Exhibit 10.1

DEALER MANAGER AGREEMENT

August 2, 2024

Ares Wealth Management Solutions, LLC
1200 17th Street, Suite 2900
Denver, CO 80202

This Dealer Manager Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Ares Industrial Real Estate Income Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Ares Wealth Management Solutions, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”).

The Company is offering Class S-PR, Class D-PR and Class I-PR shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”), on the terms and conditions described in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Company dated August 2, 2024 (with all exhibits and supplements thereto, and as the same may be amended, revised or supplemented from time to time, the “Memorandum”).  

Subject to Section 14 of this Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Dealer Manager, Shares sold through the Dealer Manager are to be sold through the Dealer Manager, as the dealer manager, and the broker-dealers (the “Dealers”) with whom the Dealer Manager has entered into or will enter into a selected dealer agreement substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit “A” or such other form as approved by the Company (each, a “Selected Dealer Agreement”). Except as otherwise provided in the Memorandum, Shares sold pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering will be sold at a purchase price generally equal to the Company’s prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share applicable to the class of Shares being purchased (as calculated in accordance with the procedures described in the Memorandum), or at a different purchase price made available to investors in cases where the Company believes there has been a material change to the NAV per Share since the end of the prior month (the “Transaction Price”), plus in either case any applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. For stockholders who participate in the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), the cash distributions attributable to the class of Shares that each stockholder owns will be automatically invested in additional shares of the same class (the shares acquired pursuant to the DRIP, “DRIP Shares”). The DRIP Shares are to be issued and sold to stockholders of the Company at the Transaction Price of the applicable class of Shares on the date that the distribution is payable.

Terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Memorandum. Now, therefore, the Company hereby agrees with the Dealer Manager as follows:

1.Representations and Warranties of the Company: The Company represents and warrants to the Dealer Manager and each Dealer participating in the Offering that:

a.The Offering has not been and will not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Shares are to be offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. The Company will use its best efforts to conduct the Offering in compliance with the requirements of Regulation D and will file all appropriate notices of the Offering with the SEC and relevant jurisdictions.

b.The Company has been duly and validly organized and formed as a corporation under the laws of the state of Maryland, with the power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Memorandum.

c.The Memorandum (as amended or supplemented, if applicable), as of its date (or as of the date of any such amendment or supplement, if applicable), does not and will not contain any untrue statements of material facts or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.c will not extend to such statements contained in or omitted from the Memorandum as are primarily within the knowledge of the Dealer Manager or any of the Dealers and are based upon information furnished by the Dealer Manager in writing to the Company specifically for inclusion therein.

d.The Company intends to use the funds received from the sale of the Shares as set forth in the Memorandum.

e.No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares, except such as have already been obtained or as may be required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or applicable state securities laws.

f.Unless otherwise described in the Memorandum, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company at law or in equity or before or by any federal or state commission, regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body, domestic or foreign, which will have a material adverse effect on the business or property of the Company.

g.The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by the Company will not conflict with or constitute a default under (i) its charter or by-laws, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or lease to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, or (iii) any rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company, except (1) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 6 of this Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws, and (2) for such conflicts or defaults that would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

h.The Company has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 6 of this Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.

i.At the time of the issuance of the Shares, the Shares will have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold as contemplated by the Memorandum and the Company’s charter, as amended and supplemented, and upon payment therefor as provided by the Memorandum and this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will conform to the description thereof contained in the Memorandum.

j.The Company has filed all material federal, state and foreign income tax returns, which have been required to be filed, on or before the due date (taking into account all extensions of time to file) and has paid or provided for the payment of all taxes indicated by said returns and all assessments received by the Company to the extent that such taxes or assessments have become due, except where the Company is contesting such assessments in good faith.

k.The Company does not intend to conduct its business so as to be an “investment company” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and it will exercise reasonable diligence to ensure that it does not become an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

l.Any and all supplemental sales materials prepared by the Company and any of its affiliates (excluding the Dealer Manager) specifically for use with prospective investors in connection with the Offering, when used in conjunction with the Memorandum, did not at the time provided for use, and, as to later provided materials, will not at the time provided for use, include any untrue statement of a material fact nor did they at the time provided for use, or, as to later provided materials, will they, omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when read in conjunction with the Memorandum, not misleading. If at any time any event occurs which is known to the Company as a result of which such supplemental sales materials when used in conjunction with the Memorandum would include an untrue statement of a material fact or, in view of the circumstances under which they were made, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Dealer Manager thereof.

