Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 4, 2021, MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc.’s (the “Company”) operating partnership, MacKenzie Realty Operating Partnership, LP (the “OP”) acquired a 90.0% limited liability company interest in Hollywood Hillview Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hollywood”).  Hollywood owns 100% of the membership interests in PT Hillview GP, LLC (the “Property Owner”), which is a special purpose limited liability company formed to acquire, renovate, and own the 54-unit multifamily building located at 6533 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Blvd., CA (the “Property”).  Property Owner also had previously entered into a loan agreement with Ladder Capital Finance, LLC in the amount of $17,500,000.

The OP agreed to invest approximately $7.6 million to acquire the interest in Hollywood.  The OP has entered into a joint venture operating agreement for Hollywood (the “Hollywood Agreement”).  The Hollywood Agreement contains terms, conditions, and indemnities that are customary and standard for joint ventures in the real estate industry.  Hollywood also entered into an operating agreement with Property Owner with customary provisions related to the operation of the Property (the “SPE Agreement”).

Under the Hollywood Agreement, the manager, True USA, LLC, has sole authority to make all decisions on behalf of Hollywood, except for certain major decisions that are reserved to the approval of the Class B Member, which is the OP, including but not limited to (i) the cause Property Owner to sell the Property, (ii) the incurrence of debt in excess of $1,000,000, (iii) the creation of any new entity, (iv) the filing or initiating a bankruptcy or similar creditor protection action, (v) making any assignment for the benefit Hollywood’s creditors, (vi) admitting in writing that Hollywood cannot pay its debts as they become due, (vii) the guaranty by Hollywood of any indebtedness of another, (viii) the compromise of the obligation of a member to make a capital contribution, (ix) the amendment of the Hollywood Agreement, and (x) removing True USA as manager.

The OP, in addition other distribution rights, has the right to a preferred return of $1.5 million of capital before True USA receives any return of capital.  The Company (along with three other principals of True USA) guaranteed: (1) the “Recourse Obligations” under the loan, which are triggered only if the borrower of the loan engages in “Bad Boy Acts” (such as fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, waste, conversion, intentional failure to pay taxes or maintain insurance, filing for bankruptcy, ADA noncompliance, and environmental contamination, etc.), (2) a “Debt Service and Carry Guaranty” under the loan, which guarantees the payment of interest on the loan and other “Basic Carrying Costs”, and (3) a “Guaranty of Completion” guaranteeing that the redevelopment work contracted to be performed will be completed as agreed.  The Company was comfortable issuing such guarantees because the loan provides for a substantial “Carrying Costs” reserve and for the full funding of the construction contract, which is subject to a guaranteed maximum price.

The foregoing descriptions of the Hollywood Agreement and SPE Agreement are only a summary, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreements, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The full text of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information in this Current Report is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information contained herein that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
 
Item 8.01 Other Events.

Third Calendar Quarter 2021 Dividend

Mackenzie Realty Capital, Inc. is pleased to announce an increase in our regular quarterly dividend, now at the rate of $0.07 per share.  The Board hopes to continue to raise this rate in future quarters.  The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record September 30, 2021, and it will be paid on or about October 30, 2021.  As with the previous quarter, we have mainly been focused on consolidating our previously existing investments under our control.  On September 10, the sale of the Bishop Berkeley apartment complex closed for $10.25 million.

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to items such as the timing of payment of dividends are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions that may prove incorrect or inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Share Repurchase Plan

On September 13, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s Share Repurchase Plan (the “SRP”). The SRP (1) currently limits repurchase requests to death and qualifying disability only; (2) sets a limit on the amount of repurchases by the Company in any calendar year of 5.0% of the weighted average number of Shares outstanding in the prior calendar year (3) sets a limit on the number of Shares repurchased during any calendar year to the proceeds available from sales of Common Stock under our DRIP; and (4) set the repurchase price to an amount equal to the most recent publicly disclosed estimated value per share as determined by the Board (the “NAV”).

Further, the SRP provides that in the event the Company is unable to process all repurchases requests in any quarter, pending requests will be honored among all requests for repurchases in any given repurchase period as follows: (i) first, pro rata as to repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death or disability; and (ii) next, if open to ordinary repurchases, pro rata, rounded to the nearest whole share, based upon the total number of shares for which repurchase was requested, and the total funds available for repurchases. Requests not fulfilled in one quarter will automatically be carried forward to the next quarter, unless such request is revoked, and will receive priority over requests made in the carryover quarter. Requests can be revoked by sending a letter requesting revocation to our Investor Relations department. There can be no assurances that we will have sufficient funds to repurchase any shares.

