1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS), or the Company, is a real estate investment trust engaged primarily in the ownership and operation of Class A multifamily properties, with select investments in grocery anchored shopping centers and Class A office buildings. Preferred Apartment Communities’ investment objective is to generate attractive, stable returns for stockholders by investing in income-producing properties and acquiring or originating real estate loans. As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned or was invested in 117 properties in 13 states, predominantly in the Southeast region of the United States. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. The Company was externally managed and advised by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or its Former Manager, a Delaware limited liability company and related party until January 31, 2020 (see Note 6). We refer to this transaction as the Internalization.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 51,728,456 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and was the approximate 99.1% owner of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership, at that date. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 497,291 at June 30, 2021 and represented Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership, or Class A OP Units. The Class A OP Units are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Operating Partnership's choice of either cash or Common Stock. In the case of cash, the value is determined based upon the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company controlled the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and conducted substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership until January 31, 2020. Beginning February 1, 2020, the Company conducts substantially all of its business through PAC Carveout, LLC, or Carveout, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Carveout intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has determined the Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity, or VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is involved with other VIEs as discussed in Note 4. New Market Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Preferred Office Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of office buildings. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owned and conducted the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities until the sale of all our student housing communities on November 3, 2020. Each of these entities are or were indirect subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

The potential reach, severity and duration of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and recent developments related to the Delta variant, will cause our estimates and forecasts of future events to be inherently less certain. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts are presented in thousands where indicated.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2020.

Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
The new standard enables affected entities to elect from a series of practical expedients designed to ease the transition from referenced base rates within contracts designated to be replaced by Reference Rate Reform. The amendments are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. ASU 2020-04 will be applicable to the Company's variable-rate debt instruments for which the Company is the borrower, which bear interest at a spread over the 1-month London Interbank Offer Rate (1-month LIBOR). Among the practical expedients are the option to elect prospective adjustment of the effective interest rate, foregoing reassessment of any instruments under loan modification rules. The Company is monitoring developments pertaining to Reference Rate Reform and does not currently anticipate ASU 2020-04 to have a material effect on its results of operations.

(2) One multifamily community, two grocery-anchored shopping centers and two office buildings are owned through consolidated joint ventures. One grocery-anchored shopping center is an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.
(3) The Company also owns approximately 47,600 square feet of gross leasable area of ground floor retail space which is embedded within the Lenox Portfolio and is not included in the totals above for New Market Properties.
(4) Five of our office properties and the real estate loan investment supporting the 8West office building were sold to Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership, an unrelated party, on July 29, 2021.


Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic that spread throughout the country during 2020 impacted earnings for commercial real estate to some degree but has not had a profound widespread negative effect on the valuations of real estate assets. The Company is continuing to monitor the spread and impact of the Delta variant of COVID-19 as well as vaccination rates in its markets. The Company does not consider this event to be a triggering event for purposes of impairment, since overall occupancy rates for the Company’s real estate assets have not materially declined and the Company has continued to collect substantially all rent due. Thus, there is no evidence of declining valuations or a triggering event.

Sale of Office Properties

Purchase and Sale Agreements were signed on April 16, 2021 for the sale by the Company of five office properties: 150 Fayetteville, Morrocroft, Capitol Towers, CapTrust and Galleria 75, plus one real estate loan investment. The transaction was closed on July 29, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the five office properties (Galleria 75, 150 Fayetteville, Capitol Towers, CapTrust and Morrocroft) did not meet the criteria in ASC 360-10-45-9 to be classified as held for sale. In applying the Company's policy to address the held for sale criteria, the Company used all available information as of June 30, 2021. Primary consideration was given to the financing contingencies in place, that if not satisfied, would likely result in the entire deal being terminated and the full reimbursement to the buyer of all earnest money deposits. The Company did not commit to a plan to sell the properties should the pending transaction not close.

The purchase price offered for the five properties was considered as part of the Company's impairment analysis as of June 30, 2021. In considering possible outcomes driven by the uncertainty of the transaction resulting from the financing contingencies in place as of the reporting date, the Company applied probabilities to the possible outcomes in assessing the recoverability of the real estate asset group. Based on the analysis performed using the available information including management's intent and

13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2021

ability to continue to operate the assets and certain judgements and assumptions, the asset group was determined to be recoverable and no impairment was recognized in the second quarter of 2021. The transaction closed on July 29, 2021, upon the satisfaction of the in-place financing contingencies and will result in a loss on the sale of between $20.0 million and $21.0 million. Refer to the subsequent event note for further details.


Residential Properties Acquired

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the following multifamily communities:

At June 30, 2021, the Company had recorded acquired gross intangible assets of $297.4 million, accumulated amortization of $186.8 million, gross intangible liabilities of $85.9 million and accumulated amortization of $38.1 million. Net intangible assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 will be amortized over the weighted average remaining amortization periods of approximately 7.0 and 8.4 years, respectively.

At June 30, 2021, the Company held restricted cash that totaled approximately $53.7 million. Of this total, $14.0 million was contractually restricted to fund capital expenditures and other property-level commitments such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Another $33.8 million was for lender-required escrows for real estate taxes, insurance premiums and COVID-19 reserves. The remainder of the Company's restricted cash consisted primarily of resident and tenant security deposits.

Purchase Options

In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, the Company will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If the Company determines that it does not wish to acquire the property, in certain cases it has the right to sell its purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount.

15

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2021

These fees are treated as additional interest revenue and are amortized over the period ending with the earlier of (i) the sale of the underlying property and (ii) the maturity of the real estate loans. The Company recorded approximately $3.2 million and $0.4 million of interest revenue from the amortization of these purchase option terminations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $4.4 million and $4.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Remaining unamortized termination fee revenue of approximately $246,000 at June 30, 2021 will be recognized by December 31, 2021.

Joint Venture Investment

On July 15, 2020, the Company contributed its Neapolitan Way grocery-anchored shopping center that was previously wholly-owned and consolidated into a joint venture in exchange for approximately $19.2 million and 50% interest in the joint venture. In doing so, the Company realized a gain on the transaction of approximately $3.3 million and now holds its remaining interest in the property via an unconsolidated joint venture and retains a 50% voting and financial interest.

 (1) Five of our office properties and the real estate loan investment supporting the 8West office building were sold to Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership, an unrelated party, on July 29, 2021.


On March 1, 2021, we closed on a real estate loan investment of up to approximately $16.8 million to partially finance the development and construction of a 320-unit multifamily community to be located in Orlando, Florida. The loan pays a current monthly interest rate of 8.5% per annum and accrues additional deferred interest of 4.5% per annum and matures on September 1, 2024.

On May 28, 2021, we closed on two real estate loan investments of up to approximately $17.1 million to partially finance the development and construction of a 316-unit multifamily community to be located near Savannah, Georgia. The loans pay a current monthly interest rate of 8.5% per annum and accrue additional deferred interest of 4.25% per annum and mature on May 27, 2025.

The Company's real estate loan investments are primarily collateralized by 100% of the membership interests of the underlying project entity, and, where considered necessary, by unconditional joint and several repayment guaranties and performance guaranties by the principal(s) of the borrowers. These guaranties generally remain in effect until the receipt of a final certificate of occupancy. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement. Prepayment of the real estate loans are permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company's consent.

The Company's allowance for expected credit losses includes allowances on interest receivable on certain instruments, as shown in the following table:

Total $ (845) $ 482  $ (323) $ 5,615 

The Company incurred an aggregate net decrease in its allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $0.8 million and an aggregate net increase of $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, $4.5 million of the $5.6 million aggregate increase in the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company updating its estimates to the valuations of the underlying developments. The Company does not anticipate such a large increase in future periods.

The Company assesses the credit quality of its real estate loan investments by a calculated loss reserve ratio, which is an internally-developed credit quality indicator. Loss reserve ratios reflect the amount of protection afforded by the amount of equity and debt financing subordinate to the Company's position in the project; higher reserve ratios reflect a lower amount of invested dollars junior to the Company's position. The following table presents the Company's aggregation of loan amounts (including unpaid interest) by final reserve ratio as of June 30, 2021:

The Company continues to monitor the extent of any impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on development activity underlying our real estate loan investments, including the availability of labor, the supply and availability of construction materials and the ability to achieve leased stabilization. The Company assesses its real estate loan investment portfolio for impacts from COVID-19 at the outset of the project, as well as both quantitatively and qualitatively at the achievement of construction and leasing milestones during the projects' lives.