m.None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the Offering, any beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, a “Company Covered Person” and, together, “Company Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Company has exercised, and during the term of the Offering will continue to exercise, reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered Person, any Dealer Manager Covered Person (as defined in Section 4.k below) and any Dealer Covered Person (as defined in Section 4.l below) is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company will immediately comply, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and will immediately effect the preparation of an amended or supplemented Memorandum that will contain any such required disclosure and will, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, promptly furnish the Dealer Manager with such number of printed copies of such amended or supplemented Memorandum containing any such required disclosure, including any exhibits thereto, as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request.

n.The Company is not aware of any person (other than any Company Covered Person, Dealer Manager Covered Person or Dealer Covered Person) that has been or will be paid

(directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Shares.

o.With respect to each Company Covered Person, the Company has established procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the Company receives notice from each such Company Covered Person of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to that Company Covered Person, and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to that Company Covered Person.

p.The representations and warranties in Sections 1.m through 1.o are and shall be continuing representations and warranties throughout the term of the Offering. The Company will promptly notify the Dealer Manager in writing upon becoming aware of any fact which makes any such representation or warranty untrue.

2.Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with the Dealer Manager that:

a.It will, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, furnish the Dealer Manager with such number of printed copies of the Memorandum, including all amendments and exhibits thereto, as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request. It will similarly furnish to the Dealer Manager and others designated by the Dealer Manager as many copies of the following documents as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request: (a) this Agreement; and (b) any other printed sales literature or other materials (provided that the use of said sales literature and other materials has been first approved for use by the Company and all appropriate regulatory agencies).

b.If at any time during the Offering any event occurs as a result of which, in the opinion of either the Company or the Dealer Manager, the Memorandum would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in view of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Dealer Manager thereof (unless the information shall have been received from the Dealer Manager) and will effect the preparation of an amended or supplemented Memorandum which will correct such statement or omission.

c.To the extent the Company provides materials to the Dealer Manager specifically for distribution to a Dealer in connection with its due diligence investigation relating to the Offering, such materials, to the knowledge of the Company, will be materially accurate as of the date or dates specified in such materials.

d.It will not conduct the Offering or offer or sell any of the Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D.

f.The Company will notify the Dealer Manager in writing, promptly upon the occurrence of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Company Covered Person and (ii) any

event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Company Covered Person.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Dealer Manager.

The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Company that:

a.The Dealer Manager has been duly and validly organized and formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Colorado, with the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder.

e.The Dealer Manager acknowledges that the Offering is inappropriate for and shall not be used for any form of prospecting, and that the SEC staff has indicated that it believes furnishing copies of a private placement memorandum (or a description of the terms of a security to be privately placed) to lawyers, accountants or other professionals and asking such lawyers, accountants or other professionals to call an offering to the attention of their clients who might be interested or to otherwise facilitate the offering (the “Financial Intermediaries”) may constitute a general solicitation.

Regulation D, and the Dealer Manager covenants that it shall not initiate contact with a Financial Intermediary, other than a registered representative of a registered broker dealer or registered investment adviser, for the purpose of soliciting, directly or indirectly, an offer to participate in the Offering.

The Company will pay the Distribution Fee to the Dealer Manager monthly in arrears. The Dealer Manager may reallow all or a portion of the Distribution Fee to any Dealers who sold the Class S-PR or Class D-PR shares giving rise to a portion of such Distribution Fee to the extent the Selected Dealer Agreement with such Dealer provides for such a reallowance; provided, however, that upon the date when the Dealer Manager is notified that the Dealer who sold the Class S-PR or Class D-PR shares giving rise to a portion of the Distribution Fee is no longer the broker-dealer of record with respect to such Class S-PR or Class D-PR shares, then such Dealer’s entitlement to the portion of the Distribution Fee related to such Class S-PR and/or Class D-PR shares, as applicable, shall cease, and beginning on such date, such portion of the Distribution Fee may be reallowed by the Dealer Manager to the then-current broker-dealer of record of the Class S-PR and/or Class D-PR shares, as applicable, if any such broker-dealer of record has been designated (the “Servicing Dealer”) to the extent such Servicing Dealer has entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or similar agreement with the Dealer Manager (“Servicing Agreement”) and such Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement with the Servicing Dealer provides for such reallowance.  The Dealer Manager may also reallow some or all of the Distribution Fee to other broker-dealers who provide services with respect to the Shares who shall be considered additional Servicing Dealers pursuant to a Servicing Agreement with the Dealer Manager to the extent such Servicing Agreement provides for such reallowance, all in accordance with the terms of such Servicing