The foregoing description of the SRP does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified by its entirety by, the SRP that is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

This Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to purchase or sell Mackenzie securities, and no securities can be subscribed from the Offering Circular until it is qualified, nor should the Offering Circular be relied upon for any investment decision prior to qualification. No money or consideration is being solicited by the information in this letter or any other communication and, if sent, money will not be accepted and will be promptly returned. No offer by a potential investor to buy our securities can be accepted and, if made, any such offer can be withdrawn before qualification of this offering by the SEC. A potential investor’s indication of interest does not create a commitment to purchase the securities we are offering. Any such indication of interest may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of its acceptance is given and all other requirements to accept an investment from a potential investor are met after the offering qualification date.  A copy of the preliminary Offering Circular that forms a part of the Offering Statement may be obtained on the SEC’s website: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1550913/000155091321000044/mrc091221form1aa.htm.

EX-99.1 2 mrclettertostockholder.htm LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
Exhibit 99.1
October 29, 2021


Dear Stockholder:

MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. is pleased to announce that after resuming our regular quarterly dividend earlier this year, we are increasing the dividend again, to a rate of $0.07 per share.  The dividend will be more than supported by cash flow from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.  The dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2021.

We anticipate continued recovery in the performance of our portfolio and believe that we may be able to continue to increase our dividend rate in the future.

We are also aware that many shareholders are concerned about liquidity options in general, and our repurchase plans specifically.  The first step toward re-starting our repurchase plan was to re-start the dividend.  Because the Dividend Reinvestment Program funds the Share Repurchase Plan, we needed to have a dividend before we can have repurchases.  After two quarters of dividends already paid and a third declared, we are now ready to reopen the Share Repurchase Plan for repurchases in the case of the death or long-term disability of the stockholder.  As soon as we have sufficient funds in the DRIP to fund more repurchases, we can open the Share Repurchase Plan to all stockholders.  We anticipate publishing a new annual estimate of NAV in January, and will revisit this issue at that time.

We have completed a transformational year, and we are pleased with our progress growing the Company into a successful real estate operating venture.  We believe the Company’s future is bright.  We are excited to continue this journey, and we are thankful for our shareholders’ continued support.

Enclosed is your Investor Statement with this quarter’s payment details.  If you invested through a trustee or custodian or requested a third-party deposit, or if you participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, your dividend has been transmitted as directed.  If you receive a cash dividend, your check will arrive separately.  The Board of MRC anticipates making future dividends, if any, within 30 days after the close of the previous fiscal quarter

We appreciate your investment in MRC.  We are excited about the interest we have received in MRC from investors and the investment opportunities we have encountered.  We believe your confidence in us will be rewarded.

Sincerely,
MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc.

Robert E. Dixon, President

EX-99.2 3 mrcsharerepurchaseplan.htm SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN
Exhibit 99.2

Share Repurchase Plan
 
The share repurchase plan is designed to provide eligible stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to us. The terms under which we may repurchase shares may differ between repurchases upon the death or “qualifying disability” of a stockholder (referred to herein as “exceptional repurchases”) and all other repurchases (referred to herein as “ordinary repurchases”).
 
Repurchase Price.  Subject to certain restrictions discussed below, we may make ordinary repurchases, from time to time, at the following prices:
 
                                          95% of NAV until February 2022;
 
                                          97.5% of NAV until February 2023; and
 
                                          100% of NAV thereafter.
 
In the case of exceptional repurchases, we may repurchase shares at a repurchase price equal to 100% of NAV.

Ordinary Repurchases.  In the case of ordinary repurchases, we may repurchase shares beneficially owned by a stockholder continuously for at least one year and who acquired the Shares directly from us or the transferees mentioned below, and is not intended to provide liquidity to any shareholder who acquired his or her Shares by purchase from another shareholder. In connection with a request for repurchase, the shareholder or his or her estate, heir or beneficiary will be required to certify to us that the shareholder either (1) acquired the Shares requested to be repurchased directly from us or (2) acquired the Shares from the original subscriber by way of a bona fide gift not for value to, or for the benefit of, a member of the subscriber’s immediate or extended family (including the subscriber’s spouse, parents, siblings, children or grandchildren and including relatives by marriage) or through a transfer to a custodian, trustee or other fiduciary for the account of the subscriber or members of the subscriber’s immediate or extended family in connection with an estate planning transaction, including by bequest or inheritance upon death or operation of law.