The Company can make no assurances that economic or industry conditions or other circumstances will not lead to increases in allowances for credit losses.

Management monitors the credit quality of the obligors under each of the Company's real estate loans by tracking the timeliness of scheduled interest and principal payments relative to the due dates as specified in the loan documents, as well as draw requests on the loans relative to the project budgets. In addition, management monitors the actual progress of development and construction relative to the construction plan, as well as local, regional and national economic conditions that may bear on our current and target markets.

(3) The amounts payable under the terms of these revolving credit lines are collateralized by a personal guaranty of repayment by the principal of the borrower.
(4) The commitment was reduced from $8 million to $1.25 million for the Oxford Capital Partners, LLC line of credit on March 30, 2021. A second Oxford line of credit was opened on March 30, 2021 with a commitment of $5.3 million.

On November 20, 2018, the borrower on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit defaulted on the loan, triggering the accrual of an additional 10% default interest rate, which is incremental to the original 8% current interest rate. The amount of default interest recorded from the default date through June 30, 2021 was approximately $2.5 million. Under the terms of the loan, amounts collected are applied first to any legal costs incurred by the Company to collect amounts due on the loan; second, to pay any accrued default and current interest on the loan; and third, to repay the principal amount owed. The Company retains a pledge of a 49.49% interest in an unrelated shopping center located in Atlanta, Georgia as collateral on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit, as well as personal guaranties of repayment from the principals of the borrower.

In January 2019 the Company filed a lawsuit to collect the amounts owed under the line of credit it provided to Haven Campus Communities, LLC. In September 2019, Haven Campus Communities, LLC answered the lawsuit and filed counterclaims against the Company and its affiliates. At this time, the case is in discovery, so the Company is unable to make any estimates on timing or amounts that may be collected by the Company on its Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit.

Additionally, in November 2020, the Company filed two lawsuits to collect past due rent owed to the Former Manager of the Company, as sub-landlord pursuant to (i) an office sublease agreement dated May 1, 2017 by and between the Former Manager and Elevation Development Group, LLC and (ii) an office sublease agreement dated October 1, 2014 by and among the Former Manager, as sub-landlord, and Haven Campus Communities, LLC and Madison Retail, LLC as sub-tenants. The Company retains partial personal guaranties of repayment from the principals of Haven Campus Communities, LLC and Madison Retail, LLC. In December 2020, the defendants answered the lawsuit and filed counterclaims against the Company and its affiliates. At this time, the case is in discovery, so the Company is unable to make any estimates on timing or amounts that may be collected by the Company on its subleases.

The Company extends loans for purposes such as to partially finance the development of multifamily residential communities, to acquire land in anticipation of developing and constructing multifamily residential communities, and for other real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of these loans include characteristics such as exclusive options to purchase the project within a specific time window following project completion and stabilization, the sufficiency of the borrowers' investment at risk and the existence of payment and performance guaranties provided by the borrowers, any of which can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a VIE, which would necessitate consolidation of the project.
The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each entity borrowing under the loan, including the relative amount of financing the Company is contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control held by the Company, guarantees provided by third parties, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses that could be significant from the project. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, consolidation treatment would be required.
The Company has no decision making authority or power to direct activity, except normal lender rights, which are subordinate to the rights of the senior lenders on the projects. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities and therefore it has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their drawn amount as of June 30, 2021 of approximately $279.5 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of June 30, 2021 was approximately $332.7 million, which includes approximately $53.1 million of loan committed amounts not yet funded.
The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310. The Company evaluates the expected residual profit it expects to collect under the terms of the loan versus the expected residual profit expected to be collected by the developer (in conjunction with any equity investors, if applicable), along with the "loan versus investment" characteristics as set forth by ASC 310-25. For each loan, the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate in cases where (i) the majority of the expected residual profit is expected to be due to the developer and (ii) the majority of "loan versus investment" tests indicate that the instrument is a loan.
The Company is subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the 8West and Solis Cumming Town Center, Populus at Pooler, and Populus at Pooler Capital real estate loan investments, as well as the Club Drive land loan investment, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in Georgia. The drawn amount, in addition to outstanding accrued interest, for these loans as of June 30, 2021 totaled approximately $33.9 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $64.7 million). The Company is also subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Hidden River II, Hidden River II Capital, Vintage Horizon West and The Hudson real estate loan investments, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in Florida. The drawn amount, in addition to outstanding accrued interest, for these loans as of June 30, 2021 totaled approximately $21.5 million

(with a total commitment amount of approximately $34.9 million). The event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers and guarantors would subject the Company to a total possible loss of the drawn amount and all outstanding accrued interest.

5. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings
On February 14, 2020, the Company's offering of a maximum of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock (the "$1.5 Billion Unit Offering") expired. See note 6 for discussion regarding a termination fee agreement with and payment to Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, or PCS, an affiliate of the Company, in conjunction with the Company's winding down of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering.

The Series A Preferred Stock, Series A1 Preferred Stock, mShares, and Series M1 Preferred Stock are collectively defined as “Preferred Stock”.

At June 30, 2021, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:

an offering of up to 1,000,000 Shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A1 Preferred Stock"), Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series M1 Preferred Stock"), or a combination of both (collectively the "Series A1/M1 Offering"); and

an offering of up to $125 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering (the "2019 ATM Offering") under our $400 million shelf registration statement (the "2019 Shelf Registration Statement") on Form S-3 that was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019.
Certain offering costs are not related to specific closing transactions and are recognized as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the proportion of the number of instruments issued to the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock anticipated to be issued. Any offering costs not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheets as deferred offering costs.

Cumulative gross proceeds and offering costs for the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:

aggregate gross proceeds of the offering. Dealer manager fees and sales commissions for the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering are not reimbursable.

2019 ATM Offering

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued and sold 1,442,214 shares of Common Stock under the 2019 ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $15.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $14.9 million.


6. Related Party Transactions
On January 31, 2020, the Company internalized the functions performed by the Former Manager and Sub-Manager by acquiring the entities that owned the Former Manager and the Sub-Manager for an aggregate purchase price of $154 million, plus up to $25 million of additional consideration to be paid within 36 months, due upon the earlier of (i) if, for the immediately preceding fiscal year beginning on January 1, funds from operations ("FFO") of the Company per weighted average basic share of the Company’s common stock and Class A Unit (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of PAC OP) outstanding for such fiscal year is determined to be greater than or equal to $1.55 or (ii) on the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the closing of the Internalization. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the sellers sold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of NELL Partners, Inc. ("NELL") and NMA Holdings, Inc. ("NMA") to Carveout in exchange for an aggregate of approximately $111.1 million in cash paid at the closing which reflects the satisfaction of certain indebtedness of NELL, the estimated net working capital adjustment, and a hold back of $15 million for certain specified matters (the "Specified Matters Holdback Amount"). The Specified Matters Holdback Amount is payable to the NELL sellers less certain losses following final resolution of any such specified matters.

Daniel M. DuPree and Leonard A. Silverstein were executive directors of NELL Partners, Inc., which controlled the Former Manager through the date of the Internalization. Daniel M. DuPree was the Chief Executive Officer and Leonard A. Silverstein was the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Former Manager. Trusts established, or entities owned, by the family of John A. Williams, Daniel M. DuPree, the family of Leonard A. Silverstein, the Company’s former Vice Chairman of the Board, and former President and Chief Operating Officer, were the owners of NELL. Trusts established, or entities owned, by Joel T. Murphy, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, the family of Mr. Williams, Mr. DuPree and the family of Mr. Silverstein were the owners of the Sub-Manager.

The Company's Haven Campus Communities LLC line of credit is supported in part by a guaranty of repayment and performance by John A. Williams, Jr., the son of the late John A. Williams, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Because the terms of these loans were negotiated and agreed upon while John A. Williams was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, these instruments will continue to be reported as related party transactions until the loans are repaid.

The Company's Wiregrass and Wiregrass Capital real estate loan investments partially financed the development of a multifamily community in Tampa, Florida by the Altman Companies. Timothy A. Peterson is a member of management of the Altman Companies as well as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Wiregrass loans and the acquisition of the underlying property on March 31, 2020 as described in note 3, therefore qualify as related party transactions.

