BLACK CREEK INDUSTRIAL REIT IV INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” refers to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in the annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been omitted. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , filed with the SEC on March 9, 2018 (“2017 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Subtopic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which provides guidance for greater transparency in financial reporting by organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes and manufacturing equipment by requiring such organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The accounting for lessors will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP; however, the standard requires that lessors expense, on an as-incurred basis, certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease. Under existing standards, certain of these costs are capitalizable and therefore this new standard will result in certain of these costs being expensed as incurred after adoption. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for the Company, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and it expects to elect the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. Under the practical expedients election, the Company would not be required to reassess: (i) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (ii) the lease classification at the adoption date for expired or existing leases; and (iii) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. The standard also will require new disclosures within the notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, “Leases (Subtopic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” (“ASU 2018-01”), which updates ASU 2016-02 to include land easements under the updated guidance, including the option to elect the practical expedient discussed above. The Company also plans to adopt ASU 2018-01 when it becomes effective for the Company, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and it expects to elect the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. The Company’s initial analysis of its lease contracts indicates that the adoption of these standards will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment in Real Estate Properties
We first determine whether an acquisition constitutes a business or asset acquisition. Upon acquisition, the purchase price of a property is allocated to land, building, and intangible lease assets and liabilities based on their relative fair value. The allocation of the purchase price to building is based on management’s estimate of the property’s “as-if” vacant fair value. The “as-if” vacant fair value is determined by using all available information such as the replacement cost of such asset, appraisals, property condition reports, market data and other related information. The allocation of the purchase price to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, which may include lost rent, leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. The allocation of the purchase price to above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities results from in-place leases being above or below management’s estimate of fair market rental rates at the acquisition date and are measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining term of the lease, plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal option periods, if applicable, for below-market leases. Intangible lease assets, above-market lease assets, and below-market lease liabilities are collectively referred to as “intangible lease assets and liabilities.”

7



If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt assumed. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of a property are capitalized as incurred in an asset acquisition and are allocated to land, building, and intangible lease assets on a relative fair value basis. Properties that are probable to be sold are to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet when certain criteria are met.
The results of operations for acquired properties are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from their respective acquisition dates. Intangible lease assets are amortized to real estate-related depreciation and amortization over the remaining lease term. Above-market lease assets are amortized as a reduction in rental revenues over the remaining lease term and below-market lease liabilities are amortized as an increase in rental revenues over the remaining lease term, plus any applicable fixed-rate renewal option periods. The Company expenses any unamortized intangible lease asset or records an adjustment to rental revenue for any unamortized above-market lease asset or below-market lease liability when a customer terminates a lease before the stated lease expiration date.
Land, building, building and land improvements, tenant improvements, lease commissions, and intangible lease assets and liabilities, which are collectively referred to as “real estate assets,” are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs associated with the development and improvement of the Company’s real estate assets are capitalized as incurred. These costs include capitalized interest and development acquisition fees. Other than the transaction costs associated with the acquisition of a property described above, the Company does not capitalize any other costs, such as taxes, salaries or other general and administrative expenses. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred.
Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table:
Land
Not depreciated
Building
20 to 40 years
Building and land improvements
5 to 20 years
Tenant improvements
Lesser of useful life or lease term
Lease commissions
Over lease term
Intangible lease assets
Over lease term
Above-market lease assets
Over lease term
Below-market lease liabilities
Over lease term, including below-market fixed-rate renewal options
Real estate assets that are determined to be held and used will be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and the Company will evaluate the recoverability of such real estate assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such real estate assets, and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the real estate asset. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the full lease term. Certain properties have leases that offer the tenant a period of time where no rent is due or where rent payments change during the term of the lease. Accordingly, the Company records receivables from tenants for rent that the Company expects to collect over the remaining lease term rather than currently, which are recorded as a straight-line rent receivable. When the Company acquires a property, the term of each existing lease is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for purposes of this calculation.
Tenant reimbursement revenue includes payments and amounts due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as rental revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred.
In connection with property acquisitions, the Company may acquire leases with rental rates above or below estimated market rental rates. Above-market lease assets are amortized as a reduction to rental revenue over the remaining lease term, and below-market lease liabilities are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining lease term, plus any applicable fixed-rate renewal option periods.
The Company expenses any unamortized intangible lease asset or records an adjustment to rental revenue for any unamortized above-market lease asset or below-market lease liability by reassessing the estimated remaining useful life of such intangible lease asset or liability when it becomes probable a customer will terminate a lease before the stated lease expiration date.

8



The Company recognizes gains on the disposition of real estate when the recognition criteria have been met, generally at the time control is transferred to the purchaser. The Company recognizes losses from the disposition of real estate when known to the Company.

5. LINE OF CREDIT
On September 18, 2017, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement with an initial aggregate revolving loan commitment of $100.0 million , and on June 28, 2018, the Company increased the commitment to $200.0 million . The Company has the ability from time to time to increase the size of the credit facility by up to an additional $400.0 million for a total of up to $600.0 million , subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of other conditions. Any increase to the size of the credit facility may be in the form of an increase in the aggregate revolving loan commitments, the establishment of a term loan, or a combination of both. The maturity date of the line of credit is September 18, 2020, and may be extended pursuant to two one -year extension options, subject to continuing compliance with certain financial covenants and other customary conditions. Borrowings under the line of credit will be charged interest based on either: (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.60% to 2.50% ; or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.60% to 1.50% , each depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Customary fall-back provisions apply if LIBOR is unavailable. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by the Company. A pledge of equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries that directly own unencumbered properties will be provided until such time as the Company elects to terminate such pledges, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company had $46.0 million outstanding under the line of credit with an interest rate of 4.21% ; the unused portion was $153.9 million , of which $40.0 million was available. As of December 31, 2017, there were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit.
The Company’s line of credit contains various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies it believes to be appropriate for these purposes. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, prepaid expenses, other assets, due from/to affiliates, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The table below includes fair values for certain of the Company’s financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the terms “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our ability to raise capital and effectively and timely deploy the net proceeds of our initial public offering, the expected use of proceeds from our initial public offering, our reliance on the Advisor and BCI IV Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), our understanding of our competition and our ability to compete effectively, our financing needs, our expected leverage, the effects of our current strategies, rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic area where we will operate, our future debt and financial position, our future capital expenditures, future distributions and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), other developments and trends of the real estate industry, investment strategies and the expansion and growth of our operations. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “project,” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions, and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:
Our ability to raise capital and effectively deploy the proceeds raised in our initial public offering in accordance with our investment strategy and objectives;
The failure of properties to perform as we expect;
Risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties;
Our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations;
Unexpected delays or increased costs associated with any development projects;
The availability of cash flows from operating activities for distributions and capital expenditures;
Defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers, lease renewals at lower than expected rent, or failure to lease properties at all or on favorable rents and terms;
Difficulties in economic conditions generally and the real estate, debt, and securities markets specifically;
Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”);
Our failure to obtain, renew, or extend necessary financing or access the debt or equity markets;
Conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with the Sponsor, the Advisor, and their affiliates;
Risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks;
Increases in interest rates, operating costs, or greater than expected capital expenditures;
Changes to GAAP; and
Our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. Our stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors,” the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved.

