We also anticipate paying an acquisition fee of 2.25% of the purchase price of each property to our advisor and its affiliates in connection with the acquisition of such properties. The closings are expected to occur during the second quarter of 2014; however, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to purchase any of the properties in the anticipated timeframe, or at all since the potential acquisitions of these properties are subject to substantial conditions to closing.
The material terms of the DeKalb Purchase Agreement, Country Club MOB Purchase Agreement, Acworth Purchase Agreement and each of the three assignment and assumption of real estate purchase agreement and escrow instructions entered into for the properties are qualified in their entirety by the agreements attached as Exhibits 10.1 to 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