The Management Agreement entitled the Former Manager to receive compensation for various services it performed related to acquiring assets and managing properties on the Company's behalf, as shown in the following table. There were no such fees incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.
Type of Compensation Basis of Compensation
Three-month period ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands)
Six-month period ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands)
Acquisition fees 1.0% of the gross purchase price of real estate assets $ —  $ 235 
Loan coordination fees 0.6% of any assumed, new or supplemental debt incurred in connection with an acquired property —  47 
Asset management fees Monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total book value of assets, as adjusted —  1,349 
Property management fees Monthly fee up to 4% of the monthly gross revenues of the properties managed —  890 
General and administrative expense fees Monthly fee equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company —  616 
Construction management fees Quarterly fee for property renovation and takeover projects —  14 
$ —  $ 3,151 

The Former Manager waived some of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees for properties owned by the Company. A cumulative total of approximately $25.6 million of combined asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties had been waived by the Former Manager; at the date of Internalization, all of the remaining contingent fees of $24.1 million were eliminated in conjunction with the Company's Internalization transaction.

In addition to property management fees, the Company incurred reimbursable on-site personnel salary and related benefits expenses at the properties that totaled $0 and $1.43 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively. These costs are listed on the company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Former Manager utilized its own and its affiliates' personnel to accomplish certain tasks related to raising capital that would typically be performed by third parties, including, but not limited to, legal and marketing functions. As permitted under the Management Agreement, the Former Manager was reimbursed $0 and $40,451 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 respectively. These costs were recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering or the 2019 Shelf Offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity. In conjunction with the winding down of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, the Company engaged PCS to perform certain termination-related services. These services began in October 2019 and continued through April 2020. The Company paid an additional $0.8 million and $3.1 million for these services for the three-month and six-month periods period ended June 30, 2020 respectively, which were recorded as deferred offering costs.

Prior to the Internalization, the Company held a promissory note in the amount of approximately $650,000 due from Preferred Capital Marketing Services, LLC, or PCMS, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NELL Partners, and a revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing amount of $24.0 million to its Manager. Both of these instruments were extinguished in connection with the Internalization transaction.

On November 20, 2018, the borrower on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit defaulted on the loan, triggering the accrual of an additional 10% default interest rate, which is incremental to the original 8% current interest rate. The amount of default interest recorded from the default date through June 30, 2021 was approximately $2.5 million. Under the terms of the loan, amounts collected are applied first to any legal costs incurred by the Company to collect amounts due on the loan; second, to pay any accrued default and current interest on the loan; and third, to repay the principal amount owed.

7. Dividends and Distributions

The Company declares and pays monthly cash dividend distributions in the amount of $5.00 per share per month on its Series A Preferred Stock and its Series A1 Preferred Stock. For the Company's Series M Preferred Stock, or mShares, dividends are paid on an escalating scale of $4.79 per month in the first year following share issuance, increasing each year to $6.25 per month in year eight and beyond. Similarly, for the Company's Series M1 Preferred Stock, dividends are paid on an escalating scale of $5.08 per month in the first year following share issuance, increasing each year to $5.92 per month in year ten and beyond. All preferred stock dividends are prorated for partial months at issuance as necessary.

Given the nature of the escalating dividends associated with the Company’s mShares and Series M1 Preferred Stock, the Company accrues dividends at the effective dividend rate in accordance with GAAP. This results in the Company recording larger dividends declared to preferred stockholders in the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. than dividends required to be paid for the first four years after issuance with respect to the mShares and the first five years after issuance with respect to the Series M1 Preferred Stock. Similarly, this will result in the Company recording smaller dividends declared to preferred stockholders in the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations than dividends required to be paid for the fifth through the eighth year after issuance with respect to the mShares and the sixth through the tenth year after issuance with respect to the Series M1 Preferred Stock. Following the escalation period (year eight for the mShares and year ten for the Series M1 Preferred Stock), the dividends declared to preferred stockholders in the company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations will equal the dividend paid.  

The Company declared aggregate quarterly cash dividends on its Common Stock of $0.175 and $0.175 per share for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $0.350 and $0.4375 per share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The holders of Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership are entitled to equivalent distributions as the dividends declared on the Common Stock. At June 30, 2021, the Company had 497,291 Class A OP Units outstanding, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common Stock or the equivalent amount of cash.

The Company's dividend and distribution activity consisted of:

The 2019 Plan increased the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan from 2,617,500 to 3,617,500. On June 3, 2021, the holders of the Company's Common Stock approved an amendment to the 2019 Plan that increased the available shares of Common Stock available for issuance from 3,617,500 to 5,517,500. The 2019 Plan does not have a stated expiration date.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

On March 15, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the Company awarded performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain of its senior executives. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock upon satisfaction of both (i) the market condition, at which time the PSUs become earned PSUs, and (ii) the service requirement, beyond which point the PSUs become vested PSUs.

The market condition requirement of the PSUs consists of a relative measure of total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company's Common Stock versus the average TSR of a select group of publicly-traded peer companies. TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of price appreciation and cumulative dividends over the performance period divided by the beginning value of the Common Stock at the performance period commencement date (July 1, 2020 for the 2020 awards and January 1, 2021 for the 2021 awards), where the determining values are derived by calculating the 20-day volume weighted average stock price preceding both the performance period commencement date and the performance period end date (June 30, 2023 for the 2020 awards and December 31, 2023 for the 2021 awards). PSUs will become earned PSUs according to the percentile rank of the TSR of Company's Common Stock versus the peer group’s average TSR, as shown in the following table:


Level
Relative TSR performance (percentile rank versus peers)
Earned PSUs (% of target)
< Threshold

100%
Maximum
>=75th Percentile
200%

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2021


The number of PSUs that become earned PSUs can range between 0% and 200% of the original (target) number of PSUs awarded for the 2020 awards and between 0% and 250% of the original (target) number of PSUs for the 2021 awards, and actual percentile ranking results between the 35th and 75th percentile are to be interpolated between the percentage earned values shown.

In order for earned PSUs to become vested PSUs, the participant must remain continuously employed by the Company or an affiliate company (i) from the grant date through the payout determination date (expected to be no more than 5 days following the performance period end date) for 50% of the PSU award and (ii) from the grant date through the first anniversary of the performance period end date for the remaining 50% of the PSU award.

Since the PSUs vest in part based upon achievement of a market condition, they were valued utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation that excludes the value of Common Stock dividends since dividend equivalents accrue separately to the award holders. The underlying valuation assumptions and results for the PSUs were:

Grant date 3/15/2021 7/31/2020
Stock price on grant date $ 10.86  $ 7.23 
Dividend yield 7.19  % 6.87  %
Expected volatility 49.81  % 44.40  %
Risk-free interest rate 0.29  % 0.11  %
Target number of PSUs granted:
First vesting tranche 103,511  136,462 
Second vesting tranche 103,517  136,467 
207,028  272,929 
Calculated fair value per PSU $ 15.24  $ 6.76 
Total fair value of PSUs $ 3,155,107  $ 1,845,000 

The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock and historical dividend amounts over the trailing five-year period from the grant date.

The Company's own stock price history over the 2.80 year and 2.91 year periods trailing the grant dates was utilized as the expected volatility assumptions for the 2021 and 2020 awards, respectively.

The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the grant date yields on zero coupon U.S. Treasury STRIPS that have a term equal to the length of the remaining Performance Period and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the two-year and three-year yield percentages.

Restricted Stock Grants

The following annual grants of restricted stock were made to the Company's independent directors, as payment of the annual retainer fees. The restricted stock grants for service years 2019-2021 vested (or are scheduled to vest) on a pro-rata basis over the four consecutive 90-day periods following the date of grant. The restricted stock grant for service year 2020 and 2021 is scheduled to vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders..
Service year Shares Fair value per share Total compensation cost (in thousands)
2019 26,446  $ 15.88  $ 420 
2020 66,114  $ 8.05  $ 532 
2021 46,782  $ 10.26  $ 480 

On June 17, 2020, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of its executives and employees. The fair value per share of $8.05 was based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the business day preceding the grant date. A total of 137,741 shares representing a fair value of approximately $1.1 million will vest on the four year anniversary of the grant date and 344,356 shares representing a fair value of approximately $2.8 million will vest on a pro-rata basis on each of the four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date.