OVERVIEW
General
Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on August 12, 2014 to make investments in income-producing real estate assets consisting primarily of high-quality distribution warehouses and other industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy corporate customers. We currently operate as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and elected to be treated as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership.
We have registered with the SEC an initial public offering of up to $2.0 billion in shares of our common stock in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, consisting of $1.5 billion in our primary offering and up to $500.0 million in shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. We are offering shares of our common stock at the “transaction price,” plus applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The “transaction price” generally is equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock most recently disclosed. Our NAV per share is calculated as of the last calendar day of each month for each of our outstanding classes of stock, and will be available generally within 15 calendar days after the end of the applicable month. Shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are offered at the transaction price, as indicated above, in effect on the distribution date. We may update a previously disclosed transaction price in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share. See “Net Asset Value” below for further detail.
As of September 30, 2018 , we had raised gross proceeds of approximately $127.3 million from the sale of 12.2 million  shares of our common stock and the issuance of notes payable in our public and private offerings, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. See “ Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ” for information concerning our public and private offerings.
As of September 30, 2018 , we owned and managed seven buildings totaling 1.3 million square feet with 10 customers in four markets and a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 6.1 years. Our portfolio was 98.6% leased as of September 30, 2018 .
We have used, and intend to continue to use, the net proceeds from our offerings primarily to make investments in real estate assets. We may use the net proceeds from our offerings to make other real estate-related investments and debt investments and to pay distributions. The number and type of properties we may acquire and debt and other investments we may make will depend upon real estate market conditions, the amount of proceeds we raise in our offerings, and other circumstances existing at the time we make our investments.
Our primary investment objectives include the following:  
preserving and protecting our stockholders’ capital contributions;
providing current income to our stockholders in the form of regular cash distributions; and
realizing capital appreciation upon the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity events.
There is no assurance that we will attain our investment objectives. Our charter places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds. In most cases these limitations cannot be changed unless our charter is amended, which may require the approval of our stockholders.
We may acquire assets free and clear of mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price in cash or equity securities, or a combination thereof, and we may selectively encumber all or only certain assets with debt. The proceeds from our borrowings may be used to fund investments, make capital expenditures, pay distributions, and for general corporate purposes.
We expect to execute our corporate financing strategy by considering various lending sources, which may include long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans, unsecured or secured lines of credit or term loans, private placement or public bond issuances, and the assumption of existing loans in connection with certain property acquisitions, or any combination of the foregoing.
Net Asset Value
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. See our valuation procedures, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures, including important disclosure regarding real property valuations provided by Altus

Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Firm”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including the Advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Generally, all of our real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third-party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation procedures and such appraisals are reviewed by our Independent Valuation Firm. As used below, “Fund Interests” means our outstanding shares of common stock, along with the partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held by third parties (if any), and “Aggregate Fund NAV” means the NAV of all of the Fund Interests.

Under GAAP, we record liabilities for ongoing distribution fees that (i) we currently owe under the terms of the dealer manager agreement and (ii) we estimate we may pay the Dealer Manager in future periods for shares of our common stock. As of September 30, 2018 , we estimated approximately $4.6 million of ongoing distribution fees were potentially payable to the Dealer Manager. We intend for our NAV to reflect our estimated value on the date that we determine our NAV. As such, we do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in our calculation of NAV that may become payable after the date as of which our NAV is calculated.
The valuation for our real estate properties as of September 30, 2018  was provided by the Independent Valuation Firm in accordance with our valuation procedures and determined by starting with the acquisition price of our real properties, which was adjusted based on subsequent events and assumptions used by the Independent Valuation Firm. Certain key assumptions that were used by our Independent Valuation Firm in the discounted cash flow analysis are set forth in the following table:
 
 
Weighted-Average
Rates
Exit capitalization rate
 
5.30
%
Discount rate / internal rate of return
 
6.14
%
In addition, the Independent Valuation Firm assumed a weighted-average holding period for our real properties of 11.0 years.
A change in the rates used would impact the calculation of the value of our real properties. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on the value of our real properties:

The valuation of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2018 was in accordance with fair value standards under GAAP. The key assumption used in the discounted cash flow analysis was the market interest rate. Market interest rates relating to the underlying debt obligations are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs, which we have determined to be our best estimate of current market interest rates of similar instruments. The weighted-average market interest rate used in the September 30, 2018 valuation was 4.21% .

Table of Contents

A change in the market interest rates used would impact the calculation of the fair value of our debt obligations. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, a decrease in the weighted-average market interest rate of 0.25% would not have a material impact on the fair value of our debt obligations. Alternatively, assuming all other factors remain constant, an increase in the weighted-average market interest rate of 0.25% would decrease the fair value of our debt obligations by approximately 0.48% .

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues are comprised of base rent, straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities and tenant reimbursement revenue. Total rental revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , as compared to the same periods in 2017 , due to our acquisition activity during the first three quarters of 2018.
Rental Expenses . Rental expenses include certain property operating expenses typically reimbursed by our customers, such as real estate taxes, property insurance, property management fees, repair and maintenance, and utilities. Total rental expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , as compared to the same periods in 2017 , due to our acquisition activity during the first three quarters of 2018.

Table of Contents

Other Income and Expenses. Other income and expenses, in aggregate, increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , as compared to the same periods in 2017 , due to:
acquisition expense reimbursements due to the Advisor as a result of us commencing our acquisition phase in 2018;
real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense and advisory fees;
interest expense primarily related to the line of credit, as well as to notes payable to investors in our private offering;
other expense reimbursements due to the Advisor primarily relating to compensation for services provided by individual employees of the Advisor; and
general and administrative expenses that primarily consisted of compensation to our independent directors, accounting and legal expenses and other professional services incurred.
Offsetting the increases above was:
higher expense support from the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement.
ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE
Net Loss and Net Operating Income (“NOI”)
We define NOI as GAAP rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1.5 million and $3.0 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , NOI was $1.9 million and $2.7 million , respectively. There was no NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 . We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, impairment charges, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such expenses, which expenses could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe our net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance. Refer to “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of our GAAP net income (loss) to NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 .
Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Company-Defined Funds from Operations (“Company-defined FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)
We believe that FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. Fees deferred or waived by the Advisor and payments received from the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement are included in determining our net income (loss), which is used to determine FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO. If we had not received expense support from the Advisor, our FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO would have been lower. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat acquisition-related costs and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.
FFO . As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.

21

Table of Contents

Company-defined FFO. Similar to FFO, Company-defined FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization and also excludes acquisition-related costs and the performance component of the advisory fee, which are characterized as expenses in determining net income (loss) under GAAP. Only the performance component of the advisory fee not paid in cash is excluded. The purchase of operating properties has been a key strategic objective of our business plan focused on generating growth in operating income and cash flow in order to make distributions to investors. However, the corresponding acquisition-related costs are driven by transactional activity rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, and may not be a useful measure of the long-term operating performance of our properties if we do not continue to operate our business plan as disclosed.
MFFO. As defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”), MFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure used to evaluate our operating performance. Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, but includes the performance component of the advisory fee. Similar to Company-defined FFO, MFFO excludes acquisition-related costs. MFFO also excludes straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases. In addition, there are certain other MFFO adjustments as defined by the IPA that are not applicable to us and are not included in our presentation of MFFO.
We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle. Management does not include historical acquisition-related costs in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are not expected to be incurred once our acquisition phase is complete. We use FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO to, among other things: (i) evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) evaluate potential performance to determine liquidity event strategies. We believe FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO facilitate a comparison to other REITs that have similar operating characteristics as us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio after the completion of the acquisition phase. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO.

