Renewal of Advisory Agreement
Moody National REIT II, Inc. (the “Company”), Moody National Operating Partnership II, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and Moody National Advisor II, LLC previously entered into that certain Advisory Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2015 and effective January 20, 2015 (the “Advisory Agreement”). On January 19, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Advisory Agreement (the “Amendment”), whereby the term of the Advisory Agreement was extended for an additional one-year term, expiring January 20, 2017. The terms of the Advisory Agreement otherwise remain unchanged.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment of Dealer Manager Agreement
The Company, the Operating Partnership and Moody Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) previously entered into that certain Dealer Manager Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2015 (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”), which governed the distribution by the Dealer Manager of the Company’s common stock in its continuous initial public offering. Pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company paid selling commissions of up to 7% of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock in the primary portion of its continuous initial public offering (the “Primary Offering”), all of which were reallowed to participating broker-dealers, subject to reductions based on volume and for certain categories of purchasers.
On January 15, 2016, the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Dealer Manager entered into an Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, effective as of that date (the “Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement”) to allow a participating broker-dealer to elect to receive the 7% selling commission either at the time of sale or to have the selling commission paid on a trailing basis as agreed between the Dealer Manager and the participating broker-dealer. In no event will the selling commission paid exceed 7%. The Company will have no obligation to pay the trailing selling commission if the applicable shares are no longer outstanding or total underwriting compensation paid exceeds 10% of the gross proceeds from the Primary Offering.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by the Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, a copy of which was filed with Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-198305), filed on January 15, 2016, and is incorporated by reference herein.