On March 15, 2021, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of its executives and employees. The fair value per share of $10.69 was based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. A total of 261,226 shares representing a fair value of approximately $2.8 million will vest on a pro-rata basis on each of the four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date.

Dividend yield 4.95  %
Expected volatility 25.70  %

Calculated fair value per Unit $ 16.66 
Total fair value of Units $ 4,266,409 
Target market threshold increase $ 5,660,580 

The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock on the grant dates and the projected future quarterly dividend payments per share of $0.25 for the 2018 awards.

For the 2018 awards, the Company's own stock price history was utilized as the basis for deriving the expected volatility assumption.

June 30, 2021

The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant date.

Since the Class B OP Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.    

    Restricted Stock Units

The Company made grants of restricted stock units, or RSUs, to its employees under the 2019 Plan, and prior to Internalization, made grants of RSUs to certain employees of affiliates of the Company under the 2011 Plan, as shown in the following table:

Grant date 3/15/2021 1/2/2020 1/2/2019 1/2/2018
Service period 2021-2023 2020-2022 2019-2021 2018-2020

RSUs outstanding at June 30, 2021 20,200  17,000  19,219  12,446 
RSUs unearned but vested —  5,692  12,897  12,446 
RSUs unearned and not yet vested 20,200  11,308  6,322  — 
RSUs outstanding at June 30, 2021 20,200  17,000  19,219  12,446 
Fair value per RSU $ 10.69  $ 9.47  $ 10.77  $ 16.66 
Total fair value of RSU grant $ 220,214  $ 202,658  $ 298,975  $ 345,195 

The RSUs vest in three equal consecutive one-year tranches from the date of grant. For each grant prior to March 15, 2021, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase which exceeds the target market threshold, the Vested RSUs become earned RSUs and are settled in shares of Common Stock on a one-to-one basis. Vested RSUs may become Earned RSUs on a pro-rata basis should the result of the market capitalization test be an increase of less than the target market threshold. Any Vested RSUs that do not become Earned RSUs on the Initial Valuation Date are subsequently remeasured on a quarterly basis until such time as all Vested RSUs become Earned RSUs or are forfeited due to termination of continuous service due to an event other than as a result of a qualified event, which is generally the death or disability of the holder. Continuous service through the final valuation date is required for the Vested RSUs to qualify to become fully Earned RSUs. RSUs issued on March 15, 2021 may become vested subject only to satisfaction of the service requirement.

Because RSUs are valued using the identical market condition vesting requirement that determines the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, the same valuation assumptions per RSU were utilized to calculate the total fair values of the RSUs. The total fair value amounts pertaining to grants of RSUs, net of forfeitures, are amortized as compensation expense over the three one-year periods ending on the three successive anniversaries of the grant dates.

The mortgage note secured by our Independence Square property is a seven year term with an anticipated repayment date of September 1, 2022. If the Company elects not to pay its principal balance at the anticipated repayment date, the term will be extended for an additional five years, maturing on September 1, 2027. The interest rate from September 1, 2022 to September 1, 2027 will be the greater of (i) the Initial Interest Rate of 3.93% plus 200 basis points or (ii) the yield on the seven year U.S. treasury security rate plus approximately 400 basis points.

As of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average remaining life of deferred loan costs related to the Company's mortgage indebtedness was approximately 9.3 years. Our mortgage notes have maturity dates between September 1, 2021 and June 1, 2054.

Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which includes a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit is $200 million pursuant to an accordion feature. The accordion feature permits the maximum borrowing capacity to be expanded or contracted without amending any further terms of the instrument. On May 4, 2021, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, was amended to extend the maturity to May 4, 2024, with an option to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2025, subject to certain conditions described therein. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 3.63% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The commitment fee on the average daily

unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit is 0.20% or 0.25% per annum, depending upon the Company's outstanding Credit Facility balance.

On December 20, 2019, the Company entered into a $70.0 million interim term loan with KeyBank, or the 2019 Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of Morrocroft Centre, an office building located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 2019 Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.7% per annum. The 2019 Term Loan was repaid in conjunction with the closing of permanent mortgage financing for Morrocroft Centre on March 19, 2020.
The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended on May 4, 2021, contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The amount of dividends that may be paid out by the Company is restricted to a maximum of 100% of AFFO for the trailing four quarters without the lender's consent; solely for purposes of this covenant, AFFO is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, plus reserves for capital expenditures, less normally recurring capital expenditures, less consolidated interest expense.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Line of Credit, as amended, as shown in the following table:
Covenant (1)
Requirement Result
Net worth Minimum $1.6 billion
(2)

Total leverage ratio Maximum 65% 61.9%
Debt service coverage ratio Minimum 1.50x
(5)
1.88x

(1) All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Revolving Line of Credit.
(2) The minimum net worth covenant decreased to a minimum of $1.3 billion on July 29, 2021 with the office properties closing.
(3) The minimum debt yield covenant increases to a minimum of 9.0% on May 5, 2023.
(4) Calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. For the period ended June 30, 2021, the maximum dividends and distributions allowed under this covenant was approximately $173.6 million.
(5) Minimum of 1.50x if AFFO payout ratio is less than or equal to 95% and 1.70x if greater than 95%.

Loan fees and closing costs for the establishment and subsequent amendments of the Credit Facility are amortized utilizing the straight line method over the life of the Credit Facility. At June 30, 2021, unamortized loan fees and closing costs for the Credit Facility were approximately $2.1 million, which will be amortized over a remaining loan life of approximately 2.9 years. Loan fees and closing costs for the mortgage debt on the Company's properties are amortized utilizing the effective interest rate method over the lives of the loans.

    Acquisition Facility

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with Freddie Mac through KeyBank to obtain an acquisition revolving credit facility, or Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The purpose of the Acquisition Facility is to finance acquisitions. On March 25, 2019, the maximum borrowing capacity was decreased to $90 million by agreement between the Company and KeyBank. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein.

10. Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes, so long as it distributes 100% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders. For the Company's tax years prior to its REIT election year, its operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status; therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On January 31, 2020, the Company assumed its Former Manager's eleven-year office lease as amended, which began on October 9, 2014. As of June 30, 2021, the amount of rent due from the Company was $13.1 million over the remaining term of the lease.
At June 30, 2021, the Company had unfunded commitments on its real estate loan portfolio of approximately $53.1 million.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had unfunded contractual commitments for tenant, leasing, and capital improvements of approximately $3.5 million.

The Company is otherwise currently subject to neither any known material commitments or contingencies from its business operations, nor any material known or threatened litigation, other than as described herein.

12. Operating Leases

Company as Lessor

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized rental property revenues of $204.1 million and $218.5 million, respectively, of which $21.9 million and $20.5 million, respectively, represented variable rental revenue.

Company as Lessee

The Company has three ground leases related to its office and grocery-anchored shopping center assets that generally have extended terms (e.g. over twenty years with multiple renewal options) and generally have base rent with CPI-based increases. The Company evaluated its renewal option periods in quantifying its asset and liability related to these ground leases. In determining the value of its right of use asset and lease liability, the Company used discount rates comparable to recent loan rates obtained on comparative properties within its portfolio.

The Company is also, as of January 31, 2020 following the Internalization, the lessee of office space for its property support center which expires in May 2026, and of furniture and office equipment, which leases generally are three to five years in duration with minimal rent increases. The Company subleases a portion of its leased office space to third parties; office rental expense is included net of the revenue from these subleases in the general and administrative expense line on the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue from subleased office space was approximately $470,000 and $516,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company recorded lease expense as follows:

13. Segment Information

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company's business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across four distinct segments: Residential Properties, real estate related financing, New Market Properties and Preferred Office Properties.

Residential Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of residential multifamily communities as well as the Company's portfolio of owned student housing properties. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owned and conducted the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities until the sale of all our student housing communities on November 3, 2020. As of and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, the Residential Properties segment only consists of the Company's multifamily communities.

Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of real estate loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets. Excluded from the financing segment are the consolidated assets of VIEs.

New Market Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers.

Preferred Office Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of office buildings.

