan. The distribution reinvestment plan allows you to have distributions otherwise payable to you in cash reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. We are offering 50,000,000 shares for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at an initial price of $9.50 per share. Such price may only be available until the termination of our primary offering, which is anticipated to be on or before January 26, 2014, although our board of directors may extend the primary offering an additional year. Our board of directors has the discretion to extend the offering period for the shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan up to the sixth anniversary of the termination of the primary offering. We may reallocate the shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan. The following is a summary of our distribution reinvestment plan. See Appendix G to this prospectus for the full text of the plan.
Pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan, we generally intend to offer shares for sale at a price of $9.50 per share during the initial public offering of our shares and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares. Thereafter, the purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan will be the most recently disclosed per share value as determined in accordance with the valuation policy. If, at any time prior to the time distributions are reinvested, we have distributed net sale proceeds from the sale of one or more of our assets, or otherwise have paid a special distribution to stockholders, the offering price for shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan will be adjusted to take into account such special distributions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our board of directors may establish a different price for shares sold pursuant to the plan, provided that if the new price so determined varies more than 5% from the pricing that would have resulted from the formula above, we will deliver a notice (which may be given by letter, delivered by electronic means or given by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) regarding the new price to each plan participant at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the new price. For more information about our valuation policy, see Description of Shares Valuation Policy.
Participants in our distribution reinvestment plan who purchased shares of our common stock in the primary offering at a discounted purchase price (due to volume or other applicable discounts) may pay more for the shares they acquire pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan than their original purchase price.
Investment of Distributions
Our distribution reinvestment plan allows our stockholders, and, subject to certain conditions set forth in the plan, any stockholder or partner of any other publicly offered limited partnership, REIT or other Cole-sponsored real estate program, to elect to purchase shares of our common stock with our distributions or distributions from such other programs. We have the discretion to extend the offering period for the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus under our distribution reinvestment plan beyond the termination of this offering until we have sold all of the shares allocated to the plan through the reinvestment of distributions. We may also offer shares pursuant to a new registration statement.
No dealer manager fees or sales commissions will be paid with respect to shares purchased pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan; therefore, we will retain all of the proceeds from the reinvestment of distributions. Accordingly, substantially all the economic benefits resulting from distribution reinvestment purchases by stockholders from the elimination of the dealer manager fee and selling commissions will inure to the benefit of the participant. However, purchasers of shares of our common stock who receive volume or other discounts in the primary offering who elect to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan may pay more for the shares they acquire pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan than their original purchase price.
149
Pursuant to the terms of our distribution reinvestment plan, the reinvestment agent, which currently is us, will act on behalf of participants to reinvest the cash distributions they receive from us. Stockholders participating in the distribution reinvestment plan may purchase fractional shares. If sufficient shares are not available for issuance under our distribution reinvestment plan, the reinvestment agent will remit excess cash distributions to the participants. Participants purchasing shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will have the same rights as stockholders with respect to shares purchased under the plan and will be treated in the same manner as if such shares were issued pursuant to our offering.
After the termination of the offering of our shares registered for sale pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan under this prospectus and any subsequent offering, we may determine to allow participants to reinvest cash distributions from us in shares issued by another Cole-sponsored program only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
| prior to the time of such reinvestment, the participant has received the final prospectus and any supplements thereto offering interests in the subsequent Cole-sponsored program and such prospectus allows investments pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan; |
| a registration statement covering the interests in the subsequent Cole-sponsored program has been declared effective under the Securities Act; |
| the offer and sale of such interests are qualified for sale under applicable state securities laws; |
| the participant executes the subscription agreement included with the prospectus for the subsequent Cole-sponsored program; and |
| the participant qualifies under applicable investor suitability standards as contained in the prospectus for the subsequent Cole-sponsored program. |
Stockholders who invest in subsequent Cole-sponsored programs pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will become investors in such subsequent Cole-sponsored program and, as such, will receive the same reports as other investors in the subsequent Cole-sponsored program. No dealer manager fees or sales commissions will be paid with respect to shares purchased in any subsequent Cole-sponsored programs pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.
Election to Participate or Terminate Participation
A stockholder may participate in our distribution reinvestment plan by making a written election to participate on his or her subscription agreement at the time he or she subscribes for shares. Any stockholder who has not previously elected to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan may so elect at any time by delivering to the reinvestment agent a completed enrollment form or other written authorization required by the reinvestment agent. Participation in our distribution reinvestment plan will commence with the next distribution payable after receipt of the participants notice, provided it is received on or prior to the last day of the distribution period to which such distribution relates.
Some brokers may determine not to offer their clients the opportunity to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan. Any prospective investor who wishes to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan should consult with his or her broker as to the brokers position regarding participation in the distribution reinvestment plan.
We reserve the right to prohibit qualified retirement plans from participating in our distribution reinvestment plan if such participation would cause our underlying assets to constitute plan assets of qualified retirement plans. See the Investment by Tax-Exempt Entities and ERISA Considerations section of this prospectus.
150
Subscribers should note that affirmative action in the form of written notice to the reinvestment agent must be taken to withdraw from participation in our distribution reinvestment plan. A withdrawal from participation in our distribution reinvestment plan will be effective with respect to distributions for a quarterly, monthly or other distribution period, as applicable, only if written notice of termination is received on or prior to the last day of the distribution period to which it relates. In addition, a transfer of shares prior to the date our shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, which we have no intent to do at this time and which may never occur, will terminate participation in the distribution reinvestment plan with respect to such transferred shares as of the first day of the distribution period in which the transfer is effective, unless the transferee demonstrates to the reinvestment agent that the transferee meets the requirements for participation in the plan and affirmatively elects to participate in the plan by providing to the reinvestment agent an executed enrollment form or other written authorization required by the reinvestment agent. Furthermore, in the event that a participant requests a redemption of all of the participants shares, the participant will be deemed to have given written notice to the reinvestment agent, at the time the redemption request is submitted, that the participant is terminating his or her participation in the distribution reinvestment plan, and is electing to receive all future distributions in cash. This election will continue in effect even if less than all of the participants shares are redeemed unless the participant notifies the reinvestment agent that he or she elects to resume participation in the plan.
Offers and sales of shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan must be registered in every state in which such offers and sales are made, or otherwise exempt from such registration requirements. Generally, such registrations are for a period of one year. Thus, we may have to stop selling shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan in any states in which our registration is not renewed or extended.
Reports to Participants
Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, the reinvestment agent will mail to each participant a statement of account describing, as to such participant, the distributions received, the number of shares purchased, the purchase price for such shares, the total shares purchased on behalf of the participant during the prior year pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan and the information regarding the participants participation in the plan.
Excluded Distributions
Our board of directors may designate that certain cash or other distributions attributable to net sales proceeds will be excluded from distributions that may be reinvested in shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. Accordingly, in the event that proceeds attributable to the sale of an asset are distributed to stockholders as an excluded distribution, such amounts may not be reinvested in our shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The determination of whether all or part of a distribution will be deemed to be an excluded distribution is separate and unrelated to our requirement to distribute 90% of our taxable REIT income. In its initial determination of whether to make a distribution and the amount of the distribution, our board of directors will consider, among other factors, our cash position and our distribution requirements as a REIT. Once our board of directors determines to make the distribution, it will then consider whether all or part of the distribution will be deemed to be an excluded distribution. In most instances, we expect that our board of directors would not deem any of the distribution to be an excluded distribution. In that event, the amount distributed to participants in our distribution reinvestment plan will be reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. If all or a portion of the distribution is deemed to be an excluded distribution, the distribution will be made to all stockholders; however, the excluded portion will not be reinvested. We currently do not have any planned excluded distributions, which will only be made, if at all, in addition to, not in lieu of, regular distributions.
151
Federal Income Tax Considerations
Taxable participants will incur tax liability for income allocated to them even though they have elected not to receive their distributions in cash but rather to have their distributions reinvested under our distribution reinvestment plan. In addition, to the extent you purchase shares through our distribution reinvestment plan at a discount to their fair market value, you may be treated for tax purposes as receiving an additional distribution equal to the amount of the discount. At least until our offering stage is complete, we expect that (i) we will sell shares under the distribution reinvestment plan at $9.50 per share, and (ii) no secondary trading market for our shares will develop. In the event that the fair market value of one share is greater than $9.50 at the time of the reinvestment, participants in our distribution reinvestment plan may be treated as having received a distribution in excess of the $9.50 reinvested by them under our distribution reinvestment plan. You may be taxed on the amount of such distribution as a dividend to the extent such distribution is from current or accumulated earnings and profits, unless we have designated all or a portion of the dividend as a capital gains dividend.
Amendment, Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right to amend our distribution reinvestment plan, subject to certain limitations, upon ten days prior written notice. The reinvestment agent also reserves the right to suspend or terminate a participants individual participation in the plan, and we reserve the right to suspend or terminate our distribution reinvestment plan itself in our sole discretion at any time, by sending ten days prior written notice of suspension or termination to the individual participant or, upon termination of the plan, to all participants.