We may make ordinary repurchases only if we have sufficient funds available to complete the repurchase.  In any given calendar quarter, we are authorized to use only the proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan during that quarter to make ordinary repurchases; provided that, if we have excess funds during any particular quarter, we may, but are not obligated to, carry those excess funds to the subsequent calendar quarter for the purpose of making ordinary repurchases.  Subject to funds being available, in the case of ordinary repurchases, we will limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year.  In the event that we determine not to repurchase all of the shares presented during any quarter, including as a result of having insufficient funds or satisfying the 5% limit, to the extent we decide to repurchase shares, shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis up to the limits described above.  Any stockholder whose ordinary repurchase request has been partially accepted in a particular calendar quarter will have the remainder of his or her request included with all new repurchase requests we have received in the immediately following calendar quarter, unless he or she chooses to withdraw that request. There is no fee in connection with a repurchase of shares of our common stock.
 
Exceptional Repurchases.  We are authorized to use any funds to make exceptional repurchases.  In addition, the 5% limit described may be waived by the Board.  With respect to any exceptional repurchases, we must receive the repurchase request within one year after the death or qualifying disability of the stockholder.  If persons are joint registered holders of shares, the request to repurchase the shares may be made if either of the registered holders dies or becomes disabled.  If the stockholder is not a natural person, such as a partnership, corporation or other similar entity, the right to an exceptional repurchase does not apply.
 
In the case of exceptional repurchases upon the death of a stockholder, we may repurchase shares upon the death of a stockholder who is a natural person, including shares held by the stockholder through a trust, or an IRA or other retirement or profit-sharing plan, after receiving a written request from: (1) the estate of the beneficial owner; (2) the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, even where the recipient subsequently registered the shares in his or her own name; or (3) in the case of the death of a beneficial owner who purchased shares and held those shares through a trust, the beneficiary of the trust, even where the beneficiary subsequently registered the shares in his or her own name, or, with respect to a revocable grantor trust, the trustee of that trust.
 
In order for a disability to entitle a stockholder to qualify for an exceptional repurchase upon a disability (i.e. to be a “qualifying disability”); (1) the stockholder would have to receive a determination of disability arising after the date the stockholder acquired the shares to be repurchased; and (2) the determination of disability would have to be made by the governmental agency responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the stockholder could be eligible to receive, which we refer to as the applicable governmental agencies. The applicable governmental agencies would be limited to the following: (a) if the stockholder paid Social Security taxes and, therefore, could be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency would be the Social Security Administration or the agency charged with responsibility for administering Social Security disability benefits at that time if other than the Social Security Administration; (b) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security taxes and, therefore, could not be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, but the stockholder could be eligible to receive disability benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System, or “CSRS,” then the applicable governmental agency would be the U.S. Office of Personnel Management or the agency charged with responsibility for administering CSRS benefits at that time if other than the Office of Personnel Management; or (c) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security taxes and therefore could not be eligible to receive Social Security benefits but suffered a disability that resulted in the stockholder’s discharge from military service under conditions that were other than dishonorable and, therefore, could be eligible to receive military disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency would be the Department of Veterans Affairs or the agency charged with the responsibility for administering military disability benefits at that time if other than the Department of Veterans Affairs.
 
Disability determinations by governmental agencies for purposes other than those listed above, including but not limited to worker’s compensation insurance, administration or enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act or Americans with Disabilities Act, or waiver of insurance premiums would not entitle a stockholder to qualify for an exceptional repurchase. Repurchase requests following an award by the applicable governmental agency of disability benefits would have to be accompanied by: (1) the investor’s initial application for disability benefits; and (2) a Social Security Administration Notice of Award, a U.S. Office of Personnel Management determination of disability under CSRS, a Department of Veterans Affairs record of disability-related discharge or such other documentation issued by the applicable governmental agency that we would deem acceptable and would demonstrate an award of the disability benefits.
 
We understand that the following disabilities do not entitle a worker to Social Security disability benefits:
 
                                          disabilities occurring after the legal retirement age; and
 
                                          disabilities that do not render a worker incapable of performing substantial gainful activity.
 
Therefore, such disabilities would not entitle a stockholder to qualify for an exceptional repurchase, except in the limited circumstances when the stockholder would be awarded disability benefits by the other applicable governmental agencies described above.
 