We believe that: (i) our FFO loss of $0.3 million , or $0.02 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) in the amount of $1.4 million , or $0.14 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 ; (ii) our FFO loss of $1.2 million , or $0.18 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) in the amount of $2.7 million , or $0.41 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 ; and (iii) our FFO loss of $1.1 million , or $0.82 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) of $2.9 million , or $1.07 per share, for the period from Inception (August 12, 2014) to September 30, 2018 , are not indicative of future performance as we recently initiated the acquisition phase of our life cycle. See “Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity—Distributions” below for details concerning our distributions, which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock by participants in our distribution reinvestment plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements during our acquisition phase are, and will be, net proceeds from our initial public offering, including proceeds from the sale of shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan, debt financings, cash resulting from the expense support provided by the Advisor and cash generated from operating activities. Our principal uses of funds are, and will be, for the acquisition of properties and other investments, capital expenditures, operating expenses, payments under our debt obligations, and distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to fund a majority of our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions, including the repayment of debt and capital expenditures, from operating cash flows and refinancings. There may be a delay between the deployment of proceeds raised from our initial public offering and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investments.

23

Table of Contents

The Advisor, subject to the oversight of our board of directors and, under certain circumstances, the investment committee or other committees established by our board of directors, will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and will engage in negotiations with sellers and lenders on our behalf. Pending investment in property, debt, or other investments, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from our initial public offering in certain investments that are expected to yield lower returns than those earned on real estate assets. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of assets, and undistributed funds from operations.
We believe that our cash on-hand, anticipated net offering proceeds, anticipated financing activities and cash resulting from the expense support provided by the Advisor will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows. Cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily a result of expense support provided by the Advisor during the period and growth in our property operations, offset in part by interest expense and other expense reimbursements paid to the Advisor’s affiliates. Cash used in investing activities of $151.8 million was related to our acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Cash provided by financing activities of $152.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to our net borrowing activity under our line of credit and proceeds from the issuance of our common stock, partially offset by the cash distributions paid to our common stockholders.
Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity
In addition to our cash and cash equivalents balance available, our capital resources and uses of liquidity are as follows:
Line of Credit. On September 18, 2017, we entered into a credit facility agreement with an initial aggregate revolving loan commitment of $100.0 million, and on June 28, 2018 we increased the commitment to $200.0 million. We have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the credit facility by up to an additional $400.0 million for a total of up to $600.0 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of other conditions. Any increase to the size of the credit facility may be in the form of an increase in the aggregate revolving loan commitments, the establishment of a term loan, or a combination of both. The maturity date of the line of credit is September 18, 2020, and may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to continuing compliance with certain financial covenants and other customary conditions. Borrowings under the line of credit will be charged interest based on either: (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.60% to 2.50%; or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.60% to 1.50%, each depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. Customary fall-back provisions apply if LIBOR is unavailable. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by us. A pledge of equity interests in our subsidiaries that directly own unencumbered properties will be provided until such time as we elect to terminate such pledges, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2018 , we had $46.0 million outstanding under the line of credit with an interest rate of 4.21% ; the unused portion was $153.9 million , of which $40.0 million was available.
Debt Covenants. Our line of credit contains various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. These covenants may limit our ability to incur additional debt, to make borrowings under our line of credit, or to pay distributions. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2018 .
Offering Proceeds. As of September 30, 2018 , aggregate gross proceeds raised from the public and private offerings, including proceeds raised through our distribution reinvestment plan, were $127.3 million ( $113.4 million net of direct selling costs).
Distributions . We intend to accrue and make cash distributions on a regular basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , 100.0% of our total gross cash distributions were funded from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis; specifically 52.5% of our total gross cash distributions were paid from cash provided by expense support from the Advisor, and 47.5% of our total gross cash distributions were funded with proceeds from shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Some or all of our future cash distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, such as cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets), proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, proceeds from sales of assets, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates (including cash received pursuant to the expense support agreement), interest income from our cash balances, and the net proceeds from primary shares sold in the initial public offering. We have not established a cap on the amount of our cash distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. The amount of any cash distributions will be determined by our board of directors, and will depend on, among other things, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by our board.

For the fourth quarter of 2018 , our board of directors authorized monthly cash distributions to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on the last business day of each month for the fourth quarter of 2018 , or October 31, 2018, November 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 (each a “Distribution Record Date”). The distributions were authorized at a quarterly rate of (i) $0.13625 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.13625 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. This quarterly rate is equal to a monthly rate of (i) $0.04542 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.04542 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. Cash distributions for each month of the fourth quarter of 2018 have been or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those electing to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan following the close of business on the respective Distribution Record Date applicable to such monthly distributions.
There can be no assurances that the current distribution rate or amount per share will be maintained. In the near-term, we expect that we may need to continue to rely on expense support from the Advisor and sources other than cash flows from operations, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay cash distributions, which if insufficient could negatively impact our ability to pay cash distributions.
The following table outlines sources used, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay total gross cash distributions (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan) for the quarters ended as of the dates indicated below:

As of November 5, 2018 , approximately $1.84 billion in shares of our common stock remained available for sale pursuant to our initial public offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, including approximately $498.3 million in shares of common stock available for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan, which may be reallocated for sale in our primary offering.
Acquisitions Under Contract
As of November 5, 2018, we had entered into contracts to acquire properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $87.9 million, comprised of three industrial buildings totaling 0.9 million square feet with three customers. There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition of the properties under contract.
Completed Acquisitions
Midway Industrial Center . On October 22, 2018, we acquired one industrial building totaling approximately 0.1 million square feet (the “Midway Industrial Center”). The Midway Industrial Center is located in the Baltimore/DC market and is 100% occupied by two customers with a remaining lease term of 2.4 years. The total purchase price was $8.0 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, acquisition costs and other closing costs. We funded this acquisition using proceeds from the public offering and borrowings from our line of credit.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
A summary of future obligations as of December 31, 2017 was disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business from the future obligations disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2018 , we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Subtopic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which provides guidance for greater transparency in financial reporting by organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes and manufacturing equipment by requiring such organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The accounting for lessors will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP; however, the standard requires that lessors expense, on an as-incurred basis, certain initial direct costs that are not incremental