OUR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
General
CCPT IV OP, our operating partnership, was formed in July 2010 to acquire, own and operate properties on our behalf. It is structured as an UPREIT. A property owner may contribute property to an UPREIT in exchange for limited partnership units on a tax-free basis. This enables us to acquire real property from owners who desire to defer taxable gain that would otherwise be recognized by such owners upon the disposition of their property. This structure may also be attractive for property owners that desire to diversify their investments and gain benefits afforded to owners of stock in a REIT. In addition, CCPT IV OP is structured to ultimately make distributions with respect to limited partnership units that will be equivalent to the distributions made to holders of our common stock. A limited partner in CCPT IV OP may later exchange his or her limited partnership units in CCPT IV OP for shares of our common stock in a taxable transaction. For purposes of satisfying the asset and income tests for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes, the REITs proportionate share of the assets and income of an UPREIT, such as CCPT IV OP, are deemed to be assets and income of the REIT.
The partnership agreement for CCPT IV OP contains provisions that would allow, under certain circumstances, other entities, including other Cole-sponsored programs, to merge into or cause the exchange or conversion of their interest in that entity for interests of CCPT IV OP. In the event of such a merger, exchange or conversion, CCPT IV OP would issue additional limited partnership interests, which would be entitled to the same exchange rights as other limited partnership interests of CCPT IV OP. As a result, any such merger, exchange or conversion ultimately could result in the issuance of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, thereby diluting the percentage ownership interest of other stockholders.
We will hold substantially all of our assets through CCPT IV OP. We are the sole general partner of CCPT IV OP, and our advisor currently is the only limited partner of CCPT IV OP. As the sole general partner of CCPT IV OP, we have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of CCPT IV OP. We will present our financial statements on a consolidated basis to include CCPT IV OP.
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the partnership agreement of CCPT IV OP. This summary is not complete and is qualified by the specific language in the partnership agreement. For more detail, you should refer to the partnership agreement, itself, which we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Capital Contributions
As we accept subscriptions for shares, we will transfer the net proceeds of the offering to CCPT IV OP as a capital contribution. However, we will be deemed to have made capital contributions in the amount of the gross offering proceeds received from investors. CCPT IV OP will be deemed to have simultaneously paid the selling commissions and other costs associated with the offering. If CCPT IV OP requires additional funds at any time in excess of capital contributions made by our advisor and us (which are minimal in amount), or from borrowings, we may borrow funds from a financial institution or other lender and lend such funds to CCPT IV OP on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to our borrowing of such funds. In addition, we are authorized to cause CCPT IV OP to issue partnership interests for less than fair market value if we conclude in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of CCPT IV OP and us.
Operations
The partnership agreement requires that CCPT IV OP be operated in a manner that will enable us to (1) satisfy the requirements for being classified as a REIT for tax purposes, (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability, and (3) ensure that CCPT IV OP will not be classified as a publicly traded partnership for purposes of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code, which classification could result in CCPT IV OP being
153
taxed as a corporation, rather than as a partnership. See the Risk Factors Federal Income Tax Risks and the Federal Income Tax Considerations Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership Classification as a Partnership sections of this prospectus.
The partnership agreement provides that CCPT IV OP will distribute cash flow from operations as follows:
| first, to us until we have received aggregate distributions with respect to the current fiscal year equal to the minimum amount necessary for us to distribute to our stockholders to enable us to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and to avoid any federal income or excise tax liability with respect to such fiscal year; |
| next, to the limited partners until our limited partners have received aggregate distributions equal to the amount that would have been distributed to them with respect to all prior fiscal years had all CCPT IV OP income for all such prior fiscal years been allocated to us, each limited partner held a number of our common shares equal to the number of CCPT IV OP units that it holds and the REIT had distributed all such amounts to our stockholders (including the limited partners); |
| next, after the establishment of reasonable cash reserves for our expenses and obligations of CCPT IV OP, to us and to the limited partners until each partner has received aggregate distributions with respect to the current fiscal year and all fiscal years had all CCPT IV OP income for the current fiscal year and all such prior fiscal years been allocated to us, our income with respect to the current fiscal year and each such prior fiscal year equaled the minimum amount necessary to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, each limited partner held a number of common shares equal to the number of CCPT IV OP units that we hold and we had distributed all such amounts to our stockholders (including the limited partners); and |
| finally, to us and the limited partners in accordance with the partners percentage interests in CCPT IV OP. |
Similarly, the partnership agreement of CCPT IV OP provides that taxable income is allocated to the limited partners of CCPT IV OP in accordance with their relative percentage interests such that a holder of one unit of limited partnership interest in CCPT IV OP will be allocated taxable income for each taxable year in an amount equal to the amount of taxable income to be recognized by a holder of one of our shares, subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and corresponding Treasury Regulations. Losses, if any, generally will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests in CCPT IV OP.
Upon the liquidation of CCPT IV OP, after payment of debts and obligations, any remaining assets of CCPT IV OP will be distributed to partners with positive capital accounts in accordance with their respective positive capital account balances. If we were to have a negative balance in our capital account following a liquidation, we would be obligated to contribute cash to CCPT IV OP equal to such negative balance for distribution to other partners, if any, having positive balances in such capital accounts.
In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by CCPT IV OP in acquiring and operating real properties, CCPT IV OP will pay or reimburse us for all of our administrative costs and expenses. Such expenses will include the following, among others:
| all expenses relating to the formation and continuity of our existence; |
| all expenses relating to the public offering and registration of securities by us; |
| all expenses associated with the preparation and filing of any periodic reports by us under federal, state or local laws or regulations; |
| all expenses associated with compliance by us with applicable laws, rules and regulations; |
| all costs and expenses relating to any issuance or redemption of partnership interests or shares of our common stock; and |
154
| all of our other operating or administrative costs incurred in the ordinary course of our business on behalf of CCPT IV OP. |
All claims between the partners of CCPT IV OP arising out of the partnership agreement are subject to binding arbitration.
Exchange Rights
The limited partners of CCPT IV OP, including our advisor, have the right to cause their limited partnership units to be redeemed by CCPT IV OP for cash or purchased by us for cash or shares of our common stock, as elected by us. In either event, the cash amount to be paid will be equal to the cash value of the number of our shares that would be issuable if the limited partnership units were exchanged for our shares on a one-for-one basis. If we elect to purchase the limited partnership units with our shares, we will pay one share of our common stock for each limited partnership unit purchased. These exchange rights may not be exercised, however, if and to the extent that the delivery of shares upon exercise would (1) result in any person owning shares in excess of our ownership limits, (2) result in shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons, (3) cause us to be closely held within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, (4) cause us to own 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (5) cause the acquisition of shares by a redeemed limited partner to be integrated with any other distribution of our shares for purposes of complying with the Securities Act.
Subject to the foregoing, limited partners of CCPT IV OP may exercise their exchange rights at any time after one year following the date of issuance of their limited partnership units. However, a limited partner may not deliver more than two exchange notices each calendar year and may not exercise an exchange right for less than 1,000 limited partnership units, unless such limited partner holds less than 1,000 units, in which case he must exercise his exchange right for all of his units. We do not expect to issue any of the shares of common stock offered hereby to limited partners of CCPT IV OP in exchange for their limited partnership units. Rather, in the event a limited partner of CCPT IV OP exercises its exchange rights and we elect to purchase the limited partnership units with shares of our common stock, we expect to issue unregistered shares of common stock, or subsequently registered shares of common stock, in connection with such transaction.
Amendments to the Partnership Agreement
Our consent, as the general partner of CCPT IV OP, is required for any amendment to the partnership agreement. We, as the general partner of CCPT IV OP, and without the consent of any limited partner, may amend the partnership agreement in any manner, provided, however, that the consent of limited partners holding more than 50% of the interests of the limited partners is required for the following:
| any amendment affecting the conversion factor or the exchange right in a manner adverse to the limited partners; |
| any amendment that would adversely affect the rights of the limited partners to receive the distributions payable to them pursuant to the partnership agreement (other than the issuance of additional limited partnership interests); |
| any amendment that would alter the allocations of CCPT IV OPs profit and loss to the limited partners (other than the issuance of additional limited partnership interests); |
| any amendment that would impose on the limited partners any obligation to make additional capital contributions to CCPT IV OP; and |
| any amendment pursuant to a plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the partnership agreement. |
155
Termination of the Partnership
CCPT IV OP will have perpetual duration, unless it is dissolved earlier upon the first to occur of the following:
| we declare for bankruptcy or dissolve, are removed or withdraw from the partnership, provided, however, that the remaining partners may decide to continue the business; |
| ninety days after the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the partnership; |
| the exchange of all limited partnership units (other than any units held by us or our affiliates); and |
| we elect, as the general partner, to dissolve the partnership. |
Transferability of Interests
We may not (1) voluntarily withdraw as the general partner of CCPT IV OP, (2) engage in any merger, consolidation or other business combination or sale of all or substantially all of our assets (other than in connection with a change in our state of incorporation or organizational form), or (3) transfer our general partnership interest in CCPT IV OP (except to a wholly-owned subsidiary), unless the transaction in which such withdrawal, business combination or transfer occurs results in the limited partners receiving or having the right to receive an amount of cash, securities or other property equal in value to the amount they would have received if they had exercised their exchange rights immediately prior to such transaction or unless, in the case of a merger or other business combination, the successor entity contributes substantially all of its assets to CCPT IV OP in return for an interest in CCPT IV OP and agrees to assume all obligations of the general partner of CCPT IV OP. We may also enter into a business combination or transfer our general partnership interest upon the receipt of the consent of a majority-in-interest of the limited partners of CCPT IV OP, other than our advisor and other affiliates of Christopher H. Cole. With certain exceptions, a limited partner may not transfer its interests in CCPT IV OP, in whole or in part, without our written consent as general partner.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
General
The following is a summary of material federal income tax considerations associated with an investment in shares of our common stock. This summary does not address all possible tax considerations that may be material to an investor and does not constitute tax advice. Moreover, this summary does not deal with all tax aspects that might be relevant to you, as a prospective stockholder, in light of your personal circumstances, nor does it deal with particular types of stockholders that are subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, such as insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations or financial institutions or broker-dealers.
The Internal Revenue Code provisions governing the federal income tax treatment of REITs are highly technical and complex, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by the express language of applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions, treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (Treasury Regulations) and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof.
We urge you, as a prospective investor, to consult your own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to you of a purchase of shares, ownership and sale of the shares and of our election to be taxed as a REIT. These consequences include the federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of such purchase, ownership, sale and election.
Opinion of Counsel
Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP acts as our counsel, has reviewed this summary and is of the opinion that it fairly summarizes the federal income tax considerations addressed that are material to our stockholders. It is also the opinion of our counsel that we will qualify to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code for our taxable year ending December 31, 2012 provided that we operate in accordance with various assumptions and the factual representations we made to counsel concerning our business, assets and operations. We emphasize that all opinions issued by Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP are based on various assumptions and are conditioned upon the assumptions and representations we will make concerning certain factual matters related to our business and properties. Moreover, our qualification for taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Internal Revenue Code discussed below, the results of which will not be reviewed by Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP. Accordingly, the actual results of our operations for any one taxable year may not satisfy these requirements. See the Risk Factors Federal Income Tax Risks section of this prospectus.
The statements made in this section and in the opinion of Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP are based upon existing law and Treasury Regulations, as currently applicable, currently published administrative positions of the Internal Revenue Service and judicial decisions, all of which are subject to change, either prospectively or retroactively. We cannot assure you that any changes will not modify the conclusions expressed in counsels opinion. Moreover, an opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, and we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge our status as a REIT.
Taxation of the Company
We plan to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, effective for our taxable year ending December 31, 2012. In the opinion of Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP, commencing with such taxable year, we will be organized and will operate in such manner to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. However, no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. Pursuant to our charter, our board of directors has the authority to make any tax elections on our behalf that, in its sole judgment, are in our best interests. This authority includes the ability to elect not to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or, after qualifying as a REIT, to revoke or otherwise terminate our status as a REIT. Our board of directors has the authority under our charter to
157
make these elections without the necessity of obtaining the approval of our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the authority to waive any restrictions and limitations contained in our charter that are intended to preserve our status as a REIT during any period in which our board of directors has determined not to pursue or preserve our status as a REIT.
Although REITs continue to receive substantially better tax treatment than entities taxed as corporations, it is possible that future legislation would cause a REIT to be a less advantageous tax status for companies that invest in real estate, and it could become more advantageous for such companies to elect to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a corporation. As a result, our charter provides our board of directors with the ability, under certain circumstances, to elect not to qualify us as a REIT or, after we have qualified as a REIT, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election and cause us to be taxed as a corporation, without the vote of our stockholders. Our board of directors has fiduciary duties to us and to our investors and would only cause such changes in our tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interests of our stockholders.
If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes on that portion of our ordinary income or capital gain that we distribute currently to our stockholders, because the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code generally allow a REIT to deduct distributions paid to its stockholders. This substantially eliminates the federal double taxation on earnings (taxation at both the corporate level and stockholder level) that usually results from an investment in a corporation.
Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are subject to federal income taxation as follows:
| we will be taxed at regular corporate rates on our undistributed REIT taxable income, including undistributed net capital gains; |
| under some circumstances, we will be subject to alternative minimum tax; |
| if we have net income from the sale or other disposition of foreclosure property (described below) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we will be subject to tax at the highest corporate rate on that income; |
| if we have net income from prohibited transactions (described below), our income from such prohibited transaction will be subject to a 100% tax; |
| if we fail to satisfy either of the 75% or 95% gross income tests (discussed below) but have nonetheless maintained our qualification as a REIT because applicable conditions have been met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal to the greater of the amount by which we fail the 75% or 95% test multiplied by a fraction calculated to reflect our profitability; |
| if we fail to satisfy the asset tests (discussed below) and continue to qualify as a REIT because we meet other requirements, we will have to pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate income tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets during the time we failed to satisfy the asset tests; |
| if we fail to satisfy REIT requirements other than the gross income and asset tests, we can continue to qualify as a REIT if our failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, but we must pay $50,000 for each failure; |
| if we fail to distribute during each year at least the sum of (i) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for the year, (ii) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the amounts actually distributed; and |
| if we acquire any asset from a C corporation (i.e., a corporation generally subject to corporate-level tax) in a carryover-basis transaction and we subsequently recognize gain on the disposition of the asset during |
158
the ten-year period beginning on the date on which we acquired the asset, then a portion of the gains may be subject to tax at the highest regular corporate rate, pursuant to guidelines issued by the Internal Revenue Service (this is known as the Built-In-Gains-Tax). |
Foreclosure property is real property and any personal property incident to such real property (1) that is acquired by a REIT as the result of the REIT having bid in the property at foreclosure, or having otherwise acquired ownership or possession of the property by agreement or process of law, after there was a default (or default was imminent) on a lease of the property or on a mortgage loan held by the REIT and secured by the property, (2) the related loan or lease of which was acquired by the REIT at a time when default was not imminent or anticipated and (3) for which such REIT makes a proper election to treat the property as foreclosure property. A prohibited transaction is generally a sale or other disposition of property (other than foreclosure property) that is held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a REITs trade or business, a determination that depends on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each property.
Requirements for Qualification as a REIT
In order for us to qualify as a REIT, we must meet, and we must continue to meet, the requirements discussed below relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping.
Organizational Requirements
In order to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must:
| be a domestic corporation; |
| elect to be taxed as a REIT and satisfy relevant filing and other administrative requirements; |
| be managed by one or more trustees or directors; |
| have transferable shares; |
| not be a financial institution or an insurance company; |
| use a calendar year for federal income tax purposes; |
| have at least 100 stockholders for at least 335 days of each taxable year of 12 months; and |
| not be closely held. |
As a Maryland corporation, we satisfy the first requirement, and we intend to file an election to be taxed as a REIT when we file our tax return with the Internal Revenue Service for the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. In addition, we are managed by a board of directors, we have transferable shares and we will not operate as a financial institution or insurance company. We utilize the calendar year for federal income tax purposes.
We would be treated as closely held only if five or fewer individuals or certain tax-exempt entities own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% (by value) of our shares at any time during the last half of our taxable year. For purposes of the closely held test, the Internal Revenue Code generally permits a look-through for pension funds and certain other tax-exempt entities to the beneficiaries of the entity to determine if the REIT is closely held. However, these requirements do not apply until after the first taxable year for which an election is made to be taxed as a REIT. We anticipate issuing sufficient shares with sufficient diversity of ownership pursuant to this offering to allow us to satisfy these requirements in the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. In addition, our charter provides for restrictions regarding transfer of shares that are intended to assist us in continuing to satisfy these share ownership requirements. Such transfer restrictions are described in the Description of Shares Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer section of this prospectus.
159
These provisions permit us to refuse to recognize certain transfers of shares that would tend to violate these REIT provisions. We can offer no assurance that our refusal to recognize a transfer will be effective. However, based on the foregoing, for the year ending December 31, 2012, we expect to satisfy the organizational requirements, including the share ownership requirements, required for qualifying as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
Notwithstanding compliance with the share ownership requirements outlined above, tax-exempt stockholders may be required to treat all or a portion of their distributions from us as UBTI if tax-exempt stockholders, in the aggregate, exceed certain ownership thresholds set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. See Treatment of Tax-Exempt Stockholders below.
Ownership of Interests in Partnerships and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries
In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT is deemed to own its proportionate share, based on its interest in partnership capital, of the assets of the partnership and is deemed to have earned its allocable share of partnership income. Also, if a REIT owns a qualified REIT subsidiary, which is defined as a corporation wholly-owned by a REIT that does not elect to be taxed as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) under the Internal Revenue Code, the REIT will be deemed to own all of the subsidiarys assets and liabilities and it will be deemed to be entitled to treat the income of that subsidiary as its own. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership or qualified REIT subsidiary shall retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of satisfying the gross income tests and asset tests set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.
Operational Requirements Gross Income Tests
If we qualify for taxation as a REIT, to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must, on an annual basis, satisfy the following gross income requirements:
| At least 75% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, for each taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property. Gross income includes rents from real property and, in some circumstances, interest, but excludes gross income from dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Such dispositions are referred to as prohibited transactions. This is known as the 75% Income Test. |
| At least 95% of our gross income, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions, for each taxable year must be derived from the real property investments described above and from distributions, interest and gains from the sale or disposition of stock or securities or from any combination of the foregoing. This is known as the 95% Income Test. |
The rents we receive, or that we are deemed to receive, qualify as rents from real property for purposes of satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT only if the following conditions are met:
| the amount of rent received from a tenant generally must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person; however, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term rents from real property solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or sales; |
| rents received from a tenant will not qualify as rents from real property if an owner of 10% or more of the REIT directly or constructively owns 10% or more of the tenant or a subtenant of the tenant (in which case only rent attributable to the subtenant is disqualified); |
| if rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to the personal property will not qualify as rents from real property; and |
160
| the REIT must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render services to tenants, other than through an independent contractor who is adequately compensated and from whom the REIT does not derive any income. However, a REIT may provide services with respect to its properties, and the income derived therefrom will qualify as rents from real property if the services are usually or customarily rendered in connection with the rental of space only and are not otherwise considered rendered to the occupant. Even if the services with respect to a property are impermissible tenant services, the income derived therefrom will qualify as rents from real property if such income does not exceed 1% of all amounts received or accrued with respect to that property. Additionally, a REIT may, under certain circumstances, furnish or render services to tenants that are not usually or customarily rendered through a TRS. Subject to certain exceptions, a TRS is any corporation, other than a REIT, in which we directly or indirectly own stock and with respect to which a joint election has been made by us and the corporation to treat the corporation as a TRS of ours. It also includes any corporation, other than a REIT or a qualified REIT subsidiary, in which a TRS of ours owns, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of the voting power or value. |
We will be paid interest on the mortgage loans that we make or acquire. All interest qualifies under the 95% Income Test. If a mortgage loan is secured exclusively by real property, all of such interest will also qualify for the 75% Income Test. If both real property and other property secure the mortgage loan, then all of the interest on such mortgage loan will also qualify for the 75% Income Test if the amount of the loan did not exceed the fair market value of the real property at the time of the loan commitment.
If we acquire ownership of property by reason of the default of a borrower on a loan or possession of property by reason of a tenant default, if the property qualifies and we elect to treat it as foreclosure property, the income from the property will qualify under the 75% Income Test and the 95% Income Test notwithstanding its failure to satisfy these requirements for three years, or if extended for good cause, up to a total of six years. In that event, we must satisfy a number of complex rules, one of which is a requirement that we operate the property through an independent contractor. We will be subject to tax on that portion of our net income from foreclosure property that does not otherwise qualify under the 75% Income Test.
Prior to investing the offering proceeds in properties, we may satisfy the 75% Income Test and the 95% Income Test by investing in liquid assets such as government securities or certificates of deposit, but earnings from those types of assets are qualifying income under the 75% Income Test only for one year from the receipt of proceeds. Accordingly, to the extent that offering proceeds have not been invested in properties prior to the expiration of this one-year period, in order to satisfy the 75% Income Test, we may invest the offering proceeds in less liquid investments such as mortgage-backed securities, maturing mortgage loans purchased from mortgage lenders or shares in other REITs. We expect to receive proceeds from the offering in a series of closings and to trace those proceeds for purposes of determining the one-year period for new capital investments.
Except for amounts received with respect to certain investments of cash reserves, we anticipate that substantially all of our gross income will be derived from sources that will allow us to satisfy the income tests described above; however, we can give no assurance in this regard.
Notwithstanding our failure to satisfy one or both of the 75% Income Test and the 95% Income Test for any taxable year, we may still qualify as a REIT for that year if we are eligible for relief under specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These relief provisions generally will be available if:
| our failure to meet these tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect; |
| we attach a schedule of our income sources to our federal income tax return; and |
| any incorrect information on the schedule is not due to fraud with intent to evade tax. |
161
It is not possible, however, to state whether, in all circumstances, we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions. For example, if we fail to satisfy the gross income tests because nonqualifying income that we intentionally earn exceeds the limits on this income, the Internal Revenue Service could conclude that our failure to satisfy the tests was not due to reasonable cause. As discussed above in Taxation of the Company, even if these relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed with respect to the excess net income.
Operational Requirements Asset Tests
At the close of each quarter of our taxable year, we also must satisfy the following three tests relating to the nature and diversification of our assets:
| First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by real estate assets, cash, cash items and government securities. The term real estate assets includes real property, mortgages on real property, shares in other qualified REITs and a proportionate share of any real estate assets owned by a partnership in which we are a partner or of any qualified REIT subsidiary of ours. |
| Second, no more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by securities other than those in the 75% asset class. |
| Third, of the investments included in the 25% asset class, except with respect to TRS and assets satisfying the 75% test, the value of any one issuers securities may not exceed 5% of the value of our total assets. Additionally, we may not own more than 10% of any one issuers outstanding securities measured by either voting power or value. |
| Fourth, no more than 25% of the value of our total assets may consist of the securities of one or more TRSs. |
The third asset test must generally be met for any quarter in which we acquire securities, and we have up to six months to dispose of sufficient assets or otherwise to cure a failure to satisfy this asset test, provided the failure is due to the ownership of assets the total value of which does not exceed the lesser of (1) 1% of our assets at the end of the relevant quarter or (2) $10,000,000.
| If we meet the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our REIT status for a failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter if such failure occurs solely because of changes in asset values. If our failure to satisfy the asset tests results from an acquisition of securities or other property during a quarter, we can cure the failure by disposing of a sufficient amount of nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. We will maintain adequate records of the value of our assets to ensure compliance with the asset tests and will take other action within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to cure any noncompliance. |
| For violations of any of the asset tests due to reasonable cause that are larger than $10,000,000, we may avoid disqualification as a REIT after the 30 day cure period by taking certain steps, including the disposition of sufficient assets within the six month period described above to meet the applicable asset test, paying a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate multiplied by the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets during the period of time that the assets were held as non-qualifying assets, and filing a schedule with the Internal Revenue Service that describes the non-qualifying assets. |
Operational Requirements Annual Distribution Requirement
In order to be taxed as a REIT, we are required to make distributions, other than capital gain distributions, to our stockholders each year in the amount of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, which is computed without regard to the distributions paid deduction and our capital gain and subject to certain other potential adjustments.
162
While we must generally make distributions in the taxable year to which they relate, we may also pay distributions in the following taxable year if (1) they are declared before we timely file our federal income tax return for the taxable year in question, and (2) they are made on or before the first regular distribution payment date after the declaration.
Even if we satisfy the foregoing distribution requirement and, accordingly, qualify as a REIT for tax purposes, we will still be subject to tax on the excess of our net capital gain and our REIT taxable income, as adjusted, over the amount of distributions made to stockholders.
In addition, we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of the amount of such required distributions over amounts actually distributed during such year if we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of:
| 85% of our ordinary income for that year; |
| 95% of our capital gain net income other than the capital gain net income that we elect to retain and pay tax on for that year; and |
| any undistributed taxable income from prior periods. |
We intend to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy this requirement. It is possible, however, that we may experience timing differences between (1) the actual receipt of cash and payment of deductible expenses, and (2) the recognition of income. It is also possible that we may be allocated a share of net capital gain attributable to the sale of depreciated property that exceeds our allocable share of cash attributable to that sale.
In such circumstances, we may have less cash than is necessary to meet our annual distribution requirement or to avoid income or excise taxation on certain undistributed income. We may find it necessary in such circumstances to arrange for financing or raise funds through the issuance of additional shares in order to meet our distribution requirements, or we may pay taxable stock distributions to meet the distribution requirement.
If we fail to satisfy the distribution requirement for any taxable year by reason of a later adjustment to our taxable income made by the Internal Revenue Service, we may be able to pay deficiency distributions in a later year and include such distributions in our deductions for distributions paid for the earlier year. In such event, we may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency distributions, but we would be required in such circumstances to pay interest to the Internal Revenue Service based upon the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency distributions for the earlier year.
We may also elect to retain, rather than distribute, our net long-term capital gains. The effect of such an election would be as follows:
| we would be required to pay the tax on these gains; |
| our stockholders, while required to include their proportionate share of the undistributed long-term capital gains in income, would receive a credit or refund for their share of the tax paid by us; and |
| the basis of a stockholders shares would be increased by the difference between the designated amount included in the stockholders long-term capital gains and the tax deemed paid with respect to such shares. |
In computing our REIT taxable income, we will use the accrual method of accounting and depreciate depreciable property under the alternative depreciation system. We are required to file an annual federal income tax return, which, like other corporate returns, is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Because the tax law requires us to make many judgments regarding the proper treatment of a transaction or an item of income or deduction, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service will challenge positions we take
163
in computing our REIT taxable income and our distributions. Issues could arise, for example, with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of properties between depreciable or amortizable assets and non-depreciable or non-amortizable assets such as land and the current deductibility of fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates. If the Internal Revenue Service successfully challenges our characterization of a transaction or determination of our REIT taxable income, we could be found to have failed to satisfy a requirement for qualification as a REIT. If, as a result of a challenge, we are determined to have failed to satisfy the distribution requirements for a taxable year, we would be disqualified as a REIT unless we were permitted to pay a deficiency distribution to our stockholders and pay interest thereon to the Internal Revenue Service, as provided by the Internal Revenue Code. A deficiency distribution cannot be used to satisfy the distribution requirement, however, if the failure to meet the requirement is not due to a later adjustment to our income by the Internal Revenue Service.
Certain taxable stock dividends may satisfy the 90% annual distribution requirement. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that a distribution of stock by a REIT, whether publicly traded on an established securities market or not, may be treated as a distribution of property that qualifies for the 90% annual distribution requirement. Currently, these rulings require, among other things, that the distribution is declared on or before December 31, 2012, and with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011.
Operational Requirements Recordkeeping
In order to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must maintain records as specified in applicable Treasury Regulations. Further, we must request, on an annual basis, information designed to disclose the ownership of our outstanding shares. We intend to comply with such requirements.
Failure to Qualify as a REIT
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. See the Risk Factors Federal Income Tax Risks section of this prospectus.
Sale-Leaseback Transactions
Some of our investments may be in the form of sale-leaseback transactions. In most instances, depending on the economic terms of the transaction, we will be treated for federal income tax purposes as either the owner of the property or the holder of a debt secured by the property. We do not expect to request an opinion of counsel concerning the status of any leases of properties as true leases for federal income tax purposes.
The Internal Revenue Service may take the position that a specific sale-leaseback transaction that we treat as a true lease is not a true lease for federal income tax purposes but is, instead, a financing arrangement or loan. We may also structure some sale-leaseback transactions as loans. In this event, for purposes of the asset tests and the 75% Income Test, each such loan likely would be viewed as secured by real property to the extent of the fair market value of the underlying property. We expect that, for this purpose, the fair market value of the underlying property would be determined without taking into account our lease. If a sale-leaseback transaction were so recharacterized, we might fail to satisfy the asset tests or the income tests and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of recharacterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated, which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
164
Taxation of U.S. Stockholders
Definition
In this section, the phrase U.S. stockholder means a holder of shares of our common stock that for federal income tax purposes is:
| a citizen or resident of the United States; |
| a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof; |
| an estate or trust, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or |
| a trust, if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. |
For any taxable year for which we qualify for taxation as a REIT, amounts distributed to U.S. stockholders will be taxed as described below.
Distributions Generally
Distributions to U.S. stockholders, other than capital gain distributions discussed below, will constitute distributions up to the amount of our current or accumulated earnings and profits and will be taxable to the stockholders as ordinary income. Individuals receiving qualified dividends, which are distributions from domestic and certain qualifying foreign subchapter C corporations, may be taxed at lower rates on distributions (at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, currently at a maximum rate of 15%) provided certain holding period requirements are met. Because, however, we will be taxed as a REIT, individuals receiving distributions from us generally will not be eligible for the lower rates on distributions except with respect to the portion of any distribution that (a) represents distributions being passed through to us from a corporation in which we own shares (but only if such distributions would be eligible for the lower rates on distributions if paid by the corporation to its individual stockholders), (b) is equal to our REIT taxable income (taking into account the distributions paid deduction available to us) less any taxes paid by us on these items during our previous taxable year, or (c) is attributable to built-in gains realized and recognized by us from disposition of properties acquired by us in non-recognition transaction, less any taxes paid by us on these items during our previous taxable year. These distributions are not eligible for the distributions received deduction generally available to corporations.
To the extent that we make a distribution in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, reducing the tax basis in each U.S. stockholders shares (but not below zero). This, in effect, will defer a portion of your tax until your investment is sold or we are liquidated, at which time you likely will be taxed at capital gains rates. The amount of each distribution in excess of a U.S. stockholders tax basis in its shares will be taxable as gain realized from the sale of its shares. Distributions that we declare in October, November or December of any year payable to a stockholder of record on a specified date in any of these months will be treated as both paid by us and received by the stockholder on December 31 of the year, so long as we actually pay the distribution during January of the following calendar year. U.S. stockholders may not include any of our losses on their own federal income tax returns.
We will be treated as having sufficient earnings and profits to treat as a distribution any distribution by us up to the amount required to be distributed in order to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax discussed above. Moreover, any deficiency dividend will be treated as an ordinary or capital gain distribution, as the case may be, regardless of our earnings and profits. As a result, stockholders may be required to treat as taxable some distributions that would otherwise result in a tax-free return of capital.
165
Capital Gain Distributions
Distributions to U.S. stockholders that we properly designate as capital gain distributions normally will be treated as long-term capital gains, to the extent they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period for which the U.S. stockholder has held his or her shares. A corporate U.S. stockholder, however, may be required to treat up to 20% of some capital gain distributions as ordinary income. See Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Operational Requirements Annual Distribution Requirement above for the treatment by U.S. stockholders of net long-term capital gains that we elect to retain and pay tax on.
Passive Activity Loss and Investment Interest Limitations
Our distributions and any gain realized from a disposition of shares will not be treated as passive activity income, and stockholders may not be able to utilize any of their passive losses to offset this income on their personal tax returns. Our distributions (to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital) will generally be treated as investment income for purposes of the limitations on the deduction of investment interest. Net capital gain from a disposition of shares and capital gain distributions generally will be included in investment income for purposes of the investment interest deduction limitations only if, and to the extent, so elected, in which case any such capital gains will be taxed as ordinary income.
Certain Dispositions of the Shares
In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares by a U.S. stockholder who is not a dealer in securities will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than 12 months and as short-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for 12 months or less. If, however, a U.S. stockholder has received any capital gains distributions with respect to his shares, any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares held for six months or less, to the extent of the capital gains distributions received with respect to his shares, will be treated as long-term capital loss. Also, the Internal Revenue Service is authorized to issue Treasury Regulations that would subject a portion of the capital gain a U.S. stockholder recognizes from selling shares or from a capital gain distribution to a tax at a 25% rate, to the extent the capital gain is attributable to depreciation previously deducted.
A repurchase by us of shares for cash will be treated as a distribution that is taxable as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits at the time of the repurchase under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code unless the repurchase:
| results in a complete termination of the stockholders interest in us under Section 302(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; |
| is substantially disproportionate with respect to the stockholder under Section 302(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., if the percentage of the voting stock of the corporation owned by a stockholder immediately after the repurchase is less than 80% of the percentage of that owned by such stockholder immediately before the repurchase (taking into account Internal Revenue Code Section 318 constructive ownership rules); or |
| is not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to the stockholder under Section 302(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., if it results in a meaningful reduction in the stockholders interest in us). |
If the repurchase is not treated as a dividend, the repurchase of common stock for cash will result in taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the stockholders tax basis in the shares of our common stock repurchased. Such gain or loss would be capital gain or loss if the common stock were held as a capital asset and would be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the shares of our common stock exceeds one year.
166
Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for U.S. Stockholders
Under some circumstances, U.S. stockholders may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% on payments made with respect to, or cash proceeds of a sale or exchange of, our shares. Backup withholding will apply only if the stockholder:
| fails to furnish his or her taxpayer identification number or, for an individual, his or her Social Security Number; |
| furnishes an incorrect tax identification number; |
| is notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she has failed to properly report payments of interest and distributions or is otherwise subject to backup withholding; or |
| under some circumstances, fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that he or she has furnished a correct tax identification number and that (a) he or she has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she is subject to backup withholding for failure to report interest and distribution payments or (b) he or she has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he or she is no longer subject to backup withholding. |
Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to some stockholders, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding with respect to a payment to a U.S. stockholder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. stockholders U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. stockholder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. U.S. stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.
Cost Basis Reporting
The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 (the Act) imposed new customer reporting requirements on certain financial intermediaries (brokers). The Act now requires every broker that is required to file an information return reporting the gross proceeds of a covered security with the Internal Revenue Service to include in the information return the stockholders adjusted basis in the security, and whether any gain or loss with respect to the security is short-term or long-term within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Sec. 1222. Under IRC Sec. 6045(g)(3), a covered security includes any share of stock in a corporation that was acquired in an account on or after January 1, 2011. We have determined that shares of our common stock that were acquired on or after January 1, 2011, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, are covered securities under the Act. Thus, stockholders who redeem, sell or otherwise liquidate shares that were purchased on or after January 1, 2011 will receive an information return reporting the gross proceeds from the sale, the adjusted basis of the shares sold, and whether any gain or loss is short-term or long-term within the meaning of IRC Sec. 1222. We are required to furnish this statement to stockholders by February 15 of the year following the calendar year in which the covered securities were sold. This information also will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
When determining the adjusted basis of the shares sold, IRC Sec. 6045(g)(2)(B) requires us to use the first-in first-out method. When using the first-in first-out method, we are required to identify the shares sold in the order that they were acquired. However, as an alternative to the first-in first-out method, the stockholder may notify us of a preferred alternative by means of making an adequate identification of the shares to be liquidated prior to the liquidation event. Please see the section entitled Description of Shares Share Redemption Program for additional information about our share redemption program.
Treatment of Tax-Exempt Stockholders
Tax-exempt entities such as employee pension benefit trusts, individual retirement accounts and charitable remainder trusts generally are exempt from federal income taxation. Such entities are subject to taxation,
167
however, on any UBTI. Our payment of distributions to a tax-exempt employee pension benefit trust or other domestic tax-exempt stockholder generally will not constitute UBTI to such stockholder unless such stockholder has borrowed to acquire or carry its shares, or has used the shares of stock in a trade or business.
In the event that we were deemed to be predominately held by qualified employee pension benefit trusts, such trusts would be required to treat a certain percentage of the distributions paid to them as UBTI. We would be deemed to be predominately held by such trusts if either (i) one employee pension benefit trust owns more than 25% in value of our shares, or (ii) any group of employee pension benefit trusts, each owning more than 10% in value of our shares, holds in the aggregate more than 50% in value of our shares. If either of these ownership thresholds were ever exceeded, any qualified employee pension benefit trust holding more than 10% in value of our shares would be subject to tax on that portion of our distributions made to it which is equal to the percentage of our income that would be UBTI if we were a qualified trust, rather than a REIT. We monitor the concentration of ownership of employee pension benefit trusts in our shares, and we do not expect our shares to be deemed to be predominately held by qualified employee pension benefit trusts, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, to the extent required to trigger the treatment of our income as to such trusts.
For social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans exempt from federal income taxation under Sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and (c)(20) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, income from an investment in our shares will constitute UBTI unless the stockholder in question is able to deduct amounts set aside or placed in reserve for certain purposes so as to offset the UBTI generated. Any such organization that is a prospective stockholder should consult its own tax advisor concerning these set aside and reserve requirements.
Special Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Stockholders
The rules governing U.S. income taxation of non-resident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and foreign trusts and estates (non-U.S. stockholders) are complex, and the following discussion is intended only as a summary. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal, state and local income tax laws on an investment in our shares, including any reporting requirements.
Income Effectively Connected with a U.S. Trade or Business
In general, non-U.S. stockholders will be subject to regular U.S. federal income taxation with respect to their investment in our shares if the income derived therefrom is effectively connected with the non-U.S. stockholders conduct of a trade or business in the United States. The determination of whether an investment in our shares is effectively connected with another U.S. trade or business will depend entirely on the potential investors business activities within the U.S., and we recommend consultation with a qualified international tax advisor on the issue. A non-U.S. stockholder treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that receives income that is (or is treated as) effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business also may be subject to a branch profits tax under Section 884 of the Internal Revenue Code, which is payable in addition to the regular U.S. federal corporate income tax.
The following discussion will apply to non-U.S. stockholders whose income derived from ownership of our shares is deemed to be not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.
Distributions Not Attributable to Gain from the Sale or Exchange of a United States Real Property Interest
A distribution to a non-U.S. stockholder that is not attributable to gain realized by us from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest within the meaning under FIRPTA, and that we do not designate as a capital gain distribution will be treated as an ordinary income distribution to the extent that it is made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits. Generally, any ordinary income distribution will be subject to a U.S. federal income tax equal to 30% of the gross amount of the distribution unless this tax is
168
reduced by the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. Any such distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a return of capital that will reduce each non-U.S. stockholders basis in its shares (but not below zero) and then as gain from the disposition of those shares, the tax treatment of which is described under the rules discussed below with respect to dispositions of shares.
Distributions Attributable to Gain from the Sale or Exchange of a United States Real Property Interest
Distributions to a non-U.S. stockholder that are attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest will be taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder under Internal Revenue Code provisions enacted by FIRPTA. Under FIRPTA, such distributions are taxed to a non-U.S. stockholder as if the distributions were gains effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Accordingly, a non-U.S. stockholder will be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to a U.S. stockholder (subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax and a special alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien individuals). Distributions subject to FIRPTA also may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a corporate non-U.S. stockholder that is not entitled to a treaty exemption. Capital gain distributions generally will be treated as subject to FIRPTA.
Withholding Obligations With Respect to Distributions to Non-U.S. Stockholders
Although tax treaties may reduce our withholding obligations, based on current law, we will generally be required to withhold from distributions to non-U.S. stockholders, and remit to the Internal Revenue Service:
| 35% of designated capital gain distributions or, if greater, 35% of the amount of any distributions that could be designated as capital gain distributions; and |
| 30% of ordinary income distributions (i.e., distributions paid out of our earnings and profits). |
In addition, if we designate prior distributions as capital gain distributions, subsequent distributions, up to the amount of the prior distributions, will be treated as capital gain distributions for purposes of withholding. A distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will be subject to 30% withholding if at the time of the distribution it cannot be determined whether the distribution will be in an amount in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. If the amount of tax we withhold with respect to a distribution to a non-U.S. stockholder exceeds the stockholders U.S. tax liability with respect to that distribution, the non-U.S. stockholder may file a claim with the Internal Revenue Service for a refund of the excess.
Sale of Our Shares by a Non-U.S. Stockholder
A sale of our shares by a non-U.S. stockholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless (1) the gain or loss from such sale is effectively connected with the conduct of another U.S. trade or business or (2) our shares constitute a United States real property interest under FIRPTA. With respect to determining whether gain or loss on the sale of our stock is effectively connected with another U.S. trade or business, this determination will depend entirely on each potential non-U.S. investors business activities within the U.S. We recommend consultation with a qualified international tax advisor on this issue. With respect to potential taxation under FIRPTA of the sale of a United States real property interest, in general our shares will not constitute a United States real property interest provided we are a domestically controlled REIT.
A domestically controlled REIT is a REIT that at all times during a specified testing period has less than 50% in value of its shares held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. stockholders. We currently anticipate that we will be a domestically controlled REIT, so gain from the sale of our common stock should not be subject to federal income taxation under FIRPTA. However, we do expect to sell shares of our common stock to non-U.S. stockholders and we cannot assure you that we will continue to be a domestically controlled REIT. If we are not a domestically controlled REIT, it is possible that our common stock would constitute a U.S. real property interest, and as a result, any gain from the sale of our common stock by a non-U.S. stockholder would be subject to federal income tax under FIRPTA.
169
If sale of our common stock were subject to taxation under FIRPTA, a non-U.S. stockholder would be subject to the same federal income tax treatment as a U.S. stockholder with respect to the gain recognized (subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax in the case of non-resident alien individuals). In addition, distributions that are subject to tax under FIRPTA also may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax when made to a non-U.S. stockholder treated as a corporation (under U.S. federal income tax principles) that is not otherwise entitled to a treaty exemption. Finally, if we are not a domestically controlled REIT at the time our stock is sold, under FIRPTA the purchaser of our common stock also may be required to withhold 10% of the purchase price and remit this amount to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the selling non-U.S. stockholder.
With respect to individual non-U.S. stockholders, even if not subject to FIRPTA, capital gains recognized from the sale of our common stock will be taxable to such non-U.S. stockholder if he or she is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and some other conditions apply, in which case the non-resident alien individual may be subject to a U.S. federal income tax on his or her U.S. source capital gains.
Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding for Non-U.S. Stockholders
Additional issues may arise for information reporting and backup withholding for non-U.S. stockholders. Non-U.S. stockholders should consult their tax advisors with regard to U.S. information reporting and backup withholding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.
Statement of Stock Ownership
We are required to demand annual written statements from the record holders of designated percentages of our shares disclosing the actual owners of the shares. Any record stockholder who, upon our request, does not provide us with required information concerning actual ownership of the shares is required to include specified information relating to his or her shares in his or her federal income tax return. We also must maintain, within the Internal Revenue District in which we are required to file, our federal income tax return, permanent records showing the information we have received about the actual ownership of shares and a list of those persons failing or refusing to comply with our demand.
State and Local Taxation
We and any operating subsidiaries that we may form may be subject to state and local tax in states and localities in which they or we do business or own property. The tax treatment of us, CCPT IV OP, any operating subsidiaries we may form and the holders of our shares in local jurisdictions may differ from the federal income tax treatment described above. Prospective stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws an their investment in our shares.
Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership
The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax considerations applicable to our investment in CCPT IV OP, our operating partnership. The discussion does not cover state or local tax laws or any federal tax laws other than income tax laws.
Classification as a Partnership
We will be entitled to include in our income a distributive share of CCPT IV OPs income and to deduct our distributive share of CCPT IV OPs losses only if CCPT IV OP is classified for federal income tax purposes as a partnership, rather than as an association taxable as a corporation. Under applicable Treasury Regulations known as the Check-the-Box-Regulations, an unincorporated entity with at least two members may elect to be classified either as an association taxable as a corporation or as a partnership. If such an entity fails to make an
170
election, it generally will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. CCPT IV OP intends to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and will not elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under the Check-the-Box-Regulations.
Even though CCPT IV OP will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, it may be taxed as a corporation if it is deemed to be a publicly traded partnership (PTP). A PTP is a partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market, or the substantial equivalent thereof. However, a PTP will not be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes if at least 90% of such partnerships gross income for a taxable year consists of qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualifying income generally includes any income that is qualifying income for purposes of the 95% Income Test applicable to REITs (the 90% Passive-Type Income Exception). See Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Operational Requirements Gross Income Tests above.
In addition, limited safe harbors from the definition of a PTP are provided under the applicable PTP Treasury Regulations. Pursuant to one of these (the Private Placement Exclusion), interests in a partnership will not be treated as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof if (i) all interests in the partnership were issued in a transaction (or transactions) that was not required to be registered under the Securities Act, and (ii) the partnership does not have more than 100 partners at any time during the partnerships taxable year. In determining the number of partners in a partnership, a person owning an interest in a flow-through entity, such as a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation, that owns an interest in the partnership is treated as a partner in such partnership only if (a) substantially all of the value of the owners interest in the flow-through is attributable to the flow-through entitys interest, direct or indirect, in the partnership and (b) a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity is to permit the partnership to satisfy the 100 partner limitation. CCPT IV OP qualifies for the Private Placement Exclusion. Moreover, even if CCPT IV OP were considered a PTP under the PTP Regulations because it is deemed to have more than 100 partners, we believe CCPT IV OP should not be treated as a corporation because it is eligible for the 90% Passive-Type Income Exception described above.
We have not requested, and do not intend to request, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that CCPT IV OP will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP is of the opinion, however, that based on certain factual assumptions and representations, CCPT IV OP will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a partnership and not as an association taxable as a corporation, or as a PTP. Unlike a tax ruling, however, an opinion of counsel is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service, and we can offer no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the status of CCPT IV OP as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. If such challenge were sustained by a court, CCPT IV OP would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, as described below. In addition, the opinion of Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP is based on existing law, which is to a great extent the result of administrative and judicial interpretation. No assurance can be given that administrative or judicial changes would not modify the conclusions expressed in the opinion.
If for any reason CCPT IV OP were taxable as a corporation, rather than a partnership, for federal income tax purposes, we would not be able to qualify as a REIT. See Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Operational Requirements Gross Income Tests and Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Operational Requirements Asset Tests above. In addition, any change in CCPT IV OPs status for tax purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case we might incur a tax liability without any related cash distribution. Further, items of income and deduction of CCPT IV OP would not pass through to its partners, and its partners would be treated as stockholders for tax purposes. Consequently, CCPT IV OP would be required to pay income tax at corporate tax rates on its net income, and distributions to its partners would not be deductible in computing CCPT IV OPs taxable income.
171
Income Taxation of the Operating Partnership and Its Partners
Partners, Not a Partnership, Subject to Tax
A partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. As a partner in CCPT IV OP, we will be required to take into account our allocable share of CCPT IV OPs income, gains, losses, deductions and credits for any taxable year of CCPT IV OP ending within or with our taxable year, without regard to whether we have received or will receive any distribution from CCPT IV OP.
Partnership Allocations
Although a partnership agreement generally determines the allocation of income and losses among partners, such allocations will be disregarded for tax purposes if they do not comply with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations. If an allocation is not recognized for federal income tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners interests in the partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. CCPT IV OPs allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.
Tax Allocations With Respect to Contributed Properties
Pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, income, gain, loss and deductions attributable to appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for federal income tax purposes in a manner such that the contributor is charged with, or benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution and the adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, partnerships are required to use a reasonable method for allocating items subject to Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and several reasonable allocation methods are described therein.
Under the partnership agreement for CCPT IV OP, depreciation or amortization deductions of CCPT IV OP generally will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective interests in CCPT IV OP, except to the extent that CCPT IV OP is required under Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code to use a method for allocating depreciation deductions attributable to its properties that results in us receiving a disproportionately large share of such deductions. We may possibly be allocated (1) lower amounts of depreciation deductions for tax purposes with respect to contributed properties than would be allocated to us if each such property were to have a tax basis equal to its fair market value at the time of contribution and/or (2) taxable gain in the event of a sale of such contributed properties in excess of the economic profit allocated to us as a result of such sale. These allocations may cause us to recognize taxable income in excess of cash proceeds received by us, which might adversely affect our ability to comply with the REIT distribution requirements, although we do not anticipate this will occur.
The foregoing principles also will affect the calculation of our earnings and profits for purposes of determining which portion of our distributions is taxable as a distribution. If we acquire properties in exchange for units of CCPT IV OP, the allocations described in this paragraph may result in a higher portion of our distributions being taxed as a distribution than would have occurred had we purchased such properties for cash.
Basis in Operating Partnership Interest
The adjusted tax basis of our partnership interest in CCPT IV OP generally is equal to (1) the amount of cash and the basis of any other property contributed to CCPT IV OP by us, (2) increased by (a) our allocable share of CCPT IV OPs income and (b) our allocable share of indebtedness of CCPT IV OP, and (3) reduced, but not below zero, by (a) our allocable share of CCPT IV OPs loss and (b) the amount of cash distributed to us, including constructive cash distributions resulting from a reduction in our share of indebtedness of CCPT IV OP.
172
If the allocation of our distributive share of CCPT IV OPs loss would reduce the adjusted tax basis of our partnership interest in CCPT IV OP below zero, the recognition of such loss will be deferred until such time as the recognition of such loss would not reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero. If a distribution from CCPT IV OP or a reduction in our share of CCPT IV OPs liabilities (which is treated as a constructive distribution for tax purposes) would reduce our adjusted tax basis below zero, any such distribution, including a constructive distribution, would constitute taxable income to us. The gain realized by us upon the receipt of any such distribution or constructive distribution would normally be characterized as capital gain, and if our partnership interest in CCPT IV OP has been held for longer than the required long-term capital gain holding period (currently one year), the distribution would constitute long-term capital gain.
Depreciation Deductions Available to the Operating Partnership
CCPT IV OP will use a portion of contributions made by us from offering proceeds to acquire interests in properties. To the extent that CCPT IV OP acquires properties for cash, CCPT IV OPs initial basis in such properties for federal income tax purposes generally will be equal to the purchase price paid by CCPT IV OP. CCPT IV OP plans to depreciate each such depreciable property for federal income tax purposes under the alternative depreciation system of depreciation. Under this system, CCPT IV OP generally will depreciate such buildings and improvements over a 40-year recovery period using a straight-line method and a mid-month convention and will depreciate furnishings and equipment over a 12-year recovery period.
To the extent that CCPT IV OP acquires properties in exchange for its partnership units, CCPT IV OPs initial basis in each such property for federal income tax purposes should be the same as the transferors basis in that property on the date of acquisition by CCPT IV OP. Although the law is not entirely clear, CCPT IV OP generally intends to depreciate such depreciable property for federal income tax purposes over the same remaining useful lives and under the same methods used by the transferors.
Sale of the Operating Partnerships Property
Generally, any gain realized by CCPT IV OP on the sale of property held for more than one year will be long-term capital gain, except for any portion of such gain that is treated as depreciation or cost recovery recapture. Any gain recognized by CCPT IV OP upon the disposition of a property acquired by CCPT IV OP for cash will be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective interests in CCPT IV OP.
Our share of any gain realized by CCPT IV OP on the sale of any property held by CCPT IV OP as inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of CCPT IV OPs trade or business will be treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% penalty tax. We, however, do not currently intend to acquire or hold or allow CCPT IV OP to acquire or hold any property that represents inventory or other property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our or CCPT IV OPs trade or business.
Medicare Tax on Unearned Income
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a U.S. stockholder that is an individual is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. stockholders net investment income for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. stockholders modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individuals circumstances). A U.S. stockholder that is an estate or trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax is subject to the same 3.8% tax on the lesser of its undistributed net investment income and the excess of its adjusted gross income over a certain threshold. A U.S. stockholders net investment income will include, among other things, dividends on and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of our shares. Prospective U.S. stockholders that are individuals, estates or trusts should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this Medicare tax on their ownership and disposition of our common stock.
173
INVESTMENT BY TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES AND ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
General
The following is a summary of some non-tax considerations associated with an investment in our shares by tax-qualified pension, stock bonus or profit-sharing plans, employee benefit plans described in Section 3(3) of ERISA, annuities described in Section 403(a) or (b) of the Internal Revenue Code, an individual retirement account or annuity described in Sections 408 or 408A of the Internal Revenue Code, an Archer MSA described in Section 220(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, a health savings account described in Section 223(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a Coverdell education savings account described in Section 530 of the Internal Revenue Code, which are generally referred to as Plans and IRAs, as applicable. This summary is based on provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, including amendments thereto through the date of this prospectus, and relevant regulations and opinions issued by the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service through the date of this prospectus. We cannot assure you that adverse tax decisions or legislative, regulatory or administrative changes that would significantly modify the statements expressed herein will not occur. Any such changes may or may not apply to transactions entered into prior to the date of their enactment.
This summary does not include a discussion of any laws, regulations, or statutes that may apply to investors not covered by ERISA, including, for example, investors such as plans or arrangements that constitute governmental plans or church plans which are exempt from ERISA and many Internal Revenue Code requirements. For such plans and arrangements, applicable laws (such as state laws) may impose fiduciary responsibility requirements in connection with the investment of assets, and may have prohibitions that operate similarly to the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, but which may also vary significantly from such prohibitions. For any governmental or church plan, or other plans or arrangements not subject to ERISA, those persons responsible for the investment of the assets of such a plan or arrangements should carefully consider the impact of such laws on an investment in shares of our common stock.
Our management has attempted to structure us in such a manner that we will be an attractive investment vehicle for Plans and IRAs. However, in considering an investment in our shares, those involved with making such an investment decision should consider applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA. While each of the ERISA and Internal Revenue Code issues discussed below may not apply to all Plans and IRAs, individuals involved with making investment decisions with respect to Plans and IRAs should carefully review the rules and exceptions described below, and determine their applicability to their situation.
In general, individuals making investment decisions with respect to Plans and IRAs should, at a minimum, consider:
| whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing such Plan or IRA; |
| whether the investment satisfies the prudence and diversification and other fiduciary requirements of ERISA, if applicable; |
| whether the investment will result in UBTI to the Plan or IRA (see Federal Income Tax Considerations Treatment of Tax-Exempt Stockholders); |
| whether there is sufficient liquidity for the Plan or IRA, considering the minimum and other distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the liquidity needs of such Plan or IRA, after taking this investment into account; |
| a need to value the assets of the Plan or IRA annually or more frequently; |
| whether the investment would constitute or give rise to a prohibited transaction under ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code, if applicable; |
| whether the investment is consistent with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and other applicable laws; and |
174
| whether the assets of the entity in which the investment is made will be treated as plan assets of the Plan or IRA investor. |
Additionally, individuals making investment decisions with respect to Plans and IRAs must remember that ERISA requires that the assets of an employee benefit plan must generally be held in trust, and that the trustee, or a duly authorized named fiduciary or investment manager, must have authority and discretion to manage and control the assets of an employee benefit plan.
Minimum and Other Distribution Requirements Plan Liquidity
Potential Plan or IRA investors who intend to purchase our shares should consider the limited liquidity of an investment in our shares as it relates to the minimum distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, if applicable, and as it relates to other distributions (such as, for example, cash out distributions) that may be required under the terms of the Plan or IRA from time to time. If the shares are held in an IRA or Plan and, before we sell our properties, mandatory or other distributions are required to be made to the participant or beneficiary of such IRA or Plan, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, then this would require that a distribution of the shares be made in kind to such participant or beneficiary, or that a rollover of such shares be made to an IRA or other plan, which may not be permissible under the terms and provisions of the IRA or Plan making the distribution or rollover or the IRA or Plan receiving the rollover. Even if permissible, a distribution of shares in kind to a participant or beneficiary of an IRA or Plan must be included in the taxable income of the recipient for the year in which the shares are received at the then current fair market value of the shares, even though there would be no corresponding cash distribution with which to pay the income tax liability arising because of the distribution of shares. See Risk Factors Federal Income Tax Risks. The fair market value of any such distribution-in-kind can be only an estimated value per share because no public market for our shares exists or is likely to develop. See Annual or More Frequent Valuation Requirements below. Further, there can be no assurance that such estimated value could actually be realized by a stockholder because estimates do not necessarily indicate the price at which our shares could be sold. Also, for distributions subject to mandatory income tax withholding under Section 3405 or other tax withholding provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the trustee of a Plan may have an obligation, even in situations involving in-kind distributions of shares, to liquidate a portion of the in-kind shares distributed in order to satisfy such withholding obligations, although there might be no market for such shares. There may also be similar state and/or local tax withholding or other tax obligations that should be considered.
Annual or More Frequent Valuation Requirements
Fiduciaries of Plans may be required to determine the fair market value of the assets of such Plans or IRAs on at least an annual basis and, sometimes, as frequently as daily. If the fair market value of any particular asset is not readily available, the fiduciary is required to make a good faith determination of that assets value. Also, a fiduciary of a Plan must provide a Plan participant with a statement of the value of the Plan every three years, every year, or every quarter, depending upon the type of Plan involved, and, in the case of an IRA, a trustee or custodian of the IRA must provide the Internal Revenue Service with a statement of the value of the IRA each year. However, currently, neither the Internal Revenue Service nor the Department of Labor has promulgated regulations specifying how fair market value should be determined for this purpose.
Unless and until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, we do not expect that a public market for our shares will develop. To assist fiduciaries of Plans subject to the annual reporting requirements of ERISA and IRA trustees or custodians to prepare reports relating to an investment in our shares, we intend to provide reports of our determinations of the current estimated share value to those fiduciaries (including IRA trustees and custodians) who identify themselves to us and request the reports. During this offering, and unless determined otherwise by our board of directors in accordance with our valuation policy, until 18 months after the termination of this offering or the termination of any follow-on offering of our shares, we intend to use the most recent gross offering price of our shares of common stock as the per share value (unless we have made a special
175
distribution to stockholders of net sales proceeds from the sale of one or more properties during such periods, in which case we will use the offering price less the per share amount of the special distribution). Estimates based solely on the most recent offering price of our shares of common stock will not reflect the book value or net asset value of our investments, nor our operating cash flows. Such estimates most likely will not reflect the value per share that you would receive upon our sale or liquidation, and will be subject to other limitations as described in the section of this prospectus captioned Description of Shares Valuation Policy.
Beginning no later than 18 months after the conclusion of this offering or any follow-on offering of our shares, at the determination by our board of directors, our board of directors will disclose a reasonable estimate of the per share value of our common stock that is not based solely on the offering price of our shares. For more information about our valuation policy, see Description of Shares Valuation Policy.
With respect to any estimate of the value of our common stock, there can be no assurance that the estimated value, or method used to estimate value, would be sufficient to enable an ERISA fiduciary or an IRA custodian to comply with the ERISA or other regulatory requirements. The Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a plan fiduciary or an IRA custodian is required to take further steps to determine the value of our shares. Further, there can be no assurance with respect to any estimate of value of our common stock that such estimated value would actually be realized by our stockholders upon liquidation, or that our stockholders would be able to realize such estimated value if they were to attempt to sell their shares, or that such estimated value would be related to any appraisals of our shares or assets.
Fiduciary Obligations Prohibited Transactions
Any person identified as a fiduciary with respect to a Plan incurs duties and obligations under ERISA as discussed herein. For purposes of ERISA, any person who exercises any authority or control with respect to the management or disposition of the assets of a Plan is considered to be a fiduciary of such Plan. Further, many transactions between a Plan or an IRA and a party-in-interest or a disqualified person with respect to such Plan or IRA are prohibited by ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code. ERISA also requires generally that the assets of Plans be held in trust and that the trustee, or a duly authorized investment manager, have exclusive authority and discretion to manage and control the assets of the Plan.
In the event that our properties and other assets were deemed to be assets of a Plan or IRA, referred to herein as plan assets, our directors would, and employees of our affiliates might, be deemed fiduciaries of any Plans or IRAs investing as stockholders. If this were to occur, certain contemplated transactions between us and our directors and employees of our affiliates could be deemed to be prohibited transactions. Additionally, ERISAs fiduciary standards applicable to investments by Plans would extend to our directors and possibly employees of our affiliates as Plan fiduciaries with respect to investments made by us, and the requirement that Plan Assets be held in trust could be deemed to be violated.
Plan Assets Definition
Section 3(42) of ERISA defines Plan Assets in accordance with Department of Labor regulations with certain express exceptions. A Department of Labor regulation, referred to in this discussion as the Plan Asset Regulation, as modified by the express exceptions noted in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, provides guidelines as to whether, and under what circumstances, the underlying assets of an entity will be deemed to constitute Plan Assets. Under the Plan Asset Regulation, the assets of an entity in which a Plan or IRA makes an equity investment will generally be deemed to be assets of such Plan or IRA unless the entity satisfies one of the exceptions to this general rule. Generally, the exceptions require that the investment in the entity be one of the following:
| in securities issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act; |
| in publicly offered securities, defined generally as interests that are freely transferable, widely held and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission; |
176
| in an operating company, which includes venture capital operating companies and real estate operating companies; or |
| in which equity participation by benefit plan investors is not significant. |
Plan Assets Registered Investment Company Exception
The shares we are offering will not be issued by a registered investment company. Therefore we do not anticipate that we will qualify for the exception for investments issued by a registered investment company.
Publicly Offered Securities Exemption
As noted above, if a Plan acquires publicly offered securities, the assets of the issuer of the securities will not be deemed to be Plan Assets under the Plan Asset Regulation. The definition of publicly offered securities requires that such securities be widely held, freely transferable and satisfy registration requirements under federal securities laws.
Under the Plan Asset Regulation, a class of securities will meet the registration requirements under federal securities laws if they are (i) part of a class of securities registered under section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or (ii) part of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the class of securities of which such security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days (or such later time as may be allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer during which the offering of such securities to the public occurred. We anticipate that we will meet the registration requirements under the Plan Asset Regulation. Also under the Plan Asset Regulation, a class of securities will be widely held if it is held by 100 or more persons independent of the issuer. We anticipate that this requirement will be easily met. Although our shares are intended to satisfy the registration requirements under this definition, and we expect that our securities will be widely held, the freely transferable requirement must also be satisfied in order for us to qualify for the publicly offered securities exception.
The Plan Asset Regulation provides that whether a security is freely transferable is a factual question to be determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. Our shares are subject to certain restrictions on transferability typically found in REITs, and are intended to ensure that we continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT. The Plan Asset Regulation provides, however, that where the minimum investment in a public offering of securities is $10,000 or less, the presence of a restriction on transferability intended to prohibit transfers that would result in a termination or reclassification of the entity for state or federal tax purposes will not ordinarily affect a determination that such securities are freely transferable. The allowed restrictions in examples contained in the Plan Asset Regulation are illustrative of restrictions commonly found in REITs that are imposed to comply with state and federal law, to assure continued eligibility for favorable tax treatment and to avoid certain practical administrative problems. The minimum investment in our shares is less than $10,000. Thus, the restrictions imposed in order to maintain our status as a REIT should not prevent the shares from being deemed freely transferable. Therefore, we anticipate that we will meet the publicly offered securities exception, although there are no assurances that we will qualify for this exception.
Plan Assets Operating Company Exception
If we are deemed not to qualify for the publicly offered securities exemption, the Plan Asset Regulation also provides an exception with respect to securities issued by an operating company, which includes venture capital operating companies and real estate operating companies. To constitute a venture capital operating company, generally 50% of more of the assets of the entity must be invested in venture capital investments. A venture capital investment is an investment in an operating company (other than a venture capital operating company) as to which the entity has or obtains direct management rights. To constitute a real estate operating
177
company, generally 50% or more of the assets of an entity must be invested in real estate which is managed or developed and with respect to which such entity has the right to substantially participate directly in the management or development activities.
While the Plan Asset Regulation and relevant opinions issued by the Department of Labor regarding real estate operating companies are not entirely clear as to whether an investment in real estate must be direct, it is common practice to insure that an investment is made either (i) directly into real estate, (ii) through wholly-owned subsidiaries, or (iii) through entities in which all but a de minimis interest is separately held by an affiliate solely to comply with the minimum safe harbor requirements established by the Internal Revenue Service for classification as a partnership for federal tax purposes. We have structured ourselves, and our operating partnership, in this manner in order to enable us to meet the real estate operating company exception. To the extent interests in our operating partnership are obtained by third-party investors, it is possible that the real estate operating company exception will cease to apply to us. However, in such an event we believe that we are structured in a manner which would allow us to meet the venture capital operating company exception because our investment in our operating partnership, an entity investing directly in real estate over which we maintain substantially all of the control over the management and development activities, would constitute a venture capital investment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 50% of our, or our operating partnerships, investment, as the case may be, must be in real estate over which we maintain the right to substantially participate in the management and development activities. An example in the Plan Asset Regulation indicates that if 50% or more of an entitys properties are subject to long-term leases under which substantially all management and maintenance activities with respect to the properties are the responsibility of the lessee, such that the entity merely assumes the risk of ownership of income-producing real property, then the entity may not be eligible for the real estate operating company exception. By contrast, a second example in the Plan Asset Regulation indicates that if 50% or more of an entitys investments are in shopping centers in which individual stores are leased for relatively short periods to various merchants, as opposed to long-term leases where substantially all management and maintenance activities are the responsibility of the lessee, then the entity will likely qualify as a real estate operating company. The second example further provides that the entity may retain contractors, including affiliates, to conduct the management of the properties so long as the entity has the responsibility to supervise and the authority to terminate the contractors. We intend to use contractors over which we have the right to supervise and the authority to terminate. Due to the uncertainty of the application of the standards set forth in the Plan Asset Regulation, there can be no assurance as to our ability to structure our operations, or the operations of our operating partnership, as the case may be, to qualify for the real estate operating company exception.
Plan Assets Not Significant Investment Exception
The Plan Asset Regulation provides that equity participation in an entity by benefit plan investors is significant if at any time 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interests is held by benefit plan investors. The term benefit plan investor is defined to mean an employee benefit plan subject to Part 4 of Title I of ERISA, any plan to which Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code applies and any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a plans investment in such entity. We do not intend to restrict ownership of each class of equity interests held by benefit plan investors to an aggregate value of less than 25% in order to qualify for the exception for investments in which equity participation by benefit plan investors is not significant. In fact, we expect that more than 25% of our outstanding shares of common stock will be held by benefit plan investors.
Consequences of Holding Plan Assets
In the event that our underlying assets were deemed to be Plan Assets under Section 3(42) of ERISA, our management would be treated as fiduciaries with respect to each Plan or IRA stockholder, and an investment in our shares might expose the fiduciaries of the Plan or IRA to co-fiduciary liability under ERISA for any breach
178
by our management of the fiduciary duties mandated under ERISA. Further, if our assets are deemed to be Plan Assets, an investment by a Plan or IRA in our shares might be deemed to result in an impermissible commingling of Plan Assets with other property.
If our management or affiliates were treated as fiduciaries with respect to Plan or IRA stockholders, the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA would apply to any transaction involving our assets. These restrictions could, for example, require that we avoid transactions with entities that are affiliated with our affiliates or us unless such transactions otherwise were exempt, statutorily or administratively, from the prohibitions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, or restructure our activities in order to obtain an administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction restrictions. Alternatively, we might have to provide Plan or IRA stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to us or we might dissolve or terminate.
Prohibited Transactions
Generally, both ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code prohibit Plans and IRAs from engaging in certain transactions involving Plan Assets with specified parties, such as sales or exchanges or leasing of property, loans or other extensions of credit, furnishing goods or services, or transfers to, or use of, Plan Assets. The specified parties are referred to as parties-in-interest under ERISA and as disqualified persons under the Internal Revenue Code. These definitions generally include both parties owning threshold percentage interests in an investment entity and persons providing services to the Plan or IRA, as well as employer sponsors of the Plan or IRA, fiduciaries and other individuals or entities affiliated with the foregoing.
A person generally is a fiduciary with respect to a Plan or IRA for these purposes if, among other things, the person has discretionary authority or control with respect to Plan Assets or provides investment advice for a direct or indirect fee with respect to Plan Assets. Under Department of Labor regulations, a person will be deemed to be providing investment advice if that person renders advice as to the advisability of investing in our shares, and that person regularly provides investment advice to the Plan or IRA pursuant to a mutual agreement or understanding (written or otherwise) that such advice will serve as the primary basis for investment decisions, and that the advice will be individualized for the Plan or IRA based on its particular needs. Thus, if we are deemed to hold Plan Assets, our management could be characterized as fiduciaries with respect to such assets, and each would be deemed to be a party-in-interest under ERISA and a disqualified person under the Internal Revenue Code with respect to investing Plans and IRAs. Whether or not we are deemed to hold Plan Assets, if we or our affiliates are affiliated with a Plan or IRA investor, we might be a disqualified person or party-in-interest with respect to such Plan or IRA investor, resulting in a prohibited transaction merely upon investment by such Plan or IRA in our shares.
Prohibited Transactions Consequences
ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code forbid Plans and IRAs from engaging in prohibited transactions. Fiduciaries of a Plan that allow a prohibited transaction to occur will breach their fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, and may be liable for any damage sustained by the Plan, as well as civil penalties (generally 5% of the amount involved, unless the transaction is not timely corrected, in which case the penalty is 100% of the amount involved). Criminal penalties may also be possible if the violation was willful. If it is determined by the Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service that a prohibited transaction has occurred, any disqualified person or party-in-interest involved with the prohibited transaction would be required to reverse or unwind the transaction and, for a Plan, compensate the Plan for any loss resulting therefrom. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Code requires that a disqualified person involved with a prohibited transaction with a Plan or IRA must pay an excise tax equal to a percentage of the amount involved in the transaction for each year in which the transaction remains uncorrected. The percentage generally is 5%, but is increased to 100% if the prohibited transaction is not timely corrected. For IRAs, if an IRA engages in a prohibited transaction, the tax-exempt status of the IRA may be lost. With respect to an IRA that invests in our shares, the occurrence of a prohibited transaction involving the individual who established the IRA, or his or her beneficiary, could cause the IRA to lose its tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code, and such individual generally would be taxable on the deemed distribution of all the assets in the IRA.