General.  To request repurchase, the stockholder must submit a repurchase request, the form of which is available on our website, www.mackenzierealty.com.  Repurchases of shares of our common stock will be made quarterly upon written request to us at least 15 days prior to the end of the applicable quarter. Repurchase requests will be honored approximately 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter, which end of the applicable quarter we refer to as the “repurchase date.” Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to three business days prior to the repurchase date. We cannot guarantee that the funds set aside for the share repurchase plan will be sufficient to accommodate all repurchase requests made in any quarter.  The request must state the name of the person/entity who owns the shares and the number of shares to be repurchased, and must be properly executed.  In the case of a request for an exceptional repurchase upon the death of a stockholder, the request also must include evidence of the death of the stockholder (which includes the date of death).  In the case of a request for an exceptional repurchase upon a disability, the request also must include both the stockholder’s initial application for disability benefits and documentation issued by the governmental agency demonstrating an award of the disability benefits.  The stockholder must notify us in writing if the stockholder wishes to withdraw a pending request to have shares repurchased. We will not repurchase that stockholder’s shares so long as we receive the written request to withdraw at least three days prior to the repurchase date.  We will effect all repurchases on the last business day of the calendar quarter or any other business day that may be established by the board. Following the repurchase, we will send the requesting party the cash proceeds of the repurchase.

All shares requested to be repurchased must be beneficially owned by the stockholder of record making the request, or the party presenting the shares must be authorized to do so by the owner of record of the shares or as otherwise described herein, and must be fully transferable and not subject to any liens or encumbrances. In certain cases, we may ask the requesting party to provide evidence satisfactory to us that the shares requested for repurchase are not subject to any liens or encumbrances. If we determine that a lien exists against the shares, we will not be obligated to repurchase any shares subject to the lien.
 
The share repurchase plan will immediately terminate if our shares are listed on any national securities exchange.  In addition, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our share repurchase plan upon 30 days’ notice.  In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase plan, however, we will disclose the change in a report filed with the SEC on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate.  Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to reject any requests for repurchases.
 
Shares we purchase under the share repurchase plan will be canceled, and will have the status of authorized but unissued shares. The repurchased shares will not be reissued unless they are first registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or otherwise issued in compliance with exemptions from the registration provisions contained in these laws.
 
We may appoint a repurchase agent to effect all repurchases of shares and to disburse funds to the stockholders in accordance with the share repurchase plan. The repurchase agent will perform all recordkeeping and administrative functions involved in the plan, and we will bear all costs involved in organizing, administering and maintaining the plan.  No fees will be paid to the Adviser, our directors or any of their affiliates in connection with the repurchase of shares by us pursuant to the share repurchase plan.

An example of a calculation of the distributions above is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.