Agreement. No Distribution Fee is payable with respect to the Class I-PR shares or shares sold under the DRIP.

f.The Dealer Manager will cease receiving the Distribution Fee with respect to individual Class S-PR and Class D-PR shares when they are no longer outstanding, including as a result of conversion to Class I-PR shares described below.

g.The terms of any reallowance of selling commissions, dealer manager fees and the Distribution Fee shall be set forth in the Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement entered into with the Dealers or Servicing Dealers, as applicable. The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer or Servicing Dealer for direct payment of commissions or any reallowance of the dealer manager fee or Distribution Fee to such Dealer or Servicing Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions or any reallowance of the dealer manager fee or Distribution Fee to Dealers and Servicing Dealers.

h.In addition to the other items of underwriting compensation set forth in this Section 5, the Company and/or Ares Commercial Real Estate Management LLC (the “Advisor”) shall reimburse the Dealer Manager for all items of underwriting compensation referenced in the Memorandum, to the extent the Memorandum indicates that they will be paid by the Company or the Advisor, as applicable, to the extent permitted pursuant to prevailing rules and regulations of FINRA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not indemnify or hold harmless the Dealer Manager, any Dealer or any of their affiliates for liabilities arising from or out of an alleged violation of state or federal 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 material securities law violations as to the indemnitee;

(ii) Such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the indemnitee; or

(iii) 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 SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority

in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

b.The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each officer and director of the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the aforesaid parties may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) any Filing, or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Memorandum, or in any amendment or supplement to the Memorandum, or any Filing, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager specifically for use with reference to the Dealer Manager in the preparation of the Memorandum or any such amendments or supplements thereto or any such Filing, or (c) any unauthorized use of sales materials or use of unauthorized verbal or written representations concerning the Shares by the Dealer Manager or its representatives or agents (other than a Dealer), or (d) any offers or sales in violation of the private placement procedures set forth in the Memorandum, or (e) the failure of the Dealer Manager to comply, through no failure of the Company or its indemnified parties, with any of the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (including without limitation, Rule 506 of Regulation D), or any other applicable state securities laws, rules or regulations, or (f) the material breach by the Dealer Manager of any term, condition, representation, warranty or covenant of the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement, or (g) the failure of the Dealer Manager to maintain its status as a registered broker-dealer in accordance with the rules of FINRA and any applicable state broker-dealer registration requirements or the violation by the Dealer Manager or any of its principals, managers, members, directors, officers, employees or agents of any requirements, rules or regulations of FINRA or any other state laws, rules or regulations governing the licensing of or acting as a securities broker-dealer, and will reimburse the aforesaid parties, in connection with investigation or defending such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Dealer Manager may otherwise have.

c.Each Dealer severally will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each of their officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Dealer Manager, any such director or officer, or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i) in the Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) in any Filing, or (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Filing a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Dealer Manager by or on behalf of such Dealer specifically for use with reference to such Dealer in the preparation of the Memorandum or any such amendments or supplements

thereto or any such Filing, or (c) any unauthorized use of sales materials or use of unauthorized verbal or written representations concerning the Shares by such Dealer or Dealer's representatives or agents in violation of Section VII of the Selected Dealer Agreement or otherwise, or (d) any failure to comply with applicable rules of FINRA, federal or state securities laws or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other state or federal laws and regulations applicable to the Offering or the activities of the Dealer in connection with the Offering (including without limitation Rule 506 of Regulation D), (e) any offers or sales in violation of the private placement procedures set forth in the Memorandum by Dealer or its representatives, employees or agents, or (f) the material breach by the Dealer of any term, condition, representation, warranty or covenant of the Dealer set forth in the Selected Dealer Agreement, or (g) the failure of the Dealer or any of its registered representatives involved with the Offering to maintain their status as a registered broker-dealer or registered representative of the Dealer in accordance with the rules of FINRA and any applicable state broker-dealer registration requirements or the violation by the Dealer or any of its principals, managers, members, directors, officers, employees or agents of any requirements, rules or regulations of FINRA or any other state laws, rules or regulations governing the licensing of or acting as a securities broker-dealer, or (h) the failure by any purchaser of Shares to comply with the investor suitability requirements set forth in the section captioned “Who May Invest” in the Memorandum, and will reimburse the Company and the Dealer Manager and any such directors or officers, or controlling person, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Dealer may otherwise have.

d.Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve it from liability under this Section 6 only in the event and to the extent the failure to provide such notice adversely affects the ability to defend such action. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 6) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

e.The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of

services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

f.The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Dealer, or any person controlling any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of any person controlling the Company or the Dealer Manager, (b) delivery of any Shares and payment therefor, and (c) any termination of this Agreement. A successor of any Dealer or of any of the parties to this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 6.

