NOTE 8 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, commissions, fees and expenses payable to CCI III Management and certain of its affiliates in connection with the Offerings and the acquisition, management and disposition of its assets.

Selling commissions and dealer manager fees

In connection with the primary portion of the Offering, which was terminated on December 31, 2018, CCO Capital, the Company’s dealer manager, which is affiliated with CCI III Management, received selling commissions of up to 7.0% and 3.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Offering for Class A Shares and Class T Shares, respectively. CCO Capital reallowed 100% of selling commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. In addition, 2.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Offering for both Class A Shares and Class T Shares was paid to CCO Capital as a dealer manager fee. CCO Capital, in its sole discretion, reallowed all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid to CCO Capital or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

Organization and offering expenses

All other organization and offering expenses associated with the sale of the Company’s common stock (excluding selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution and stockholder servicing fees) were paid by CCI III Management or its affiliates and were reimbursed by the Company up to 1.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds, including proceeds from sales of shares under the DRIP. As of December 31, 2019, CCI III Management had paid organization and offering expenses in excess of the 1.0% of aggregate gross offering proceeds in connection with the Offering. These excess amounts were not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not a liability of the Company as they exceeded 1.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. Since the Offering has been terminated, these excess amounts will not be paid.

Distribution and stockholder servicing fees

The Company pays CCO Capital a distribution and stockholder servicing fee for Class T Shares that, prior to the Board’s determination of an estimated per share NAV, was calculated on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per share of the Class T Shares sold in the primary portion of the Offering. Commencing on February 19, 2019, the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for Class T Shares is calculated on a daily basis in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the per share NAV. The distribution and stockholder servicing fee is paid monthly in arrears from cash flows from operations or, if the Company’s cash flows from operations are not sufficient to pay the distribution and stockholder servicing fee, from borrowings in anticipation of future cash flows. An estimated liability for future distribution and stockholder servicing fees payable to CCO Capital was recognized at the time each Class T Share was sold and included in due to affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value. The Company will cease paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T Shares at the earliest of (i) the end of the month in which the total distribution and stockholder servicing fees paid by a stockholder within his or her individual account would be equal to 4.0% of the stockholder’s total gross investment amount at the time of the purchase of the primary Class T Shares held in such account, or a lower limit agreed upon between the Company’s dealer manager and the participating broker-dealer at the time such Class T Shares were sold; (ii) the date on which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the aggregate sale of the Class A Shares and Class T Shares in the Offering, excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the DRIP; (iii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the month in which the Offering (excluding the offering of shares pursuant to the DRIP) terminates; (iv) the date such Class T Share is no longer outstanding; and (v) the date the Company effects a liquidity event. CCO Capital may, in its discretion, reallow to participating broker-dealers all or a portion of the distribution and stockholder servicing fee for services that such participating broker-dealers perform in connection with the distribution of Class T Shares. At the time the Company ceases paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to an outstanding Class T Share pursuant to the provisions above, such Class T Share will convert into a number of Class A Shares (including any fractional shares) with an equivalent net asset value as such Class T Share. The Company cannot predict when this will occur. No distribution and stockholder servicing fees are paid to CCO Capital or other participating broker-dealers with respect to shares sold pursuant to the DRIP.

Acquisition fees and expenses

The Company pays CCI III Management or its affiliates acquisition fees of up to 2.0% of: (i) the contract purchase price of each property or asset the Company acquires; (ii) the amount paid in respect of the development, construction or improvement of each asset the Company acquires; (iii) the purchase price of any loan the Company acquires; and (iv) the principal amount of any loan the Company originates. In addition, the Company reimburses CCI III Management or its affiliates for acquisition-related expenses incurred in the process of acquiring a property or the origination or acquisition of a loan, so long as the total acquisition fees and expenses relating to the transaction do not exceed 6.0% of the contract purchase price, unless otherwise approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of the independent directors, as commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