4.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses. All items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (“profits and losses”) shall be the same as the amounts which are reportable by the Company for federal income tax purposes, as generally determined in accordance with I.R.C. Sec. 703 et seq.  Profits and losses from Operations shall be determined and allocated at the end of each Company year with respect to that year. Profits and losses from a Major Capital Event and a Liquidating Event shall be determined and allocated as of the date of such Event, without regard to allocations of profit or loss occurring after, or distributions of cash occurring after or with respect to, such event. The Company does not intend to make any special allocations of income, gain or losses and intends to allocate reportable income, and gains consistent with the actual cash distributions to the Partners. Such shall be allocated among the Members according to their Percentage Interests.
4.2.1 Allocation of Losses:
4.2.1.1
Elimination of Undistributed Profits.  First, any net loss of the Company shall be allocated among the Members until the Capital Account of each Member is reduced to an amount equal to that Member's aggregate Capital Contributions to the Company.
4.2.1.2
Elimination of Contributed Capital Balance.  Second, any remaining net loss of the Company shall thereafter be allocated among the Members until the Capital Account of each Member is reduced to zero.
4.2.1.3
Allocation of Loss Attributable to Non-Member Debt.  Third, any remaining net loss of the Company shall thereafter be allocated to the Members until the deficit in each Member's Capital Account equals his allocable share of Company debt (not including debt to Members, debts guaranteed by Members, debt secured by a Member's property, or other debts for which a Member has economic risk). It is understood that recourse debt, if any, owed to persons who are not Members will be allocated entirely to the Manager.
4.2.1.4
Allocation of Loss Attributable to Member Debt.  Fourth, any remaining net loss of the Company shall thereafter be allocated to the Members until the deficit in each Member's Capital Account equals, in addition to amounts allocated pursuant to the previous sentence, (a) the amount of the Company's outstanding debts (outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest) to that Member, and (b) that Member's share of any Company debt that the Member has guaranteed or pledged collateral for, or with respect to which the Member has otherwise assumed the risk of nonpayment.
4.2.1.5
Remaining Net Loss.  Fifth, any remaining net loss of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their ownership percentage.
4.2.1.6
Liquidating Event Loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, losses arising from a Liquidating Event shall be allocated first to those Members with positive Capital Accounts in a manner so as to reduce all positive Capital Accounts to zero, or to equal amounts and as close to zero as the extent of the allocable losses allow. No loss amount shall be allocated to a Member with a negative Capital Account balance so long as any Member has a positive Capital Account balance. No additional losses shall be allocated to a Member's Capital Account to cause the Member's Capital Account to be reduced below zero. Any losses which are not allocated to the Member's Capital Accounts, or to any of them, shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ ownership percentages.
4.2.2 Allocation of Distributable Cash from Operations:
4.2.2.1
Elimination of Accumulated Net Loss.  First, any net income from Operations shall be allocated among the Members in the inverse of the order and in the amounts in which net losses of the Company have previously been allocated, until the Capital Account of each Member equals the amount of the Member's capital contribution to the Company.
4.2.2.2
Preferred Return. Second, any remaining net income from Company Operations shall be allocated 100% to the Members until they have been allocated amounts equal to the full amount of the Preferred Return which has been distributed to them.
4.2.2.3
Remaining Net Income. Third, any remaining net income from Operations shall be allocated to the Class A and B Members, consistent with the distributions made.
4.2.3 Net Income and Gain from Liquidating or Capital Events:
4.2.3.1
Elimination of Accumulated Net Loss.  First, any net income or gain from a Liquidating Event or a Capital Event shall be allocated among the Members in the inverse of the order and in the amounts in which net losses of the Company have previously been allocated, until the Capital Account of each Member equals the amount of the Member's Capital Contribution to the Company less the amount of distributions previously made to each Member which reduced that Member's capital account balance.
4.2.3.2
Make up Return.  Second, net income or gain from a Liquidating Event or a Capital Event shall be allocated to the Members in an amount sufficient to ensure that if the Company were to then distribute all of its assets to the Members, the Members would receive total capital distributions, including prior Capital Distributions made, equal to the aggregate of their Capital Contributions.
4.2.3.3
Preferred Return. Third, net income or gain from a Liquidating Event or a Capital Event shall be allocated to the Members in an amount equal to the Preferred Return and Accrued Preferred Return paid to them out of the Liquidating Event or a Capital Event proceeds.
4.2.3.4
Remaining Net Income and Gain. Fourth, any remaining net income or gains from a Liquidating Event or a Capital Event shall be allocated to the Members based upon their Percentage Interests. The intent is that to the extent that a share of profits is received by the Class A Member, a pro-rata share of profits or gain, as the case may be, in that year, shall be allocated to the Class A Member. The amount allocated to the Class A Member in excess of the amount it would receive based on its percentage of Capital Contributions is intended to be treated as a carried interest to the Class A Member. When there is a distribution in liquidation of the Company, or when any Member’s interest is liquidated, all items of income and loss first shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts under this Article IV, and other credits and deductions to the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be made before the final distribution is made.
4.2.4 Allocations Among Members:
4.2.4.1
Amounts allocated to the Members collectively shall be allocated pro rata among the Members per their Percentage Interests. No Member shall be allocated an amount of losses that would reduce his Capital Account below zero or which would require him to contribute additional funds to the Company if it were dissolved. To the extent consistent with Federal tax law, it is intended that allocations of profits shall be made to the Members to the extent of and in accordance with first, prior allocations of loss and second, actual distributions of cash made to them.
4.2.4.2
All allocations of profits and losses from Operations shall be made to the persons who were Members during the fiscal period for which such allocation is made based upon the number of days in such period during which the person was a Member.
4.2.4.3
All allocations of profits and losses from a Major Capital Event or Liquidating Event shall be made to the persons who are Members as of the date of such event.
4.2.4.4
If profits from a Major Capital Event or Liquidating Event allocated to the Members are less than the deficit amounts of the Capital Accounts of all Members whose Capital Accounts are negative, if any, such profits shall be allocated among such Members in the ratio which the deficit amount of each such Member's Capital Account bears to the deficit amounts of the Capital Accounts of all such Members whose Capital Accounts have a deficit balance.
4.2.4.5
If the character of any profit or loss is in part capital and in part ordinary in the hands of the Company or is in part governed by Internal Revenue Code Section 1231 and in part not governed thereby, then all allocations of any such profit or loss shall be made among the Members in a manner such that each Member to whom such profit or loss is allocated, is allocated the same proportion of each such separate class of profit or loss as such Member is allocated to the total amount of such profit or loss.
4.2.4.6
Any recognition of taxable income or loss arising from the recharacterization of the status or treatment of any item, or any recapture of any tax credit on audit or by an amended tax return, shall be allocated in the same manner and ratio as said item or credit was previously allocated to the Members, or as close thereto as the Manager may determine, in its sole discretion on competent advice.