The CODM monitors net operating income (“NOI”) on a segment and a consolidated basis as a key performance measure for its operating segments. NOI is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate assets plus interest income from its loan portfolio less total property operating and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, property insurance, and general and administrative expenses. The CODM uses NOI as a measure of operating performance because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs, acquisition expenses, and other expenses generally incurred at the corporate level.

The following tables present the Company's assets, revenues, and NOI results by reportable segment, as well as a reconciliation from NOI to net income (loss). The assets attributable to 'Other' primarily consist of right of use assets, deferred offering costs recorded but not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity and cash balances at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company has recorded deferred revenue in an aggregate amount of $47.0 million in connection with such improvements. The remaining balance to be recognized is approximately $34.1 million which is included in the deferred revenues line on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2021. These total costs will be amortized over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements or the individual lease terms. The Company recorded non-cash revenue of approximately $1.9 million for both the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The CODM utilizes segment net operating income, or Segment NOI, in evaluating the performance of its operating segments. Segment NOI represents total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties held during the period. Segment NOI for the Company's financing segment consists of interest revenues from the Company's real estate loan investments and notes and lines of credit receivable, as well as revenues from terminated property purchase options. Management believes that Segment NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating the operating performance of the segments because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not directly related to property operating performance.

(A) The Company's outstanding Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (497 and 742 Units at June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively) contain rights to distributions in the same amount per unit as for dividends declared on the Company's Common Stock. The impact of the Class A Unit distributions on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Class A Units based on dividends declared and the Class A Units' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

(B) The Company’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly. The Company had 1,647 and 2,026 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 217 and 68 outstanding shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company's mShares accrue dividends at an escalating rate of 5.75% in year one to 7.50% in year eight and thereafter. The Company had 86 and 93 mShares outstanding at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company's shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock accrue dividends at an escalating rate of 6.1% in year one to 7.1% in year ten and thereafter. The Company had 25 and 5 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(C) The Company's outstanding unvested restricted share awards (704 and 548 shares of Common Stock at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Given the Company's unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities, the dividends declared for that period are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock.

(D) Potential dilution from (i) warrants outstanding from issuances of Units from our Series A Preferred Stock offerings that are potentially exercisable into 23,235 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 62 Class B Units; (iii) 704 shares of unvested restricted common stock; (iv) 69 outstanding Restricted Stock Units; and (v) 480 PSUs are excluded from the diluted shares calculations because the effect was antidilutive. Class A Units were excluded from the denominator because earnings were allocated to non-controlling interests in the calculation of the numerator.

15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature.

The following tables provide estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's real estate loans include accrued interest receivable from additional interest or exit fee allowances and are presented net of deferred loan fee revenue and credit losses reserves, where applicable.

The fair value of the real estate loans within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of estimates of the fair value of the notes, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the notes until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for notes of similar type and duration. The fair values also contain a separately-calculated estimate of any applicable additional interest payment due the Company at the maturity date

of the loan, based on the outstanding loan balances at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.

The fair values of the fixed rate mortgages on the Company’s properties were developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15, 25 and 35 year notes as of the reporting date. The present values of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the fixed rate mortgages and again at the current market rate. The difference between the two results was applied as a fair market adjustment to the carrying value of the mortgages.

16. Subsequent Events

On July 29, 2021, the Company sold five office properties (Galleria 75, 150 Fayetteville, Capitol Towers, CapTrust and Morrocroft) and its 8West real estate loan investment in a single transaction, for a gross sales price of approximately $645.5 million. Aggregate net proceeds were approximately $241.5 million, after the satisfaction of approximately $404 million of property level debt and other closing adjustments and costs. Based on estimated closing costs, the Company will recognize a loss on sale of between $20 and $21 million in the third quarter. A portion of the proceeds was used to call approximately $221.6 million of the Company's outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock on August 3, 2021.

Between July 1, 2021 and July 31, 2021, the Company issued 532,917 shares of Common Stock under the 2019 ATM Offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.5 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million.

On July 8, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of a 231-unit multifamily community located in Ft. Worth, Texas.

On July 19, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of Vineyards, a 369-unit multifamily community located in Houston, Texas.

On July 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell two office properties, Armour Yards and 251 Armour Yards (the “Armour Yards Portfolio”), to Northwood Investors.

On August 6, 2021, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock of $0.175 per share, payable on October 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2021.

Between July 1, 2021 and July 31, 2021, we issued 29,552 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $26.6 million after commissions and fees and issued 2,743 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million after commissions and fees. During the same period, we redeemed 9,735 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 871 mShares, 70 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, and 52 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Significant Developments

    During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, we acquired The Ellison, a 250-unit multifamily community located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, and we closed on two real estate loan investments in the combined amount of up to approximately $17.1 million, in partial support of the development of a 316-unit multifamily community in Savannah, Georgia.

    During the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, we issued 33,167 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $29.9 million. During the same period, we issued 4,705 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $4.6 million. We also issued and sold an aggregate of 1,442,214 shares of Common Stock under our ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $15.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $14.9 million. Our equity offerings are discussed in detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

On July 29, 2021, we sold five office properties (Galleria 75, 150 Fayetteville, Capitol Towers, CapTrust and Morrocroft) and our 8West real estate loan investment in a single transaction for a gross sales price of approximately $645.5 million. Based on estimated closing costs, we will recognize a loss on sale of between $20.0 and $21.0 million in the third quarter. Upon the closing of this transaction, we expect the disposition of these assets to result in a potentially material decrease in our revenues and results of operations. We used part of the proceeds from the sale to call approximately $221.6 million of Series A Preferred Stock on August 3, 2021.

General
    The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Industry Outlook

    In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe continued, albeit sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will take hold for 2021, with continued improvement in the job market from pandemic lows and growth and improvements in the overall economy. As the country combats the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic with vaccine rollouts and other measures, it should be the case that the impact from the pandemic lessens and the economy can begin a path to normalcy. We believe a recovering economy, improving job market and increased consumer confidence should help create favorable conditions in the recovery for the multifamily sector, grocery-anchored shopping centers and Class A office demand.
42



Multifamily Communities
 
We continue to believe in the health of the multifamily industry, which is driven by both favorable demographic tailwinds and strong economic fundamentals.

Two of the nation’s largest generational cohorts - an estimated 72 million Millennials and 72 million Baby Boomers – continue to create demand for multifamily housing. Lifestyle trends within these groups support the multifamily thesis, with Millennials seeking flexibility and Baby Boomers looking to downsize and reduce ongoing maintenance required with home ownership. These trends are further amplified within our footprint and strategy: operating newly-constructed Class A communities in growing Sunbelt suburban markets. The Sunbelt continues to benefit from in-migration trends as weather, affordability and friendly business environments attract households and corporations alike. Millennials, who on average are forming households and starting families later than prior generations, are now searching for additional square footage, relative affordability and good schools; attributes that are generally more prevalent in the suburbs.

Fundamentally, the multifamily industry is benefiting from the current housing shortage in the United States, which Freddie Mac estimates at 3.8 million housing units as of the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase in the housing stock deficit of 52% from the 2.5 million housing units Freddie Mac estimated in 2018. Furthermore, we believe the U.S. is in the early stages of an economic expansion, which we believe will drive job growth and lead to increased multifamily demand. The sector continues to show resiliency and positive momentum as forecasts generally support stable occupancy, rent growth and net absorption of units.

Investors, both domestic and abroad, continue to seek quality multifamily housing given strong secular demand and the financial stability of the industry. Commercial real estate investment volume remains high with multifamily realizing more volume than any other property type; a trend that has been ongoing and is expected to continue. Moreover, mortgage production remains very healthy and efficient as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, life insurance companies and collateralized mortgage-backed securities lenders compete for borrowers as they see increased demand for multifamily debt, whether for their own account or securitized.

Strategically, the Company is focused on the goal of outperforming the multifamily market on a risk adjusted basis, as it looks for investments that offer an attractive location, superior product or provide a value proposition. Moreover, the Company is purposeful in its management of assets, aiming to provide a relatively stable and steady rental stream from its portfolio by employing principally fixed-rate long-term project-level debt financing and adhering to strict leasing guidelines regarding the credit worthiness of its tenants.