Advisory fees and expenses

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Company pays CCI III Management a monthly advisory fee based upon the Company’s monthly average asset value, which is equal to the following amounts: (i) an annualized rate of 0.75% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is between $0 and $2.0 billion; (ii) an annualized rate of 0.70% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is between $2.0 billion and $4.0 billion; and (iii) an annualized rate of 0.65% paid on the Company’s average asset value that is over $4.0 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2018, these advisory fees exceeded the expense limit of the greater of 2.0% of the average invested assets or 25.0% of net income (see operating expenses below) and were not recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. As of December 31, 2018, $576,000 of advisory fees exceeded such expense limit. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, CCI III Management waived its right to receive these amounts, even if future operating expenses are below the expense limits. Additionally, CCI III Management waived its right to receive a monthly advisory fee during the full year ending December 31, 2019. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the advisor waived advisory fees of $385,000, which was not recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. As of December 31, 2019, $961,000 of advisory fees have been waived since inception.

Operating expenses

The Company reimburses CCI III Management or its affiliates for the operating expenses they paid or incurred in connection with advisory and administrative services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse CCI III Management or its affiliates for any amount by which the operating expenses (including the advisory fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceed the greater of (i) 2.0% of average invested assets, or (ii) 25.0% of net income, excluding any additions to reserves for depreciation or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of assets for that period. The Company will not reimburse CCI III Management or its affiliates for compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers or employees of CCI III Management in connection with the services for which CCI III Management or its affiliates receive an acquisition fee, financing coordination fee or disposition fee. During the year ended December 31, 2019, $567,000 of operating expense reimbursements were deferred by the advisor, which were not recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company because such amounts were not contractually payable by the Company. However, these amounts may become payable if the advisor recoups expense reimbursements as capacity becomes available under the greater of 2.0% of average invested assets or 25.0% of net income limitations through reimbursements in a subsequent period.

Financing coordination fees

If CCI III Management provides services in connection with the origination, assumption or refinancing of any debt to acquire properties or to make other permitted investments, the Company will pay CCI III Management a financing coordination fee equal to 1.0% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing. However, CCI III Management will not be entitled to a financing coordination fee on any debt where CCI III Management previously received a fee unless (i) the maturity date of the refinanced debt was scheduled to occur less than one year after the date of the refinancing and the new loan has a term of at least five years or (ii) the new loan is approved by a majority of the independent directors; and provided, further, that no financing coordination fee will be paid in connection with loans advanced by an affiliate of CCI III Management.

Disposition fees

If CCI III Management or its affiliates provide a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more properties (or the Company’s entire portfolio), the Company will pay CCI III Management or its affiliates a disposition fee in an amount equal to up to one-half of the real estate or brokerage commission paid by the Company to third parties on the sale of such properties, not to exceed 1.0% of the contract price of the properties sold; provided, however, in no event may the total disposition fees paid to CCI III Management, its affiliates, and unaffiliated third parties, exceed the lesser of the customary competitive real estate commission or an amount equal to 6.0% of the contract sales price. In addition, if CCI III Management or its affiliates provides a substantial amount of services (as determined by a majority of the Company’s independent directors) in connection with the sale of one or more assets other than properties, the Company may separately compensate CCI III Management or its affiliates at such rates and in such amounts as the Board, including a majority of the independent directors, and CCI III Management agree upon, not to exceed an amount equal to 1.0% of the contract price of the assets sold. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, no disposition fees were incurred for any such services provided by CCI III Management or its affiliates.

Subordinated performance fees

The Company will pay a subordinated performance fee in connection with one of the following alternative events: (1) if the Company’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, CCI III Management, or its affiliates, will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the amount, if any, by which (i) the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock plus distributions paid by the Company prior to listing, exceeds (ii) the sum of the total amount of capital raised from stockholders and the amount of distributions necessary to generate a 6.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to stockholders; (2) if the Company is sold or its assets are liquidated, CCI III Management will be entitled to a subordinated performance fee equal to 15.0% of the net sale proceeds remaining after stockholders have received, from regular distributions plus special distributions paid from proceeds of such sale, a return of their net capital invested and a 6.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return; or (3) upon termination of the advisory agreement, CCI III Management may be entitled to a subordinated performance fee similar to the fee to which it would have been entitled had the portfolio been liquidated (based on an independent appraised value of the portfolio) on the date of termination. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, no subordinated performance fees were incurred related to any such events.