4.2.4.7
For the purposes of the allocations made upon a liquidation or capital event, the balance in a Member's Capital Account shall be determined as if the Company's year had closed immediately prior to the date as of which such allocations are made.
4.2.4.8
To the extent that taxable profits equal cash distributions, profit allocations will correspond with the actual cash distributions made.
4.2.5 Allocations for Capital Account Purposes:
4.2.5.1
Capital accounts shall be maintained for each Member. For Federal Income Tax purposes and for the purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Members among themselves, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with the above) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, except as otherwise provided in this document or by the Manager to make the allocation equitable.
4.2.5.2
If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (6), inclusive, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate a deficit in its Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Section 4.2.5.2 is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(d)(3).
4.2.5.3
If, and to the extent that, any Member is deemed to recognize income as a result of any transaction between such Member and the Company pursuant to Sections 1272-1274, Section 7872, Section 483 or Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code (hereafter referred to as "the Code"), or any similar provision now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding resulting loss or deduction of the Company shall be allocated to the Member who was charged with such income.
4.2.5.4
If any Member's Capital Account has a deficit balance resulting in whole or in part from allocations of loss or deduction attributable to nonrecourse debt which is secured by Company property, which deficit balance exceeds such Member's share of minimum gain (as defined below), then income and gain shall first be allocated to such Member in an amount equal to such excess. For purposes of this 4.2.5.4, "minimum gain" means the excess of the outstanding principal balance of nonrecourse debt which is secured by Company property over the Company's adjusted tax basis of such property. This Section 4.2.5.4 is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv), and is to be interpreted, if possible, to comply with the requirements of such regulation. The Manager shall have complete discretion to amend the provisions of this Agreement if such amendment would not have a material adverse effect on the Members and if, in the opinion of counsel, such amendment is advisable to reflect or comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv).
4.2.5.5
To the extent of any recapture income resulting from the sale or other taxable disposition of Company assets, the amount of any gain from such disposition allocated to (or recognized by) a Member (or its successor in interest) for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the above provisions shall be deemed to be recapture income to the extent such Member has been allocated or has claimed any deduction directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gain as recapture income.
4.2.5.6
All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and basis allocation recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company; provided, however, such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and, where appropriate, to provide only Members recognizing gain on Company distributions covered by Section 734 of the Code with the federal income tax benefits attributable to the increased basis in Company property resulting from any election under Section 754 of the Code.
4.2.5.7
Any item of loss, deduction or Nondeductible Expenditure that is attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such debt. If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss for a Member Nonrecourse Debt, any such item attributable to such debt shall be allocated among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which the Members share the economic risk of loss for such debt. The determination of the items of Company loss, deduction and nondeductible expenditure that are attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be made in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2).
4.2.6 A Member's allocable share of the Company's items of income, gain, deduction and loss for tax purposes shall be determined under the foregoing provisions except as follows:
4.2.6.1
Contributed Property. Income, gain, loss and deduction, as computed for the purpose of determining taxable income, with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for Federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
4.2.6.2
Other Property with Gross Asset Value Different from Tax Basis. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset, as computed for the purpose of determining taxable income, shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the manner provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).
4.2.6.3
Tax Elections; Effects on Capital Accounts. Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations addressed by this Section shall be made in a manner that reasonably reflects the purposes and intentions of this Agreement. Allocations made pursuant to this Article are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account, share of Profits and Losses, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
4.2.6.4
Compliance with Code and Regulations. The provisions of this Agreement that relate to the allocations for Federal income tax purposes of items of Company income (including Exempt Income), gain, loss, deduction and Nondeductible Expenditure (including the allocation of such items with respect to property having a Gross Asset Value different from adjusted Federal income tax basis), that relate to the determination and maintenance of Capital Accounts, and that relate to the distribution of Company property upon the liquidation of the Company or a Member's interest therein, are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (to the extent not superseded by Regulations Section 1.704-2) and Regulations Section 1.704-2, and with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such statutory and regulatory provisions, which statutory and regulatory provisions are expressly incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Should such statutory and regulatory provisions be amended, to the extent that such amendments are applicable to this Agreement, the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with such amended provisions.
4.2.6.5
Allocation in Event of Transfer. If interest(s) in the Company are transferred, in accordance with the restrictions of this Agreement, there shall be allocated to each Member who held the transferred interest(s) during the fiscal year of transfer the product of (a) the Company's Profits or Losses allocable to such transferred interest(s) for such fiscal year and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Member has held the interest(s) and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal year; provided however, that the Manager may, in its reasonable discretion, allocate such Profits or Losses by closing the books of the Company immediately after the transfer of such interest(s). Such allocation shall be made without regard to the date, amount or recipient of any distributions that may have been made with respect to such transferred interest(s).
4.2.6.6
Section 704 Consistency. It is intended that the allocations prescribed above constitute allocations for federal income tax purposes that are consistent with Section 704 of the Code and comply with any limitations or restrictions therein, to the extent reasonably possible without causing individual percentage interests ("Interests") to lack uniform characteristics for federal income tax purposes. If uniformity of the Interests cannot be preserved by application of the foregoing rules, then the Manager shall have sole discretion to (i) adopt such conventions as the Manager deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations of income or deduction; and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (a) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code, or (b) otherwise to preserve the uniformity of Interests issued or sold from time to time; provided, however, that the Manager may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and amend this Agreement as provided in this Article only if they would not have a material adverse effect on the  Members and if such allocations are consistent with, and supportable under, the principles of Section 704 of the Code.