The Offering
We are offering a maximum of 300,000,000 shares of our common stock to the public through Cole Capital Corporation, our dealer manager, a registered broker-dealer affiliated with our advisor. Of this amount, we are offering up to 250,000,000 shares in our primary offering at a price of $10.00 per share, except as provided below. The shares are being offered on a best efforts basis, which generally means that the dealer manager is required to use only its best efforts to sell the shares and it has no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. We also are offering up to 50,000,000 shares for sale pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. The purchase price for shares sold under our distribution reinvestment plan will be $9.50 per share during this offering, and until such time as our board of directors determines a reasonable estimate of the value of our shares. Thereafter, the purchase price per share under our distribution reinvestment plan will be the most recent estimated value per share as determined by our board of directors. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees will be paid with respect to these shares. We reserve the right to reallocate the shares of our common stock we are offering between the primary offering and our distribution reinvestment plan. The offering of shares of our common stock will terminate on or before January 26, 2014, which is two years after the effective date of this offering; provided, however, that our board of directors may extend the primary offering. If we decide to extend the primary offering beyond January 26, 2014, we will provide that information in a prospectus supplement; however, in no event will we extend this offering beyond 180 days after the third anniversary of the initial effective date. In addition, at the discretion of our board of directors, we may elect to extend the termination date of our offering of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, or to file a new registration statement in connection with our distribution reinvestment plan, until we have sold all shares allocated to such plan, in which case participants in the plan will be notified. This offering must be registered, or exempt from registration, in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, such registrations are for a period of one year. Therefore, we may have to stop selling shares in any state in which our registration is not renewed or otherwise extended annually. We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time prior to the stated termination date.
Cole Capital Corporation
Cole Capital Corporation, our dealer manager, was organized in 1992 for the purpose of participating in and facilitating the distribution of securities in programs sponsored by Cole Capital Partners, its affiliates and its predecessors. Our dealer manager is an affiliate of our advisor and, as a result, is not in a position to make an independent review of us or this offering. Accordingly, you will have to rely on your own broker-dealer to make an independent review of the terms of this offering. If your broker-dealer conducts an independent review of this offering, and/or engages an independent due diligence reviewer to do so on its behalf, we expect that we will pay or reimburse the expenses associated with such review, which may create conflicts of interest. If your broker-dealer does not conduct such a review, you will not have the benefit of an independent review of the terms of this offering. For additional information about Cole Capital Corporation, including information relating to Cole Capital Corporations affiliation with us, see the Management Affiliated Dealer Manager section of this prospectus.
Compensation We Will Pay for the Sale of Our Shares
Except as provided below, we generally will pay to our affiliated dealer manager, Cole Capital Corporation, selling commissions in the amount of 7% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering. We also will pay the dealer manager a fee in the amount of 2% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering as compensation for acting as the dealer manager and for expenses incurred in connection with marketing and due diligence expense reimbursement. No sales commissions or dealer manager fees will be paid with respect to shares purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. We will not pay referral or similar fees to any accountants, attorneys or other persons in connection with the distribution of the shares.
180
The total amount of underwriting compensation, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other expenses paid or reimbursed by us, our sponsor or any other source in connection with the offering, will not exceed 10% of the gross proceeds of the primary offering. Our dealer manager is responsible for monitoring the total underwriting compensation to ensure that such amounts do not exceed 10% of the gross proceeds of the primary offering.
The dealer manager will reallow to other broker-dealers participating in this offering all of the selling commissions paid to the dealer manager in respect of shares sold by such participating broker-dealers. In addition, the dealer manager may reallow to each of the participating broker-dealers all or a portion of the dealer manager fee earned on the proceeds raised by the participating broker-dealer. This reallowance would be in the form of a non-accountable marketing allowance and due diligence expense reimbursement. The amount of the reallowance will be determined by the dealer manager based upon a number of factors including the number of shares sold by the participating broker-dealer in this offering, the broker-dealers level of marketing support, and bona fide conference fees incurred, each as compared to those of the other participating broker-dealers.
We expect our dealer manager to utilize two distribution channels to sell our shares, FINRA-registered broker-dealers and non-registered investment advisory representatives. In the event of the sale of shares in our primary offering by broker-dealers that are members of FINRA, the purchase price generally will be $10.00 per share. Selling commissions and dealer manager fees generally will be paid in connection with such sales as set forth in the table below. In the event of the sale of shares in our primary offering through an investment advisory representative, the purchase price for such shares will be $9.30 per share, reflecting the fact that we will not pay our dealer manager the 7% selling commission on such shares, as described in more detail below. All such sales must be made through a registered broker-dealer of record.

We will not pay any selling commissions in connection with the sale of shares to investors whose contracts for investment advisory and related brokerage services include a fixed or wrap fee feature. In instances where the investment advisory representative is affiliated with a participating broker-dealer, investors may agree with their participating brokers to reduce the amount of selling commissions payable with respect to the sale of their shares down to zero (a) if the investor has engaged the services of a registered investment advisor or other financial advisor who will be paid compensation for investment advisory services or other financial or investment advice or (b) if the investor is investing through a bank trust account with respect to which the investor has delegated the decision-making authority for investments made through the account to a bank trust department. The net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing the commissions payable in connection with such transaction. All investors will be deemed to have contributed the same amount per share to us for purposes of declaring and paying distributions. Neither our dealer manager nor its affiliates will directly or indirectly compensate any person engaged as an investment advisor or a bank trust department by a potential investor as an
181
inducement for such investment advisor or bank trust department to advise favorably for an investment in our shares. In connection with the sale of shares to investors who elect the fixed or wrap fee feature, the dealer manager may pay to the investment advisor or other financial advisor or the company that sponsors the wrap account, marketing support, service or other denominated fees. In all events, the amount of the dealer manager fee and any services or other fee paid in connection with the sale of shares to investors whose contracts for investment advisor or related brokerage services include a fixed or wrap fee feature will not exceed 10% of the gross proceeds of the shares acquired by such investors.
We may sell shares in our primary offering to retirement plans of broker-dealers participating in the offering, to broker-dealers in their individual capacities, to IRAs and qualified plans of their registered representatives or to any one of their registered representatives in their individual capacities (and their spouses, parents and minor children) at a discount. The purchase price for such shares will be $9.30 per share, reflecting the fact that selling commissions in the amount of $0.70 per share will not be payable in connection with such sales. The net proceeds to us from such sales will not be affected by such sales of shares at a discount.
We or our affiliates also may provide permissible forms of non-cash compensation to registered representatives of our dealer manager and the participating broker-dealers, such as golf shirts, fruit baskets, cakes, chocolates, a bottle of wine, or tickets to a sporting event. In no event shall such items exceed an aggregate value of $100 per annum per participating salesperson, or be pre-conditioned on achievement of a sales target. The value of such items will be considered underwriting compensation in connection with this offering.
We have agreed to indemnify the participating broker-dealers, including our dealer manager and selected registered investment advisors, against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that indemnification against liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and is unenforceable.
In addition to the compensation described above, our sponsor may pay certain costs associated with the sale and distribution of our shares. Such payments will be deemed to be underwriting compensation by FINRA. In accordance with the rules of FINRA, the table below sets forth the nature and estimated amount of all items that will be viewed as underwriting compensation by FINRA that are anticipated to be paid by us and our sponsor in connection with the offering. The amounts shown assume we sell all of the shares offered hereby and that all shares are sold in our primary offering through participating broker-dealers, which is the distribution channel with the highest possible selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

The remaining $25,000,000 (approximately 1% of gross offering proceeds, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan) in expenses will be paid for reimbursements of other organization and offering expenses. |
It is important to note that we are permitted to reimburse our advisor an amount up to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan, for other organization and offering expenses, which includes both underwriting and non-underwriting expenses. As shown in the Management Compensation table elsewhere in this prospectus, we expect to reimburse non-underwriting organization and offering expenses up to $34,500,000. In no event will the total amount of underwriting compensation paid by us in the form of organization and offering expense reimbursements exceed an amount equal to 1% of the gross offering proceeds, excluding proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan.
Shares Purchased by Affiliates
Our executive officers and directors, as well as officers and employees of CR IV Advisors and their family members (including spouses, parents, grandparents, children and siblings) or other affiliates, may purchase shares in the primary offering at a discount. The purchase price for such shares will be $9.10 per share, reflecting the fact that the 7% selling commission and the 2% dealer manager fee will not be payable in connection with such sales. The net offering proceeds we receive will not be affected by such sales of shares at a discount. Our executive officers, directors and other affiliates will be expected to hold their shares purchased as stockholders for investment and not with a view towards resale. In addition, shares purchased by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates will not be entitled to vote on any matter presented to the stockholders for a vote regarding the removal of our advisor or any director or any of their affiliates, or any transaction between us and any of them. Shares purchased by our executive officers, directors, advisor and any of their affiliates will not be subject to a lock-up agreement. With the exception of the 20,000 shares initially sold to Cole Holdings Corporation in connection with our organization, no director, officer, advisor or any affiliate may own more than 9.8% (in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to our charter, Cole Holdings Corporation is prohibited from selling the 20,000 shares of our common stock for so long as Cole Real Estate Investments remains our sponsor; provided, however, that Cole Holdings Corporation may transfer ownership of all or a portion of the 20,000 shares of our common stock to other affiliates of our sponsor.
Volume Discounts
We generally will pay to our affiliated dealer manager, Cole Capital Corporation, a selling commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering. However, the selling commission we will pay in respect of purchases of $500,001 or more will be reduced with respect to the dollar volume of the purchase in excess of that amount. Volume discounts reduce the effective purchase price per share of common stock, allowing large volume purchasers to acquire more shares with their investment than would be possible if the full 7% selling commission was paid. Volume discounts will be made available to purchasers in accordance with the following table, based upon our $10.00 per share offering price:

For example, a purchaser who invests $600,000 will be entitled to a discounted selling commission of 6% on the shares purchased in excess of $500,000, reducing the effective purchase price per share on the shares purchased in excess of $500,000 from $10 per share to $9.90 per share. Thus, a $600,000 investment would purchase 60,601 shares. As another example, for a subscription amount of $1,500,000, the selling commission for the first $500,000 is 7%; the discounted selling commission for the next $500,000 (up to $1,000,000) is 6%; and the discounted selling commission for the remaining $500,000 of the subscription amount is 5%.
In its sole discretion, our sponsor may agree to pay a participating broker-dealer all or a portion of the difference between the 7% selling commission and the discounted selling commission.
In addition, in order to encourage investments of more than $4,000,000, Cole Capital Corporation, with the agreement of the participating broker-dealer, may further agree to reduce or eliminate the dealer manager fee and/or the selling commission with respect to such investments.
The net proceeds to us will not be affected by volume discounts. All investors will be deemed to have contributed the same amount per share to us for purposes of declaring and paying distributions. Therefore, an investor who has received a volume discount will realize a better return on his or her investment in our shares than investors who do not qualify for a discount.
Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of determining the volume discounts in the case of subscriptions made by any purchaser, as that term is defined below. Any request to combine more than one subscription must be made in writing, submitted simultaneously with the subscription for shares, and must set forth the basis for such request. Any request for volume discounts will be subject to our verification that all of the combined subscriptions were made by a single purchaser.
For the purposes of such volume discounts, the term purchaser includes:
| an individual, his or her spouse and their children under the age of 21 who purchase the shares for his, her or their own account; |
| a corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust fund or any organized group of persons, whether incorporated or not; |
| an employees trust, pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; and |
| all commingled trust funds maintained by a given bank. |
In addition, investors may request in writing to aggregate new or previous subscriptions in us and/or in other Cole-sponsored publicly offered programs that are not valued daily (collectively, Eligible Programs) for purposes of determining the dollar amount of shares purchased and any resulting volume discount. For example, if you previously purchased and still hold shares of our company or another Eligible Program with an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, and subsequently invest $100,000 in us and $100,000 in another Eligible Program, you may request a reduction in the selling commission on the $200,000 in new investments from 7% to 6%. Such requests may be made with respect to purchases by a single purchaser as defined above. For purposes of this paragraph, the dollar amount of new or previous subscriptions in Eligible Programs shall be the total purchase price paid for the shares before the deduction of selling commissions or dealer manager fees. Previous subscriptions will be counted only if the purchaser still holds the shares. Shares purchased pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (on which selling commissions and dealer manager fees are not paid) will not be counted toward the amount of previous subscriptions. Any request for a volume discount pursuant to this paragraph must be submitted with the order for which the discount is being requested, and will be subject to verification of the purchasers holdings.
184
Minimum Purchase Requirement
The minimum investment generally is 250 shares. You may not transfer any of your shares if such transfer would result in your owning less than the minimum investment amount, unless you transfer all of your shares. In addition, you may not transfer or subdivide your shares so as to retain less than the number of shares required for the minimum purchase. In order to satisfy the minimum purchase requirements for retirement plans, unless otherwise prohibited by state law, a husband and wife may jointly contribute funds from their separate IRAs, provided that each such contribution is made in increments of $1,000. You should note that an investment in shares of our common stock will not, in itself, create a retirement plan and that, in order to create a retirement plan, you must comply with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
After you have purchased the minimum investment amount in this offering or have satisfied the minimum purchase requirement of any other Cole-sponsored public real estate program, any additional purchase must be in increments of at least 100 shares or made pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which may be in lesser amounts.
Certain Selected Dealers
Our dealer manager may, from time to time, enter into selected dealer agreements that provide for a selling commission of up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold by such selected dealer, and a dealer manager fee of up to 3% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold by such selected dealer. The dealer manager may reallow up to all of the dealer manager fee to such selected dealers. In no event will the aggregate of the selling commissions and the dealer manager fee be greater than 9% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold by such selected dealer. The aggregate amount of selling commissions and the dealer manager fee that an investor would pay would not be affected by this change. In addition or alternatively, our dealer manager may enter into selected dealer agreements that provide for a selling commission of less than 7% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold by such selected dealer, with no corresponding increase in the dealer manager fee. Under this arrangement, the aggregate amount of selling commissions and the dealer manager fee that an investor would pay would be less than 9% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold by such selected dealer, reducing the effective purchase price per share paid by such investor to an amount less than $10.00 per share. The net proceeds to us will not be affected by either of these arrangements. For purposes of calculations in this Plan of Distribution section and elsewhere in this prospectus, we have assumed a selling commission of 7% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering and a dealer manager fee of 2% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering.
185

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.)
Phoenix, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.) and subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheets are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated balance sheets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
(Formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.) (the Company) was formed on July 27, 2010 and is a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 99.9% partnership interest in Cole Operating Partnership IV LP, a Delaware limited partnership (CCPT IV OP). Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (CR IV Advisors), the advisor to the Company, is the sole limited partner and owner of an insignificant noncontrolling partnership interest of less than 0.1% of CCPT IV OP. Substantially all of the Companys business will be conducted through CCPT IV OP. The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a public offering (the Offering) of $2.975 billion in shares of common stock.
A maximum of $2.5 billion in shares of common stock may be sold to the public. In addition, the Company plans to register an additional $475 million in shares of common stock that will be available only to stockholders who elect to participate in the Companys distribution reinvestment plan under which stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Companys common stock at $9.50 per share during the Offering or if after the time the Companys board of directors has conducted a full valuation of the Companys assets and has made a reasonable estimate of the value of the shares of common stock, then the shares of common stock will be offered at a purchase price equal to the most recently disclosed per share value.
The Company intends to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of (1) necessity retail properties that are single-tenant and multi-tenant power centers, which are anchored by brand-name creditworthy national or regional retailers under long-term net leases, and are strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates, (2) income producing properties in other sectors, such as office and industrial properties, which may share certain core characteristics with the Companys retail properties, (3) other real estate related assets, such as equity and debt securities of other real estate companies, commercial mortgage-backed securities and notes receivable secured by commercial real estate and (4) cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments.
The Company and its majority owned subsidiary have not begun their principal operations.
The Company changed its name from Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc. to Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. effective May 20, 2011. In addition, on May 20, 2011, the Companys operating partnership changed its name from Cole Advisor Retail Income Operating Partnership, LP to Cole Operating Partnership IV LP, and the Companys advisor changed its name from Cole Advisors: Retail Income, LLC to Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated balance sheets were available for issuance.
NOTE 2 CAPITALIZATION
The Company is authorized to issue 490,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. All shares of such stock have a par value of $.01 per share. On August 11, 2010, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock, at $10.00 per share, to Cole Holdings Corporation, the indirect owner of the Companys advisor and manager. The Companys Board of Directors may authorize additional shares of capital stock and amend their terms without obtaining stockholder approval.

COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
(Formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (Continued)
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company considers investments in highly liquid money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
Organization and Offering Expenses
The Companys advisor funds all of the organization and offering expenses on the Companys behalf and may be reimbursed for such costs up to 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. These costs are not included in the balance sheet of the Company because such costs are not a liability of the Company until subscriptions for the minimum number of shares of common stock are received and accepted by the Company. When recorded by the Company, organization costs will be expensed as incurred. Offering costs include items such as legal and accounting fees, marketing, promotional and printing costs. All offering costs will be recorded as a reduction of capital in excess of par value. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, CR IV Advisors had incurred approximately $819,000 and $523,000, respectively, of costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, Cole Advisors incurred approximately $23,000 of additional costs related to the Offering.
Income Taxes
The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its taxable income to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY ARRANGEMENTS
Certain affiliates of the Company will receive fees and compensation in connection with the Offering, and the acquisition, management and sale of the assets of the Company. Cole Capital Corporation (Cole Capital), the affiliated dealer-manager, will receive a commission of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of our primary offering 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 the gross proceeds of our primary offering 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.
CR IV Advisors may receive up to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan, for reimbursement of organization and offering expenses. All

(Formerly Cole Advisor Retail Income REIT, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (Continued)
organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and the dealer-manager fee) are being paid for by CR IV Advisors and could be reimbursed by the Company up to 2.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan.
CR IV Advisors or its affiliates also will receive acquisition fees of up to 2% of: (i) the contract purchase price of each property or asset the Company acquires; (ii) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset the Company acquires; (iii) the purchase price of any loan the Company acquires; and (iv) the principal amount of any loan the Company originates.
If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Companys independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliate 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 CR IV 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.
The Company will pay CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee based upon the Companys monthly average invested assets, which is equal to the following amounts: (i) an annualized rate of 0.75% will be paid on the Companys average invested assets that are between $0 to $2 billion; (ii) an annualized rate of 0.70% will be paid on the Companys average invested assets that are between $2 billion to $4 billion; and (iii) an annualized rate of 0.65% will be paid on the Companys average invested assets that are over $4 billion.
The Company will reimburse CR IV Advisors for the expenses it paid or incurred in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the advisory fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of (i) 2% of average invested assets, or (ii) 25% of net income other than any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. The Company will not reimburse for personnel costs in connection with services for which CR IV Advisors receives acquisition fees or disposition fees.
If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CR IV 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 Companys shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15% of the amount by which the market value of the Companys 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, CR IV Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to that to which CR IV Advisors would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination.

As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon CR IV Advisors and its affiliates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (the Company) was formed on July 27, 2010 and is a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ending December 31, 2012. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 99.9% partnership interest in Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (CCPT IV OP). Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (CR IV Advisors), the affiliated advisor to the Company, is the sole limited partner and owner of an insignificant noncontrolling partnership interest of 0.1% of CCPT IV OP. Substantially all of the Companys business is conducted through CCPT IV OP.
On January 26, 2012, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Registration Statement) the Company commenced its initial public offering on a best efforts basis of a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 250.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, and up to 50.0 million additional shares to be issued pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the DRIP) under which the Companys stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share (the Offering).
On April 13, 2012, the Company issued 308,000 shares of its common stock in the Offering and commenced principal operations. The Company has special escrow provisions for residents of Pennsylvania which have not been satisfied as of June 30, 2012 and, therefore, it has not accepted subscriptions from residents of Pennsylvania. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had issued approximately 4.5 million shares of its common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $45.1 million before offering costs and selling commissions of $4.8 million. The Company intends to continue to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of core commercial real estate investments primarily consisting of necessity retail properties located throughout the United States, including U.S. protectorates. The Company expects that the retail properties primarily will be single-tenant properties and multi-tenant power centers anchored by large, creditworthy national or regional retailers. The Company expects that the retail properties typically will be subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for most of the expenses of maintaining the property. As of June 30, 2012, the Company owned 16 properties, comprising 283,000 rentable square feet of commercial space located in 12 states. As of June 30, 2012, the rentable space at these properties was 99.6% leased.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this prospectus should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated balance sheet and related notes thereto included in the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-11 as declared effective on January 26, 2012. Consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2011 have not been presented because the Company had not commenced its principal operations during such period.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets
Real estate and related assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate and related assets consist of the cost of acquisition, excluding acquisition related expenses, construction and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate and related assets and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life of the assets. Real estate and related assets, other than land, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the Companys real estate and related assets by class are generally as follows:
Building and capital improvements |
40 years | |
Tenant improvements |
Lesser of useful life or lease term | |
Intangible lease assets |
Lease term |
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a propertys major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors, a significant decrease in a propertys revenues due to lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate and related assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. No impairment indicators were identified or losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
When developing estimates of expected future cash flows, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the expected number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in estimating expected future cash flows could result in a different determination of the propertys expected future cash flows and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the fair value of the real estate and related assets.
When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate the fair value, net of selling costs. If, in managements opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2012
asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of June 30, 2012.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above market and below market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their respective fair values. Acquisition related expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building). The Company obtains an independent appraisal for each real property acquisition. The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Companys management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Companys management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in managements allocation decisions other than providing this market information.
The fair values of above market and below market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods, with respect to a below market lease. The above market and below market lease values are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities, respectively. Above market lease values are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. In considering whether or not the Company expects a tenant to execute a bargain renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition, such as the financial strength of the tenant, remaining lease term, the tenant mix of the leased property, the Companys relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above market or below market lease values relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.
The fair values of in-place leases include estimates of direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant and opportunity costs associated with lost rental and other property income, which are avoided by acquiring a property with an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions and other direct costs and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and managements consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The intangible values of opportunity costs, which are calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease, are capitalized as intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.
The Company will estimate the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of current market pricing for similar types of debt financing with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable will initially be recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the mortgage notes outstanding principal balance will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective mortgage note payable.
FS-14
COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2012
The determination of the fair values of the real estate and related assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Companys purchase price, which could impact the Companys results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company considers investments in highly liquid money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash as of June 30, 2012 consisted of escrowed investor proceeds of $90,000 for which shares of common stock had not been issued. The Company had no restricted cash as of December 31, 2011.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related financing arrangement, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $37,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no deferred financing costs or related amortization as of December 31, 2011.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no cash on deposit in excess of federally insured levels. The Company limits significant cash investments to accounts held by financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.
As of June 30, 2012, Walgreen Co. and Nordstrom, Inc. accounted for 27% and 19%, respectively, and HEB Grocery Company, LP and CVS Caremark Corporation each accounted for 16% of the Companys 2012 gross annualized rental revenues. The Company also had certain geographic concentrations in its property holdings. In particular, as of June 30, 2012, four of the Companys properties were located in Texas and one was located in Florida, which accounted for 29% and 19%, respectively, of the Companys 2012 gross annualized rental revenues. In addition, the Company had tenants in the drugstore, apparel and grocery industries, which comprised 43%, 20% and 16%, respectively, of the Companys 2012 gross annualized rental revenues.
Revenue Recognition
Certain properties have leases where minimum rental payments increase during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of determining this calculation. The Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Expected reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in tenant reimbursement income in the period when such costs are incurred.

June 30, 2012
Income Taxes
The Company intends to qualify and elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it, among other things, distributes its taxable income to its stockholders and it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it or its subsidiaries may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
Offering and Related Costs
CR IV Advisors funds all of the organization and offering costs on the Companys behalf and may be reimbursed for such costs up to 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering (excluding selling commissions and the dealer-manager fee). As of June 30, 2012, CR IV Advisors had incurred $2.1 million of costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering, of which the Company had reimbursed $906,000. The remaining $1.2 million of costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering were not included in the financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2012 because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. This amount will become payable to CR IV Advisors as the Company raises additional proceeds in the Offering. When recorded by the Company, organization costs are expensed as incurred and the offering costs, which include items such as legal and accounting fees, marketing and personnel, promotional and printing costs, are recorded as a reduction of capital in excess of par value along with selling commissions and dealer manager fees in the period in which they become payable.
Due to Affiliates
Certain affiliates of the Company received, and will continue to receive fees, reimbursements and compensation in connection with the Offering and the acquisition, management, financing and leasing of the properties of the Company. As of June 30, 2012, $130,000 was due to CR IV Advisors, as discussed in Note 7 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this prospectus.
Stockholders Equity
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company was authorized to issue 490.0 million shares of common stock and 10.0 million shares of preferred stock. All shares of such stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. On August 11, 2010, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock, at $10.00 per share, to Cole Holdings Corporation, the indirect owner of the Companys advisor and dealer-manager. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately 4.6 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Companys board of directors may amend the charter to authorize the issuance of additional shares of capital stock without obtaining shareholder approval. The par value of investor proceeds raised from the Offering is classified as common stock, with the remainder allocated to capital in excess of par value.
Reportable Segments
The Companys operating segment consists of commercial properties, which include activities related to investing in real estate such as retail, office and distribution properties and other real estate related assets. The
FS-16
COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
June 30, 2012
commercial properties are geographically diversified throughout the United States, and the Companys chief operating decision maker evaluates operating performance on an overall portfolio level. These commercial properties have similar economic characteristics; therefore, the Companys properties are one reportable segment.
Interest
Interest is charged to interest expense as it accrues. No interest costs were capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Distributions Payable and Distribution Policy
In order to qualify and maintain its status as a REIT, the Company is required to, among other things, make distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90% of its taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). To the extent that funds are available, the Company intends to pay regular distributions to stockholders. Distributions are paid to stockholders of record as of applicable record dates. The Company intends to qualify and elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012; however, the Company has not yet elected, and has not yet qualified, to be taxed as a REIT.
The Companys board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 366 days in the calendar year, of $0.001707848 per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing April 14, 2012, the first day following the release from escrow of the subscription proceeds received in the Offering, and ending on September 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had distributions payable of $175,000. The distributions were paid in July 2012, of which $81,000 was reinvested in shares through the DRIP. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no distributions payable.
Redeemable Common Stock
Under the Companys share redemption program, the Companys requirement to redeem its shares is limited to the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity in its consolidated balance sheets because the shares are mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption will be outside the control of the Company. As of June 30, 2012, the Company issued approximately 4,700 shares of common stock under the DRIP for cumulative proceeds of $44,000 and had not redeemed any shares. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not issued shares of common stock under the DRIP and had not redeemed any shares. Changes in the amount of redeemable common stock from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which requires the presentation of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements or disclosures, because the Companys net loss equals its comprehensive loss.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e. interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Companys assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers the carrying values of these financial assets to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization.
Credit Facility The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of June 30, 2012. The estimated fair value of the Companys debt was $27.7 million as of June 30, 2012, which approximated the carrying value on such date. The Company had no amounts outstanding on the credit facility as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of the Companys debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2012, there have been no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between levels.

NOTE 5 CREDIT FACILITY
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $27.7 million of debt outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan Chase) as administrative agent. The Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $50.0 million in revolving loans (the Revolving Loans), with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed (1) 70% of the aggregate value allocated to each qualified property comprising the borrowing base (the Borrowing Base) during the period from April 13, 2012 through October 12, 2012 (the Tier One Period); (2) 65% of the value allocated to the Borrowing Base during the period from October 13, 2012 to April 12, 2013 (the Tier Two Period); and (3) 60% of the value allocated to the Borrowing Base during the period from April 13, 2013 through April 13, 2015 (the Tier Three Period). As of June 30, 2012, the allowable borrowings under the Borrowing Base of the Credit Facility was approximately $32.8 million based on the underlying collateral pool for qualified properties. Subject to meeting certain conditions described in the credit agreement for the Credit Facility (the Credit Agreement) and the payment of certain fees, the amount of the Credit Facility may be increased up to a maximum of $250.0 million (the Accordion Feature). The Credit Facility matures on April 13, 2015.

The Revolving Loans will bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by the Company. For a Eurodollar rate loan, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the interest rate will be equal to the one-month LIBOR (the Eurodollar Rate) for the interest period, plus the applicable rate (the Eurodollar Applicable Rate). The Eurodollar Applicable Rate is based upon the applicable period then in effect, and ranges from 2.40% during the Tier Three Period to 2.70% during the Tier One Period. For floating rate loans, the interest rate will be a per annum amount equal to the applicable rate (the Floating Applicable Rate) plus the greatest of (1) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; (2) JPMorgan Chases Prime Rate; or (3) LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Floating Applicable Rate is based upon the applicable period then in effect, and ranges from 1.40% during the Tier Three Period to 1.70% during the Tier One Period. As of June 30, 2012, the Revolving Loans had a weighted average interest rate 3.43%.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage ratio requirements and dividend payout and REIT status requirements. Based on the Companys analysis and review of its results of operations and financial condition, the Company believes it was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2012.
Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company exercised the Accordion Feature and entered into an amended and restated secured revolving credit agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement), which amended and restated the Credit Agreement in its entirety (the Amended Credit Facility). The Amended Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $250.0 million in revolving loans (the Amended Revolving Loans), with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (1) 65% of the cost or appraised value of qualified properties as determined by the administrative agent (the Amended Borrowing Base). The Amended Revolving Loans will bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by the Company. For a Eurodollar rate loan, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, the interest rate will be equal to the LIBOR for the interest period, plus 2.35%. For floating rate loans, the interest rate will be a per annum amount equal to 1.35% plus the greatest of (1) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; (2) JPMorgan Chases Prime Rate; or (3) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Amended Credit Facility matures on July 13, 2015. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement modified the terms of the Accordion Feature, allowing the amount of the Credit Facility to be increased up to a maximum of $400.0 million, subject to meeting certain conditions described in the Amended Credit Agreement and the payment of certain fees.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company entered into a $10.0 million subordinate revolving line of credit with Series C, LLC, an affiliate of CR IV Advisors (Series C), (the Series C Loan). The Series C Loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.5% with accrued interest payable monthly in arrears and principal due upon maturity on April 12, 2013. The Series C Loan was approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than a comparable loan between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances. The Series C Loan was repaid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2012, with proceeds from the Offering.

Offering
In connection with the Offering, Cole Capital Corporation (Cole Capital), the Companys dealer-manager, which is affiliated with its advisor, receives a selling commission of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. Cole Capital has reallowed and intends to continue to reallow 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers.

As of June 30, 2012, CR IV Advisors had paid organization and offering costs of $2.1 million in connection with the Offering, of which $1.2 million was not included in the financial statements of the Company because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. This amount may become payable to CR IV Advisors as the Company continues to raise additional proceeds in the Offering.

Liquidation/Listing
If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Companys independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliate 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 1.0% of the contract price of the property sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to CR IV 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 6.0% of the contract sales price.

After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any material factors relating to the AA North Ridgeville Property that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
Because the AA North Ridgeville Property is 100% leased to a single tenant on a long-term basis under a net lease whereby substantially all of the operating costs are the responsibility of the tenant, the Company believes that the financial condition and results of operations of the tenant are more relevant to investors than the financial statements of the AA North Ridgeville Property, and enable investors to evaluate the creditworthiness of the lessee. Additionally, because the AA North Ridgeville Property is subject to a net lease, the historical property financial statements provide limited information other than rental income.

In evaluating the NR Tampa Property as a potential acquisition, including the determination of the appropriate purchase price for the NR Tampa Property, the Company considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the property; the terms of the existing leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant; property location, visibility and access; age of the property, physical condition and curb appeal; neighboring property uses; local market conditions, including vacancy rates; area demographics, including trade area population and average household income; and neighborhood growth patterns and economic conditions. After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any material factors relating to the NR Tampa Property that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
Because the NR Tampa Property is 100% leased to a single tenant on a long-term basis under a net lease whereby substantially all of the operating costs are the responsibility of the tenant, the Company believes that the financial condition and results of operations of the tenant are more relevant to investors than the financial statements of the NR Tampa Property, and enable investors to evaluate the creditworthiness of the lessee. Additionally, because the NR Tampa Property is subject to a net lease, the historical property financial statements provide limited information other than rental income. As a result, pursuant to the guidance provided by the SEC, we have provided summarized consolidated financial information of the lessee of the acquired property.

PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES
The prior performance tables that follow present certain information regarding certain real estate programs previously sponsored by entities affiliated with our sponsor, Cole Real Estate Investments. The Company has presented all prior programs subject to public reporting requirements (Prior Public Real Estate Programs) that have similar investment objectives to this offering. In determining which Prior Public Real Estate Programs have similar investment objectives to this offering, the Company considered factors such as the type of real estate acquired by the program, the extent to which the program was designed to provide current income through the payment of cash distributions or to protect and preserve capital contributions, and the extent to which the program seeks to increase the value of the investments made in the program. The information in this section should be read together with the summary information in this prospectus under Prior Performance Summary.
These tables contain information that may aid a potential investor in evaluating the program presented. However, the information contained in these tables does not relate to the properties held or to be held by us, and the purchase of our shares will not create any ownership interest in the programs included in these tables.
The following tables are included in this section:
| Table I Experience in Raising and Investing Funds; |
| Table II Compensation to Sponsor; |
| Table III Operating Results of Prior Programs; and |
| Table V Sales or Disposals of Properties. |
Table IV (Results of Completed Programs) has been omitted since none of the Prior Public Real Estate Programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments have completed their operations and sold all of their properties during the five years ended December 31, 2011.
For information regarding the acquisitions of properties by Prior Public Real Estate Programs sponsored by Cole Real Estate Investments during the three years ended December 31, 2011, see Table VI contained in Part II of our registration statement, which is not a part of this prospectus. We will provide a copy of Table VI to you upon written request and without charge.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

estimated value as determined in accordance with the Valuation Policy less the aggregate distributions per Share of any net sale proceeds from the sale of one or more of the Companys assets, or other special distributions so designated by the Board, distributed to stockholders. No advance notice of pricing pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a) shall be required other than to the extent the issue is a material event requiring the public filing of a Form 8-K.
(b) After termination of the Registration Statement, the Administrator will invest Distributions in Shares that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) pursuant to an effective registration statement for Shares for use in the Plan (a Future Registration). No advance notice of pricing pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) shall be required other than to the extent the issue is a material event requiring the public filing of a Form 8-K.
(c) Selling commissions will not be paid for the Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan.
(d) Dealer manager fees will not be paid for the Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan.
(e) For each Participant, the Administrator will maintain an account which shall reflect for each period in which Distributions are paid (a Distribution Period) the Distributions received by the Administrator on behalf of such Participant. A Participants account shall be reduced as purchases of Shares are made on behalf of such Participant.
(f) Distributions shall be invested in Shares by the Administrator promptly following the payment date with respect to such Distributions to the extent Shares are available for purchase under the Plan. If sufficient Shares are not available, any such funds that have not been invested in Shares within 30 days after receipt by the Administrator and, in any event, by the end of the fiscal quarter in which they are received, will be distributed to Participants. Any interest earned on such accounts will be returned to the respective Participant.
(g) Participants may acquire fractional Shares, computed to three decimal places, so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. The ownership of the Shares shall be reflected on the books of the Company or its transfer agent.
(h) A Participant will not be able to acquire Shares under the Plan to the extent that such purchase would cause the Participant to exceed the ownership limits set forth in the Companys charter, as amended, unless exempted by the Board.
4. Absence of Liability. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall have any responsibility or liability as to the value of the Shares or any change in the value of the Shares acquired for the Participants account. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act hereunder.
5. [intentionally omitted]
6. Reports to Participants. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, the Administrator will mail to each Participant a statement of account describing, as to such Participant, the Distributions received, the number of Shares purchased and the per Share purchase price for such Shares pursuant to the Plan during the prior year. Each statement also shall advise the Participant that, in accordance with Section 5 hereof, the Participant is required to notify the Administrator in the event there is any material change in the Participants financial condition or if any representation made by the Participant under the subscription agreement for the Participants initial purchase of Securities becomes inaccurate. Tax information regarding a Participants participation in the Plan will be sent to each Participant by the Company or the Administrator at least annually.
7. Taxes. Taxable Participants may incur a tax liability for Distributions even though they have elected not to receive their Distributions in cash but rather to have their Distributions reinvested in Shares under the Plan.
G-2
8. Reinvestment in Subsequent Programs.
(a) After the termination of the Companys Offering of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, as may be amended or supplemented, the Company may determine, in its sole discretion, to cause the Administrator to provide to each Participant notice of the opportunity to have some or all of such Participants Distributions (at the discretion of the Administrator and, if applicable, the Participant) invested through the Plan in any publicly offered Affiliated Program (a Subsequent Program). If the Company makes such an election, Participants may invest Distributions in equity securities issued by such Subsequent Program through the Plan only if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) prior to the time of such reinvestment, the Participant has received the final prospectus and any supplements thereto offering interests in the Subsequent Program and such prospectus allows investment pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan;
(ii) a registration statement covering the interests in the Subsequent Program has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(iii) the offering and sale of such interests are qualified for sale under the applicable state securities laws;
(iv) the Participant executes the subscription agreement included with the prospectus for the Subsequent Program; and
(v) the Participant qualifies under applicable investor suitability standards as contained in the prospectus for the Subsequent Program.
(b) The Company may determine, in its sole discretion, to cause the Administrator to allow one or more participants of an Affiliated Program to become a Participant. If the Company makes such an election, such Participants may invest distributions received from the Affiliated Program in Shares through this Plan, if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) prior to the time of such reinvestment, the Participant has received the final prospectus and any supplements thereto offering interests in the Plan and such prospectus allows investment pursuant to the Plan;
(ii) a registration statement covering the interests in the Plan has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(iii) the offering and sale of such interests are qualified for sale under the applicable state securities laws;
(iv) the Participant executes the subscription agreement included with the prospectus for the Plan; and
(v) the Participant qualifies under applicable investor suitability standards as contained in the prospectus for the Plan.
9. Termination.
(a) A Participant may terminate or modify his participation in the Plan at any time by written notice to the Administrator. To be effective for any Distribution, such notice must be received by the Administrator on or prior to the last day of the Distribution Period to which it relates.
(b) As the Distribution Period is presently monthly, a written election to terminate must be received by the Administrator prior to the last business day of the month, in order to terminate participation in the Plan for that month. If the period for Distribution payments shall be changed, then this paragraph shall also be changed, without the need for advance notice to Participants.
G-3
(c) A Participants transfer of Shares will terminate participation in the Plan with respect to such transferred Shares as of the first day of the Distribution Period in which such transfer is effective, unless the transferee of such Shares in connection with such transfer demonstrates to the Administrator that such transferee meets the requirements for participation hereunder and affirmatively elects participation by delivering an executed authorization form or other instrument required by the Administrator.
(d) In the event that a Participant requests a redemption of all of the Participants Shares, the Participant will be deemed to have given written notice to the Administrator, at the time the redemption request is submitted, that the Participant is terminating his or her participation in the Plan, and is electing to receive all future distributions in cash. This election will continue in effect even if less than all of the Participants Shares are redeemed unless the Participant notifies the Administrator that he or she elects to resume participation in the Plan.
10. State Regulatory Restrictions. The Administrator is authorized to deny participation in the Plan to residents of any state or foreign jurisdiction that imposes restrictions on participation in the Plan that conflict with the general terms and provisions of this Plan, including, without limitation, any general prohibition on the payment of broker-dealer commissions for purchases under the Plan.
11. Amendment or Termination by Company.
(a) The terms and conditions of this Plan may be amended by the Company at any time, including but not limited to an amendment to the Plan to substitute a new Administrator to act as agent for the Participants, by mailing an appropriate notice at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date thereof to each Participant, provided, however, the Company may not amend the Plan to (a) provide for selling commissions or dealer manager fees to be paid for shares purchased pursuant to this Plan or (b) to revoke a Participants right to terminate or modify his participation in the Plan.
(b) The Administrator may terminate a Participants individual participation in the Plan and the Company may terminate the Plan itself, at any time by providing ten (10) days prior written notice to a Participant, or to all Participants, as the case may be.
(c) After termination of the Plan or termination of a Participants participation in the Plan, the Administrator will send to each Participant a check for the amount of any Distributions in the Participants account that have not been invested in Shares. Any future Distributions with respect to such former Participants Shares made after the effective date of the termination of the Participants participation will be sent directly to the former Participant.
12. Participation by Limited Partners of Cole Corporate Income Partnership, LP. For purposes of this Plan, stockholders shall be deemed to include limited partners of Cole Corporate Income Operating Partnership, LP (the Partnership), Participants shall be deemed to include limited partners of the Partnership that elect to participate in the Plan, and Distribution, when used with respect to a limited partner of the Partnership, shall mean cash distributions on limited partnership interests held by such limited partner.
13. Governing Law. This Plan and the Participants election to participate in the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.
14. Notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Plan shall be in writing and, if to the Administrator, addressed to Investor Services Department, 2325 East Camelback Road, Suite 1100, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, or such other address as may be specified by the Administrator by written notice to all Participants. Notices to a Participant may be given by letter addressed to the Participant at the Participants last address of record with the Administrator. Each Participant shall notify the Administrator promptly in writing of any changes of address.

Status of Our Public Offering
The registration statement for our initial public offering of 300,000,000 shares of common stock was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2012. Of these shares, we are offering 250,000,000 shares in a primary offering and up to 50,000,000 shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. During the month of December, we accepted investors subscriptions for, and issued, approximately 5.2 million shares of our common stock in the offering (including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $52.3 million. As of January 7, 2013, we had accepted investors subscriptions for, and issued, approximately 30.8 million shares of our common stock in the offering, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $306.8 million.
We will offer shares of our common stock pursuant to the offering until January 26, 2014, unless all shares being offered have been sold, in which case the offering will be terminated. If all of the shares we are offering have not been sold by January 26, 2014, we may extend the offering as permitted under applicable law. In addition, at the discretion of our board of directors, we may elect to extend the termination date of our offering of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan until we have sold all shares allocated to such plan through the reinvestment of distributions, in which case participants in the plan will be notified. The offering must be registered in every state in which we offer or sell shares. Generally, such registrations are for a period of one year. Thus, we may have to stop selling shares in any state in which our registration is not renewed or otherwise extended annually. We reserve the right to terminate this offering at any time prior to the stated termination date.