26

Table of Contents

in negotiating a lease. Under existing standards, certain of these costs are capitalizable and therefore this new standard will result in certain of these costs being expensed as incurred after adoption. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard when it becomes effective for us, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and we expect to elect the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. Under the practical expedients election, we would not be required to reassess: (i) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (ii) the lease classification at the adoption date for expired or existing leases; and (iii) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. The standard also will require new disclosures within the notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, “Leases (Subtopic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” (“ASU 2018-01”), which updates ASU 2016-02 to include land easements under the updated guidance, including the option to elect the practical expedient discussed above. We also plan to adopt ASU 2018-01 when it becomes effective for us, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and we expect to elect the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. Our initial analysis of our lease contracts indicates that the adoption of these standards will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions, and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Investment in Real Estate Properties
When we acquire a property, we allocate the purchase price of the acquisition based upon our assessment of the fair value of various components, including to land, building, land and building improvements, and intangible lease assets and liabilities. Fair value determinations are based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as certain available market information. The fair value of land, building, and land and building improvements considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The fair value of intangible lease assets is based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, current market conditions and market rates, the customer’s credit quality and costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of above- and below-market leases is calculated as the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and our estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, using a discount rate that reflects the risks associates with the leases acquired and measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider customer improvements, leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses.
Impairment of Real Estate Properties
We review our investment in real estate properties individually whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded for the difference between estimated fair value of the real estate property and the carrying amount when the estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of the real estate property are less than the real estate property carrying amount. Our estimates of future cash flows and liquidation values require us to make assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property, and expected ownership periods that can be difficult to predict.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We may be exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and optimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we plan to borrow on a fixed interest rate basis for longer-term debt and utilize interest rate swap agreements on certain variable interest rate debt in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations. As of September 30, 2018 , our debt outstanding consisted of borrowings under our line of credit and notes payable to investors in our private offering.
Fixed Interest Rate Debt. As of September 30, 2018 , our fixed interest rate debt consisted of $0.4 million of notes payable issued pursuant to our private offering. The interest rate on these notes is fixed and therefore the notes are not subject to interest rate fluctuations. Based on our debt as of September 30, 2018 , we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates will have a significant impact on our future earnings or operating cash flows.
Variable Interest Rate Debt.  As of  September 30, 2018 , our variable interest rate debt consisted of  $46.0 million  of borrowings under our line of credit. Interest rate changes on our variable-rate debt could impact our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of such debt. As of  September 30, 2018 , we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on  $46.0 million  of borrowings. A hypothetical 10% change in the average interest rate on the outstanding balance of our variable interest rate debt as of  September 30, 2018 , would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.1 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2018 . Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2018 , our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2017 Form 10-K, as updated in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2018 (the “Second Quarter 2018 10-Q”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. The risks described in our 2017 Form 10-K and our Second Quarter 2018 10-Q are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
With the exception of the risk factor set forth below, which updates the risk factors disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K and our Second Quarter 2018 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K and our Second Quarter 2018 10-Q.
RISKS RELATED TO THE ADVISOR AND ITS AFFILIATES
We will compete with entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of the Sponsor, for whom affiliates of the Sponsor provide certain advisory or management services, for opportunities to acquire or sell investments, and for customers, which may have an adverse impact on our operations.
We will compete with entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of the Sponsor, whether existing or created in the future, as well as entities for whom affiliates of the Sponsor provide certain advisory or management services, for opportunities to acquire, lease, finance or sell certain types of properties. We may also buy, finance or sell properties at the same time as these entities are buying, financing or selling properties. In this regard, there is a risk that we will purchase a property that provides lower returns to us than a property purchased by entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of the Sponsor and entities for whom affiliates of the Sponsor provide certain advisory or management services. Certain entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of the Sponsor own and/or manage properties in geographical areas in which we expect to own properties. Therefore, our properties may compete for customers with other properties owned and/or managed by these entities. The Advisor may face conflicts of interest when evaluating customer leasing opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and/or managed by these entities and these conflicts of interest may have a negative impact on our ability to attract and retain customers.
The Sponsor and the Advisor have implemented lease allocation guidelines to assist with the process of the allocation of leases when we and certain other entities to which affiliates of the Advisor are providing certain advisory services have potentially competing properties with respect to a particular customer. Pursuant to the lease allocation guidelines, if we have an opportunity to bid on a lease with a prospective customer and one or more of these other entities has a potentially competing property, then, under certain circumstances, we may not be permitted to bid on the opportunity and in other circumstances, we and the other entities will be permitted to participate in the bidding process. The lease allocation guidelines are overseen by a joint management committee consisting of our management committee and certain other management representatives associated with other entities to which affiliates of the Advisor are providing similar services.
Because affiliates of the Sponsor and the Advisor currently sponsor and in the future may advise other investment vehicles (each, an “Investment Vehicle”) with overlapping investment objectives, strategies and criteria, potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to industrial real estate investment opportunities (“Industrial Investments”). In order to manage this potential conflict of interest, in allocating Industrial Investments among the Investment Vehicles, the Sponsor follows an allocation policy (the “Allocation Policy”) which currently provides that if the Sponsor or one of its affiliates is awarded and controls an Industrial Investment that is suitable for more than one Investment Vehicle, based upon various Allocation Factors (defined below), including without limitation availability of capital, portfolio objectives, diversification goals, target investment markets, return requirements, investment timing and the Investment Vehicle’s applicable approval discretion and timing, then the Industrial Investment will be allocated to Investment Vehicles on a rotational basis and will be offered to the Investment Vehicle at the top of the rotation list (that is, the Investment Vehicle that has gone the longest without being allocated an Industrial Investment). If an Investment Vehicle on the list declines the Industrial Investment, it will be rotated to the bottom of the rotation list. Exceptions may be made to the Allocation Policy for (x) transactions necessary to accommodate an exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (y) characteristics of a particular Industrial Investment or Investment Vehicle, such as adjacency to an existing asset, legal, regulatory or tax concerns or benefits, portfolio balancing or other Allocation Factors listed below, which make the Industrial Investment more advantageous to one of the Investment Vehicles. In addition, the Sponsor may from time to time specify that it will not seek new allocations for more than one Investment Vehicle until certain minimum allocation levels are reached.

29

Table of Contents

The Sponsor may from time to time grant to certain Investment Vehicles certain exclusivity, rotation or other priority with respect to Industrial Investments or other investment opportunities. The Sponsor or its affiliates may grant additional special priorities in the future and from time to time. In addition, to the extent that a potential conflict of interest arises with respect to an investment opportunity other than an Industrial Investment, the Sponsor currently expects to manage the potential conflict of interest by allocating the investment in accordance with the principles of the Allocation Policy the Sponsor follows with respect to Industrial Investments.
“Allocation Factors” are those factors that the Sponsor maintains and updates from time to time based on review by the Sponsor’s Head of Real Estate. Current examples of Allocation Factors include:
Overall investment objectives, strategy and criteria, including product type and style of investing (for example, core, core plus, value-add and opportunistic); 
The general real property sector or debt investment allocation targets of each program and any targeted geographic concentration; 
The cash requirements of each program; 
The strategic proximity of the investment opportunity to other assets; 
The effect of the acquisition on diversification of investments, including by type of property, geographic area, customers, size and risk; 
The policy of each program relating to leverage of investments; 
The effect of the acquisition on loan maturity profile; 
The effect on lease expiration profile; 
Customer concentration; 
The effect of the acquisition on ability to comply with any restrictions on investments and indebtedness contained in applicable governing documents, SEC filings, contracts or applicable law or regulation;
The effect of the acquisition on the applicable entity’s intention not to be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act; 
Legal considerations, such as Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (“FIRPTA”), that may be applicable to specific investment platforms; 
The financial attributes of the investment opportunity; 
Availability of financing; 
Cost of capital; 
Ability to service any debt associated with the investment opportunity; 
Risk return profiles; 
Targeted distribution rates; 
Anticipated future pipeline of suitable investments; 
Expected holding period of the investment opportunity and the applicable entity’s remaining term; 
Whether the applicable entity still is in its fundraising and acquisition stage, or has substantially invested the proceeds from its fundraising stage; 
Whether the applicable entity was formed for the purpose of making a particular type of investment; 
Affiliate and/or related party considerations; 
The anticipated cash flow of the applicable entity and the asset; 
Tax effects of the acquisition, including on REIT or partnership qualifications; 
The size of the investment opportunity; and 
The amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment.
The Sponsor may modify its overall allocation policies from time to time. Any changes to the Sponsor’s allocation policies will be timely reported to our Conflicts Resolution Committee. The Advisor will be required to provide information to our board of directors on a quarterly basis to enable our board of directors, including the independent directors, to determine whether such policies are being fairly applied.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Use of Proceeds
On February 18, 2016, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-200594), pursuant to which we are making the initial public offering of up to $2.0 billion in shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act, and the initial public offering commenced the same day. The initial public offering will end on February 18, 2019, unless extended by our board of directors in accordance with federal securities laws.
The table below summarizes the gross offering proceeds raised from our initial public offering, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan; the direct selling costs incurred by certain of our affiliates on our behalf in connection with the issuance and distribution of our registered securities; and the offering proceeds net of those direct selling costs.