7.3.2 The Partnership Representative shall keep each Member informed of administrative and judicial proceedings for the adjustment at the Company level of any item required to be taken into account by a Member for income tax purposes (such administrative and judicial proceedings referred to hereinafter as “judicial review”)
7.3.3 Any Member who enters into a settlement agreement with respect to any Membership item shall notify the Partnership Representative, as applicable, of such settlement agreement and its terms within thirty (30) days after the date of settlement.  Each Member shall provide the Partnership Representative any information reasonably requested in writing by the Partnership Representative and fully cooperate in any tax audit or similar proceeding of the Partnership so that the Partnership Representative can (i) implement the provisions set forth in 4.2 (including by making any election permitted thereunder) or (ii) otherwise comply with the Code and Treasury Regulations.
7.3.4 The Company shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership Representative for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any judicial review, tax audit or similar proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Members.  Neither the Managers nor any Affiliate nor any other Person shall have any obligation to provide funds for such purpose.  The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Partnership Representative in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, are matters that are in the sole discretion of the Partnership Representative and the provisions on limitations of liability of the Managers and indemnification set forth in this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the Partnership Representative, as applicable, in its capacity as such.
7.4 Authority Of Partnership Representative.
7.4.1 The Partnership Representative shall have all the rights, authority and power of a “partnership representative” to the extent provided in the Code and the Treasury Regulations.
7.4.2 The Partnership Representative shall have all rights, power and authority for the making of any election and the conduct of, and the decision to initiate (where applicable), any judicial review involving the Company under the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, including (i) an Internal Revenue Service examination of the Company, (ii) a request for administrative adjustment filed by the Company, (iii) the filing of a petition for readjustment (including choice of judicial forum) with respect to a final notice of partnership adjustment, (iv) the appeal of an adverse judicial decision, (v) the compromise, settlement or dismissal of any such proceedings on such terms as the Partnership Representative, in consultation with the Company’s tax advisors, deems appropriate, taking into account the collective interests of the Member and former Members affected thereby, (vi) if the Company is eligible, electing out of the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures under Code Section 6221(b), and (vii) the making of an election under Code Section 6226(a).  If the consent of agreement of the Members is at any time required in order to make effective any of the foregoing elections, each person or entity that is or has been a Member does hereby give its consent to the making of such election for the duration of the term of the Company.  Members shall take such actions requested by the Partnership Representative consistent with any such elections made and actions requested by the Partnership Representative, including by filing amended tax returns and paying any tax due in accordance with Code Section 6225(c)(2), as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures.  Each Member, on the Member’s tax return, shall treat each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit attributable to the Company in a manner which is consistent with the treatment of such income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit on the Company’s tax return.
7.4.3 The Members further agree that if the Company receives a final partnership adjustment, to the extent permissible under applicable law, the Partnership Representative shall cause the Company to elect under Code Section 6226, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures for any adjustments to the Partners’ distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit to be “pushed-out” to the Partners for the reviewed year through the issuance of adjusted Schedule K-1s.  The Partners covenant to take into account and report to the Internal Revenue Service any adjustment to their items for the reviewed year as notified to them by the Company in a statement furnished to them pursuant to Code Section 6226(a), as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, in the manner provided in Code Section 6226(b), as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, whether or not any of the Members own any Membership Interest in the year of the Company’s statement.  Any Member which fails to report its share of such adjustments on its tax return for its taxable year including the date of the Company’s statement as described immediately above shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any tax, interest and penalties collected by the Internal Revenue Service from the Company as a result of such Partner’s failure.
7.4.4 To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make the election under Code Section 6226, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, with respect to a material imputed underpayment amount (determined in the Partnership Representative’s sole discretion) and the Company pays any imputed adjustment amount (including tax, any penalties, and interest) under Code Section 6225, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, the Company shall allocate such amount among the Company in a manner it determines to be fair and equitable.  To the extent that a portion of the tax liabilities imposed under Code Section 6225, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, for a prior year relates to a former Member, the Partnership Representative may require a former Member to indemnify the Company for its allocable portion of such liability.  The Partnership Representative shall seek payment from each Member (including any former Member) for its allocable amount, and each such Member hereby agrees to pay such amount to the Company (such amount shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution).  Any such amount not paid by a Member (or former Member) at the time requested by the Partnership Representative shall accrue interest at the “Prime Rate” (as set forth from time to time in the “Interest Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal or any successor publication thereto) until paid, and such Member (or former Member) shall also be liable to the Company for any damages resulting from a delay in making such payment beyond the date such payment is requested by the Partnership Representative.  Each Member acknowledges that, notwithstanding the Transfer of all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company, pursuant to this Section 7.4.3 it may remain liable for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Company for the Company’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such Transfer or redemption, as applicable, under Code Section 6225, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures.  Without reduction in a Member’s (or former Member’s) obligation under the foregoing, any imputed adjustment amount paid by the Company that is attributable to a Member (or former Member), and that is not paid by such Member shall be treated as a distribution to such Member (or former Member).  Expense items attributable to any imputed adjustment amount of the Company shall be specially allocated to each Member in proportion to which such Partner bears the cost of such imputed adjustment amount.
7.4.5 The provisions of Section 7.3.4 shall survive indefinitely, and the foregoing covenants and indemnification obligations of each Member shall not terminate, without regard to any Transfer of a Member’s Interest, withdrawal as a Member, or liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company.
7.4.6 Elections.  The Managers may make any tax elections for the Company allowed under the Code or the tax laws of any state or other jurisdiction having taxing jurisdiction over the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event the Class B Member removes the Class A Member as Manager prior to the date that is eighteen (18) full calendar months after the Property Owner acquires the Property, then the Fair Market Value shall not be less than 130% of the purchase price paid by the Property Owner for the Property.