New Market Properties
 
We specialize in owning and operating shopping centers anchored by market-leading grocers complemented by convenience-based retailers across high growth suburban Sunbelt markets. These centers are primarily anchored by Publix, Kroger, Harris Teeter and other market share leading grocers with high sales per square foot. Our focus on an e-commerce resilient, convenience and essential focused merchandising mix benefited from the accelerated pandemic recovery in the Sunbelt with foot traffic returning above pre-pandemic levels in our core portfolio, according to Placer.ai.

The second quarter continued to show strong signs of an expedited recovery in the retail sector amidst continued rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine and easing restrictions across the U.S. Consumers evidenced their desire to get back to their pre-pandemic lifestyles by returning to in person, brick and mortar shopping. Recognizing the accelerated recovery, the National Retail Federation ("NRF") raised their projected 2021 retail sales growth to 10.5% to 13.5%, up from the originally projected 6.5%. The NRF attributes their increased projections to Americans getting back to work and returning to their pre-pandemic spending habits.

Our retail portfolio is predominately located in affluent and growing suburbs across the Sunbelt that have tremendously benefited from the accelerated migration trends. In car dependent areas, or suburbs, in the US, home prices have increased 33% since the pandemic compared to a 16% increase in more transit-oriented urban core areas. The influx in demand in the suburbs generates further confidence in our retail portfolio’s strong positioning as the dominant neighborhood shopping center in many of these flourishing suburbs.

43


We are encouraged by the strong retailer demand in our shopping centers and are strategically focusing on improving our overall merchandising mix to better our positioning in the ever changing retail landscape. Our grocery partners are all engaged in further developing their curbside pickup and Buy Online Pickup in Store ("BOPIS") offerings as they establish themselves as the optimal last mile touchpoint for shoppers. Our tenant base has proven its resiliency during the pandemic. Our grocery partners continue to thrive, and our e-commerce and convenience focused tenancy is positioned well to benefit from the strong tailwinds that the suburbs throughout the Sunbelt are experiencing today.


Preferred Office Properties
 
               Preferred Office Properties operates a 3.2 million square foot portfolio of Class A office assets in markets across the Sunbelt. New leasing activity has slowed and sublease availability has increased in most markets due to uncertainty from COVID-19. We expect to see some level of continued soft demand in the near-term. Despite these challenges, the Company’s office investments are 91% leased with only approximately 5.7% of the portfolio leases expiring through the end of 2022. Furthermore, multi-year contractual leases and rent schedules paired with high quality tenant balance sheets have offered protection against adverse impacts of COVID-19.

The pandemic has highlighted the trend of relocations out of larger gateway cities to the suburban, Sunbelt target markets. As the pandemic eases this trend could continue or abate as the market settles from the disruption of COVID-19. We continue to see interest in our assets from companies of varying sizes and from varying industries, which is a positive trend for our investment thesis and the markets in which we have invested.

As previously announced and referenced in the Subsequent Events section footnote of our Supplemental Financial Data Report, the company sold a substantial majority of its office assets to Highwoods Properties on July 29, 2021. The sale of these assets marks a continuation of our stated strategy to simplify our investment focus and realign our balance sheet. We used almost all of the proceeds from this sale to call over $221 million worth of our Series A Preferred Stock. This call represented all of the Series A Preferred Stock available to us to call at the time.

Critical Accounting Policies
    There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2020.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    As of June 30, 2021, we had 1,161,748 outstanding Warrants from our sales of Units. The Warrants are exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant, with a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share for Warrants issued after February 15, 2017. The current market price per share is determined using the closing market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2021, a total of 531,522 Warrants had been exercised into 10,630,440 shares of Common stock. The 1,161,748 Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2021 have exercise prices that range between $19.50 and $26.34 per share. If all the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2021 became exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $472.0 million and we would as a result issue an additional 23,234,960 shares of Common Stock.

Financial

Our total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 decreased approximately $4.3 million, or 3.5%, to $118.7 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2020, due to the absence of revenues from the eight student housing properties that we sold on November 3, 2020. The student housing properties contributed approximately $12.0 million, or 9.8% of our total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Excluding the student housing properties' contributions to the second quarter 2020, our total revenues would have increased $7.7 million, or 7.0%.

Our net loss per share was $(0.64) and $(1.06) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funds From Operations, or FFO, was $0.23 and $(0.01) per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in FFO per share was driven by:

*the absence of the loss on extinguishment of debt that was incurred in second quarter 2020 of $0.13 per share;
*lower preferred stock dividends of $0.10 per share;
*purchase option termination revenue from the repayment of our Vintage Destin loan of $0.05 per share;
*lower interest expense of $0.05 per share;
*improved property results and increases from acquired properties of $0.03 per share;
*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 of ($0.08) per share; and
*lower current interest from our real estate loan investment portfolio of ($0.02).

Our Core FFO per share (A) increased to $0.33 for the second quarter 2021 from $0.22 for the second quarter 2020, due to:
*lower preferred stock dividends of $0.10 per share;
*purchase option termination revenue from the repayment of our Vintage Destin loan of $0.05 per share;
*lower interest expense of $0.05 per share;
*improved property results and increases from acquired properties of $0.03 per share;
*lower Core FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 of ($0.08) per share; and
*lower current interest from our real estate loan investment portfolio of ($0.02).

Our AFFO per share increased to $0.17 for the second quarter 2021 from $0.05 for the second quarter 2020 due to:

*lower preferred stock dividends of $0.10 per share;
*cash received from purchase option terminations of $0.06 per share;
*lower interest expense of $0.05 per share;
*improved property results and increases from acquired properties of $0.03 per share;
45


*accrued interest received of $0.03 per share;
*lower AFFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 of ($0.08) per share;
*cash paid for closing costs for our renewed revolving line of credit of ($0.04) per share;
*lower current interest from our real estate loan investment portfolio of ($0.02); and
*higher recurring capital expenditures of ($0.01) per share.

Our Core FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 55.3% and our Core FFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 66.8% for the second quarter 2021. (B)

Our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 110.3% and our AFFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 80.0% for the second quarter 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, our total assets were approximately $4.3 billion, a decrease from our total assets of approximately $4.8 billion at June 30, 2020, that primarily resulted from the sale of our student housing portfolio during the fourth quarter 2020 for approximately $478.7 million.

(A) Our Core FFO result for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 has been amended to reflect the movement of the adjustment for expense for current expected credit losses from an adjustment for Core FFO to an adjustment for AFFO.

(B) We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to Common Stockholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to Core FFO and AFFO. We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to preferred stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and Core FFO and AFFO. Since our operations resulted in a net loss from continuing operations for the periods presented, a payout ratio based on net loss is not calculable. See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures.

Operational

Our rental rates for our multifamily same-store properties for new and renewal leases increased 11.6% and 5.3% respectively for second quarter 2021 as compared to the expiring leases, excluding shorter-term leases.

Our rental rates for our multifamily same-store properties for new and renewal leases increased 21.3% and 7.5% respectively for July 2021 as compared to the expiring leases, excluding shorter-term leases.
As of June 30, 2021, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 6.6 years, which is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry.

As of June 30, 2021, all of our owned multifamily communities had achieved stabilization except for one second quarter 2021 acquisition. We define stabilization as reaching 93% for all three consecutive months within a single quarter.

The average physical occupancy of our same-store multifamily communities increased to 96.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 from 94.7% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 95.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

Our average recurring rental revenue collections before and after any effect of rent deferrals for the second quarter 2021 were approximately 99.3% and 99.3% for multifamily communities, 98.9% and 98.9% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 99.7% and 99.9% for office properties, respectively. Rent deferments provided to our residents and tenants are limited and are primarily related to a change of timing of rent payments with no significant changes to total payments or term.

We granted an additional $78,000 of deferred retail rent during the second quarter 2021, raising the total deferred retail rent granted to approximately $2.0 million, or approximately 1.7% of recurring retail rental revenue cumulatively over the last five quarters. Including this deferred rent, our average recurring rental revenue collections were 98.9%, 98.7%, 98.7% and 97.9% for second quarter 2021, first quarter 2021, fourth quarter 2020 and third quarter 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, $1.2 million of the $2.0 million of deferred rent was in repayment, of which 93.7% has been collected. In addition to the deferrals, we granted an additional $200,000 of COVID-related abatements to retail tenants, raising the total abatement granted to $876,000, or approximately 0.7% of our retail portfolio's recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the last five quarters. These rental abatements were generally accompanied by an increase in the tenant’s lease term or the lease terms were amended to be more favorable to us. We reduced our reserve by $216,000, or 0.8% of total retail revenue in the second quarter 2021, or 0.1% of our consolidated rental and other property revenues. Our retail portfolio's total rent reserves over the last five quarters were approximately $2.1 million, or approximately 1.8% of our retail portfolio's recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the same period.