7. Survival of Provisions.

a.The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company or any person controlling the Company, and (ii) the acceptance of any payment for the Shares.

b.The respective agreements of the Company and the Dealer Manager set forth in Sections 5.c through 5.k and Sections 6 through 15 of this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

8.Applicable Law.  This Agreement was executed and delivered in, and its validity, interpretation and construction shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Colorado; provided however, that causes of action for violations of federal or state securities laws shall not be governed by this Section 8. Venue for any action brought hereunder shall lie exclusively in Denver, Colorado.

9.Counterparts.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

10. Successors and Amendment.

a.This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager and the Company and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person any right, remedy or claim, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Dealers to the extent set forth in Sections 1 and 6 hereof.

b.This Agreement may be amended by the written agreement of the Dealer Manager and the Company.

11.Term and Termination.Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on 60 days’ written notice or immediately upon notice to the other party in the event that such other party shall have failed to comply with any material provision hereof. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, (a) the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all earned but unpaid compensation and reimbursement for all incurred, accountable compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 5 pursuant to the requirements of that Section 5 at such times as such amounts become

payable pursuant to the terms of such Section 5, offset by any losses suffered by the Company or any officer or director of the Company arising from the Dealer Manager’s breach of this Agreement or an action that would otherwise give rise to an indemnification claim against the Dealer Manager under Section 6.b herein, and (b) the Dealer Manager shall promptly deliver to the Company all records and documents in its possession that relate to the Offering and that are not designated as “dealer” copies. Dealer Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to accomplish an orderly transfer of management of the Offering to a party designated by the Company.

12.Confirmation.The Company hereby agrees and assumes the duty to confirm on its behalf and on behalf of Dealers who sell the Shares all orders for purchase of Shares accepted by the Company.

13.Memorandum and Supplemental Information. Dealer Manager agrees that it is not authorized or permitted to give and will not give, any information or make any representation concerning the Shares except as set forth in the Memorandum and any Company-Approved Supplemental Information. For the avoidance of doubt, such Company-Approved Supplemental Information shall not include materials previously approved by the Company for use in the offer and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to prior securities offerings that have been terminated. The Dealer Manager further agrees (a) not to deliver any Company-Approved Supplemental Information to any investor or prospective investor, to any broker-dealer that has not entered into a Selected Dealer Agreement or Servicing Agreement, or to any representatives or other associated persons of such a broker-dealer, unless it is accompanied or preceded by the Memorandum as amended and supplemented, and (b) not to show or give to any investor or prospective investor or reproduce any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company and marked “dealer only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in

connection with the Offering. Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Dealers, will include requirements and obligations of the Dealers similar to those imposed upon the Dealer Manager pursuant to this Section 13.

14.Acting as Dealer and Facilitation of Direct Investments.

a.Except where otherwise inconsistent with its rights and duties as Dealer Manager under this Agreement, the Dealer Manager may act as a Dealer with respect to qualified purchasers (as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), who are also accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D). With respect to such activities, except where otherwise inconsistent with its rights and duties as Dealer Manager under this Agreement, all provisions of this Agreement and form of Selected Dealer Agreement attached hereto (as each may be amended from time to time) that are applicable to Dealers shall apply to the Dealer Manager. The Company and the Dealer Manager shall remain subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement and, as applicable, the form of Selected Dealer Agreement, with respect to the Dealer Manager’s efforts to sell Shares to qualified purchasers.

b.In connection with direct investments in Shares by investors who are accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and are not otherwise represented by a Dealer, the Dealer Manager shall be permitted to have an affiliate of the Dealer Manager that is an SEC-registered FINRA member broker-dealer provide certain administrative and regulatory services in connection with direct subscriptions for Shares by such investors, including, without limitation, the determination that an investment in Shares is suitable for the investor, compliance with Regulation Best Interest or FINRA Rule 2111, to the extent applicable to the particular investor, and the performance of diligence to verify the identity of the investor and compliance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and the implementing rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