Section 11. Officers.
Member may, from time to time as it deems advisable, appoint officers of the Company (the “Officers”) and assign in writing titles (including, without limitation, President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) to any such person.  Unless Member decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office.  Any delegation pursuant to this Section 11 may be revoked at any time by Member.  The initial Officers are listed on Schedule C attached hereto.  Member may revise Schedule C in its sole discretion at any time.
Section 12. Limited Liability.
Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the debts, obligations and liabilities solely of the Company, and none of the Member, the Special Member, the Independent Manager, and any Officer shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member, Special Member, Independent Manager or Officer of the Company.
Section 13. Capital Contributions.
Member has contributed to the Company property of an agreed value as listed on Schedule B attached hereto.  In accordance with Section 5(c), the Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the Company.
Section 14. Additional Contributions.
Member is not required to make any additional capital contribution to the Company. However, Member may make additional capital contributions to the Company at any time upon the written consent of such Member.  To the extent that Member makes an additional capital contribution to the Company, Member shall revise Schedule B of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 14, are intended to benefit Member and Special Member and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, except as expressly set forth in Section 26(b) of this Agreement, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company (other than a Covered Person) (and no such creditor of the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement) and Member and Special Member shall not have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company or to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 15. Allocation of Profits and Losses.
The Company’s profits and losses shall be allocated to Member.
Section 16. Distributions.
Distributions shall be made to Member at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by Member.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law or any Basic Document.
Section 17. Books and Records.
Member shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books of account and records with respect to the Company’s business.  Member and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right to examine the Company books, records and documents during normal business hours.  The Company’s books of account shall be kept using the method of accounting determined by Member.  The Company’s independent auditor, if any, shall be an independent public accounting firm selected by Member.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence (or, in the case of the Independent Manager, bad faith) or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 20 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member and the Special Member and the Independent Manager and any Officer shall not have personal liability on account thereof; and provided further, that so long as any Obligation is outstanding, no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Section 20 shall be payable from amounts allocable to any other Person pursuant to the Basic Documents.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 20.
(d) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Member might properly be paid.
(e) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Company or any other Covered Person.  The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person to the Company or its members otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless Lender (for so long as any Obligation is outstanding) agrees in writing otherwise, any indemnity of any Covered Person under this Section 20 or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to any Obligations, shall not constitute a claim against the Company in the event that the Company’s cash flow is insufficient to pay such Obligations and shall not be paid whenever any amount is past due under the Loan Documents.