(1) | Fees paid to sponsor are payments made to an affiliate of our advisor for acquisition fees in connection with the property acquisition. For more detailed information on fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates, see the section captioned Management Compensation beginning on page 76 of the prospectus. |
(2) | Initial yield is calculated as the current annualized rental income, adjusted for any rent incentives, for the in-place leases at the respective property divided by the property purchase price, exclusive of acquisition costs and acquisition fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates. In general, our properties are subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, and the future costs associated with the double net leases are unpredictable and may reduce the yield. Accordingly, our management believes that current annualized rental income is a more appropriate figure from which to calculate initial yield than net operating income. |
(3) | Average yield is calculated as the average annual rental income, adjusted for any rent incentives, for the inplace leases over the non-cancellable lease term at the respective property divided by the property purchase price, exclusive of acquisition costs and acquisition fees paid to our advisor or its affiliates. In general, our properties are subject to longterm triple net or double net leases, and the future costs associated with the |

double net leases are unpredictable and may reduce the yield. Accordingly our management believes that average annual rental income is a more appropriate figure from which to calculate average yield than net operating income. |

Depreciable Tax Basis
For federal income tax purposes, the aggregate depreciable basis in the 59 properties described in this prospectus supplement is approximately $261.2 million. When we calculate depreciation expense for federal income tax purposes, we depreciate buildings and improvements over a 40year recovery period, land improvements over a 20year recovery period and furnishings and equipment over a 12year recovery period using a straightline method and a midmonth convention. The preliminary depreciable basis in these 59 properties is estimated, as of January 7, 2013, as follows:

Placement of Debt on Certain Real Property Investments
Bridge Facility
On December 14, 2012, our operating partnership, CCPT IV OP, entered into an unsecured bridge facility (the Bridge Facility) providing for up to $75.0 million of borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement (the Bridge Credit Agreement) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as lead arranger and sole book manager, JPMorgan Chase as administrative agent and syndication agent, and other lending institutions that may become parties to the Bridge Credit Agreement.
The Bridge Facility allows CCPT IV OP to borrow up to $75.0 million in revolving loans (the Bridge Revolving Loans), with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (a) 50% of the aggregate value allocated to each qualified unencumbered property comprising the borrowing base and (b) the aggregate mortgageability of each qualified unencumbered property, as defined in the Bridge Credit Agreement, comprising the borrowing base (the Bridge Borrowing Base). Up to 15% of the total amount available may be used for issuing letters of credit and up to $15.0 million may be used for issuing swing line loans (the Swing Line Loans). The Bridge Facility matures on June 14, 2013.
The Bridge Revolving Loans will bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by CCPT IV OP. For a Eurodollar rate loan, as defined in the Bridge Credit Agreement, the interest rate will be equal to the one-month LIBOR for the interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate, as defined in the Bridge Credit Agreement (the Adjusted LIBO Rate), plus 2.75%. For base rate committed loans, the interest rate will be a per annum amount equal to the greater of (a) JPMorgan Chases Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%; or (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0% (the Base Rate) plus 1.75%. The Swing Line Loans will bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus 2.75%.
CCPT IV OP has the right to prepay the Eurodollar rate loans and base rate committed loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty provided that (i) prior written notice is received by the administrative agent; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate loans must be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate committed loans must be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or in each case, if less, the entire principal amount then outstanding. CCPT IV OP also has the right to prepay the Swing Line Loans, in whole or part, without premium or penalty provided that (i) prior written notice is received by the lender and administrative agent and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.
The Bridge Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage ratio requirements and dividend payout requirements. The Bridge Credit Agreement also includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the base rate committed loans and Swing Line Loans will bear interest payable at an interest rate equal to the Base Rate plus 3.75% per annum and the Eurodollar rate loans will bear interest payable at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the interest rate that would otherwise be applicable at the time, until such default is cured. Similarly, the letter of credit fees described above will be increased to a rate of 4.75% above the letter of credit fee that would otherwise be applicable at that time.
As of January 7, 2013, the Bridge Borrowing Base under the Bridge Facility based on the underlying collateral pool for qualified unencumbered properties was approximately $62.7 million.
Potential Real Property Investments
Our advisor has identified certain properties as potential suitable investments for us. The acquisition of each such property is subject to a number of conditions. A significant condition to acquiring any one of these properties is our ability to raise sufficient proceeds in this offering to pay all or a portion of the purchase price,
11
including any expenses or closing costs in connection with closing the acquisitions. An additional condition to acquiring these properties may be securing debt financing to pay the balance of the purchase price. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Other properties may be identified in the future that we may acquire prior to or instead of these properties. Due to the considerable conditions that must be satisfied in order to acquire these properties, we cannot make any assurances that the closing of these acquisitions is probable. The properties currently identified are listed below:

Updates to the Disclosure Regarding our Operating Partnership
All references to our advisor being the sole limited partner of our operating partnership including, but not limited to, the organizational chart in the Prospectus Summary Conflicts of Interest section on page 13 of our prospectus, are hereby replaced with references to CRI REIT IV, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, as the sole limited partner. Additionally, all references to our operating partnership being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes are replaced with references to our operating partnership being treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes.
The following risk factor supersedes and replaces the first risk factor on page 54 in the section of our prospectus captioned Risk Factors Federal Income Tax Risks.
If our operating partnership fails to maintain its status as a disregarded entity or partnership, its income may be subject to taxation, which would reduce the cash available to us for distribution to you.
Our operating partnership is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our operating partnership would lose its status as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes if it issues interests to a person other than us or any subsidiary we establish that is disregarded for tax purposes. If our operating partnership issues interests to a person other than us or any subsidiary we establish that is disregarded for tax purposes, we would characterize our operating partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a disregarded entity or partnership, our operating partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. However, if the Internal Revenue Service were to successfully challenge the status of our operating partnership as a disregarded entity or partnership, CCPT IV OP would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, this would reduce the amount of distributions that the operating partnership could make to us. This could also result in our losing REIT status, and becoming subject to a corporate level tax on our income. This would substantially reduce the cash available to us to make distributions to you and the return on your investment.
If any of the partnerships or limited liability companies through which CCPT IV OP owns its properties, in whole or in part, loses its characterization as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to taxation as a corporation, thereby reducing distributions to our operating partnership. Such a re-characterization of an underlying property owner also could threaten our ability to maintain REIT status.
The following information supersedes and replaces the first paragraph of the Our Operating Partnership Agreement General section on page 153 of our prospectus:
CCPT IV OP, our operating partnership, was formed in July 2010 to acquire, own and operate properties on our behalf. All of the limited partnership interests are owned by us or one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. CCPT IV OP is structured to be an UPREIT if and when all or a portion of its limited partnership interests are held by persons other than us or any subsidiary we establish that is disregarded for tax purposes. A property owner may contribute property to an UPREIT in exchange for limited partnership units on a tax-free basis. This enables us to acquire real property from owners who desire to defer taxable gain that would otherwise be recognized by such owners upon the disposition of their property. This structure may also be attractive for property owners that desire to diversify their investments and gain benefits afforded to owners of stock in a REIT. In addition, CCPT IV OP is structured to ultimately make distributions with respect to limited partnership units that will be equivalent to the distributions made to holders of our common stock. A limited partner in CCPT IV OP may later exchange his or her limited partnership units in CCPT IV OP for shares of our common stock in a taxable transaction. For purposes of satisfying the asset and income tests for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes, the REITs proportionate share of the assets and income of an UPREIT, such as CCPT IV OP, will be
13
deemed to be assets and income of the REIT. We control, and intend to continue to control, our operating partnership and intend to operate it consistently with the requirements for our qualification as a REIT whether our operating partnership is a disregarded entity or a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
The following information supersedes and replaces the sole paragraph in the Federal Income Tax Considerations Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Ownership Interests in Partnerships and Qualified REIT Subsidiaries section on page 160 of our prospectus:
In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT is deemed to own its proportionate share, based on its interest in partnership capital, of the assets of the partnership and is deemed to have earned its allocable share of partnership income. Also, if a REIT owns a qualified REIT subsidiary, which is defined as a corporation wholly-owned by a REIT that does not elect to be taxed as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) under the Internal Revenue Code, the REIT will be deemed to own all of the subsidiarys assets and liabilities and it will be deemed to be entitled to treat the income of that subsidiary as its own. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the partnership or qualified REIT subsidiary shall retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for purposes of satisfying the gross income tests and asset tests set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Our operating partnership is currently a disregarded entity and will remain so unless and until it issues limited partnership interests to a person other than us or any subsidiary we establish that is disregarded for tax purposes.
The following information supersedes and replaces the first full paragraph in the Federal Income Tax Considerations Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership Classification as a Partnership section on page 171 of our prospectus:
Even though CCPT IV OP will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes at such time, if any, that it has two or more regarded owners for tax purposes, it may be taxed as a corporation if it is deemed to be a publicly traded partnership (PTP). A PTP is a partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market, or the substantial equivalent thereof. However, a PTP will not be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes if at least 90% of such partnerships gross income for a taxable year consists of qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualifying income generally includes any income that is qualifying income for purposes of the 95% Income Test applicable to REITs (the 90% Passive-Type Income Exception). See Requirements for Qualification as a REIT Operational Requirements Gross Income Tests above.
The following information supersedes and replaces the sole paragraph in the Federal Income Tax Considerations Tax Aspects of Our Operating Partnership Classification as a Partnership Income Taxation of the Operating Partnership and Its Partners Partnership Allocations section on page 172 of our prospectus:
Although a partnership agreement generally determines the allocation of income and losses among partners, such allocations will be disregarded for tax purposes if they do not comply with the provisions of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations. If an allocation is not recognized for federal income tax purposes after the time, if any, at which the operating partnership becomes a partnership for tax purposes, the item subject to the allocation will be reallocated in accordance with the partners interests in the partnership, which will be determined by taking into account all of the facts and circumstances relating to the economic arrangement of the partners with respect to such item. CCPT IV OPs allocations of taxable income and loss are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations at such time, if any, that the operating partnership becomes a partnership for tax purposes.
Updates to Risk Factor Disclosure
The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the last risk factor on page 24 of the section of the prospectus captioned Risk Factors Risks Related to an Investment in Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc.
14
As of September 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, we have declared approximately $1.8 million of distributions and we have paid approximately $1.1 million, all of which was paid using proceeds from the issuance of common stock. As of September 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million and reflects a reduction for real estate acquisition fees and related costs incurred and expensed of $4.6 million, in accordance with GAAP. As set forth in the Estimated Use of Proceeds section of the prospectus, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by proceeds from our offering. Therefore, for consistency, as of September 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, proceeds from the issuance of common stock are considered a source of our distributions to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. The payment of distributions from sources other than cash provided by operating activities may reduce the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations or cause us to incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds, and may cause subsequent investors to experience dilution.
Renewal of Advisory Agreement
The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the section of our prospectus captioned Management The Advisory Agreement beginning on page 72 of the prospectus.
Our board of directors has approved the renewal of our advisory agreement with Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC, for a term ending November 30, 2013, and the agreement may be renewed for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter.

Updates to our Prior Performance Summary
The following information supersedes and replaces the fourth paragraph of the section in our prospectus captioned Prior Performance Summary Adverse Business and Other Developments Distributions and Redemptions on page 131 of the prospectus.
As of December 31, 2011, CCPT II had paid approximately $536.0 million in cumulative distributions since inception. These distributions were funded by net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $484.6 million, net proceeds in excess of CCPT IIs investment from its sale of marketable securities of approximately $21.5 million, offering proceeds of approximately $9.7 million, distributions received in excess of income from CCPT IIs unconsolidated joint venture and cash received from mortgage notes receivable and real estate assets under direct financing leases of $13.6 million, net proceeds in excess of CCPT IIs investment from its sale of an unconsolidated joint venture of $2.0 million and net borrowings of approximately $4.6 million. As of December 31, 2011, CCPT II had expensed approximately $9.7 million in cumulative real estate acquisition expenses, which reduced operating cash flows. CCPT II treats its real estate acquisition expenses as funded by offering proceeds. Therefore, for consistency, real estate acquisition expenses are treated in the same manner in describing the sources of distributions, to the extent that distributions paid exceed net cash provided by operating activities.
The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the fifth paragraph of the section of our prospectus captioned Prior Performance Summary Adverse Business and Other Developments Distributions and Redemptions on page 131 of the prospectus, and the second paragraph of the Risk Factor captioned You are limited in your ability to sell your shares pursuant to our share redemption program and may have to hold your shares for an indefinite period of time. on page 23 of the prospectus:
On December 6, 2012, CCPT II suspended its share redemption program in anticipation of a potential liquidity event.
Distributions and Share Redemptions
The following data supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the section of our prospectus captioned Description of Shares Distribution Policy and Distributions beginning on page 137 of the prospectus.
Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 365 days in the calendar year, of $0.001712523 per share (which equates to 6.25% on an annualized basis calculated at the current rate, assuming a $10.00 per share purchase price) for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2013 and ending on March 31, 2013.
As of September 30, 2012, cumulative since inception, we have declared approximately $1.8 million of distributions and we have paid approximately $1.1 million, of which approximately $552,000 was paid in cash and approximately $539,000 was reinvested in shares of our common stock pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss was $4.9 million as of September 30, 2012, cumulative since inception and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.4 million and reflects a reduction for real estate acquisition fees and related costs incurred and expensed of $4.6 million, in accordance with GAAP. As set forth in the Estimated Use of Proceeds section of the prospectus, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by proceeds from our offering. Therefore, for consistency, proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are considered a source of our distributions to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. As such, all of our 2012 distributions were funded from proceeds from our offering. For the year ended December 31, 2011, no distributions were paid as we had not commenced principal operations.
The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the last paragraph of the section of our prospectus captioned Description of Shares Share Redemption Program on page 145 of the prospectus:
As of September 30, 2012, we have not received any redemption requests relating to our shares.

Words such as may, will, anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, would, could, should or comparable words, variations and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements not based on historical fact are forward-looking statements.

Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on managements historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2012. We commenced our principal operations on April 13, 2012, when we issued the initial 308,000 shares of our common stock. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by CR IV Advisors. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our Offering to acquire and operate a diverse portfolio of retail and other income-producing commercial properties, which are leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term leases. We expect that most of the properties will be strategically located throughout the United States and U.S. protectorates and subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for all or most of the expenses of maintaining the property (including real estate taxes, special assessments and sales and use taxes, utilities, insurance, building repairs and common area maintenance related to the property). We generally intend to hold each property we acquire for an extended period, of more than seven years.
Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our commercial properties, interest expense on our property indebtedness and acquisition and operating expenses. Rental and other property income accounted for 93% and 94% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As 99.8% of our rentable square feet was under lease as of September 30, 2012, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 16.2 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors. CR IV Advisors regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing the tenants financial results, credit rating agency reports, when available, on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenants market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenants industry segment, and other information for changes and possible trends. If CR IV Advisors identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenants financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property, or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease. In addition, as of September 30, 2012, the debt leverage ratio of our consolidated real estate assets, which is the ratio of debt to total gross real estate and related assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 25%.
As we acquire additional commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on any new indebtedness used to acquire the properties. We may manage our risk of changes in real estate prices on future property acquisitions, when applicable, by entering into purchase agreements and loan commitments simultaneously, or through loan assumption, so that our operating yield is determinable at the time we enter into a purchase agreement, by contracting with developers for future delivery
19
of properties or by entering into sale-leaseback transactions. We manage our interest rate risk by monitoring the interest rate environment in connection with our future property acquisitions, when applicable, or upcoming debt maturities to determine the appropriate financing or refinancing terms, which may include fixed rate loans, variable rate loans or interest rate hedges. If we are unable to acquire suitable properties or obtain suitable financing terms for future acquisitions or refinancing, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Recent Market Conditions
Beginning in late 2007, domestic and international financial markets experienced significant disruptions that were brought about in large part by challenges in the world-wide banking system. These disruptions severely impacted the availability of credit and contributed to rising costs associated with obtaining credit. Since 2010, the volume of mortgage lending for commercial real estate has been increasing and lending terms have improved and they continue to improve; however, such lending activity continues to be significantly less than previous levels. Although lending market conditions have improved, certain factors continue to negatively affect the lending environment, including the sovereign credit issues of certain countries in the European Union. We may experience more stringent lending criteria, which may affect our ability to finance certain property acquisitions or refinance any debt at maturity. Additionally, for properties for which we are able to obtain financing, the interest rates and other terms on such loans may be unacceptable. We expect to manage the current mortgage lending environment by considering alternative lending sources, including the securitization of debt, utilizing fixed rate loans, borrowings on our Credit Facility, short-term variable rate loans, assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, or entering into interest rate lock or swap agreements, or any combination of the foregoing.
The economic downturn led to high unemployment rates and a decline in consumer spending. These economic trends have adversely impacted the retail and real estate markets by causing higher tenant vacancies, declining rental rates and declining property values. In 2011 and through September 30, 2012, the economy improved and continues to show signs of recovery. Additionally, the real estate markets have experienced an improvement in property values, occupancy and rental rates; however, in many markets property values, occupancy and rental rates continue to be below those previously experienced before the economic downturn. As of September 30, 2012, 99.8% of our rentable square feet was under lease. However, if the recent improvements in economic conditions do not continue, we may experience vacancies or be required to reduce rental rates on occupied space. If we do experience vacancies, CR IV Advisors will actively seek to lease our vacant space, however, such space may be leased at lower rental rates and for shorter lease terms than our current leases provide.
Results of Operations
On April 13, 2012 we commenced principal operations and as of September 30, 2012, we owned 32 properties, of which 99.8% of the gross rentable square feet was leased. As we did not commence principal operations until April 13, 2012, comparative financial data is not presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2012
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $1.8 million. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income of $1.7 million related to the 2012 Acquisitions, which accounted for 93% of total revenue. We also paid certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $123,000 in tenant reimbursement income during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $589,000, primarily consisting of unused Credit Facility fees, insurance, advisor operating expense reimbursements, accounting fees, board of directors fees, legal fees, organization fees and state income and franchise taxes. For
20
the three months ended September 30, 2012, property operating expenses were $130,000, primarily related to property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property related insurance. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $678,000 and acquisition expenses totaled $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, related to the 2012 Acquisitions.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $207,000.
Our 2012 Acquisitions were financed with proceeds from our Offering and borrowings from our Credit Facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred interest expense of $364,000, which included $189,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs. Our debt financing costs in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the level of investor proceeds raised, the cost and availability of borrowings, and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets in accordance with our investment strategy.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $2.5 million. Our revenue consisted primarily of rental and other property income of $2.3 million related to the 2012 Acquisitions, which accounted for 94% of total revenue. We also paid certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by our tenants, which resulted in $150,000 in tenant reimbursement income during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $812,000, primarily consisting of unused Credit Facility fees, insurance, advisor operating expense reimbursements, board of directors fees, accounting fees, legal fees, organization fees and state income and franchise taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, property operating expenses were $157,000, primarily related to property taxes, repairs and maintenance and property related insurance. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $938,000 and acquisition expenses totaled $4.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the 2012 Acquisitions.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement with CR IV Advisors and based upon the amount of our current invested assets, we are required to pay to CR IV Advisors a monthly advisory fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the average invested assets. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CR IV Advisors in providing such advisory services, subject to limitations as set forth in the advisory agreement. Advisory fees and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $297,000.
Our 2012 Acquisitions were financed with proceeds from our Offering and borrowings from our Credit Facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred interest expense of $618,000, which included $226,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs. Our debt financing costs in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the level of investor proceeds raised, the cost and availability of borrowings, and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets in accordance with our investment strategy.
Distributions
Our board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 366 days in the calendar year, of $0.001707848 per share for stockholders of record as of each day of the period commencing on April 14, 2012, the first day following the release from escrow of the subscription proceeds received in the Offering, and ending on December 31, 2012.
21
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid distributions of $1.1 million, including $539,000 through the issuance of shares pursuant to our DRIP. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.4 million and reflects a reduction for real estate acquisition fees and related costs incurred and expensed of $4.6 million, in accordance with GAAP. As set forth in the Estimated Use of Proceeds section of the prospectus for the Offering, we treat our real estate acquisition related expenses as funded by proceeds from the Offering. Therefore, for consistency, proceeds from the issuance of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are considered a source of our distributions to the extent that acquisition expenses have reduced net cash flows from operating activities. As such, all of our 2012 distributions were funded from proceeds from our Offering. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, no distributions were paid as we had not commenced principal operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our principal demands for funds will be for real estate and real estate-related investments, for the payment of operating expenses and distributions, for the payment of principal and interest on any outstanding indebtedness and to satisfy redemption requests. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations, and we expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the net proceeds of our Offering and from debt financings. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by the rental income received from our leased properties. We expect to continue to raise capital through our Offering and to utilize such funds and proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future property acquisitions.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, distributions and interest and principal on current and any future indebtedness. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and proceeds from the Offering, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our expected future acquisitions.
We expect our operating cash flows to increase as we acquire properties. Assuming a maximum offering and assuming all shares available under our DRIP are sold, we expect that approximately 88.1% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock will be invested in real estate and real estate-related assets, while the remaining approximately 11.9% will be used for working capital and to pay costs of the offering, including sales commissions, dealer manager fees, organization and offering expenses and fees and expenses of CR IV Advisors in connection with acquiring properties. CR IV Advisors pays the organizational and other offering costs associated with the sale of our common stock, which we reimburse in an amount up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of our Offering. As of September 30, 2012, CR IV Advisors had paid offering and organization costs of $3.5 million in connection with our Offering, of which we had reimbursed $3.1 million. The remaining $451,000 of costs related to the organization of our Offering were not included in the our financial statements as of September 30, 2012 because such costs were not a liability to us as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. This amount may become payable to CR IV Advisors as we continue to raise additional proceeds in the Offering.
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments and the payment of acquisition related expenses, operating expenses, distributions and redemptions to stockholders and interest and principal on any future indebtedness. Generally, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from the sale of our common stock, borrowings on our Credit Facility or the Series C Loan, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and net cash flows from operations.
22
We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including proceeds from our Offering, borrowings on the Credit Facility and/or future borrowings on our unencumbered assets. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower than expected returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the Offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions to our stockholders.
As of September 30, 2012, we had issued approximately 15.4 million shares of our common stock in the Offering resulting in gross proceeds of $153.2 million. As of September 30, 2012, we have not received any redemption requests or redeemed any shares of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2012, we had $39.0 million of debt outstanding on our Credit Facility and an additional $23.0 million of availability based on the current borrowing base assets. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this prospectus supplement for certain terms of the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2012, the ratio of our debt to gross real estate and related assets, net of gross intangible lease liabilities, was 25%.
Our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2012 were as follows:

(2) | Payment obligations for the Revolving Loans outstanding under the Credit Facility are based on an interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2012 of 3.06%. |
(3) | Principal payment amounts reflect actual payments based on the face amount of bond obligations assumed in connection with a property acquisition. As of September 30, 2012, the fair value adjustments, net of amortization, of bond obligations were $68,000. |
We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and make other real estate related investments. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. Our future borrowings will not exceed 300% of our net assets as of the date of any borrowing, which is the maximum level of indebtedness permitted under the North American Securities Administrators Association REIT Guidelines; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to further limit our borrowings to 60% of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our gross assets, unless excess borrowing is approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the justification for such excess borrowing.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to a net loss of $4.9 million, which resulted from $4.6 million of acquisition
23
costs for the 2012 Acquisitions, offset by depreciation and amortization expenses totaling $1.1 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $751,000. See Results of Operations for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $157.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily resulting from the purchase of the 2012 Acquisitions.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $172.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $136.1 million and net proceeds from the line of credit of $39.0 million.
Election as a REIT
We believe we qualify and intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended beginning with the year ending December 31, 2012. To qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we must meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally would not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to qualify as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. We will be subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform to GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:
| Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets; |
| Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets; |
| Revenue Recognition; and |
| Income Taxes. |
24
A complete description of such policies and our considerations as of December 31, 2011 is contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-11, as amended, and our critical accounting policies have not changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The information included in this prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and related notes thereto.
Commitments and Contingencies
We may be subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 6 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this prospectus supplement for further explanations.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with CR IV Advisors and its affiliates, whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CR IV Advisors or its affiliates such as acquisition fees, disposition fees, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, advisory fees and reimbursement of certain operating costs. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in this prospectus supplement for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Subsequent Events
Certain events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2012 through the filing date of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this prospectus supplement for further explanation. Such events are:
| Status of the Offering; |
| Credit Facility; and |
| Investment in Real Estate Assets. |
New Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this prospectus supplement for further explanation. There have been no accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet applied by us, that will significantly impact our financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc. (the Company) was formed on July 27, 2010 and is a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ending December 31, 2012. The Company is the sole general partner of and owns a 99.9% partnership interest in Cole Operating Partnership IV, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (CCPT IV OP). Cole REIT Advisors IV, LLC (CR IV Advisors), the advisor to the Company, is the sole limited partner and owner of an insignificant noncontrolling partnership interest of 0.1% of CCPT IV OP. Substantially all of the Companys business is conducted through CCPT IV OP.
On January 26, 2012, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Registration No. 333-169533) (the Registration Statement), the Company commenced its initial public offering on a best efforts basis of up to a maximum of 250.0 million shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, and up to 50.0 million additional shares to be issued pursuant to a distribution reinvestment plan (the DRIP) under which the Companys stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock at a price of $9.50 per share (the Offering).
On April 13, 2012, the Company issued 308,000 shares of its common stock in the Offering and commenced principal operations. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had issued approximately 15.4 million shares of its common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $153.2 million before offering costs and selling commissions of $16.5 million. The Company intends to continue to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of core commercial real estate investments primarily consisting of necessity retail properties located throughout the United States, including U.S. protectorates. The Company expects that the retail properties primarily will be single-tenant properties and multi-tenant power centers anchored by large, creditworthy national or regional retailers. The Company expects that the retail properties typically will be subject to long-term triple net or double net leases, whereby the tenant will be obligated to pay for most of the expenses of maintaining the property. As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned 32 properties, comprising 582,000 rentable square feet of commercial space located in 15 states. As of September 30, 2012, the rentable space at these properties was 99.8% leased.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated balance sheet and related notes thereto included in the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-11, as amended. Consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2011 have not been presented because the Company had not commenced its principal operations during such periods.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2012
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in and Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets
Real estate and related assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate and related assets consist of the cost of acquisition, excluding acquisition related expenses, construction and any tenant improvements, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate and related assets and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life of the assets. Real estate and related assets, other than land, are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the Companys real estate and related assets by class are generally as follows:
Building and capital improvements |
40 years | |
Tenant improvements |
Lesser of useful life or lease term | |
Intangible lease assets |
Lease term |
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a propertys major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors, a significant decrease in a propertys revenues due to lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate and related assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
When developing estimates of expected future cash flows, the Company makes certain assumptions regarding future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the expected number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in estimating expected future cash flows could result in a different determination of the propertys expected future cash flows and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the fair value of the real estate and related assets.
When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate the fair value, net of selling costs. If, in managements opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the

asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. There were no assets identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2012.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate and Related Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above market and below market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their respective fair values. Acquisition related expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building). The Company obtains an independent appraisal for each real property acquisition. The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Companys management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Companys management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in managements allocation decisions other than providing this market information.
The fair values of above market and below market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (2) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods, with respect to a below market lease. The above market and below market lease values are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities, respectively. Above market lease values are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. In considering whether or not the Company expects a tenant to execute a bargain renewal option, the Company evaluates economic factors and certain qualitative factors at the time of acquisition, such as the financial strength of the tenant, remaining lease term, the tenant mix of the leased property, the Companys relationship with the tenant and the availability of competing tenant space. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above market or below market lease values relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.
The fair values of in-place leases include estimates of direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant and opportunity costs associated with lost rental and other property income, which are avoided by acquiring a property with an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions and other direct costs and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and managements consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The intangible values of opportunity costs, which are calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease, are capitalized as intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.
The Company will estimate the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of current market pricing for similar types of debt financing with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable will initially be recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the mortgage notes outstanding principal balance will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective mortgage note payable.

September 30, 2012
The determination of the fair values of the real estate and related assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Companys purchase price, which could impact the Companys results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company considers investments in highly liquid money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash as of September 30, 2012 consisted of escrowed investor proceeds of $1.2 million for which shares of common stock had not been issued. The Company had no restricted cash as of December 31, 2011.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related financing arrangement, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $189,000 and $226,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. There were no deferred financing costs or related amortization as of December 31, 2011.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had no cash on deposit in excess of federally insured levels. The Company limits significant cash deposits to accounts held by financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.
As of September 30, 2012, two of the Companys tenants, Walgreen Co. and Town & Country Food Stores, Inc., each accounted for 11% of the Companys 2012 gross annualized rental revenues. The Company also had certain geographic concentrations in its property holdings. In particular, as of September 30, 2012, 12 of the Companys properties were located in Texas, two were located in Virginia and two were located in Florida, which accounted for 32%, 12% and 11%, respectively, of the Companys 2012 gross annualized rental revenues. In addition, the Company had tenants in the convenience store, drugstore, restaurant and discount store industries, which comprised 25%, 17%, 14% and 10%, respectively, of the Companys 2012 gross annualized rental revenues.
Revenue Recognition
Certain properties have leases where minimum rental payments increase during the term of the lease. The Company records rental income for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of determining this calculation. The Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Expected reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in tenant reimbursement income in the period when such costs are incurred.

Income Taxes
The Company intends to qualify and elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it, among other things, distributes its taxable income to its stockholders and it distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it or its subsidiaries may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
Offering and Related Costs
CR IV Advisors funds all of the organization and offering costs on the Companys behalf (excluding selling commissions and the dealer-manager fee) and may be reimbursed for such costs up to 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. As of September 30, 2012, CR IV Advisors had incurred $3.5 million of costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering, of which the Company had reimbursed $3.1 million. The remaining $451,000 of costs related to the organization of the Company and the Offering were not included in the financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2012 because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. This amount will become payable to CR IV Advisors as the Company raises additional proceeds in the Offering. When recorded by the Company, organization costs are expensed as incurred and the offering costs, which include items such as legal and accounting fees, marketing and personnel, promotional and printing costs, are recorded as a reduction of capital in excess of par value along with selling commissions and dealer manager fees in the period in which they become payable.
Due to Affiliates
Certain affiliates of the Companys advisor received, and will continue to receive fees, reimbursements and compensation in connection with services provided relating to the Offering and the acquisition, management, financing and leasing of the properties of the Company. As of September 30, 2012, $99,000 was due to CR IV Advisors for such services, as discussed in Note 7 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
Stockholders Equity
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company was authorized to issue 490.0 million shares of common stock and 10.0 million shares of preferred stock. All shares of such stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. On August 11, 2010, the Company sold 20,000 shares of common stock, at $10.00 per share, to Cole Holdings Corporation, the indirect owner of the Companys advisor and dealer-manager. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately 15.4 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Companys board of directors may amend the charter to authorize the issuance of additional shares of capital stock without obtaining shareholder approval. The par value of investor proceeds raised from the Offering is classified as common stock, with the remainder allocated to capital in excess of par value.
Reportable Segments
The Companys operating segment consists of commercial properties, which include activities related to investing in real estate such as retail, office and distribution properties and other real estate related assets. The
F-10
COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2012
commercial properties are geographically diversified throughout the United States, and the Company evaluates operating performance on an overall portfolio level. These commercial properties have similar economic characteristics; therefore, the Companys properties are one reportable segment.
Interest
Interest is charged to interest expense as it accrues. No interest costs were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Distributions Payable and Distribution Policy
In order to qualify and maintain its status as a REIT, the Company is required to, among other things, make distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90% of its taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains). To the extent that funds are available, the Company intends to pay regular distributions to stockholders. Distributions are paid to stockholders of record as of applicable record dates. The Company intends to qualify and elect to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2012; however, the Company has not yet elected, and has not yet qualified, to be taxed as a REIT.
The Companys board of directors authorized a daily distribution, based on 366 days in the calendar year, of $0.001707848 per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing April 14, 2012, the first day following the release from escrow of the subscription proceeds received in the Offering, and ending on December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had distributions payable of $691,000. The distributions were paid in October 2012, of which $345,000 was reinvested in shares through the DRIP. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no distributions payable.
Redeemable Common Stock
Under the Companys share redemption program, the Companys requirement to redeem its shares is limited to the net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of shares under the DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. The Company records amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock outside of permanent equity in its consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had issued approximately 57,000 shares of common stock under the DRIP for cumulative proceeds of $539,000. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had not received any requests for redemptions. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not issued shares of common stock under the DRIP and had not redeemed any shares. Changes in the amount of redeemable common stock from period to period are recorded as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which requires the presentation of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements or disclosures, because the Companys net loss equals its comprehensive loss.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e. interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Companys assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash The Company considers the carrying values of these financial assets to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization.
Credit Facility The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of September 30, 2012. The estimated fair value of the Companys debt was $39.0 million as of September 30, 2012, which approximated the carrying value on such date. The Company had no amounts outstanding on the credit facility as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of the Companys debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Bond Obligations The Company has bond obligations pursuant to a special assessment from a municipality that were assumed in connection with a property acquisition. The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows on the bond obligations at rates for similar obligations that management believes would be available to the Company as of September 30, 2012. The estimated fair value of the Companys bond obligations was $584,000 as of September 30, 2012, which approximated the carrying value on such date. The Company had no bond obligations as of December 31, 2011. The fair value of the Companys bond obligations is estimated using Level 2 inputs.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, on disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2012, there have been no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between levels.