This amount excludes the distribution fees paid to the Dealer Manager, all or a portion of which are reallowed by the Dealer Manager to participating broker dealers or broker dealers servicing accounts of investors who own Class T shares or Class W shares, referred to as servicing broker dealers. The distribution fees are not paid from and do not reduce offering proceeds, but rather they reduce the distributions payable to holders of Class T shares and Class W shares.
As of September 30, 2018 , we had acquired seven buildings comprised of approximately  1.3 million  square feet for a total purchase price of approximately  $149.4 million .
Share Redemption Program
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our share redemption program may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of our common stock redeemed for cash. To the extent our board of directors determines that we have sufficient available cash for redemptions, we initially intend to redeem shares under our share redemption program on a monthly basis; however, our board of directors may determine from time to time to adjust the timing of redemptions or suspend, terminate or otherwise modify our share redemption program.
While stockholders may request on a monthly basis that we redeem all or any portion of their shares pursuant to our share redemption program, we are not obligated to redeem any shares and may choose to redeem only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be redeemed in any particular month, in our discretion. In addition, our ability to fulfill redemption requests is subject to a number of limitations. As a result, share redemptions may not be available each month. Under our share redemption program, to the extent we determine to redeem shares in any particular month, we will only redeem shares as of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Redemption Date”). Redemptions will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Redemption Date, except that all shares of our common stock that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95.0% of the transaction price and Class T shares that have been outstanding for at least one year but less than two years will be redeemed at 97.5% of the transaction price. Each of these deductions is referred to as an “Early Redemption Deduction.” An Early Redemption Deduction will not be applied with respect to: (i) Class W shares and Class I shares that have been outstanding for at least one year; and (ii) Class T shares that have been outstanding for at least two years. The “transaction price” generally will be equal to the NAV per share of our common stock most recently disclosed by us. We will redeem shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share, including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price, in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to the NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share. An Early Redemption Deduction may be waived in certain

31

Table of Contents

circumstances including: (i) in the case of redemption requests arising from the death or qualified disability of the holder; (ii) in the event that a stockholder’s shares are redeemed because the stockholder has failed to maintain the $2,000 minimum account balance; or (iii) with respect to shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan or received from us as a stock dividend. To have shares redeemed, a stockholder’s redemption request and required documentation must be received in good order by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable month. Settlements of share redemptions will be made within three business days of the Redemption Date. An investor may withdraw its redemption request by notifying the transfer agent before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day of the applicable month.
Under our share redemption program, we may redeem during any calendar month shares whose aggregate value (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) is 2.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous quarter and during any calendar quarter whose aggregate value (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) is up to 5.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter. During a given quarter, if in each of the first two months of such quarter the 2.0% redemption limit is reached and stockholders’ redemptions are reduced pro rata for such months, then in the third and final month of that quarter, the applicable limit for such month will likely be less than 2.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month because the redemptions for that month, combined with the redemptions in the previous two months, cannot exceed 5% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter.
Although the vast majority of our assets consist of properties that cannot generally be readily liquidated on short notice without impacting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition, we intend to maintain a number of sources of liquidity including: (i) cash equivalents (e.g. money market funds), other short-term investments, U.S. government securities, agency securities and liquid real estate-related securities; and (ii) one or more borrowing facilities. We may fund redemptions from any available source of funds, including operating cash flows, borrowings, proceeds from this offering and/or sales of our assets.
Should redemption requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than redeeming our shares is in the best interests of the company as a whole, then we may choose to redeem fewer shares than have been requested to be redeemed, or none at all. In the event that we determine to redeem some but not all of the shares submitted for redemption during any month for any of the foregoing reasons, shares submitted for redemption during such month will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied redemption requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share redemption program, as applicable. If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no redemption requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares redeemed the following month must resubmit their redemption requests.
The preceding summary does not purport to be a complete summary of our share redemption program and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the share redemption program, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to our 2017 Form 10-K.

3.(d)
Letter of Credit .
(i)
At Purchaser's election, in lieu of paying all or any portion of the Deposit in cash, Purchaser shall have the right to deliver to the Title Company an irrevocable documentary letter of credit in the original face amount of any or all of the Deposit, naming the Title Company as the beneficiary thereof, drawn on by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Seller and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller (individually and collectively the " Letter of Credit "). At any time prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may replace all or any portion of the Deposit consisting of cash with a Letter of Credit or replace any previously delivered Letter of Credit, with either a replacement Letter of Credit or cash in an amount equal to the original face amount of the Letter of Credit subject to replacement.
(ii)
In the event Purchaser delivers a Letter of Credit to the Title Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(i), such Letter of Credit shall constitute a portion of the Deposit and be treated as a portion of the Deposit for purposes of this Agreement.

Upon delivery of the Letter of Credit to Seller, when permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Letter of Credit shall permit the holder (i.e., Seller) to draw down all or any portion of the proceeds thereof by presenting the Letter of Credit for payment accompanied only by Seller's certification that Seller is expressly entitled to delivery of the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. The Letter of Credit shall expire not earlier than the earlier of (1) the date on which the Closing occurs, or (2) three hundred sixty-five (365) days after issuance. If the Closing will not occur at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Purchaser on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, which renewal shall be performed by the delivery of a new Letter of Credit to the Title Company. In the event that

5



(A) Purchaser fails to renew the Letter of Credit on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration and/or termination of such Letter of Credit or (B) the Title Company receives notice from the issuer of the Letter of Credit that the same will be terminated or revoked, the Title Company shall draw upon such Letter of Credit by presenting the Letter of Credit for payment prior to its expiration, termination and/or revocation and the Title Company shall treat the proceeds of such draw in the same manner as the Deposit and continue to hold such proceeds in escrow in accordance with this Agreement.
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser hereby irrevocably and specifically authorizes and directs the Title Company to draw down on any Letter of Credit prior to the expiration of such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3(d)(ii) , and Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights to deliver instructions to the Title Company that contradict the terms of this Section 3(d) ; provided, however , that after such draw, the Title Company shall treat the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in the same manner as the Deposit and continue to hold the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement. If the Title Company complies with the terms of this Section 3(d) by drawing upon the Letter of Credit when required under Section 3(d)(ii) and treating the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in the same manner as the Deposit and continuing to hold the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights, claims or causes of action Purchaser might otherwise have against the Title Company arising out of relating to the Title Company’s treatment and handling of the Letter of Credit.
(iv)
At Closing, or in the event Purchaser is earlier entitled to obtain the Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Title Company shall deliver the Letter of Credit to Purchaser marked "cancelled." If the Deposit is delivered to the Title Company in the form of the Letter of Credit, all references herein to (1) the right of Seller to retain or receive (or words having the same or similar import) all or any portion of the Deposit shall be construed as meaning the obligation of the Title Company to: (A) deliver to Seller the original Letter of Credit, together with such transfer documents required by the issuer thereof to transfer same to Seller; or (B) if requested by Seller, to draw down on such Letter of Credit and deliver all or such portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to Seller and (2) the right of Purchaser to receive the return of the Deposit shall be construed as meaning the right of Purchaser to receive the return of the Letter of Credit. At Closing, any portion of the Deposit paid in cash and delivered to Seller at the Closing shall be applicable to the Purchase Price.

Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid in full (on behalf of the applicable Target Company) an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness in accordance with the Debt Payoff Letters.

