On February 20, 2015, NorthStar Real Estate Income II, Inc. (“NorthStar Income II”) entered into a selected dealer agreement (the "Selected Dealer Agreement") with Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. ("Ameriprise"), NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc.

The Offering consists of $1,500,000,000 in shares, which are being offered in the primary offering (the “Primary Offering”), and $150,000,000 in shares, which are being offered pursuant to NorthStar Income II’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Selected Dealer Agreement, Ameriprise generally will be: (i) paid a selling commission of up to 7.0% of the price of each Share (excluding Shares sold pursuant to the DRP) sold by Ameriprise; provided, however, that such selling commission shall be reduced with respect to sales to certain categories of purchasers, as described in the Selected Dealer Agreement and the prospectus for the Offering; (ii) reallowed by the Dealer Manager from the dealer manager fee a marketing support fee of up to 1.5% of the full price of each Share (excluding Shares sold pursuant to the DRP) sold by Ameriprise; (iii) reimbursed for its out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred and directly related to the Primary Offering consistent with the language in the prospectus for the Offering and the regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”); and (iv) subject to applicable FINRA limitations, paid for mutually agreed upon technology costs associated with the Primary Offering, related costs and expenses and other costs and expenses related to the facilitation of the marketing of the Shares and the ownership of Shares by Ameriprise’s customers, including fees to attend conferences.
In connection with the Selected Dealer Agreement, NorthStar Income II will adopt and disclose a valuation policy no later than April 15, 2015, and disclose an estimated net asset value per share based upon a valuation conducted by an independent valuation firm no later than November 13, 2015.
Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Selected Dealer Agreement, NorthStar Income II, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and the Sponsor, jointly and severally, agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Ameriprise and each person, if any, who controls Ameriprise within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, against losses, liability, claims, damages and expenses caused by certain untrue or alleged untrue statements, or omissions or alleged omissions of material fact made in connection with the Offering or in certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and certain other public statements, or the breach by NorthStar Income II, the Dealer Manager, the Advisor or the Sponsor or any employee or agent acting on their behalf, of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of the Selected Dealer Agreement. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the Sponsor and the Advisor for any amounts they are required to pay with respect to certain indemnification obligations to Ameriprise that they may incur concerning these matters.