NOTE 4 REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired 32 commercial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $157.0 million (the 2012 Acquisitions). The Company purchased the 2012 Acquisitions with net proceeds from the Offering and proceeds from the Companys revolving credit facility and line of credit with an affiliate of the Companys advisor. The Company allocated the purchase price of these properties to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation:

These costs were recognized in the unaudited pro forma information for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the transactions occurred at the beginning of 2011, nor does it purport to represent the results of future operations.
NOTE 5 CREDIT FACILITY
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $39.0 million of debt outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan Chase) as administrative agent pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Facility allows the Company to borrow up to $250.0 million in revolving loans (the Revolving Loans), with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed 65% of the cost or appraised value of qualified properties as determined by the administrative agent (the Borrowing Base). As of September 30, 2012, the allowable borrowings under the
F-13
COLE CREDIT PROPERTY TRUST IV, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2012
Borrowing Base of the Credit Facility was approximately $62.0 million based on the underlying collateral pool for qualified properties. Subject to meeting certain conditions described in the Credit Agreement and the payment of certain fees, the amount of the Credit Facility may be increased up to a maximum of $400.0 million. The Credit Facility matures on July 13, 2015.
The Revolving Loans will bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by the Company. For a Eurodollar rate loan, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the interest rate will be equal to the one-month LIBOR for the interest period, plus 2.35%. For floating rate loans, the interest rate will be a per annum amount equal to 1.35% plus the greatest of (1) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; (2) JPMorgan Chases Prime Rate; or (3) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. As of September 30, 2012, the Revolving Loans had a weighted average interest rate 2.69%.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage ratio requirements and dividend payout and REIT status requirements. Based on the Companys analysis and review of its results of operations and financial condition, the Company believes it was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2012.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company entered into a $10.0 million subordinate revolving line of credit with Series C, LLC, an affiliate of CR IV Advisors (Series C), (the Series C Loan). The Series C Loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.5% with accrued interest payable monthly in arrears and principal due upon maturity on April 12, 2013. The Series C Loan was approved by a majority of the directors (including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than a comparable loan between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances. As of September 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding on the Series C Loan.
NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to litigation or claims. The Company is not aware of any pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably possible to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 7 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, commissions, fees and expenses payable to CR IV Advisors and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offering, and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.
Offering
In connection with the Offering, Cole Capital Corporation (Cole Capital), the Companys dealer-manager, which is affiliated with its advisor, receives a selling commission of up to 7.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance of commissions earned by participating broker-dealers. Cole Capital has reallowed and intends to continue to reallow 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, Cole Capital receives up to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds before reallowance to participating broker-dealers as a dealer-manager fee in connection with the Offering. 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 other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Companys common stock (excluding selling commissions and the dealer-manager fee) are paid by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates and are reimbursed by the Company up to 2.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds. A portion of the other organization and offering expenses may be underwriting compensation. As of September 30, 2012, CR IV Advisors had paid organization and offering costs of $3.5 million in connection with the Offering, of which $451,000 was not included in the financial statements of the Company because such costs were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 2.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. This amount may become payable to CR IV Advisors as the Company continues to raise additional proceeds in the Offering.

Liquidation/Listing
If CR IV Advisors or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Companys independent directors) in connection with the sale of properties, the Company will pay CR IV Advisors or its affiliate 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 1.0% of the contract price of the property sold; provided, however, in no event may the disposition fee paid to CR IV 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 6.0% of the contract sales price.
If the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to receive a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the net sale proceeds remaining after investors have received a return of their net capital invested and an 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return. Alternatively, if the Companys shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CR IV Advisors will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the amount by which the market value of the Companys 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 8.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors. As an additional alternative, upon termination of the advisory agreement, CR IV Advisors may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to that to which CR IV 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012, no commissions or fees were incurred for any such services provided by CR IV Advisors and its affiliates related to the services described above.

As of September 30, 2012, $99,000 had been incurred primarily for operating and acquisition expenses by CR IV Advisors or its affiliates, but had not yet been reimbursed by the Company and were included in due to affiliates on the condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.
Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in two commercial properties from Series C for an aggregate purchase price of $4.3 million. A majority of the Companys board of directors (including a majority of the Companys independent directors) not otherwise interested in the transactions approved the acquisitions as being fair and reasonable to the Company and determined that the cost to the Company of each property was equal to the cost of the respective property to Series C (including acquisition related expenses). In addition, the purchase price of each property, exclusive of closing costs, was not in excess of the current appraised value of the respective property as determined by an independent third party appraiser.
In connection with the real estate assets acquired from Series C during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company entered into the Series C Loan. Refer to Note 5 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the terms of the Series C Loan. The Series C Loan was repaid in full during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with gross offering proceeds. The Company paid $39,000 of interest to CR IV Advisors related to the Series C Loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
NOTE 8 ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY
Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage CR IV Advisors and its affiliates to provide certain services that are essential to the Company, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of properties owned by the Company, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of shares of the Companys common stock available for issuance, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon CR IV Advisors and its affiliates. In the event that these companies are unable to provide the Company with these services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Item 32. | Sales to Special Parties. |
Our executive officers and directors, as well as officers and employees of CR IV Advisors and their family members (including spouses, parents, grandparents, children and siblings) or other affiliates, may purchase shares offered in this offering at a discount. The purchase price for such shares will be $9.10 per share, reflecting the fact that the 7% selling commission and the 2% dealer manager fee will not be payable in connection with such sales. The net offering proceeds we receive will not be affected by such sales of shares at a discount. In addition, volume discounts are permitted as set forth in the Plan of Distribution section of the prospectus.
Item 33. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. |
On August 11, 2010, Cole Holdings Corporation purchased 20,000 shares of our common stock for total cash consideration of $200,000 to provide our initial capitalization. The issuance and purchase of such shares was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act).
Item 34. | Indemnification of the Officers and Directors |
The Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended (the MGCL), permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter contains a provision that eliminates directors and officers liability for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, provided that certain conditions are met, and subject to the NASAA REIT Guidelines.
The MGCL requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a
II-1
Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under the MGCL a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporations receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (b) a written undertaking by or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. It is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and is unenforceable pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Act.
Our charter provides that we shall indemnify and hold harmless a director, officer, advisor or affiliate against any and all losses or liabilities reasonably incurred by such director, officer, advisor or affiliate in connection with or by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on our behalf in such capacity. We may, with the approval of our board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, provide such indemnification to our employees and agents, subject to the limitations of Maryland law and the NASAA REIT Guidelines.
However, under our charter, we shall not indemnify the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisor or any affiliate for any liability or loss suffered by the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors or affiliates, nor shall we provide that the directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors or affiliates be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by us, unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) the directors, our advisor or its affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in our best interests; (ii) the directors, our advisor or its affiliates were acting on our behalf or performing services for us; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct by the non-independent directors, our advisor or its affiliates; or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct by the independent directors; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our net assets and not from stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors, our advisor or its affiliates and any persons acting as a broker-dealer shall not be indemnified by us for any losses, liability 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 indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular indemnitee; and (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against a particular indemnitee 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 our securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
Our charter provides that the advancement of funds to our directors, our advisor or our advisors affiliates for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action for which indemnification is being sought is permissible only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the legal action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on our behalf; (ii) our directors, our advisor or our advisors affiliates provide us with written affirmation of their good faith belief that they have met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification; (iii) the legal action is initiated by a third party who is not a
II-2
stockholder, or if the legal action is initiated by a stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and (iv) our directors, our advisor or our advisors affiliates agree in writing to repay the advanced funds to us together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such persons are found not to be entitled to indemnification.
We intend to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of all of our directors and executive officers against liability asserted against or incurred by them in their official capacities with us, whether or not we are required or have the power to indemnify them against the same liability.
Item 35. | Treatment of Proceeds from Shares Being Registered. |
Not applicable.
Item 36. | Financial Statements and Exhibits. |
(a) | Financial Statements. |
See page FS-1 for an index of the financial statements included in the registration statement.
(b) | Exhibits. |
See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately preceding the exhibits for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-11, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 37. | Undertakings. |
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(d) That all post-effective amendments will comply with the applicable forms, rules and regulations of the SEC in effect at the time such post-effective amendments are filed.
(e) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of the registration statement relating to the offering, other
II-3
than a registration statement relying on Rule 430B or other than a prospectus filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(f) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser.
2. The registrant undertakes to send to each stockholder, at least on an annual basis, a detailed statement of any transactions with the advisor or its affiliates, and of fees, commissions, compensation and other benefits paid or accrued to the advisor or its affiliates for the fiscal year completed, showing the amount paid or accrued to each recipient and the services performed.
3. The registrant undertakes to provide to the stockholders the financial statements required by Form 10-K for the first full fiscal year of operations of the registrant.
4. The registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act during the distribution period describing each property not identified in the prospectus at such time as there arises a reasonable probability that such property will be acquired and to consolidate all such stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every three months, with the information contained in such amendment provided simultaneously to the existing stockholders. Each sticker supplement will disclose all compensation and fees received by the advisor and its affiliates in connection with any such acquisition. The post-effective amendment will include audited financial statements meeting the requirements Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X only for properties acquired during the distribution period.
5. The registrant undertakes to file, after the end of the distribution period, a current report on Form 8-K containing the financial statements and additional information required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, to reflect each commitment (i.e., the signing of a binding purchase agreement) made after the end of the distribution period involving the use of 10% or more (on a cumulative basis) of the net proceeds of the offering and to provide the information contained in such report to the stockholders at least once each quarter after the distribution period of the offering has ended.
6. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions and otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
II-4
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

4.1.1. Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Title Commitment issued by the Title Company as well as the Survey, which Purchaser shall cause to be certified to the Title Company, Purchaser, Seller and, if applicable, Purchasers lender. Purchaser will cause copies of the Title Commitment, all documents of record which are listed as exceptions in the Title Commitment and the Survey (collectively, the Title Materials) to be delivered to Seller. If an update or endorsement to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser after the Effective Date or a revision to the Survey (Title/Survey Update) issued after the Effective Date discloses a title or Survey matter that was not disclosed in the Title Materials or in a previous Title/Survey Update, which in each case are not Permitted Exceptions, Purchaser may deliver to Seller, within five (5) days following Purchasers receipt of the Title/Survey Update (Title/Survey Update Review Period) a written objection (an Objection) to such defect first disclosed on the Title/Survey Update accompanied by a copy of the Title/Survey Update. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to all matters reflected in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and to the state of facts shown on the Survey, other than Objections that have been timely given, so long as such Objections are to matters that are not Permitted Exceptions and provided that, in no event shall Purchaser be deemed to have agreed to accept title subject to (i) monetary liens, encumbrances or security interests against Seller and/or the Property that have been created, consented to or affirmatively permitted by Seller in writing (including, without limitation, the items listed as items 4 and 19-24 of Schedule B-II of the Title Commitment unless such documents are assigned to Purchasers lender as provided in Section 4.2 below), (ii) encumbrances that have been voluntarily placed against the Property by Seller after the Effective Date without Purchasers prior written consent and that will not otherwise be satisfied on or before the Closing or (iii) exceptions that can be removed from the Title Commitment by Sellers delivery of a customary owners title affidavit or gap indemnity, provided same shall not require any indemnities except for such gap indemnity or require any escrows or holdbacks unless consented to by Seller, in each instance, in its sole and absolute discretion (all of the foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as the Sellers Required Removal Items). All title matters and exceptions set forth in the Title Commitment and any Title/Survey Update and the state of facts shown on the Survey which are not Objections, or which are thereafter deemed to be accepted or waived by Purchaser as hereinafter provided, other than the Sellers Required Removal Items, are hereafter referred to as the Permitted Exceptions.
4.1.2. If Purchaser notifies Seller within the Title/Survey Update Review Period of Objections which are not Permitted Exceptions, then within five (5) business days after
6
Sellers receipt of Purchasers notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing (Sellers Title Response Notice) of the Objections which Seller agrees to satisfy at or prior to the Closing, at Sellers sole cost and expense, and of the Objections that Seller cannot or will not satisfy. Failure by Seller to respond to Purchaser by the expiration of said five (5) business day response period shall be deemed as Sellers election not to cure the Objections raised by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall, in any event, be obligated to satisfy Sellers Required Removal Items. If Seller chooses not to satisfy all or any of the Objections other than the Sellers Required Removal Items, Seller shall notify Purchaser thereof within the allowed five (5) business day period, then Purchaser shall have the option to be exercised within five (5) business days following Purchasers receipt of the Sellers Title Response Notice of either (i) terminating this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon (A) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, and (B) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, or (ii) electing to consummate the purchase of the Project, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Objections, without any adjustment in the Purchase Price, and such Objections shall become Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereunder. Failure by Purchaser to respond to Seller by the expiration of said five (5) business day response period shall be deemed its election to waive the applicable Objection(s), which shall automatically become Permitted Exceptions. If, at or prior to the Closing, Seller is unable or unwilling to satisfy any Objections that Seller has agreed to satisfy in Sellers Title Response Notice, subject to Sellers rights in the immediately following sentence, Purchaser shall have the sole option, at Purchasers sole discretion and without having any other right or remedy, (i) to adjourn the Closing Date by giving written notice of such adjournment to Seller in order to allow Seller additional time to satisfy such Objections, (ii) to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon (A) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, (B) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, and (C) Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Purchaser on demand all of Purchasers verifiable third-party, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with its investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, up to the aggregate amount of $100,000.00, upon presentation of invoices therefor (the Purchasers Reimbursement Cap), or (iii) to close this transaction in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and accepting title in its then existing condition with all matters set forth in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (other than Sellers Required Removal Items and Objections that Seller has cured) being deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to Purchaser having the adjournment and/or termination rights described in subparagraphs (i)-(ii) of the immediately prior sentence, Seller shall have the right (but no obligation) to extend the Closing Date in order to cure any such Objections, in one or more adjournments, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate.
4.1.3. It is a condition to Purchasers obligation to close that the Title Company shall be prepared to cause title to the Property to be insured with a 2006 ALTA Owners Policy of Title Insurance to Purchaser (the Title Policy) , at Purchasers sole cost and expense, insuring Purchasers fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.
7
4.2 The Property is currently encumbered by a mortgage in the approximate outstanding principal balance of $70 million in favor of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (the Existing Mortgage). Seller shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Purchaser in arranging for an assignment of the Existing Mortgage to Purchasers designee, without representation, warranty or recourse by or to Seller, provided that (i) such cooperation by Seller shall be without charge or cost to Seller, (ii) all costs related to the assignment of the Existing Mortgage in lieu of a satisfaction of such Existing Mortgage (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred by the holder of the Existing Mortgage), as distinguished from the amount required to pay the principal, interest, and any prepayment charges due to the holder of such Existing Mortgage in connection with such assignment, shall be Purchasers obligation to pay, (iii) such assignment shall not delay the Closing Date, and (iv) any net benefit to Purchaser in mortgage recording tax savings, will be split at Closing equally between Purchaser and Seller. In connection therewith, upon the assignment of the Existing Mortgage to Purchasers designee at Closing, Seller shall receive a credit from Purchaser for fifty percent (50%) of such mortgage recording tax savings amount at Closing, after deduction of all third party costs incurred by Purchaser related to such assignment (including, without limitation, all legal fees incurred by the holder of the Existing Mortgage). Seller shall not be responsible, in any manner whatsoever, for any failure of any holder of the Existing Mortgage to deliver an assignment of the Existing Mortgage. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller makes no representation of its ability to deliver an assignment from the holder of the Existing Mortgage encumbering the Property. If the holder of the Existing Mortgage does not assign the Existing Mortgage to Purchasers designee at Closing, then Seller shall be obligated, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to obtain a satisfaction of the Existing Mortgage at the Closing (and Seller may use or instruct the Title Company to use any cash portion of the Purchase Price for the Property to satisfy the Existing Mortgage). If the holder of the Existing Mortgage does assign the Existing Mortgage to Purchasers designee at Closing, Seller shall use or instruct the Title Company to use a portion of the Purchase Price to pay the holder of the Existing Mortgage the principal, interest, and any prepayment charges due to such holder in connection with such assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing (or anything herein to the contrary), in no event shall the Closing be contingent upon the assignment of the Existing Mortgage or any financing of the purchase of the Property by Purchaser.
Section 5. Closing Date. Provided that all of the conditions to Purchasers obligation to close shall be satisfied in accordance with Section 10 herein, and subject to adjournment by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, as provided in this Agreement, the sale contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated and closed through an escrow arrangement with the Title Company on or before November 28, 2012, TIME OF THE ESSENCE, or such earlier or later date as the parties may mutually agree upon in writing. The terms and conditions of such escrow arrangement shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company. The consummation and the closing of the purchase and sale of the Project as contemplated by this Agreement are herein referred to as the Closing, and the date on which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to each partys respective rights to adjourn the Closing Date pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement in the event certain of Purchasers conditions to Closing have not been satisfied, Purchaser shall have the
8
one-time right to extend the scheduled date of Closing for up to thirty (30) days by delivering written notice to Seller prior to the date on which the Closing is scheduled to occur and by depositing an additional earnest money deposit of $2,000,000.00 (the Extension Deposit) with Title Company on or prior to the initially scheduled Closing Date (as the same previously may have been adjourned, if applicable).
Section 6. AS IS. Purchaser acknowledges that prior to the Effective Date Purchaser has made such investigations and inspections of the Project and the books and records relating thereto as it has deemed necessary to satisfy itself as to all matters relating to its purchase of the Project. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Purchaser shall purchase the Project in its AS IS condition as of the Effective Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear until Closing and subject to casualty damage as herein provided.
This Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto contain all the terms of the agreement entered into between the parties, and Purchaser acknowledges that neither Seller nor any representatives of Seller has made any representations or held out any inducements to Purchaser, other than those herein expressed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser has not relied on any representations or warranties of Seller other than as expressly set forth herein or in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, in either case express or implied, as to (i) the current or future real estate tax liability, assessment or valuation of the Property; (ii) the potential qualification of the Property for any and all benefits conferred by federal, state or municipal laws, whether for subsidies, special real estate tax treatment, insurance, mortgages, or any other benefits, whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated; (iii) the availability of any financing for the purchase, alteration, rehabilitation or operation of the Property from any source, including but not limited to, state, city, or federal government or any institutional lender; (iv) the physical condition of the Property; or (v) compliance with any applicable law, rule or regulation, building code, zoning code and Environmental Law (defined in Section 8.1.15).
Except as set forth in Sections 8.4 and 16 herein, nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit Sellers liability as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to Sellers representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities that survive the Closing.
The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing and conveyance of title to the Property.
Section 7. Satisfaction of Liens. If at the Closing there are any liens on the Property which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, provided that Seller shall be permitted to bond over same, provided such bonded liens are omitted from the Title Policy, Seller shall have the right to instruct the Title Company to use any cash portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same. Provided that Seller shall have delivered to the Title Company at or before the Closing acceptable pay-off letters from any lien holders verifying the amounts to be paid at Closing to satisfy and release such liens of record and Seller authorizes the Title Company to use the Purchase Price (or a portion thereof) to pay such liens, such that the Title Company will issue at Closing the Title Policy without exception thereto, then the mere existence of any such liens to be satisfied and released out of the Purchase Price shall not be deemed unsatisfied Objections to title.

It shall be a condition to Purchasers obligation to purchase the Property that Seller shall have obtained Tenant Executed Estoppels from (i) all Tenants listed on Exhibit D-2 annexed hereto (the Key Tenants) and (ii) Tenants leasing at least seventy-five (75%) of the square footage of the leased portion of the remainder of the Project (after subtracting the square footage leased by the Key Tenants) (collectively, the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels) by the Closing. In the event that Seller is unable to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels prior to the scheduled date for Closing, Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in the aggregate to obtain such Tenant Executed Estoppels. In addition, Seller shall have the option, but in no event shall be under any obligation, to deliver an Estoppel Certificate executed by Seller that satisfies the Estoppel Requirements (a Seller Estoppel Certificate) for each Lease, other than the Leases of the Key Tenants, for which Seller does not obtain a Tenant Executed Estoppel, and Purchaser agrees to accept same in the place of Tenant Executed Estoppels with respect to Tenants leasing up to fifty percent (50%) of the square footage in the Center not leased by the Key Tenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, subsequently, Purchaser receives a Tenant Executed Estoppel for which Seller had previously delivered a Seller Estoppel Certificate, Seller shall be released from any liability in regards to its Seller Estoppel Certificate, it being acknowledged that thereafter such Tenant Executed Estoppel shall replace such Seller Estoppel Certificate. In the event that Seller fails to extend the Closing Date as permitted hereunder to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels or fails, after exercising such thirty (30) day extension, to satisfy the requirements of this Section 11.2, Purchaser shall have the right to (x) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller, whereupon (A) Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit, and (B) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder, or (y) adjourn the Closing Date for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days by giving written notice to Seller in order to allow Seller additional time to obtain the Required Tenant Executed Estoppels. Seller agrees to forward any Tenant Executed Estoppels received by Seller from a Tenant to Purchaser promptly after Sellers receipt of same.
23
11.3 At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver the following documents in addition to payment of the balance of the Purchase Price:
11.3.1. evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of Purchasers authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the documents to be delivered by it pursuant thereto;
11.3.2. an instrument of assumption of all of Sellers obligations under the Leases in the form of Exhibit C-1 executed by Purchaser;
11.3.3. an instrument of assumption of all of Sellers obligations under those Contracts being assumed by Purchaser, in the form of Exhibit C-5 executed by Purchaser;
11.3.4. the Closing Statement executed by Purchaser; and
11.3.5. such other instruments or documents which shall be necessary in connection with the transaction herein contemplated and which do not impose, create, or potentially create any liability or expense upon Purchaser not expressly required under this Agreement, including any transfer tax forms.
The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of any and all obligations on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except where such agreements and obligations are specifically stated to survive.
11.4 With respect to the $2,500,000 letter of credit delivered by BJs Wholesale Club, Inc. to Seller under its Lease, Seller will deliver to Purchaser at Closing the original letter of credit and an executed counterpart of the related transfer request form, directing the issuer of such letter of credit to transfer such letter of credit to Purchaser in the full amount thereof. In addition, following the Closing, upon the request of Purchaser, Seller will execute and deliver any supplemental documents required by the issuer of such letter of credit in order to transfer such letter of credit to Purchaser, provided any such additional documents do not impose any additional liability or expense upon Seller.
Section 12. Brokerage. Each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants to the other that no brokers, finders or other parties have been involved with it in this transaction except HFF, LP (Broker). Seller shall pay a commission to Broker with respect to the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker and shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless against any costs, claims or expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, arising out of any claim by Broker for such commission. Seller and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other against any costs, claims or expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, arising out of the breach of their respective representations and/or agreements hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
Section 13. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder to either party shall be (i) in writing and shall be deemed to be given on the earlier to occur of (a) actual receipt, (b) the date of electronic or facsimile transmission in the case of delivery by facsimile or electronic mail (provided that the original thereof shall be promptly sent by overnight courier for next business day delivery), (c) the following business day after the date of delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) the third business day after deposit of both