The Estimated Net Working Capital will be calculated in good faith and subject to the approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and calculated on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of, and set forth in, the method for the calculation of Net Working Capital on Exhibit B .
(ii)
If: (1) the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than ONE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1.00) (the " Target Net Working Capital "), the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted downward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such shortfall; or (2) the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than Target Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted upward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such excess. The amount of such increase or decrease based on the Estimated Net Working Capital is referred to herein as the " Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment ."
(iii)
No later than two (2) but no earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall calculate the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment as of the Closing Date and shall provide a schedule reflecting such calculation to Purchaser as an attachment to the Pre-Closing Statement to be delivered pursuant to Section  3.(b)(i) . The Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment will be calculated in good faith and subject to the approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and calculated on a basis consistent with Section 10.(j) .
(iv)
If: (1) the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment is less than zero ( i.e. , meaning that the credits to Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.(j) at the Closing exceed the credits to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 10.(j) ), the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted downward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such

7



shortfall; or (2) the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment is greater than zero ( i.e. , meaning that the credits to Seller pursuant to Section 10.(j) at the Closing exceed the credits to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 10.(j) ), the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted upward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such excess (the amount of such increase or decrease based on the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment is referred to herein as the " Closing Date Section 10.(j) Adjustment ").
3.(g)
Post-Closing Adjustments . In addition to the adjustments that may be required after Closing pursuant to Section 10.(j) , Purchaser and Seller shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 3.(g) to determine certain other adjustments that may be required after Closing:

The Final Closing Statement shall be determined in good faith and the Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of, and set forth in, the method for the calculation of Net Working Capital on Exhibit B .
(ii)
The Seller Representative shall, within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of the Final Closing Statement, agree or disagree therewith (the " Review Period "). During the Review Period, Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative with: (1) such information as may be reasonably requested by the Seller Representative with respect to its review of the Final Closing Statement; and (2) reasonable access to the accounting personnel who prepared the Final Closing Statement; provided , that such information and access shall be provided in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Target Companies.
(iii)
If the Seller Representative disagrees with the calculations thereon, it shall give written notice to Purchaser of such disagreement and any reason therefor within the Review Period. Should the Seller Representative fail to notify Purchaser of a disagreement prior to the end of the Review Period, the Seller Representative shall be deemed to agree with Purchaser's calculations set forth on the Final Closing Statement. If the Seller Representative timely objects to any item or calculation on the Final Closing Statement, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall, during the fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of the Seller Representative's objection, attempt in good faith to resolve the matters on the Final Closing Statement to which the Seller Representative objected. In the event the Seller Representative and Purchaser cannot resolve all of such matters by the end of such fifteen (15) day period, they shall immediately refer the remaining matters in dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm that is independent as to all parties and mutually agreed upon by the Seller Representative and Purchaser (the " Accounting Referee "). The Accounting Referee shall determine, based solely on written submissions by the Seller Representative and Purchaser and on the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and not by independent review, only those items and amounts in the Final Closing Statement still in dispute and set forth on the Seller Representative's

8



original written objection notice . In resolving any disputed items, the Accounting Referee may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by a party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by a party. The Accounting Referee shall issue its determination with respect to such disputed items within sixty (60) calendar days after such dispute is referred to the Accounting Referee. The Seller Representative on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, shall bear all of their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing process, except that the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee hereunder shall be split between the Seller Representative and Purchaser in such proportion as the Accounting Referee shall determine based on the relative merit of the position of the parties and absent any such determination the fees of the Accounting Referee shall be shared equally between the Seller Representative, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. This provision shall be specifically enforceable by the Seller Representative and Purchaser and the decision of the Accounting Referee in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be final and binding with respect to the matters so arbitrated and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom.
(iv)
If, based on the calculations as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.(g) ,
(1)
(A) the Final Closing Date Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, (B) the Final Seller Closing Costs are less than the Estimated Seller Closing Costs, or (C) the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller Representative an amount equal to such amounts on a dollar-for-dollar basis, or
(2)
(A) the Final Closing Date Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness; (B) the Final Seller Closing Costs are greater than the Estimated Seller Closing Costs; or (C) the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such amounts on a dollar-for-dollar basis, which obligation shall be a direct, joint and several obligation of Sellers, and shall not be subject to the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 17.(d) .
(v)
Final amounts due hereunder shall be paid no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Seller Representative's agreement with Purchaser's calculation of any adjustments set forth above, or in the event of a disagreement, following the resolution of such disagreement by written agreement of Purchaser and the Seller Representative, or the determination of the Accounting Referee. Such amounts shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account identified in writing by the recipient of such payment. Any adjustment made in connection with this Section 3.(g) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price of the applicable Acquired Interests for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

5.(c)
New Exceptions .
(i)
If an update to a Pro Forma Policy or an Updated Survey for the Property (or, if applicable, if an update to a Title Commitment for the Property) received after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing Date references a new exception to title or a new survey matter for the Property (each, a " New Exception ," and collectively, the " New Exceptions "), then Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (the " Objection Period ") to provide notice of its objection to Seller (the " Exception Notice ").

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER . Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller, which representations and warranties will be deemed made by Purchaser to Seller as of the Effective Date and remade by Purchaser as of the Closing Date, as follows:
16.(a)
Organization, Authority, and Enforceability .
(i)
Organization and Standing . Purchaser is a limited liability company and is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties directly or indirectly owned or leased by Purchaser or in which the conduct of Purchaser's business requires it to be so qualified, except where that failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on Purchaser or any subsidiary of Purchaser.
(ii)
Authority . Purchaser has the organizational power and authority to purchase the Acquired Interests and to carry out Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement. All requisite action necessary to authorize Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to carry out Purchaser's obligations hereunder has been, or on the Closing Date will have been, taken.
(iii)
Enforceability . This Agreement has been duly executed by Purchaser, is valid and legally binding upon Purchaser, and is enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as limited by General Enforceability Exceptions.
16.(b)
No Conflicts . The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any judgment, order, injunction, decree, regulation or ruling of any court or governmental authority or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Purchaser.

43



16.(c)
Consents . No consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required from any person (that has not already been obtained or shall be obtained by the Closing Date) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or the performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby.
16.(d)
Anti-Terrorism Matters .
(i)
Neither Purchaser nor any person in control of Purchaser (which for purposes hereof shall mean ownership of 20% or more of outstanding voting securities) (collectively, the " Purchaser Related Parties ") have engaged in any dealings or transactions, directly or indirectly in contravention of any U.S. international or other money laundering regulations or conventions, including, without limitation, the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. , as amended), or any foreign asset control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto.
(ii)
Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants with Seller that: (1) the Purchaser Related Parties currently are not, and shall not be at any time during the term hereof, in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Laws, including without limitation Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001, and regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control related to SDNs, and/or the USA Patriot Act; (2) the Purchaser Related Parties are not and shall not be during the term hereof a Prohibited Person; and (3) Purchaser has taken appropriate steps to understand its legal obligations under the Anti-Terrorism Laws and has implemented appropriate procedures to assure its continued compliance with such laws.
16.(e)
REIT Status . Assuming the Target REIT qualified as a Real Estate Investment Trust immediately prior to the Closing, then Purchaser's acquisition of the Common Shares in the Target REIT will not cause the Target REIT to fail to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust on the Closing Date.
16.(f)
Securities Laws .
(i)
Purchaser is an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all rules, rulings, and regulations thereunder (the " Securities Act "), and has executed and delivered such documents in evidence thereof as Seller has reasonably requested.
(ii)
Purchaser has been, or prior to Closing will be, furnished access to the business and financial records of the Target Companies and such additional information and documents as Purchaser has requested or may request, and has been, or prior to Closing will be, afforded an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of Seller concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Target Companies, operations, capitalization, financial condition,

44



and prospects of the Target Companies, and all other matters deemed relevant to Purchaser.
(iii)
Purchaser is acquiring the Acquired Interests solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that the Acquired Interests are not registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and that the Acquired Interests may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and subject to state securities laws and regulations, as applicable.