Financing and Capital Markets

As of June 30, 2021, approximately 95.7% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 0.8% has variable interest rates which are capped. We believe we are well protected against potential increases in market interest rates. Our overall weighted average interest rate for our mortgage debt portfolio was 3.47% for multifamily communities, 4.13% for office properties, 3.89% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 3.72% in the aggregate.

At June 30, 2021, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 56.4%.

At June 30, 2021, we had $143.5 million available to be drawn on our revolving line of credit and approximately $37.1 million of cash on hand.

During the second quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,872 shares of preferred stock and redeemed or called an aggregate of 47,986 shares of preferred stock, resulting in a net reduction of 10,114 outstanding shares of preferred stock, for a net redemption cost of approximately $12.9 million. For the period of November 1, 2020 through August 3, 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 143,498 shares of preferred stock and redeemed or called an aggregate of 558,190 shares of preferred stock, resulting in a net reduction of 414,692 outstanding shares of preferred stock, for a net redemption cost of approximately $425.0 million.

During the second quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,442,214 shares of Common Stock under our 2019 ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $15.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $14.9 million.

Significant Transactions
During the second quarter 2021, we closed on the acquisition of The Ellison, a 250-unit multifamily community located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

During the second quarter 2021, we received the full principal amounts totaling approximately $23.5 million from the repayment of two real estate loan investments, plus a purchase option termination fee of approximately $3.0 million and $1.8 million of accrued interest from these loan payoffs. These transactions collectively returned approximately $28.3 million of capital to us during the second quarter for investment, preferred stock redemptions, or other corporate purposes.

During the second quarter 2021, we originated two real estate loan investments with a combined commitment amount of $17.1 million, in support of the development of a 316-unit multifamily community in Savannah, Georgia.

Subsequent to Quarter End

On July 29, 2021, we sold five office properties (Galleria 75, 150 Fayetteville, Capitol Towers, CapTrust and Morrocroft) and our 8West real estate loan investment in a single transaction, for a gross sales price of approximately $645.5 million. Based on estimated closing costs, the sale will result in a loss on sale of between $20.0 million and $21.0 million in the third quarter. We utilized a significant portion of the net proceeds to call approximately $221.6 million of our outstanding Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock on August 3, 2021.    

Between July 1, 2021 and July 31, 2021, the Company issued 532,917 shares of Common Stock under the 2019 ATM Offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.5 million at an average price of $10.30 per share.

On July 8, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Alleia at Presidio, a 231-unit multifamily community located in Ft. Worth, Texas.

On July 19, 2021, we closed on the sale of Vineyards, a 369-unit multifamily community located in Houston, Texas.

On August 6, 2021, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.175 per share, payable on October 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2021.

On July 22, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell two office properties, Armour Yards and 251 Armour Yards (the “Armour Yards Portfolio”), to Northwood Investors.

Real Estate Loan Investments

    Certain real estate loan investments include limited purchase options and additional amounts of accrued interest, which becomes due in cash to us on the earliest to occur of: (i) the maturity of the loan, (ii) any uncured event of default as defined in the associated loan agreement, (iii) the sale of the project or the refinancing of the loan (other than a refinancing loan by us or one of our affiliates) and (iv) any other repayment of the loan. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for us to realize the additional interest amounts. We hold options and rights of first offer, but not obligations, to purchase certain of the properties which are partially financed by our real estate loans, as shown in the table below. The option purchase prices are negotiated at the time of the loan closing and are to be calculated based upon market cap rates at the time of exercise of the purchase option, with discounts up to 15 basis points (if any), depending on the loan. As the market has become more competitive, our ability to negotiate purchase option discounts has become more difficult and we expect that to continue for the foreseeable future. Our purchase options are unlikely to include any discounts going forward unless the market has a significant change or reversal.

Recent acquisitions

Our dispositions (partially offset by acquisitions) of real estate assets since January 1, 2020 were the primary drivers behind our decreases in rental and property revenues and property operating expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 versus 2020, as listed in the tables below:

Rental and other property revenues

    Rental and other property revenues decreased 5.7% and 6.2% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020. Changes in occupancy rates and in percentages of leased space and rent growth are the primary drivers of changes in rental revenue from our owned properties. Factors which we believe affect market rents include vacant unit inventory in local markets, local and national economic growth and resultant employment stability, income levels and growth, the ease of obtaining credit for home purchases, and changes in demand due to consumer confidence in the above factors.

Interest income
    
    Interest income from our real estate loan and note investments increased 23.1% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 versus the corresponding period of 2020, primarily due to the recognition in full of a purchase option discount of approximately $3.0 million from our Vintage Destin real estate loan investment that was repaid on June 1, 2021. The principal
54


amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loan investments decreased to approximately $279.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $323.2 million at June 30, 2020. Interest income from related parties decreased 32.1% and 74.1% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the repayment of the Wiregrass real estate loan investment and the recognition of all the purchase option termination revenue on the loan during 2020. We recorded interest income and other revenue from these instruments as presented in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Miscellaneous revenues

Miscellaneous revenues decreased 81.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 versus the corresponding period of 2020, primarily due to the recognition of a forfeited earnest money deposit of $2.75 million from a prospective purchaser of six of our student housing properties during the first quarter 2020.

Property operating and maintenance

Property operating and maintenance costs decreased 9.9% and 9.7% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents and tenants.

Property salary and benefits

Property salary and benefits costs decreased 14.1% and 10.8% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and the absence in the 2021 periods of costs for individuals who handled the on-site management, operations and maintenance of the student housing properties.

Property management costs

Property management costs decreased 11.0% and 33.3% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the cessation of property management fees paid to our Former Manager effective with our Internalization on January 31, 2020. In addition, the decrease for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was due to the absence of property management costs related to our student housing properties. We paid fees for property management services to our Former Manager in an amount of 4% of gross property revenues as compensation for services such as rental, leasing, operation and management of our multifamily communities and the supervision of any subcontractors; for grocery-anchored shopping center assets, property management costs were generally 4% of gross property revenues, of which generally 2.0% to 2.5% were paid to a third party management company. Property management costs for office building assets are 1.25% to 2.00% and are paid to a third party property management company.     

Real estate taxes and insurance

Real estate taxes and insurance costs decreased 7.6% and 2.5% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020.

Equity compensation to directors and executives

Equity compensation expenses increased 276.0% and 214.9% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to issuances of restricted stock and restricted stock units since March 31, 2020. These instruments have a collective fair value of approximately $12.9 million, that will be amortized as described in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

55



Asset management fees and general and administrative fees to related party

Monthly asset management fees and general and administrative expense fees ceased effective with the closing of our Internalization Transaction on January 31, 2020.

Allowance for expected credit losses

Our allowance for expected credit losses on our real estate loan investments decreased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to recent market movements in multifamily cap rates and valuations. Cap rate compression has pushed multifamily valuations higher, resulting in more protection for our real estate loan investments. Given this reduced risk, we reduced the reserves related to loans supporting multiple developments.

Management Internalization expense

    On January 31, 2020, we internalized the functions performed by the Former Manager and the Sub-Manager by acquiring the entities that own the Manager and the Sub-Manager for an aggregate purchase price of $154 million, plus up to $25 million of additional consideration to be paid within 36 months.

Interest expense

Our interest expense decreased 12.3% and 10.6% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

    We disclose FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO, each of which meet the definition of a “non-GAAP financial measure”, as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result we are required to include in this filing a statement of why the Company believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. The non-GAAP measures of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.


Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“FFO”)

    FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 “White Paper on Funds From Operations,” which was restated in 2018, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") standardized the definition of how Net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO as a meaningful supplemental gauge of our operating results, and as is most often presented by other REIT industry participants.