Section 14. Prorations and Costs.
14.1 Prorations. Purchaser and Seller shall apportion as of midnight of the day preceding the Closing, the items hereinafter set forth. Any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected. The obligations set forth in this Section 14 shall survive the Closing. The items to be adjusted are:
14.1.1. City ad valorem taxes and other assessments for the tax year in which the Closing occurs.
25
14.1.2. all base rent, percentage rent and additional rent and similar charges to the extent collected by Seller. Any base rent, percentage rent, additional rent or other charges received from a Tenant after the Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority:
1. First, to the rents owing for the calendar month in which the Closing occurred;
2. Second, to any rents then owing for any calendar month or months following the calendar month in which the Closing occurred; and
3. Third, to rents owing for any calendar month or months preceding the calendar month in which the Closing occurred until the Tenant, under the applicable Lease, is current.
For a period of six (6) months after the Closing, Purchaser shall bill Tenants for all amounts due under their Leases accruing prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, base rent, additional rent, percentage rent or other Tenant charges for the year 2012) and shall use reasonable efforts to collect from Tenants any base rent, additional rent, percentage rent or other Tenant charges owing with respect to the period prior to the Closing. To the extent delinquent amounts for base rents, additional rents, percentage rents and other tenant charges for the period prior to the Closing (Delinquent Rents) are collected by Purchaser, subject to clauses 1, 2 and 3 above, such amounts, net of reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, shall be paid to Seller no later than ten (10) business days following the date on which such amounts have been received by Purchaser or its agent. Purchaser shall not be obligated to expend any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any Delinquent Rents. In no event shall Seller commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any Tenant after the Closing other than actions against Key Tenants for non-payment of rent. Any such action must be commenced within sixty (60) days after Closing, and Seller shall not have the right to seek eviction. Further, in the event Seller commences any such action and the applicable Tenant names Purchaser as a third party defendant or otherwise causes Purchaser to be named in any such action, Seller shall indemnify and defend Purchaser from such claims except with respect to any claims asserted by such Tenant relating to matters arising after the Closing.
At Closing, percentage rents shall be separately apportioned based on the percentage rents actually collected by Seller. Such apportionment shall be made separately for each Tenant who is obligated to pay percentage rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenants Lease for the determination and payment of percentage rent. Any percentage rent received from a Tenant after the Closing shall be applied as follows: (a) Purchaser shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent fiscal year period that Purchaser owned the Project and (b) Seller shall be entitled to a prorata portion of such percentage rent payment based on the number of days within the applicable percentage rent period that Seller owned the Project.
No later than one (1) year after the Closing Date (the Final Adjustment Date), Seller and Purchaser shall make a final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1 of percentage rent and other items of additional rents for which final adjustments or prorations could not be determined at the Closing, if any, because of the lack of
26
actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year end adjustment of common area maintenance, taxes and like items, the unavailability of final sales figures or amounts for percentage rent or any other reason. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 14.1.3, any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser or Seller is to be paid in cash by the other no later than ten (10) business days after such final adjustment has been made.
14.1.3. To the extent Tenants pay monthly estimates of common area maintenance charges, central plant charges, taxes and similar expenses (collectively, Charges) with an adjustment at the end of each fiscal year applicable to Charges, they shall be prorated in accordance with this Section. Until the adjustment described in this Section is made, all amounts received by Seller as interim payments of Charges before the Closing Date shall be retained by Seller, except that all interim payments received by either party for the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated as between Seller and Purchaser based upon the number of days in that month and the party receiving the interim payment shall remit to (if received on or after the Closing Date) or credit (if received before the Closing Date) the other party its proportionate share. All amounts received by Purchaser as interim payments of Charges on or after the Closing Date shall be retained by Purchaser until year end adjustment and determination of Sellers allocable share thereof except to the extent provided in Section 14.1.2 above. No later than the Final Adjustment Date, Sellers allocable share of actual Charges for Leases in effect as of the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the total payments due from each Tenant for such fiscal year (the sum of estimated payments plus or minus year end adjustments) by a fraction, the numerator of which is Sellers actual cost of providing common area maintenance services and taxes (as the case may be) prior to the Closing Date (within that portion of the fiscal year prior to the Closing Date in which the applicable Lease is in effect), and the denominator of which is the cost of providing such services and paying such taxes for the entire fiscal year (or that portion of the fiscal year in which the applicable Lease is in effect). If, on the basis of amounts actually incurred and the estimated payments received by Seller, Seller has retained amounts in excess of its allocable share, it shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Purchaser of the excess owed Purchaser, such excess to Purchaser. If, on the basis of the foregoing amounts, Seller has retained less than its allocable share (the Seller Shortfall), Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts for a period of ninety (90) days after the Final Adjustment Date to collect the Seller Shortfall from the Tenants of the Property and, to the extent collected by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly remit the Seller Shortfall, net of reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, to Seller. Purchaser shall not be obligated to expend any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any Seller Shortfall. In no event shall Seller commence any legal proceedings against any Tenant after the Closing with respect to any Seller Shortfall.
In the event there is a dispute with any Tenant relating to Charges billed by Seller relating to the period prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall be responsible for resolving such dispute with such Tenant and, if it is determined that credits are due to such Tenant with respect to such charges, Seller shall remit such amount either to the Purchaser or directly to the Tenant within ten (10) days after determination thereof. In the event there is a dispute with any Tenant relating to Charges billed by Purchaser relating to the period after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for resolving such dispute with such Tenant and, if it is determined that credits are due to such Tenant with respect to such charges, Purchaser shall remit such amount to the Tenant within ten (10) days after determination thereof.
27
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the preceding paragraph, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain all reconciliation payments made by Tenants with respect to Charges for the calendar years preceding the calendar year of Closing, and shall be responsible for any amounts owed to Tenants in connection with the final reconciliation of Charges for such prior calendar years. If any such reconciliation payment with respect to Charges for a calendar year preceding the year in which the Closing occurs is received by Purchaser after the Closing, Purchaser shall remit such payment to Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt. If any Tenant which is owed a refund with respect to Charges for a calendar year preceding the calendar year of Closing deducts or sets off such amount against rents or other charges owed by such Tenant after the Closing, Seller shall remit such amount to Purchaser promptly following the occurrence of such set off or deduction.
14.1.4. All other income and all operating expenses of the Project for the assumed Contracts and public utility charges and charges and/or payments under the REAs with respect to the Project shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date, and appropriate cash adjustments shall be made by Purchaser and Seller. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to arrange for final utility readings as close to the Closing Date as possible and the issuance of a final bill to Seller with Purchaser being designated the billing party in lieu of Seller for all utilities that may be in the name of Seller from and after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the management agreement and leasing agreement, if any, for the Property shall be terminated as of the Closing date and there shall be no apportionment of any fees or charges thereunder.
14.1.5. At Closing, any prepaid rents and security deposits under the Leases (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be transferred to Purchaser either directly or by way of a credit in favor of Purchaser.
14.1.6. If, at Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, which are or may become payable in annual installments, of which the first installment is then a charge or lien, then for the purposes of this Agreement, all the unpaid installments of any such assessment due and payable in calendar years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs shall be paid by Seller and all installments becoming due and payable after the Closing shall be assumed and paid by Purchaser, except, however, that any installments which are due and payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted pro rata. However, if such an assessment or assessments shall be due in one lump sum payment, then to the extent such assessment(s) is for improvements in place as of the date of this Agreement, then such assessment(s) shall be paid by Seller but if such assessment(s) is for improvements to be made subsequent to the date of Closing, then the same shall be paid by Purchaser.
14.1.7. All unpaid tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental abatements, concessions and other inducements and all brokerage commissions relating to the Leases listed on Schedule 1.5 hereto with respect to the current term of any Leases and space demised to such Tenants as of the date hereof, and any amounts owing by Seller hereunder or pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, shall be the obligation of Seller. Except as provided in Section 25 hereof with respect to Leases of Suite L and Suite G5, Purchaser shall be responsible for all tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental
28
abatements, concessions and other inducements and all brokerage commissions relating to any Leases entered into after the Effective Date with the approval of Purchaser, as well as all tenant improvement costs or allowances, free rent periods or rental abatements, concessions and other inducements and brokerage commissions relating to or arising from any renewal, expansion, or extension of any of the existing Leases listed on Schedule 1.5 hereto. Sellers obligations described in this Section either (i) shall be paid at Closing (or paid when due if sooner) by Seller with evidence of payment delivered to Purchaser at Closing, or (ii) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for any such amount(s) not paid.
14.1.8. At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for (i) amounts paid to Seller by Tenants, merchants and other associations for promotional funds, and other similar contributions or payments, if any and (ii) all funds held by Seller with respect to outstanding gift certificates, if any.
14.2 Purchasers Costs. Purchaser will pay:
14.2.1. The fees and disbursements of Purchasers counsel, inspecting architect, engineer, environmental consultant and other consultants, if any;
14.2.2. Any closing escrow fees of the Title Company;
14.2.3. The cost of the Title Commitment and the Title Policy, including any search and exam fees, as well as the cost of all endorsements thereto ;
14.2.4. Any costs relating to any financing obtained by Purchaser (including, without limitation, any mortgage taxes and any additional title premiums resulting from obtaining a loan title policy);
14.2.5. The cost of the Survey; and
14.2.6. Recording fees (other than the cost of recording any releases that Seller is required or has agreed to remove in accordance with this Agreement).
14.3 Sellers Costs. Seller will pay:
14.3.1. The fees and disbursements of Sellers counsel;
14.3.2. The cost of releasing all liens, judgments and other encumbrances that Seller has agreed to or is required to remove in accordance with this Agreement; and
14.3.3. Any transfer taxes relating to the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser.
Section 15. Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing and Condemnation.
15.1 If prior to the Closing the Property is damaged or destroyed but not materially damaged or destroyed, by fire or other casualty, Purchaser shall nonetheless be required to perform this Agreement and shall be entitled to the casualty insurance proceeds
29
payable with respect thereto (including without limitation any business income, rent loss or like insurance proceeds relating to Property income lost or abated for periods following Closing (such lost or abated income, the Lost Income)) under the policies of insurance maintained by Seller (collectively, the Insurance Proceeds) and to a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible under any insurance policy maintained by the Seller which covers such damage or destruction, but without any further reduction or credit against the Purchase Price. If the Property is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement on written notice to Seller given within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the occurrence of such fire or casualty. If Purchaser shall exercise such option to terminate, the Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposit and except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. If Purchaser does not exercise such option to terminate, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Purchaser shall be entitled to the Insurance Proceeds plus a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the deductible under any insurance policy maintained by Seller which covers such damage or destruction. For purposes hereof, the Project shall be deemed materially damaged or destroyed if (i) the cost of repair and restoration to the Property of such damage or destruction as estimated by the engineer or contractor selected by Seller and Purchaser is greater than $5 Million, in the case of the premises leased to BJs Wholesale, greater than $2 Million, in the case of the improvements located on Lot 5, or greater than $1 Million, in the case of the other improvements located on the Land (such amounts, a Significant Portion), (ii) if such damage or destruction would entitle Tenants paying rents with an aggregate capitalized value of $1,000,000 or more, based on a capitalization rate of 6.14%, to terminate their Lease(s) (to the extent such Tenants have not waived such right), (iii) if such damage or destruction would entitle Tenants to abate their rent with resulting Lost Income not covered by Insurance Proceeds which can be assigned to Purchaser after the Closing in excess of $60,000.00, or (iv) if such damage or destruction is not covered by insurance, or if such insurance is not for the full replacement cost, except for deductible amounts. This Article is an express agreement to the contrary of Section 5-1311 of the New York General Obligations Law.
15.2 In the event prior to Closing a condemnation proceeding is commenced, a condemnation proceeding is concluded, or all or any part of the Property is conveyed in lieu of condemnation, which condemnation would have a material and adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Purchaser shall receive a full refund of the Deposit, and except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other hereunder. In the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or in the event such condemnation proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser shall thenceforth be required to close the transaction contemplated hereunder and Seller shall assign to Purchaser, at the Closing, all of Sellers rights, title and interest in and to any condemnation claim and/or award payable with respect to the Property. For purposes of this Section 15.2, a material and adverse effect shall include the taking of Improvements resulting in a reduction in the value of the Property in amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in Section 15.1 as a Significant Portion with respect to the respective portions of the Property described therein, or a condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof that will entitle Tenant(s) paying rents with an aggregate capitalized value of $1,000,000 or more, based on a capitalization rate of 6.14%, to terminate their Leases (to the extent that such Tenant(s) do not waive such rights), or that will entitle Tenants to abate their rent with resulting Lost Income in excess of $60,000.00.
30
Section 16. Remedies.
16.1 IF THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER HEREUNDER, THEN SELLER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR PURCHASERS DEFAULT, SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, THE PARTIES HAVING AGREED THAT SELLERS ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THIS SALE DUE TO PURCHASERS DEFAULT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT, CONSIDERING ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD INCUR IN SUCH EVENT. EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION. THE FOREGOING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE SELLERS UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE ELECTION OF A REMEDY FOR A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
16.2 A. Subject to this Section, if Seller shall default in its obligations under this Agreement, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, or if there shall be a material breach discovered by Purchaser before Closing of any of Sellers representations or warranties in Section 8 hereunder, the parties hereto agree that Purchasers sole remedy shall be limited either (a) to the termination of this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit and, in addition, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with Purchasers investigation of the Property and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to the Purchasers Reimbursement Cap, or (b) to specific performance of this Agreement, provided Purchaser initiates such action no later than sixty (60) days after any rights of Purchaser arise due to such uncured Seller default or breach hereunder. For purposes of this Section, material shall mean any state of facts which, taken alone or together with all other untruths or inaccuracies and all such covenants with which Seller has not materially complied, can reasonably be anticipated to have an economic impact, in the aggregate, in excess of the Floor (as hereinafter defined). Seller may elect to provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of the damage estimated by Purchaser to result or potentially result from such breach or default by delivering notice of such intention to Purchaser no later than ten (10) days from the date of Purchasers notice to cure any such material breach, in which case such breach shall be deemed cured and Purchaser shall no longer have the right to terminate the Agreement as a result thereof.
B. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 16.2A above, if specific performance is unavailable as a remedy to Purchaser because of Sellers affirmative intentional act in breach of this Agreement for the purpose of avoiding the transaction described in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the right to pursue any remedy at law or in equity including, without limitation, a claim for money damages.
31
C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the representations of Seller set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement shall survive the Closing under this Agreement for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date (the Survival Period); provided, however, that the representations of Seller set forth in this Agreement with respect to Leases shall not survive the Closing to the extent a Tenant Executed Estoppel covering substantially the same matter is delivered. Each such Seller representation shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the Survival Period unless, prior to the end of the Survival Period, Purchaser shall have asserted in writing a specific claim with respect to the particular Surviving Seller Representation and commenced a legal proceeding within forty-five (45) days thereafter against Seller alleging that Seller is in breach of such surviving Seller representation and that Purchaser has suffered actual damages as a result thereof (a Proceeding). In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to assert any consequential, special or punitive damages, nor shall it be entitled to any award or payment based on such damages. If Purchaser timely commences a Proceeding, and a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to a final, non-appealable order in connection with such Proceeding, determines that (1) the applicable surviving Seller representation was breached as of the Closing Date and (2) Purchaser suffered actual damages (the Damages) by reason of such breach and (3) Purchaser did not have knowledge of such breach prior to the Closing, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Damages, but in no event in an amount greater than the Ceiling (as hereinafter defined); provided, however, Purchaser shall not be entitled to pursue any claim against Seller for Damages to Purchaser that are less than the Floor (as hereinafter defined). If Purchaser has claim(s) against Seller, in excess of the Floor in the aggregate, then Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue the actual loss suffered by Purchaser in connection with such claim(s) against Seller, but in no event shall Sellers liability for any and all claims exceed the Ceiling. For purposes of this Section 16, Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge of the fact in issue prior to Closing if Thomas P. Falatko or John M. Pons had actual (and not imputed or constructive) knowledge of the fact in issue prior to Closing or if such information is included in any Lease, Contract, or any other Property Information provided by Seller to Purchaser with respect to the Property. Purchaser represents that Thomas P. Falatko and John M. Pons are the persons within Purchasers organization with primary responsibility for Purchasers due diligence with respect to the Property. As used herein, Floor shall mean with respect to any claim or claims against Seller for breach of any Surviving Seller Representation, SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND AND 00/100 Dollars ($75,000.00), and Ceiling shall mean THREE MILLION AND 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00). The provisions of this Section 16 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy after closing for breaches of Sellers representations and warranties.
16.3 The provisions of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 hereof shall not limit any rights or remedies that either party may have against the other after the Closing with respect to those provisions of this Agreement that survive Closing or the documents delivered pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.3 hereof.
Section 17. Reporting Requirements. Purchaser and Seller shall each deposit such other instruments required to close the escrow and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, an agreement designating the Title Company as the Reporting Person for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and executed
32
by Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company, but in no event shall such instruments impose, create or potentially create any liability for Seller or Purchaser not expressly provided for herein. Such agreement shall comply with the requirements of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 18. Miscellaneous.
18.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes any other previous agreement, oral or written, between the parties. This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, waived or terminated orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns, subject, however, to limitations set forth herein regarding assignments of this Agreement.
18.2 In the event of a default by either party hereto which becomes the subject of litigation, the losing party agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party. For purposes of this Section, a party will be considered to be the prevailing party if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking. The provision of this Section shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
18.3 This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, by email (in .pdf format) and/or in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
18.4 This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
18.5 The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute substantive matters to be considered in construing same.
18.6 The parties agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice thereof shall be recorded.
18.7 This Agreement may be assigned by Purchaser in whole (but not in part) to an affiliate of Purchaser which Purchaser controls or which is under common control with Purchaser, without the prior written consent of the Seller provided, that Seller, within no less than three (3) business days prior to Closing, shall have received written notice of such assignment(s) together with an executed copy of each assignment and assumption instrument pursuant to which Purchaser assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement to the assignee(s) (including all rights to the Deposit) and the assignee(s) assume and agree to be bound by all of the obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement. No assignment of this
33
Agreement shall release Purchaser herein; provided, however, with respect to any assignment, if Closing occurs the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all its obligations arising under this Agreement before, on and after Closing. For purposes of this Section 18.7, control shall mean the authority to make management decisions regarding the day-to-day operations of the entity and co-authority with respect to customary major decisions.
18.8 Submission of this form of Agreement for examination shall not bind Seller or Purchaser in any manner nor be construed as an offer to sell and no contract or obligations of Seller or Purchaser shall arise until this Agreement is executed by both Seller and Purchaser and delivery is made to each and the Deposit has been made by Purchaser.
18.9 Each of the parties agrees that upon request from the other party following the Closing and without further consideration, such party shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts or instruments as shall be reasonably requested by a party in order to effect or carryout the transactions contemplated herein provided same do not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the party not contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 18.9 shall survive the Closing.
18.10 If the final date of any period set forth herein (including, but not limited to, the Closing Date) falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of Arizona, or the United States of America, the final date of such period shall be extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. The term days as used herein shall mean calendar days, with the exception of business days, which term shall mean each day except for any Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the State of New York, or the United States of America.
Section 19. Confidentiality. All Property Information provided by Seller or its agents and representatives to Purchaser with respect to the Property (Confidential Information) shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, using the same degree of care with respect to the Confidential Information as Purchaser employs with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information of like importance and make no use of any such disclosed information not independently known to Purchaser except in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information (i) to its respective consultants, investors, lenders, appraisers, attorneys, accountants, advisers, and affiliates (collectively, Related Parties), provided the Purchaser shall advise each parties of the confidential nature of such information and that such parties are required to maintain the confidentiality thereof, and (ii) to the extent Purchaser is required to disclose the same pursuant to a court order, applicable laws or regulations or pursuant to a legal dispute between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and the Related Parties shall not be obligated to keep confidential any Confidential Information that (1) is already in the public domain, (2) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Purchaser, or (3) is or becomes available to Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller who, to Purchasers knowledge, is not subject to a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, Seller prohibiting such disclosure. Purchasers obligations under the foregoing provisions of this Section shall terminate on the earlier of (x) twelve months from the Effective Date, or (y) the Closing Date. Except as required by applicable law, each party agrees
34
that it shall not publicize this transaction after the Closing without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. This provision shall survive Closing.
Section 20. Time of Essence. With respect to each partys performance of each of its respective obligations under this Agreement involving a date for performance, whether expressly stated herein or pursuant to an extension or adjournment right, as the case may be, including, without limitation, Closing, TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE.
Section 21. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 22. Rights of First Refusal. If any of the Leases contain tenant rights of first refusal or rights of first offer to purchase the Property (either such right, a ROFR), Seller shall deliver a written right of first refusal or offer notice to the applicable Tenant in accordance with the requirements of the applicable ROFR within five (5) days after the Effective Date. Seller agrees that if any Tenant gives notice of its intent to exercise its ROFR under its Lease or does actually exercise such ROFR, this Agreement shall be deemed to terminate, provided that Purchaser shall receive a full return of the Deposit and Seller shall promptly reimburse to Purchaser all reasonable out-of-pocket and third party property diligence expenses incurred by Purchaser, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
Section 23. Tenant Audit Right. In the event that any Tenant has the right to inspect and audit the books, records and other documents of the landlord under its Lease which evidence the purchase price of the Property, the development and construction costs of the improvements, and/or common area maintenance costs and expenses, Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall retain such books, records and other documents which will enable such Tenant to conduct a full and complete audit thereof until the date that is six (6) months after the latest date that such Tenant could demand an inspection and/or audit thereof pursuant to its Lease and, upon written request therefor from Purchaser, or any successor or assign, thereof, shall provide both Purchaser and such Tenant with reasonable access thereto and otherwise reasonably cooperate with both Purchaser and such Tenant with respect to such inspection and/or audit by such Tenant. In the event such Tenant claims any right to a credit, refund or other reimbursement as a result of such audit, Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Indemnified Parties from any and all Claims relating thereto or arising therefrom. The provisions of this Section 23 shall survive Closing.
Section 24. SEC S-X 3-14 Audit. In order to enable Purchaser to comply with reporting requirements, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser and its representatives information sufficient for Purchaser to comply with SEC Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, including Sellers most current financial statements relating to the financial operation of the Property for the current fiscal year and the most recent pre-acquisition fiscal year, and upon request, support for certain operating revenues and expenses specific to the Property. Seller understands that certain of such financial information may be included in filings required to be made by Purchaser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This Section 24 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year.
35
Section 25. New Leases.
25.1 Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is in negotiations with Value Depot and Mama Browns BBQ for leases of Suite L (4,365 square feet) and Suite G5 (1,550 square feet), respectively, at the Property. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has provided Purchaser with copies of the letters of intent entered into by Seller for such new leases. Purchaser hereby approves the terms set forth in such letters of intent, provided that the final terms and conditions of such leases shall remain subject to the approval of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld.
25.2 In the event that an approved Lease is entered into by Seller with Mama Browns BBQ or Value Depot prior to Closing:
25.2.1. Purchaser shall receive at Closing a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the sum of (i) any unpaid or undisbursed portion of any third party leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowance or other allowances, and other out-of-pocket expenses required to be paid by the landlord in connection with such Lease (collectively, Leasing Costs), and (ii) pro forma rent (including base rent and triple net charges), at the monthly rate provided for in such Lease for the first full lease year following the rental commencement date and the expiration of any applicable abatements or concessions, for the period commencing on the date of Closing and continuing until the last day of the month in which payment of full base rent and triple net charges are projected to commence under such Lease (Stub Rent).
25.2.2. Following the Closing, if the actual rent commencement date under such Lease (the Actual Rent Commencement Date) occurs before the projected rent commencement date (the Projected Rent Commencement Date), Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the difference between the Stub Rent credit received by Purchaser at Closing and the amount that the Stub Rent credit would have been if the Projected Rent Commencement Date for such Lease had been the same as the Actual Rent Commencement Date. If, however, the Actual Rent Commencement Date under such Lease does not occur on or before the Projected Rent Commencement Date, then from and after the Projected Rent Commencement Date Seller shall pay to Purchaser, on the first day of each month following the Projected Rent Commencement Date until the Actual Rent Commencement Date occurs, additional pro forma rent (including base rent and triple net charges) at the monthly rate set forth above (Additional Stub Rent); provided, however, such Additional Stub Rent shall be pro rated for the calendar month in which the Actual Rent Commencement Date occurs under such Lease.
25.2.3. Seller, at Sellers sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any improvements required to be constructed by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Lease entered into with Mama Browns BBQ or Value Depot in order to bring the applicable space to white box condition, as described in the approved letters of intent with Mama Browns BBQ and Value Depot (such improvements being herein referred to as the Landlord Improvements). Following the Closing, Seller and its contractors and subcontractors shall have a license to enter the applicable space for the purpose of constructing the Landlord Improvements. Any construction undertaken by Seller shall be diligently undertaken and performed in a good and workmanlike manner, with new materials, free of all liens, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances and regulations governing construction,
36
and in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with the occupancy of the other tenants of the Property or otherwise unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Property. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its successors and assigns, from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense to the extent arising from construction of the Landlord Improvements by Seller or its contractors, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser, its agents, contractors or representatives.
25.2.4. Following the Closing and prior to commencing or continuing construction of any Landlord Improvements, Seller shall obtain or require its contractor to obtain and deliver to Purchaser evidence of, and thereafter maintain so long as such construction activity is occurring, at least the minimum insurance coverages set forth below:
(a) Commercial General Liability insurance covering all operations by or on behalf of the Seller and its contractor(s), in an amount no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, naming Purchaser as an additional insured, covering personal injury liability, premises and operations, products and completed operations, broad form property damage (including completed operations), explosions, collapse, and underground hazards, and contractual liability;
(b) Automobile liability insurance coverage including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned automobiles, with limits of not less than $500,000 combined single limit each accident for bodily injury or property damage;
(c) Workers compensation and employers liability insurance; and
(d) Fire and extended coverage insurance with respect to the applicable premises, naming Purchaser as the insured, in the so-called Builders Risk 100% Completed Value Non-Reporting form.
25.2.5. This Section 25 shall survive the Closing.
Section 26. Master Leases.
26.1 In the event that an approved Lease is not entered into with Mama Browns BBQ for Suite G5 prior to Closing, then at Closing Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (Master Lessee), an affiliate of Seller, shall enter into an agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which Master Lessee shall master lease such premises from Purchaser for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date (the Master Lease Period) upon the following terms and conditions:
26.1.1. Master Lessee shall provide an allowance to Purchaser in the amount of up to $345,000 with respect to base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs attributable to Suite G5 during the Master Lease Period (the Suite G5 Rent Allowance), as well as an allowance of up to $105,000 for Leasing Costs (as defined in Section 25.2.1 above) in connection with the leasing of such premises (the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance).
37
26.1.2. Commencing on the date of Closing, and thereafter on the first day of each subsequent month during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall pay to Purchaser the sum of $5,762.00, or an appropriate pro rata portion thereof for any partial month (the Suite G5 Master Lease Rent), in payment of base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs allocable to Suite G5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser enters into a Lease with a third party for Suite G5 at any time during the Master Lease Period, then from and after the date on which the tenant under such Lease commences payment of rent until the end of the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall be obligated to pay only the amount of the shortfall, if any, between (x) the amount of base rent and triple net charges payable by such third party tenant under such Lease, and (y) the Suite G5 Master Lease Rent, and Master Lessee shall be released of any additional liability with respect to Suite G5 Master Lease Rent (regardless of whether the third party tenant thereafter actually pays the amounts due under its Lease).
26.1.3. In the event that Purchaser enters into a Lease of Suite G5 with a third party during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall reimburse Purchaser for any Leasing Costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with such Lease, up to the amount of the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance. Such reimbursement shall be paid by Master Lessee to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Master Lessees receipt of a reimbursement request for such costs from Purchaser, together with copies of invoices or other documentation evidencing such costs. If Suite G5 is fully leased to a third party tenant during the Master Lease Period and the Leasing Costs attributable to such space are less than the full amount of the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance, the Master Lessee shall be entitled to retain the unused portion of the Suite G5 Leasing Cost Allowance. To the extent Suite G5 is not fully leased within the Master Lease Period, however, any unused portion of the Suite G5 Leasing Allowance shall be paid to Purchaser by the Master Lessee at the expiration of the Master Lease Period.
26.2 In the event that an approved Lease is not entered into with Value Depot for Suite L prior to Closing, then at Closing Master Lessee shall enter into an agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which Master Lessee shall master lease such premises from Purchaser for the Master Lease Period upon the following terms and conditions:
26.2.1. Master Lessee shall provide an allowance to Purchaser in the amount of up to $1,000,000 with respect to rents, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs attributable to Suite L during the Master Lease Period (the Suite L Rent Allowance), as well as an allowance of up to $200,000 for Leasing Costs in connection with the leasing of such premises (the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance).
26.2.2. Commencing on the date of Closing, and thereafter at the beginning of each subsequent month during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall pay to Purchaser the sum of $16,871.00, or an appropriate pro rata portion thereof for any partial month (the Suite L Master Lease Rent), in payment of base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses, and insurance costs allocable to Suite L. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser enters into a Lease with a third party for Suite L at any time during the Master Lease Period, then from and after the date on which the tenant under such Lease commences payment of rent until the end of the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall be obligated to pay only the amount of the shortfall, if any, between (x) the amount of base rent and triple net charges payable by such third
38
party tenant under such Lease, and (y) the Suite L Master Lease Rent, and Master Lessee shall be released of any additional liability with respect to the Suite L Master Lease Rent (regardless of whether the third party tenant thereafter actually pays the amount due under its Lease).
26.2.3. In the event that Purchaser enters into a Lease of Suite L with a third party tenant during the Master Lease Period, Master Lessee shall reimburse Purchaser for any Leasing Cost incurred by Purchaser in connection with such Lease, up to the amount of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance. Such reimbursement shall be paid by Master Lessee to Purchaser within five (5) business days after Master Lessees receipt of a reimbursement request for such costs from Purchaser, together with copies of invoices or other documentation evidencing such costs. If Suite L is fully leased to one or more third party tenants during the Master Lease Period and the Leasing Costs attributable to such space are less than the full amount of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance, the Master Lessee shall be entitled to retain the unused portion of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance. To the extent Suite L is not fully leased within the Master Lease Period, however, any unused portion of the Suite L Leasing Cost Allowance shall be paid to Purchaser by the Master Lessee at the expiration of the Master Lease Period.
26.3 During the Master Lease Period, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to market and lease any premises which are master leased pursuant to this Section 26 (the Master Leased Space) in accordance with sound, reasonable and prudent leasing practices. Purchaser agrees that all new Leases of Master Leased Space entered into by Purchaser during the Master Lease Period shall be on market terms, including, without limitation, with respect to any free rent or reduced rent periods or other concessions provided under or in connection with such new Leases. Promptly after execution thereof, and in any event upon request, Purchaser shall provide Master Lessee with a copy of any Lease of the Master Leased Space executed by Purchaser during the Master Lease Period.
26.4 During the Master Lease Period Master Lessee shall have the non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, either directly or through Master Lessees agents, to solicit prospective tenants for the Master Leased Space. Purchaser shall approve or disapprove of any letter of intent or lease proposed by Master Lessee within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by Purchaser of a request for approval from Master Lessee. Approval of any such proposed letter of intent or lease shall be within Purchasers discretion, provided that Purchaser shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any such proposed letter of intent or lease so long as the letter of intent or proposed lease meets the leasing guidelines attached hereto as Schedule 26.4. If Purchaser does not approve or disapprove a proposed lease or letter of intent within the ten (10) day approval period described above, such letter of intent or proposed lease shall be deemed approved.
26.5 Master Lessee, at Master Lessees sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any Landlord Improvements required to be constructed by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Lease of the Master Leased Space. Subject to (i) Purchasers approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the contractor for the Landlord Improvements, and (ii) Purchasers execution of an approved Lease for the applicable space, Master Lessee and its contractors and subcontractors shall have a license to enter the applicable space for the purpose of constructing the Landlord Improvements. Any construction undertaken by Master Lessee shall be diligently
39
undertaken and performed in a good and workmanlike manner, with new materials, free of all liens, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances and regulations governing construction, and in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with the occupancy of the other tenants of the Property or otherwise unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Property. Master Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its successors and assigns, from and against any loss, cost, liability, damage or expense to the extent arising from construction of the Landlord Improvements by Master Lessee or its contractor, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser, its agents, contractors or representatives.
26.6 Prior to commencing construction of any Landlord Improvements, Master Lessee shall obtain or require its contractor to obtain and deliver to Purchaser evidence of, and thereafter maintain so long as such construction activity is occurring, at least the minimum insurance coverages set forth in Section 25.2.4 above.
26.7 Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section 26, Master Lessee shall have no obligations or liabilities with respect to the Master Leased Space, including, without limitation, any obligation relating to (i) utilities, (ii) occupying the Master Leased Space or conducting any business therein, (iii) repair, restoration, replacement or maintenance of the Master Leased Space, (iv) compliance with any applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders of any governmental authority (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing as they may relate to Hazardous Materials), and (v) maintenance of insurance pertaining to the Master Leased Space.
26.8 At Closing, Purchaser and Master Lessee shall enter into Master Lease(s) which incorporates the applicable terms of this Section 26.
Section 27. Jakes Rental Support.
27.1 At Closing, Seller shall deliver an agreement from the Master Lessee to Purchaser with respect to the Lease to Jakes Wayback Hamburgers (the Jakes Lease) providing as follows (the Jakes Rental Support Obligation)
27.1.1. If for any monthly period (or partial monthly period) between the date of Closing and the first (1st) anniversary of the date of Closing (the Jakes Rental Support Period), Jakes Wayback Hamburgers (Jakes) fails to pay the full amount of rent (including CAM, tax, and insurance contributions) when and as due under the terms of its Lease, and provided such failure continues after all applicable notice and cure periods set forth in the Jakes Lease have been exhausted by Purchaser, then Master Lessee shall pay to Purchaser upon demand the unpaid amount due for such month (or an appropriate pro rata portion thereof for any partial calendar month period) under the Jakes Lease. The liability of Master Lessee pursuant to the Jakes Rental Support Obligation shall reduce as a result of each payment of rent made by Jakes to Purchaser applicable to the Jakes Rental Support Period. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the rent due from Jakes during the Jakes Rental Support Period, notwithstanding any payment by the Master Lessee pursuant to this Section 27. In the event Master Lessee makes a payment to Purchaser under the Jakes Rental Support Obligation and Jakes later pays said amount to Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly refund to
40
Master Lessee the amount previously paid by Master Lessee. In the event any amounts due from Jakes under the Jakes Lease are abated due to casualty or condemnation, Master Lessees obligation under the Jakes Rental Support Obligation shall be abated accordingly. In no event shall Master Lessee have any liability to Purchaser for rent payments which are due under the Jakes Lease after the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date.
27.1.2. In order to draw upon the Jakes Rental Support Obligation, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Master Lessee certifying that Purchaser has exhausted all notice and cure periods under the Jakes Lease for the applicable month and the amount of any payment shortfall for such month (a Deficiency Notice). Master Lessee shall pay the specified amount to Purchaser within five (5) business days after receipt of such Deficiency Notice.
27.1.3. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 27.1.2 above, if the Closing occurs after the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month of Closing and Seller has not received payment of the monthly rent due from Jakes for such calendar month, Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for its pro rata share of such monthly rent, which credit shall be applied against the Jakes Rental Support Obligation.

II. GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 The Loan.
2.1.1. Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2. Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and no amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.
2.1.3. The Note, Security Instrument and Other Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, each Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4. Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property or to repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all past due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Property or the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, as approved by Lender and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate and Payments.
2.2.1. Interest Generally; Usury.
(a) Except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date.
(b) This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal (but not subject to any Prepayment Consideration) and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
28
2.2.2. Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period immediately prior to such Payment Date. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either (i) a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or (ii) the actual number of days in a month and a three hundred and sixty five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.
2.2.3. Payments Before Maturity Date; Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. Borrower shall pay to Lender: (a) unless the Closing Date occurs on the first (1st) day of a calendar month, on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only at the Applicable Interest Rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2012, calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed during such period by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Closing Date and (b) on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2013 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to interest only at the Applicable Interest Rate, calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in each Interest Accrual Period by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan during each Interest Accrual Period (the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount).
2.2.4. Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Debt, including but not limited to, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the end of the Interest Accrual Period immediately prior to the Maturity Date and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.5. Payments After Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, failure to repay the Debt on the Maturity Date), interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date such Event of Default has ceased to exist or the date of actual receipt and collection of the Debt in full. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by each Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender.
29
2.2.6. Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the balloon payment due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or before the seventh (7th) day after the date the same is due and payable, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
2.2.7. Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, after payment in full of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations in accordance with the terms and provisions of each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, release the Lien of each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents on the Property.
Section 2.3 Manner of Making Payments.
2.3.1. Making of Payments. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof, each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be made in funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., central time, on the date such payment is due, to PNC Bank, National Association, c/o Midland Loan Services, c/o Bank of Oklahoma, Lockbox #2585, 6242 East 41st Street, Tulsa, OK 74135, or such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day following such scheduled due date.
2.3.2. Credit for Payment Receipt. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof, no payment due under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed paid to Lender until received by Lender at its designated office on a Business Day prior to 2:00 p.m., central time. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof, any payment received after the time established by the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Each payment that is paid to Lender within ten (10) days prior to the date on which such payment is due, and prior to its scheduled Payment Date, shall not be deemed a prepayment and shall be deemed to have been received on the Payment Date solely for the purpose of calculating interest due.
2.3.3. Invalidated Payments. If any payment received by Lender is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any Creditors Rights Laws, and is required to be returned by Lender, then the obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated, notwithstanding that the Note may have been marked satisfied and returned to Borrower or otherwise canceled, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.
2.3.4. No Deductions, etc. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense, claim or counterclaims.
30
2.3.5. Application of Payments. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments of principal and interest due from Borrower shall be applied (a) first, to the payment or reimbursement of any expenses (including but not limited to late charges), costs or obligations (other than the principal and interest) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Lender entitled pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, (b) second, to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, (c) third, to the payment of unpaid Reserve Funds required pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and (d) fourth, to the payment of principal then outstanding. If at any time Lender receives less than the full amount due and payable on a Payment Date or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all payments received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in its sole discretion. Lenders acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than the full amount then due and Lenders application of such payments to amounts then due from Borrower shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.
2.3.6. Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender;
(ii) subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.3.7(c) hereof and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Lender); or
(iii) impose on Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or any lending office of Lender or Lenders holding company regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lenders capital or on the capital of Lenders holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Loan to a level below that which Lender or Lenders holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lenders policies and the policies of Lenders holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lenders holding company for any such reduction suffered.
31
2.3.7. Indemnified Taxes.
(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes, excluding (i) Indemnified Taxes measured by Lenders net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the Laws of which Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) taxes measured by Lenders overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lenders lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is resident or engaged in business, (iii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Borrower is located, and (iv) withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America, any state, commonwealth, protectorate territory or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of the failure of Lender which is a Non-U.S. Entity to comply with the terms of subsection (b) below (collectively, Excluded Taxes). If any non-excluded Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non-excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies and hold harmless Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Indemnified Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
(b) In the event that any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (a Non-U.S. Entity) Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of such forms, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the Non-U.S. Entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, Law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
32
(c) Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.3.7, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse Lender for, the payment of, any Other Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes).

