Internalization Fee Restriction
On September 18, 2012, upon the recommendation of our advisor, KBS Capital Advisors, our board of directors and conflicts committee determined that, in the event our board of directors determines that it is in our best interest to obtain the personnel needed to become self-managed by entering into a business combination with affiliates of our sponsors (an “Internalization Transaction”), then we will not enter into such an Internalization Transaction unless the advisor or one of its affiliates agrees to proceed with the Internalization Transaction without the payment of any internalization fee or other consideration, whether in the form of a cash payment or in the form of stock, warrants or options.