Any such Schedule Amendment shall be effectuated by written notice from Seller to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(ii)
If any facts, circumstances or changes that are the subject of a Schedule Amendment properly delivered in accordance with clause (i) above would have resulted in any of Seller's representations or warranties contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect if such Schedule Amendment were not so delivered or Purchaser otherwise became aware that any representation or warranty is untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to that effect (specifying the basis for such termination) prior to Closing, in which case: (1) the Title Company shall disburse the Deposit to Purchaser; and (2) Seller will reimburse Purchaser for its Pursuit Costs up to a maximum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00), if such representation or warranty was untrue when made (and Seller was aware it was untrue when made) or becomes untrue as a result of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Seller; provided that, if Purchaser does not exercise such right to terminate this Agreement, then: (A) Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such supplemented Schedules hereto; and (B) the delivery of any such supplement will be deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such changes in facts or conditions.

If any representation or warranty of the Seller made in this Agreement is Known by Purchaser prior to the Closing to be untrue in any material respect and is not remedied by the Seller prior to the Closing, and if Purchaser still elects to proceed with the Closing, then Purchaser shall not have any right to bring a Recovery Action with respect to such representation or warranty.
(iii)
Purchaser waives its right to bring a Recovery Action for any breach of the representations and warranties contained herein, unless the aggregate damages to Purchaser, if any, exceeds the liability threshold of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) (" Liability Threshold ").

(v)
The provisions of this Section 17.(c)  shall survive the Closing.

An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to any entity or person who is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (an " Indemnifying Party ") of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which such Indemnified Party shall seek indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 17.(d) unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided , however , that:
(1)
The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim ( provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys' fees of the Indemnified Party if: (A) the employment of separate counsel has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim; (B) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in such Third Party Claim; or (C) the Indemnified Party's counsel has advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);
(2)
The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third‑party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, any injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment would materially adversely affect its business;
(3)
No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third‑party action; and
(4)
The Indemnifying Party shall pay for, but shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of),

Any other indemnification claim under this Section 17 must be asserted not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the third anniversary of the Closing (or if the indemnification claim relates to a breach of a covenant that occurs more than thirty (30) months after the Closing (or Purchaser first has knowledge of such breach of covenant more than thirty (30) months after the Closing), then such indemnification claim must be asserted not later than six (6) months after such breach of covenant (or, if later, six (6) months after Purchaser first has knowledge of such breach of covenant)). No claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 17 may be made with respect to a default of either Seller or Purchaser under this Agreement prior to the Closing which the other party had Knowledge (as defined in Section 17.(a) with respect to each party) of prior to the Closing (with the understanding that remedies with respect to any such pre-Closing defaults are expressly covered by Section 12.(c) above).

6



(l) Evidence of the existance, organization and authority of Seller and of the authority of the persons executing documents on behalf of Seller, reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company.

5.3. Closing Statement . Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to each other a Closing Statement showing the amounts by which the Purchase Price shall have been adjusted, such adjustments to be made as of the Closing Date with Buyer for the purpose of such prorations to be deemed to be the owner of the Property for the entire Closing Date, as follows:

(a) Taxes and assessments, special and otherwise, which are due prior to Closing shall be paid (or caused to be paid) by Seller at or prior to Closing.

(b) All real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental agency, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer on a cash basis.  In no event shall Seller be charged with or responsible for any increase in real estate taxes resulting from the sale of the Property to Buyer or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing.  Any refunds of real estate taxes made after the Closing shall first be applied to the unreimbursed third-party costs incurred by Seller or Buyer in obtaining the refund, then paid to Tenant if entitled to the same and the balance, if any, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer in the same manner as real estate taxes and assessments are prorated at Closing. 

(c) Subject to Section 5.3(e), the parties shall prorate all rents and other items of income under the Lease (“Rents”) collected prior to the Closing and applicable, in whole or in part, to periods after the Closing.  The parties shall not prorate any Rents that are past due as of Closing (“Receivables”). Rents collected after Closing by Buyer shall be allocated, first, to Buyer to the extent of Rents applicable to the post-Closing period and then due and payable; next, to Seller to the extent of Receivables; and the remainder to Buyer.  Seller may take reasonable action to collect any Receivables provided that Seller may not commence any legal action against Tenant seeking termination of the Lease and Seller may not commence any other legal action against Tenant prior to the date which is 30 days after the applicable Closing. Upon receipt by Seller of Buyer’s reasonable written request at anytime and from time to time within a period from the Closing until the later of (i) one (1) year after Closing, or (ii) for the period Tenant has the right to audit such books and records of Seller, Seller shall, at Seller’s principal place of business, during Seller’s normal business hours, make all of Seller’s records directly relating to those items subject to Tenant audit, available to Buyer for inspection and copying (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense).

(d) The amount of any cash security or other deposits held by Seller in connection with the Property shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and Seller shall retain such deposits.  If security deposits are in the form of letters of credit, such shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer at Closing at Seller’s sole cost.

(e) If and to the extent Tenant pays monthly estimates of operating expenses and insurance (“Charges”) with an adjustment at the end of each fiscal year applicable to Charges, all amounts received by Seller before the Closing Date as interim payments of Charges for the year of Closing, shall be retained by Seller to the extent applied against any disbursements made by Seller in the nature of Charges incurred prior to Closing and recoupable under the Lease.  In the event the amounts received by Seller as interim payment of Charges before the Closing Date shall be greater than the actual Charges incurred prior to Closing or relate to Charges on or subsequent to Closing, Seller shall remit such amounts to Buyer.  In the event that amounts received by Seller as interim payments of Charges before the Closing Date shall be less than the actual Charges incurred prior to Closing and recoupable under the Lease, and provided Seller has paid the actual Charges (an “Underpayment”), then Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such Underpayment promptly following collection thereof from Tenant. No later than five (5) days prior to Closing, Seller shall prepare and submit to Buyer an accounting of the Charges vs. the interim payments received as evidenced

7



by reasonable supporting documentation provided to Buyer.  All amounts received by Buyer as interim payments of Charges first arising on or after Closing shall be retained by Buyer.

(f) Seller shall pay all state and county real estate transfer taxes and documentary stamps, the deed recording fee and one-half of the Title Company escrow and closing fees.

(g) Buyer shall pay the cost of the title insurance policy, GAP endorsement, any other title endorsements requested by Buyer and one-half of the Title Company escrow and closing fees and all costs for Buyer’s financing.

(h) If any municipal real estate transfer taxes are assessed, such municipal transfer taxes shall be paid by the party who customarily pays same in the municipality in which the Property is located.

(i) Seller shall be responsible for payment of any outstanding “Tenant Improvements Contribution” as defined in Exhibit E of the Lease, and for the payment of any outstanding leasing commissions related to the initial term of the Lease (“Lease Commission”). Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the then-unpaid Tenant Improvements Contribution and Lease Commission (if any), based on evidence reasoanbly acceptable to Buyer, which are the responsibility of Seller under the foregoing provision, and Seller shall retain responsibility for same to the extent not so credited at Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer is aware that pursuant to the Lease, Tenant has a “Base Rent-free” period, and shall not commence the payment of Base Rent to the Landlord until July 1, 2019. Buyer shall be given a credit at Closing equal to the July 1, 2019 value of the initial monthly Base Rent ($93,287.20) times the number of months from the Closing Date to the July 1, 2019 Base Rent commencement date, prorated for any partial month.