Additionally, any such prepayment not actually received by Lender before 2:00 p.m., central time, on the fifth (5th) day of the month must also include the interest which would have accrued on the amount of such prepayment during the entire Interest Accrual Period in which the prepayment is made.
BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT BORROWER DELIVERS A PREPAYMENT NOTICE AND FAILS TO PREPAY THE LOAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PREPAYMENT NOTICE AND THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 2.4.1 (A PREPAYMENT FAILURE), BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER FROM AND AGAINST, AND SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, ALL LOSSES (INCLUDING ANY BREAKAGE COSTS) INCURRED BY LENDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH PREPAYMENT FAILURE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ILLEGAL ACTS, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER.

The greater of (i) one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on a Prepayment Date; or (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium. | |
July 1, 2022 (the Open Period Start Date) through January 1, 2023 (the Scheduled Maturity Date): |
No Prepayment Consideration (i.e., $0.00). | |
Prepayment After an Event of Default but before the Open Period Start Date: |
The Prepayment Consideration set forth in Section 2.4.4 hereof. |
Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration is a bargained for consideration and is not a penalty. Borrower recognizes that Lender would incur substantial additional costs and expenses in the event of a prepayment of the Debt and that the Prepayment Consideration compensates Lender for such costs and expenses (including without limitation, the loss of Lenders investment opportunity during the period from the Prepayment Date until the Maturity Date). Borrower agrees that Lender shall not, as a condition to receiving the Prepayment Consideration, be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any treasury obligation or in any other manner whatsoever. Any Prepayment Consideration shall be subject to reduction if and to the extent characterized as interest under applicable law, by the amount, if any, which would cause the interest on the Note to exceed the Maximum Legal Rate.
2.4.3. Mandatory Prepayments. If Borrower receives any Net Proceeds and if Lender is not obligated to make, and does not make, such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt in any order or priority in its sole discretion.
2.4.4. Prepayments After Event of Default. If, during the continuance of any Event of Default (and prior to the Open Period Start Date), Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in the amount tendered and in such case Borrower shall also pay to Lender, with respect to the amount tendered, Prepayment Consideration equal to the greater of (a) four percent (4.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the date of such tendered prepayment and (b) the Yield Maintenance Premium (provided that all references to the Prepayment Date contained in the definition of Yield Maintenance Premium shall mean the date of said tendered prepayment) which Prepayment Consideration shall be immediately due and payable. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such tender unless it is accompanied by all Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith.

3.1.1. Establishment of Lockbox Account.
(a) Borrower shall, upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (i) establish, and hereby covenants to maintain during any Triggering Event Period, a segregated account (the Lockbox Account) with Lockbox Bank directly into which Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited all Rents (including, without limitation all Lease Termination Payments) or other revenue of any kind from the Property received by each Borrower or Manager, in accordance with Section 3.1.1(b) hereof, and (ii) execute a deposit account control agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, with Lender and Lockbox Bank providing for the sole dominion and control and security interest in the Lockbox Account by Lender (the Lockbox Agreement). The Lockbox Account shall be in the name of Borrower, for the benefit of Lender. The Lockbox Agreement shall require the Lockbox Bank to maintain the Lockbox Account as an Eligible Account, and shall provide that Borrower and Lender or its Servicer shall have the right to electronic access to information regarding balances, deposits into and withdrawals from the Lockbox Account and to receive periodic reports from the Lockbox Bank with respect thereto. Borrower shall not in any way alter, modify or change the Lockbox Account or Lockbox Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during the continuance of a Triggering Event Period, Borrower shall also establish, and hereby covenants to maintain with, Lockbox Bank a lockbox address at the Lockbox Bank (the Lockbox Address).

During any Triggering Event Period, any Rents and any other revenue of any kind from the Property held by Borrower or Manager prior to being deposited into the Lockbox Account shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be held in trust by Borrower or Manager, as applicable, for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager. Borrower warrants and covenants that it shall not rescind, withdraw or change any notices or instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to this Section 3.1.1(b) without Lenders prior written consent.
(c) In the event the Lockbox Bank resigns or is otherwise terminated under the Lockbox Agreement, Borrower shall (i) cooperate with Lender in connection with the appointment of a replacement Lockbox Bank, and (ii) deliver to Lender a fully executed replacement Lockbox Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Lender within thirty (30) days of Lockbox Banks resignation or termination.

35
3.1.2. Establishment of Cash Management Account. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during the continuance of any Triggering Event Period, Lender shall establish an Account (the Cash Management Account) with the Cash Management Bank (which may include one or more book-entry sub-accounts as deemed necessary by Lender). The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Lender, as lender and secured party for Borrower.
3.1.3. Accounts Generally. The Lockbox Account and the Cash Management Account shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Article 12 hereof.
Section 3.2 Daily Transfers from the Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreement shall provide that, so long as no Triggering Event Period is then continuing, on each Business Day on which available funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, Lockbox Bank shall transfer all such available funds (less a peg amount of $1,000 required by Lockbox Bank) to the Operating Account. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during the continuance of any Triggering Event Period, the Lockbox Agreement shall provide that all transfers from the Lockbox Account to the Operating Account shall immediately cease and the Lockbox Bank shall, on each Business Day on which available funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, transfer all such available funds (less a peg amount of $1,000 required by Lockbox Bank) to the Cash Management Account.
Section 3.3 Monthly Disbursements from the Cash Management Account. Provided no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender shall withdraw all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account on the Disbursement Date. Lender shall disburse any amounts transferred to the Cash Management Account representing any Lease Termination Payments to Lender for deposit into the Early Lease Termination Reserve, and Lender shall disburse the balance of such funds in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to Cash Management Bank, for the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Cash Management Account;
(b) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Tax Deposit if required to be made under Section 9.2 hereof;
(c) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit if required to be made under Section 9.2 hereof;
(d) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount;
(e) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, and any unpaid reimbursable costs and expenses incurred by Lender on Borrowers behalf or in the enforcement of Lenders rights under the Loan Documents, if any;
36
(f) Next, to Borrower, funds sufficient to pay all Operating Expenses due pursuant to an Annual Budget, or Approved Annual Budget, as applicable, for such calendar month to Borrower, together with other amounts incurred by Borrower in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property and approved by Lender in it sole discretion;
(g) Next, to Borrower, funds sufficient to pay for Extraordinary Expenses approved by Lender in its sole discretion, if any;
(h) Next, if the Triggering Event was an Event of Default, to Servicer, for the payment of the Servicing Fee; and
(i) Next, all amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after deposits pursuant to clauses (a) through (h) above for the current month and all prior months to Lender, for deposit into the Excess Cash Reserve Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender reserves the right, exercisable at its sole option, to apply Rents and other sums on deposit in or deposited into the Cash Management Account (and any sub-account established thereunder) to the payment of the Debt, in such order, manner, amounts, times and priority as Lender in its sole discretion determines (including to the payment of the items for which the Reserve Funds or the Triggering Event Period Reserve Funds were established, if Lender so elects in its sole discretion), and such reserved rights shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 3.4 Deposit and Disbursement of Funds Allocated for Payment of Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits. Provided no Event of Default is then continuing, all amounts disbursed to Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof to pay Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits shall be deposited by Lender into the applicable Reserve Account established by Lender pursuant to Article IX hereof, and disbursed by Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IX hereof.
Section 3.5 Deposit and Disbursement of Funds Allocated to Triggering Event Period Reserve Funds; Excess Cash Reserve Fund. All amounts disbursed to Lender pursuant to Section 3.3.1 (i) hereof shall hereinafter be referred to as the Excess Cash Reserve Fund. The Excess Cash Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account (the Excess Cash Reserve Account) at the Cash Management Bank. The Excess Cash Reserve Fund shall not constitute trust funds and, at Lenders option, may be (1) commingled with other monies held by Lender, or (2) be established as a separate account at the Cash Management Bank. The Excess Cash Reserve Fund may be (x) applied by Lender to any of the items for which any Reserve Fund was established, as determined by Lender, or (y) held in the Excess Cash Reserve Account as additional Collateral for the Loan. If on any Payment Date no Triggering Event Period is continuing, Lender shall, after the application of amounts held in the Excess Cash Reserve Fund in accordance with subsection (x) above, disburse the balance of the Excess Cash Reserve Fund to the Operating Account. In the event that a Triggering Event Period is continuing solely as the result of clause (b) of the Triggering Event definition, then, to the extent that there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Account to pay in full all amounts required to be paid from the Cash Management Account as and when due and payable or insufficient funds in the
37
Cash Management Account to pay Operating Expenses or Extraordinary Expenses, Borrower may request that Lender allow funds then held in the Excess Cash Reserve Fund to be used to pay such shortfalls and Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such request.
Section 3.6 Borrowers Obligation Not Affected. Subject to the last sentence of Section 3.5 and the provisions of Section 3.7, the failure of Borrower to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, the Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits or any other amounts to Lender as and when the same become due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default, and the insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any such payments, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
Section 3.7 Payments Received Under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers obligations with respect to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, the Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits, and any other escrows or reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrowers obligations to pay Basic Carrying Costs shall (provided Lender is not prohibited from withdrawing or applying any funds in the Accounts by applicable Law or otherwise) be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on or before the date each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

Section 5.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, Licenses and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto to allow the Property to remain consistently competitive in its market. Borrower shall cause the Property to be insured at all times in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article VII hereof. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrowers expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower
49
is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, Laws and ordinances; (iii) the Property and no part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.1, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control.
Section 5.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property prior to delinquency; provided, however, Borrowers obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 9.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid; provided, however, that (i) Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes and Other Charges in the event Taxes and Other Charges have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, and (ii) if the tenant under a Lease is required to pay such Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable Governmental Authority and Borrower timely requests and diligently pursues evidence of such payment, and further provided that no enforcement action has been commenced by the applicable Governmental Authority resulting from any tenants failure to pay Taxes or Other Charges, then Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to provide such evidence to Lender. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid all utility services provided to the Property.

50
accordance with all applicable statutes, Laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Lien, Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Lien, Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Lien, Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents being primed by any related Lien.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.2, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control.
Section 5.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against Borrower which might have a Material Adverse Effect.

In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 7.1(a) hereof. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.1(a) hereof.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 7.1 (a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 7.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name Lender and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance, shall contain a non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 7.1(a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; and
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if liability insurance is provided by a separate Policy, then the foregoing endorsement shall not be required and in such event Borrower (and not the insurer) shall give Lender the notice required by this subsection.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence, in the form of a Policy or Acord Certificate acceptable to Lender, that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after five (5) Business Days prior notice to Borrower (unless Lender has a reasonable belief that one or more of the Policies is not in full force and effect or will expire in less than five (5) Business Days) to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

71
(h) Intentionally Omitted.
(i) If insurance for earthquake or special hazards is obtained by Borrower in its sole discretion and without requirement of Lender, then Borrower, when obtaining such insurance coverage, shall meet the insurance requirements hereof except as to matters requiring Lenders further approval, and such insurance coverage: (A) shall be within the meaning of a Policy or Policies; and (B) shall be for the benefit of Lender and all proceeds thereof constitute additional security for the Debt, and Lender shall have all rights with respect to and be entitled to receive all proceeds in the same manner it would receive any Insurance Proceeds in the event the Property is damaged or destroyed by a Casualty or by any risk or loss insured against.
(j) Any failure by Lender to insist on full compliance with all of the above insurance requirements at closing does not constitute a waiver of Lenders right to subsequently require full compliance with these requirements.
(k) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a Non-Conforming Policy), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have (1) received Lenders prior written consent thereto and (2) if required by Lender, confirmed that Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.
(l) Borrower hereby represents that, as of the date hereof, none of the insurance policies required in this Section 7.1 which require coverage for terrorism, except those required under clauses (viii) and (ix) of Section 7.1(a) (such insurance policies, the Applicable Policies) exclude coverage for Acts of Terror (defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that, after the date hereof, any Applicable Policy (other than those required under clauses (viii) and (ix) of Section 7.1(a)) excludes coverage for Acts of Terror, Borrower shall obtain and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained) coverage for such excluded Acts of Terror (the Terrorism Coverage), which such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided, that, Lender, at Lenders option, may reasonably require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the Terrorism Coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase such portion of the Terrorism Coverage as is obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to the TC Cap). As used above, Acts of Terror shall mean acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further
72
modified, amended, or extended, TRIA) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of Acts of Terror. As used above, TC Cap shall mean two times the amount of the Insurance Premiums that are payable at such time in respect of the casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance).
(m) Lender hereby agrees that the Policies maintained by Borrower as of the date hereof (including any Non-Conforming Policies) are acceptable and satisfy the requirements set forth in this Article 7.
Section 7.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a Casualty), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender (provided that such notice shall not be required if the estimated cost to restore are less than $100,000) and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (a Restoration) and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Lender shall have the right, at its option, to participate in any settlement discussions with respect to any claims under any Policy and Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Lender shall have the right, at its option, to approve the final settlement with respect to any Casualty in which Net Proceeds or the costs to complete the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the exclusive right, at its option, to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.
Section 7.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Lender shall have the right, at its option, to approve the final settlement with respect to any Condemnation in which Net Proceeds or the costs to complete the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold.

Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate
73
or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

The term Casualty Retainage shall mean an amount equal to ten percent

Section 9.1 Reserve Funds and Reserve Accounts Generally.

(b) Borrower shall pay Lender the Disbursement Fee as a condition to each disbursement from the Reserve Accounts (other than the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account), as compensation for Lenders review, analysis and processing of such disbursement.
(c) Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Repairs; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured
(d) Each Reserve Fund and each Reserve Account shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Article XII hereof.
Section 9.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) a percentage of the Taxes (the Monthly Tax Deposit) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to ratably accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective delinquency dates and (b) a percentage of the Insurance Premiums (the Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit) that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to ratably accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund), which Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be deposited by Lender into an Account established to hold such fund (the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1(b) hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,
86
forfeiture, tax Lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1(b) hereof, respectively, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may communicate with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to waive the Monthly Tax Deposit and the Monthly Insurance Deposit so long as no Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event, the foregoing waiver shall terminate (until the Triggering Event Period terminates) and Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any Triggering Event a lump sum amount into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, which amount, together with future Monthly Tax Deposits and future Monthly Insurance Deposits, shall be sufficient to pay all Taxes prior to delinquency and all Insurance Premiums when the same next become due.
Section 9.3 Early Lease Termination Reserve. If any tenant (a Terminating Tenant) gives notice to Borrower that it is exercising an early termination option set forth in its Lease with Borrower, or if Borrower agrees to allow any tenant to reduce or terminate its obligations under its Lease (subject, in each case, to the restrictions of Section 5.17 hereof), Borrower shall direct such tenant that any Lease Termination Payment in connection therewith, which exceeds $100,000.00, is to be remitted to Lender or, if a Triggering Event Period shall then be in effect, such Lease Termination Payment in excess of $100,000.00 shall be deposited in the Lockbox Account), for application as set forth below. If such tenant remits the Lease Termination Payment in excess of $100,000.00 directly to Borrower, Borrower shall remit the Lease Termination Payment to Lender, for application as set forth below. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the Early Lease Termination Reserve Fund, which Early Lease Termination Reserve Fund shall be deposited by Lender in an Account established by Lender to hold such funds (the Early Lease Termination Reserve Account). A separate Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be maintained with respect to each Lease so terminated. Funds deposited in an Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be disbursed as follows:
9.3.1. Disbursements for Qualified Replacement Lease for Entire Vacated Space. If Borrower enters into a Qualified Replacement Lease for the entire premises previously demised under the Lease so terminated (the Vacated Space), and the tenant under such Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, then all funds in the applicable Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be used first to pay TILC Costs with respect to such Qualified Replacement Lease upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.17 hereof; any funds remaining in the applicable Early Lease Termination Reserve Account after payment of all TILC Costs with respect thereto shall be disbursed to Borrower as follows: (x) if the monthly net rent payable
87
under the Qualified Replacement Lease is greater than or equal to the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, such funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the monthly net rent payable under the Qualified Replacement Lease is less than the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then, provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, all funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments over the remaining term of the Qualified Replacement Lease, until such time as all funds have been disbursed from the applicable Early Lease Termination Reserve.
9.3.2. Disbursements for Qualified Replacement Lease for Less Than Entire Vacated Space. If Borrower enters into one or more Leases each for less than the entire Vacated Space, no disbursements shall be permitted from the Early Lease Termination Reserve except as follows:
(a) Until such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to one or more Qualified Replacement Leases, and the tenant under each such Qualified Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof, is open for business and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, Lender shall from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of written request from Borrower, make disbursements on account of TILC Costs with respect to the Vacated Space, provided, however, that the disbursements with respect to any portion of the Vacated Space on a per-square foot basis shall not exceed the amount of the Early Lease Termination Payment on a per-square-foot basis; and
(b) At such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to one or more Qualified Replacement Leases and the tenant under each such Qualified Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof, opens for business and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, then after payment of all TILC Costs with respect to the re-leasing of such Vacated Space, the funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve shall be disbursed as follows: (x) if the monthly aggregate net rents payable under all such Qualified Replacement Leases is greater than or equal to the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant, and the term of all such Qualified Replacement Leases extends to or beyond the scheduled expiration date of the Lease with the Terminating Tenant, then provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the conditions of clause (x) are not satisfied, then provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments over the period that would have remaining in the term of the Lease with the Terminating Tenant.

(e) Nothing in this Section 9.4.1 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds to make or complete any Required Repair; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Repair.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lenders agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lenders engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Required Repair pursuant to this Section 9.4.1 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Required Repairs made pursuant to this Section 9.4.1. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lenders representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 9.4.1(f) or the completion of Required Repairs pursuant to this Section 9.4.1.
89

(h) All Required Repairs shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(i) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmens compensation insurance, builders risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable Law in connection with a particular Required Repair. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

Certified copies of such policies shall be promptly delivered to Lender upon request.

Subject to the terms of Section 11.3, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued separately and independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such
94
time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (i) Lender is not subject to any one action or election of remedies Law or rule and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, and the other Collateral and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property or any other Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to the Property, or any other Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or all of the other Collateral or any part thereof, in its discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered, to the fullest extent permitted by Law.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 11.3 and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lenders intent to exercise its rights under such power. Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall be not obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, other than Borrowers attorneys fees.

Lenders rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

be controlling. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE UCC IN EFFECT IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA SHALL GOVERN THE CREATION, PERFECTION, PRIORITY AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST CREATED IN THE ACCOUNT COLLATERAL.
Section 13.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances (unless such future notice or demand is otherwise required to be given under applicable law).
Section 13.5 Nonwaiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 13.6 Notices.
All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, and by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 13.6):

COLE MT BROOKLYN NY, LLC c/o Cole Real Estate Investments 2325 East Camelback Road, Suite 1100 Phoenix, AZ 85016 Attention: General Counsel, Real Estate Facsimile No.: 602-778-8780 |

Section 13.7 Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file, and upon Lenders request, shall deliver to Lender for filing, an initial financing statement or statements under the UCC with respect to any portion of the Collateral which is or may be subject to any security interest within the meaning of the UCC in the form required to properly perfect Lenders security interest therein. At any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or that Lender may reasonably request (including, without limitation, all initial financing statements, and any restatements, extensions, continuations, renewals or amendments thereof), in order to perfect, or continue the perfection of, and to protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or by the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments), or to enable Lender, or any agent of Lender, to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents with respect to any portion of the Collateral which is or may be subject to any security interest within the meaning of the UCC, and if Borrower fails to promptly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute such further instruments and documents in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. With respect to any of the Collateral in which a security interest is not perfected by the filing of a financing statement, Borrower consents and agrees to undertake, and to cooperate fully with Lender, to perfect the security interest granted to Lender in such Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, if and to the extent any of the Collateral is held by a bailee for the benefit of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, if required by Lender, promptly obtain an acknowledgment from such bailee that is reasonably satisfactory to Lender and confirms that such bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Lender as secured party and shall only act upon instructions from Lender with respect to such Collateral.
Section 13.8 Waiver of Trial by Jury. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY NATURE,
112
WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER, OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS OR AGENTS, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. BORROWER CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL FREELY CHOSE BY BORROWER CONCERNING THE LOAN, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND SPECIFICALLY THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL CONTAINED HEREIN AND THAT BORROWER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH COUNSEL. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 13.9 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 13.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 13.11 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, provided same is done consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Creditors Rights Law, state or federal Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 13.12 Waiver of Automatic or Supplemental Stay. In the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code by or against Borrower (other than an involuntary petition filed by or joined by Lender), Borrower shall not assert, or request any other party to assert, that the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to
113
enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement, or any other rights that Lender has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against any Guarantor. Further, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision therein to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement against any Guarantor. The waivers contained in this paragraph are a material endorsement to Lenders willingness to make the Loan, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no grounds exist for equitable relief which would bar, delay or impede the exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies against Borrower or any Guarantor.
Section 13.13 Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Property or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency proceeding, then Lender shall immediately become entitled, in addition to all other relief to which Lender may be entitled under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, to obtain: (a) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other appropriate court granting immediate relief from any automatic stay laws (including Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code) so to permit Lender to pursue its rights and remedies against Borrower as provided under this Agreement and the Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Lender at law and in equity under applicable state law; and (b) an order from the Bankruptcy Court prohibiting Borrowers use of all cash collateral as defined under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with any such orders, Borrower shall not contend or allege in any pleading or petition that Lender does not have sufficient grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken by Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Lender from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Borrower to be in bad faith and Borrower further admits that Lender would have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized by state Law.
Section 13.14 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 13.15 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
114
Section 13.16 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrowers ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrowers respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents requested by Borrower or otherwise required hereunder and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or otherwise required hereunder; (iv) securing Borrowers compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all reasonably required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment thereof; (vi) subject to Section 11.3 hereof, enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) subject to Section 11.3 hereof, enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a work out or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account.
(b) Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any material breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any Law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
115
Section 13.17 Exhibits Incorporated. The Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 13.18 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lenders interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 13.19 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents between Borrower and Lender be solely that of debtor and creditor, and that Lender shall have no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower. Nothing herein or therein is intended to, nor shall anything contained herein or therein be construed to, constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner, tenant in common, joint tenant or agent of Borrower, nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender, nor to render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations or contracts of Borrower.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender, Borrower and each Guarantor and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender, Borrower and each Guarantor any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 13.20 Disclosure of Information.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of Borrower and Lender shall be permitted to make disclosures regarding the Loan (including, without limitation, any information obtained and/or provided in connection therewith) to the extent required in connection with their respective ordinary course reporting under applicable Laws (including, without limitation, applicable securities laws), to their respective investors or regulators and/or as may be required by applicable Law, in each case, without the approval of the other Person.
116
(b) Except as otherwise provided by applicable Law, Lender shall utilize all information identified by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender as being confidential or proprietary (Identified Information) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender or Servicer be prohibited from disclosing, or consenting to the disclosure of any information (including, without limitation, any Identified Information) (1) in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation, to any Investor and/or any accountants, legal counsel and other similar agents of any Investor, or any Rating Agencies (which, for the purposes of this Section 13.20(b), shall include any non-hired Rating Agency)(provided that, in ease case, they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information), or as otherwise required by any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, (2) to any of its Affiliates (provided any such Affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (3) as required by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (4) to Lenders independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (5) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by Lender of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (6) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate that is not known by Lender to be subject to a confidentiality restriction with respect thereto.
Section 13.21 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrowers partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 13.22 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 13.23 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or
117
recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lenders exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 13.24 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lenders reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 13.24 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 13.25 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.26 Assignments. None of Borrower, SPC Party or any Guarantor may Transfer this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 6.2 and Section 6.6 hereof. If Borrower is a partnership, the agreements contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the individuals or entities comprising the partnership, and the term Borrower as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor partnership, but any predecessor partnership and their partners shall not thereby be released from any liability. If Borrower is a corporation, the agreements contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and be applicable notwithstanding any changes in the shareholders comprising, or the officers and directors relating to, the corporation, and the term Borrower as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor corporation, but any predecessor corporation shall not be relieved of liability hereunder. If Borrower is a limited liability company, the agreements contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall remain in force and be applicable, notwithstanding any changes in the members comprising the limited liability company, and the term Borrower as used herein, shall include any alternate or successor limited liability company, but any predecessor limited liability company and their members shall not thereby be released from any liability. (Nothing in the foregoing sentences shall be construed as a consent to, or a waiver of, any prohibition or restriction on transfers of interests in such partnership, corporation or limited liability company which may be set forth in the Loan Agreement, any Security Instrument or any other Loan Document.)
118
Section 13.27 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of duplicate originals, and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (and each duplicate original) also may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute a fully executed agreement even though all signatures do not appear on the same page. The failure of any party hereto to execute each counterpart of this Agreement shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SECTION 13.8 OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS ANY SUCH BORROWER MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.
Borrower acknowledges that it has read and understood all the provisions of this Agreement, including the Waiver of Trial by Jury, and has been advised by counsel as necessary or appropriate.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their duly authorized representatives, all as of the day and year first above written.

-30-
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, (y) without duplication, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lenders Revolving Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur later than the Maturity Date, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date.
(iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer reasonably deems material to it;
(B) the Letter of Credit is a commercial letter of credit or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally;
(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00);
(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;
-31-
(E) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuers actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or
(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic restatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term Administrative Agent as used in Article IX included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment;
-32-
and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuers usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the Non-Extension Notice Date) in each such twelve (12) month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
-33-
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an Honor Date), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the Unreimbursed Amount), and the amount of such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral for this purpose) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agents Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.
(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Committed Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Revolving Lenders obligation to make Committed Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lenders obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this
-34-
Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lenders Committed Revolving Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lenders L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
-35-
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C
-36-
Issuers willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuers willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the Letter of Credit Fee) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Guarantor,
-37-
the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Guarantors inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrowers business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Guarantors.
2.04 Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a Swing Line Loan) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lenders Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lenders Revolving Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
-38-
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agents Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lenders Committed Revolving Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Revolving Lenders obligation to make Committed Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
-39-
Revolving Lenders obligation to make Committed Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lenders Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
(g) Maturity of and Limit on Swing Line Loans. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Swing Line Loans may not, during the term hereof, be outstanding for more than ten (10) days in any calendar month.
2.05 Prepayments.
(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or a whole multiple of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00 or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lenders
-40-
Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.
2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or any whole multiple of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.07 Repayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans and all other Obligations outstanding on such date.
(b) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five (5) Business Days after such Loan is made, (ii) the Maturity Date and (iii) the date on which any such Swing Line Loan is required to be repaid in order for the Borrower to remain in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.04(g) hereof.
-41-
2.08 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:
(a) Unused Fees. For each day during the term hereof, the Borrower shall pay a fee to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders in an amount equal to the Daily Unused Fee for such day (all such fees incurred during any given calendar month constituting the Unused Fees for such month). The Unused Fees shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month and as of the Maturity Date.
(b) [Intentionally Deleted.]
(c) Other Fees.
(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
-42-
(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) [Intentionally deleted.]
2.11 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note or Notes, which shall evidence such Lenders Loans (Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans) in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agents Clawback.
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agents Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or
-43-
other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lenders Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
-44-
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lenders receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.15 or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.14 [Intentionally Deleted.]
2.15 Cash Collateral.
(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at JPMC. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (unless provided by the applicable Defaulting Lender).
(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.15 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and the Lenders obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation).
(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or such other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vii))) or (ii) the Administrative Agents good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.15 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03 to the extent that Administrative Agent exercises remedies set forth in Section 8.02(b)), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.
-46-
2.16 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lenders right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).
-47-
(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.04, as applicable, the Applicable Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of that Revolving Lender.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their respective sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (or if a Defaulting Lender takes such action so that it can no longer be characterized as a Defaulting Lender), the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lenders having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.17 [Intentionally Deleted.]
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
-48-
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders.
(i) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (A) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (B) any Taxes attributable to such Lenders failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(ii) Without limiting the provisions of clause (i) above, each Lender and L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Borrower or Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrower or Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to Borrower or Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent or Borrower under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall
-49-
survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lenders reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the interest article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the business profits or other income article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign
-50-
Lender is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a 10 percent shareholder of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the
-51-
extent of indemnity payments (including any such additional amounts) made under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Indemnified Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) Survival; Defined Terms. Each partys obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term applicable law includes FATCA.
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Committed Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
-52-
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the L/C Issuer;
(ii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lenders or Issuing Banks holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders or the L/C Issuers capital or on the capital of such Lenders or
-53-
the L/C Issuers holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders or the L/C Issuers policies and the policies of such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lenders or the L/C Issuers holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders or the L/C Issuers right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lenders or the L/C Issuers intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
3.05 Compensation for Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.06, then, in any such event, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $250.00 and compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
-54-
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07 Survival. All of the Borrowers obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successors appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under Swing Line Loans (whether or not then outstanding).
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) payable by the assignor; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. Except as provided in subsection (i) of this Section 10.06, no such assignment shall be made (A) to a Loan Party or any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute one of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
-89-
(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agents Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or a Loan Party or any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party) (each, a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lenders participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
-90-
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a Granting Lender) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an SPC) the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative Agent as is required under Section 2.12(b)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.04), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
-91-
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPMC assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, JPMC may, (i) upon thirty (30) calendar days notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) calendar days notice to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMC as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If JPMC resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If JPMC resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(i) [Intentionally Deleted.].
10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the Obligations or the enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents or any Swap Agreement, (f) subject to a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower, (h) to holders of equity interest in the Borrower, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or any Affiliate. For the purposes of this
-92-
Section, Information means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party, any member of the Consolidated Group, any Investment Affiliate or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
EACH LENDER AND THE L/C ISSUER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE LOAN PARTIES, AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOAN PARTIES, AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER AND THE L/C ISSUER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective
-93-
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the Maximum Rate). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
-94-
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) a Lender (a Non-Consenting Lender) does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 10.01 but requires unanimous consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable) or (iv) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding par principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C
-95-
ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger are arms-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger or Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger or Lender has any obligation to disclose

any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates.