15.Suitability of Investors.The Dealer Manager will require that the Dealers offer Shares only to persons who meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Memorandum or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and will only make offers to persons in the jurisdictions in which it is advised in writing that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required and in which the Dealer has all required licenses and registrations to offer Shares in such jurisdictions. In offering Shares, the Dealer Manager, will require that the Dealer comply with the rules set forth in the FINRA Manual as well as all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions of Regulation D, Rule 506(b) promulgated under the Securities Act and FINRA Rule 2111.  Dealers will diligently make inquiries as required by the Selected Dealer Agreement, the Memorandum, or applicable law of all prospective investors to ascertain whether a purchase of Shares is suitable for the prospective investor and in connection therewith, and without limiting the foregoing, Dealers have the responsibility to undertake all reasonable investigation, review, and inquiry to ensure that a prospective investor: (a) meets the minimum income and net worth standards established for an investment in the Shares; (b) can reasonably benefit from an investment in the Shares based on the prospective investor’s overall investment objectives and portfolio structure; (c) is able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on the prospective investor’s overall financial situation; and (d) has apparent understanding of (i) the fundamental risks of the investment; (ii) the risk that the investor may lose the entire investment; (iii) the lack of liquidity of the Shares; (iv) the restrictions on transferability of the Shares; (v) the tax consequences of the investment; and (vi) the background of the Advisor.  In determining that a prospective investor meets the above requirements, the Dealers shall rely on relevant information obtained from the prospective investor pertinent to the determination, including the investor’s age, investment objectives, investment experiences, income, net worth, financial situation, and other investments, as well as any other factors deemed pertinent by the Dealer.  The Dealer Manager will require that the Dealers shall sell the Shares only to those persons who are eligible to purchase such Shares as described in the Memorandum and only through those Dealers who are authorized to sell such Shares. The Dealer Manager, in its agreements with the Dealers, shall require the Dealers to maintain, for at least six years from the date of the sale of Shares, a record of the information obtained to determine that an investor meets the financial qualification and suitability standards imposed on the offer and sale of the Shares.  To the extent Shares are offered to investors other than through a Dealer, the obligations of the Dealers set forth in this Section 15 shall become obligations of the Dealer Manager, and the Dealer Manager shall be responsible for ensuring that such offers and sales comply with the obligations set forth in this Section 15; provided, however, that such obligations shall not become obligations of the Dealer Manager in connection with sales to investors referred to the Dealer Manager pursuant to a Referral Agreement as described in Section 14 above.

16.Submission of Orders. The Dealer Manager will require each Dealer to comply with the submission of orders procedures set forth in the form of Selected Dealer Agreement attached as Exhibit “A” to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dealer Manager may authorize certain Dealers that are “$250,000 broker-dealers” to instruct their customers to make their checks or wire transfers (“instruments of payment”) for Shares subscribed for payable directly to the Dealer or authorize a debit from the customer’s account maintained with the Dealer for the amount of Shares subscribed for by the customer. In such case, the Dealer will collect the proceeds of the subscribers’ instruments of payment and debits and transmit funds to the Company or its designated agent. The procedures for the transmittal of instruments of payment of $250,000 broker-dealers will be set forth in the agreements between the $250,000 broker-dealer and the Dealer Manager. If the Dealer Manager is involved in the distribution process other than through a Dealer, the Dealer Manager will comply with such submission of orders procedures, and will require each person desiring to purchase Shares in the Offering to complete and execute a subscription eligibility form in the form provided by the Company to the Dealer Manager for use in connection with the Offering (an “Eligibility Form”) and to deliver to the Dealer Manager or as otherwise directed by the Dealer Manager such completed and executed Eligibility Form together with an instrument of payment in the amount of such person’s purchase, which must be at least the minimum purchase amount set forth in the Memorandum. Eligibility Forms and instruments of payment will be transmitted by the Dealer Manager to

the Company as soon as practicable, but in any event by the end of the second business day following receipt by the Dealer Manager. If the Dealer Manager receives an Eligibility Form or instrument of payment not conforming to the instructions set forth in the form of Selected Dealer Agreement, the Dealer Manager shall return such Eligibility Form and instrument of payment directly to such subscriber not later than the end of the next business day following its receipt. Instruments of payment of rejected subscribers will be promptly returned to such subscribers.

If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding, please indicate your acceptance thereof in the space provided below for that purpose, whereupon this letter and your acceptance shall constitute a binding agreement between us as of the date first above written.

Very truly yours,