(j) Seller has informed Buyer that (i) the County of Kane (the “County”) assessed the impact fee for the Property (the “Impact Fee”) as “industrial” pursuant to Kane County Ordinance # 12-100 approved by the Kane County Board on April 10, 2012, as amended (the “Ordinance”), resulting in an Impact Fee in the amount of $408,825.68 (the “Industrial Impact Fee”); (ii) Seller represented to the County that the intended use of the Property was “warehouse” under the Ordinance (and the present use of the Property is warehouse), which would result in an Impact Fee in the amount of $134,870.90 (the “Warehouse Impact Fee”); (iii) pursuant to that certain Contingent Impact Fee Payment Agreement dated May 10, 2016 between the County of Kane and Seller (the “Impact Fee Agreement”), the County agreed that Seller would pay the Warehouse Impact Fee provided that Seller agreed to pay the difference between the Warehouse Impact Fee and the Industrial Impact Fee (such difference being $273,954.78 and being referred to herein as the “Impact Fee Difference”) in the event the Property was used for any use other than warehouse during the term of the Impact Fee Agreement and to provide assurance of payment of the Impact Fee Difference pursuant to a promissory note; (iv) pursuant to the Impact Fee Agreement, (a) Seller applied for an initial building permit with the City of Elgin for the entire Property as a warehouse, (b) paid to the County the Warehouse Impact Fee and (c) delivered to the County that certain Promissory Note dated May 9, 2016 in the amount of $273,954.78 to secure Seller’s obligation to pay the Impact Fee Difference pursuant to the Impact Fee Agreement (the “Seller Note”). Provided that the Impact Fee Documentation (hereinafter defined) is not obtained prior to Closing, then (A) at Closing Buyer shall assume the obligations of Seller under the Impact Fee Agreement arising from and after Closing and, no later than twenty (20) days following Closing, deliver to the County a promissory note in the amount of $273,954.78 in form and substance substantially similar to the Seller Note (the “Buyer Note”) in replacement of the Seller Note and (B) Seller shall deposit the amount of $273,954.78 (the “Holdback Funds”) with the Title Company pursuant to the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Escrow Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Seller shall remain solely responsible for the payment of the Impact Fee Difference and hereby indemnifies Buyer from and against any losses suffered by Buyer in connection with or arising out of Seller’s obligation to pay

8



the Impact Fee Difference. For purposes of this paragraph, “Impact Fee Documentation” shall mean such documentation from the County as is reasonably acceptable to and required by Buyer confirming that the Impact Fee Agreement is terminated and null and void, the Impact Fee applicable to the Property has been established by the County and paid in full by the Seller and that neither the Property nor Buyer shall have any obligation to pay the Industrial Impact Fee or the Impact Fee Difference and Buyer shall have no obligation to make or deliver the Buyer Note.

(k) The readings and billings for any utilities held in Seller’s name will be made if possible as of the day before the Closing Date, in which case Seller shall pay all such bills and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills. Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the parties’ reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within thirty (30) days after the Closing, if necessary. There shall be no proration or credit for utilities held in the name of Tenant. Seller has no deposit in Seller’s name held by any utility provider. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer in transferring such utility services and company accounts that are held in Seller’s name (if any), with respect to the Property and shall refrain from any action likely to result in a termination or interruption of utility service upon the Closing and transfer of ownership to Buyer.

6.
NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES

The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Buyer be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any liabilities of Seller to any third parties, with the exception of those liabilities arising from Buyer’s assumption of the Lease.

7.
DEFAULT

7.1.(a) If Buyer defaults in the performance of any of its obligations and/or covenants hereunder in excess of ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Buyer (provided that no cure period shall be applicable with respect to the obligation to consummate Closing on the Closing Date), provided that Seller is not then in default hereunder, Seller's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, in which event, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
  
(b) If Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1 due to Buyer’s failure to consummate the Closing in breach hereof, Buyer and Seller agree that Seller’s actual damages would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix. The parties therefore agree that, in such event, Seller, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, is entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of the Deposit, in which case:
(i) this Agreement and the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller hereunder shall be of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than pursuant to any provision hereof which expressly survives the termination of this Agreement,
 
(ii) the Title Company shall deliver the Deposit (exclusive of interest and dividends earned thereon) to Seller pursuant to Seller’s instructions, and the same shall be the full, agreed and liquidated damages,
 
(iii) all title and escrow cancellation charges, if any, shall be charged to Buyer, and

(iv) the Title Company shall deliver to Buyer all interest and dividends earned on the Deposit. The parties hereby agree that the amount of the Deposit is a fair and reasonable estimate of the total detriment that Seller would suffer in the event of Buyer’s failure to consummate the Closing in breach

9



hereof. Seller irrevocably waives the right to seek or obtain any other legal or equitable remedies, including the remedies of damages and specific performance for Buyer’s failure to consummate the Closing in breach hereof.

(c) However, Seller may not enforce such remedy against Buyer:

(i) if Seller is in default under this Agreement, or

(ii) Buyer has cured such default within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Seller specifying that Buyer is in default (except for a default in the obligation to consummate Closing, for which Buyer shall have no cure period).

(d) Nothing in this Section 7.1 shall be deemed in any way to limit the rights and remedies of Seller with respect to any terms, conditions or covenants that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Buyer defaults in any of its post-closing obligations or any obligations that survive Closing or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all of its remedies at law and in equity on account of such default. The provisions of Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

7.2.(a) If Seller defaults in the performance of any of its obligations and/or covenants hereunder in excess of ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Seller (provided that no cure period shall be applicable with respect to the obligation to consummate Closing on the Closing Date), provided that Buyer is not then in default hereunder, Buyer's remedy shall be either:

(i) the termination of this Agreement upon written notice thereof to Seller, in which case Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements) related to the negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and Buyer’s due diligence, up to a maximum of $75,000.00, the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Buyer, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation hereunder, or

(ii) Buyer may seek the specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement from a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) However, Buyer may not enforce such remedy against Seller:

(i) if Buyer is in default under this Agreement, or

(ii) Seller has cured such default within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Buyer specifying that Seller is in default (except for a default in the obligation to consummate Closing, for which Seller shall have no cure period).

(c) Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to in any way to limit or prevent Buyer from exercising any right of termination provided to Buyer elsewhere in this Agreement or limit the rights and remedies of Buyer with respect to any terms, conditions or covenants that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller defaults in any of its post-closing obligations or any obligations that survive Closing or a termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall have all of its remedies at law and in equity on account of such default. The provisions of Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY

Seller shall maintain the Property until Closing in materially the same condition as the Effective Date, except for ordinary wear and tear. If, prior to Closing, the Property shall be damaged by a Material Event (hereinafter defined), Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and this Agreement may be terminated at the option of Buyer (whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Buyer, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation hereunder), provided Buyer gives written notice of Buyer’s termination of this Agreement within ten (10) days of receipt of Seller’s damage notice, failing which, Buyer shall be obligated to close in accordance with this Agreement. In the event such damage does not constitute a Material Event or Buyer fails to timely terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall be obligated to close on the Property and, at Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to any uninsured or deductible amount and assign the insurance proceeds to Buyer. “Material Event” shall mean (a) $500,000.00 or more of damage is caused to the Property as a result of any earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, landslide, fire, act of war, terrorism, terrorist activity or other casualty, (b) material access to the Property, or a material portion of the parking, is destroyed as a result of a casualty, (c) any material portion of the Property is rendered untenantable as a result of a casualty, (d) a casualty occurs that is reasonably estimated to result in an uninsured loss of rental income after Closing in excess of $100,000.00 or (e) Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease as a result of a casualty and Tenant fails to waive such right.

9.
CONDEMNATION

If notice of any action, suit or proceeding shall be given prior to Closing for the purpose of condemning any part of the Property, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice of such condemnation upon notice to Seller, in which event:

(a) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect;

(b) the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer; and

(c) neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder; but if Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then in the event of Closing, the proceeds of such condemnation shall be assigned and shall belong to Buyer.

Based on such representations and warranties and agreements, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from any other claims, damages, expenses, liabilities, liens or judgments (including costs, expenses and attorneys fees in defending the same) which arise as a result of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by Seller or Buyer under this Section.