    The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one reported by the Company) is:

Net income/loss, excluding:
depreciation and amortization related to real estate;
gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets;
gains and losses from change in control, and
impairment writedowns of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

56


    Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, so caution should be taken in comparing the Company’s reported FFO results to those of other companies. The Company’s FFO results are comparable to the FFO results of other companies that follow the NAREIT definition of FFO and report these figures on that basis. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.

Core Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“Core FFO”)

    The Company makes adjustments to FFO to remove costs incurred and revenues recorded that are singular in nature and outside the normal operations of the Company and portray its primary operational results. The Company calculates Core FFO as:

FFO, plus:
• acquisition and pursuit (dead deal) costs;
• loan cost amortization on acquisition term notes and loan coordination fees;
• losses on debt extinguishments or refinancing costs;
• Internalization costs;
• expenses incurred on calls of preferred stock;
• deemed dividends for redemptions of and non-cash dividends on preferred stock;
• expenses related to the COVID-19 global pandemic; and

Less:
• earnest money forfeitures by prospective asset purchasers.


Core FFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to Core FFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize Core FFO as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of Core FFO removes costs incurred and revenues recorded that are often singular in nature and outside the normal operations of the Company, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. Core FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.

Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“AFFO”)

    AFFO makes further adjustments to Core FFO results in order to arrive at a more refined measure of operating and financial performance. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. The Company calculates AFFO as:

Core FFO, plus:
• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;
• non-cash (income) expense for current expected credit losses;
• amortization of loan closing costs;
• depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;
• net loan origination fees received;
• deferred interest income received;
• amortization of lease inducements;
• cash received in excess of (exceeded by) amortization of purchase option termination revenues;
• non-cash dividends on Series M Preferred Stock and mShares; and
• earnest money forfeiture from prospective asset purchaser;

Less:
• non-cash loan interest income;
• cash paid for loan closing costs related to our Revolving Line of Credit;
• amortization of straight-line rent adjustments and acquired real estate intangible assets and/or liabilities;
• amortization of deferred revenues; and
• normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized second generation leasing costs.

57


    AFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those AFFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize AFFO as another measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of AFFO removes other significant non-cash charges and revenues and other costs which are not representative of our ongoing business operations, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Notes to Reconciliations of FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, Core FFO and AFFO to
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders



1)Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 include activity for the properties acquired since June 30, 2020. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.

2)Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership, consisted of a total of 497,291 Class A Units as of June 30, 2021. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with the seller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 1.05% and 1.55% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

3)     We paid loan coordination fees to our Former Manager to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties prior to the Internalization Transaction. The fees were calculated as 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties or refinancing and are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans. This non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO and AFFO. At June 30, 2021, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $10.9 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.2 years.

4)    This adjustment reflects the add-back of (i) consideration paid to the owners of the Former Manager and Former Sub-Manager, (ii) accretion of the discount on the deferred liability payable to the owners of the Former Manager and (iii) due diligence and pursuit costs incurred by the Company related to the internalization of the functions performed by the Former Manager (the "Internalization Transaction").

5)    This additive adjustment to FFO consists of non-recurring costs for signage, cleaning and supplies necessary to create and maintain work environments necessary to adhere to CDC guidelines during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Since we do not expect to incur similar costs once the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we add these costs back to FFO in our calculation of Core FFO.

6)    Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-03, which requires us to estimate the amount of future credit losses we expect to incur over the lives of our real estate loan investments at the inception of each loan. This loss reserve may be adjusted upward or downward over the lives of our loans and therefore the aggregate net adjustment for each period could be positive (removing the non-cash effect of a net increase in aggregate loss reserves) or negative (removing the non-cash effect of a net decrease in aggregate loss reserves) in these adjustments to Core FFO in calculating AFFO.

7)    We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At June 30, 2021, unamortized loan costs on all the Company's indebtedness were approximately $30.9 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 8.5 years.

8)    We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the amortized non-cash income is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold. This non-cash interest income is subtracted from Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO. The amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to FFO once received from the borrower.

9)    This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 8 above) which was earned and accrued on various real estate loans prior to those periods and previously deducted in our calculation of AFFO.

10)    This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of costs incurred to induce tenants to lease space in our office buildings and grocery-anchored shopping centers.


61


11)    Occasionally we receive fees in exchange for the termination of our purchase options related to certain multifamily communities. These fees are recorded as revenue over the period beginning on the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property. The receipt of the cash termination fees are an additive adjustment in our calculation of AFFO and the removal of non-cash revenue from the recognition of the termination fees are a reduction to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; both of these adjustments are presented in a single net number within this line. For periods in which recognized termination fee revenues exceeded the amount of cash received, a negative adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; for periods in which cash received exceeded the amount of recognized termination fee revenues, an additive adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

12)    This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with our acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored shopping center assets and office buildings. At June 30, 2021, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $47.8 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.4 years.

13)    This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings.
    
14)    We deduct from Core FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from Core FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. This adjustment includes approximately $17,000 and $35,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures. See Capital Expenditures, Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center Portfolio, and Office Building Portfolio sections for definitions of these terms.

15)    Since our AFFO results are positive for the periods reflected, we are presenting recalculated diluted weighted average shares of Common Stock and Class A Units for these periods for purposes of this table, which includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents from grants of the Class B Units, warrants included in units of Series A Preferred Stock issued, as well as annual grants of restricted Common Stock and restricted stock units. The weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are the same for basic and diluted for any period for which we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-Term Liquidity

    We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

operating expenses directly related to our portfolio of multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties (including regular maintenance items);
operating expenses related to salaries, benefits, and general and administrative expenses (that were formally funded by payment of fees to our Former Manager prior to Internalization on January 31, 2020);
capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties;
interest expense on our outstanding property level debt;
amounts due on our Credit Facility;
distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders;
cash redemptions that we may pay to our preferred stockholders; and
committed investments.

We have a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. On May 4, 2021, Carveout and PAC-OP, (collectively, the “Borrowers”) and the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which (i) extended the maturity date for the Revolving Facility to May 4, 2024, with an option to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2025, (ii) added Carveout as a borrower and (iii) modified certain of the financial covenants. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Revolving Facility was approximately $56.5 million. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of KeyBank's prime rate plus 0.5%, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, or the one- or three-month per annum LIBOR, as selected by the Borrowers, plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon our leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 3.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit to 0.20% or 0.25% per annum, depending upon our outstanding Credit Facility balance. At June 30, 2021, we had $143.5 million available to be drawn by us on the Revolving Line of Credit.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to affect our short-term cash flows, if multifamily tenants lose their jobs due to business closings, retailers fall behind on their rent obligations, and our office tenants' businesses begin to similarly suffer. Should these events continue to accelerate and worsen, our operational cash flows could suffer and cause us to draw upon our Revolving Credit Line more extensively and in a manner other than we previously intended.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants include minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage and dividend payout ratios. As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. Our results with respect to such compliance are presented in Note 9 to the company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

On December 20, 2019, we utilized proceeds from an interim term loan to partially finance the acquisition of Morrocroft Centre, an office building located in Charlotte, North Carolina, or the 2019 Interim Term Loan. The 2019 Interim Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 170 basis points per annum. We repaid the 2019 Interim Term Loan during the first quarter 2020 with permanent mortgage financing.

    On February 28, 2017, we entered into a revolving acquisition credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with Freddie Mac through KeyBank to obtain the Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The sole purpose of the Acquisition Credit Agreement is to finance our acquisitions of multifamily communities prior to obtaining permanent conventional mortgage financing on the acquired assets. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility was reduced by agreement with KeyBank to $90 million on March 25, 2019. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum,
63


depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein. At June 30, 2021, we had $90 million available to be drawn by us on the Acquisition Facility.

    Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $101.9 million and net cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $21.1 million. The Internalization transaction that closed in the first quarter 2020 reflected one-time cash payments to the entities that owned the Former Manager and Former Sub-Manager that totaled approximately $111.1 million, plus approximately $3.8 million in related professional fees.

The majority of our revenue is derived from residents and tenants under existing leases at our residential properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties. Therefore, our operating cash flow is principally dependent on: (1) the number of residential properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties in our portfolio; (2) rental rates; (3) occupancy rates; (4) operating expenses associated with these properties; and (5) the ability of our residents and tenants to make their rental payments.

We also earn interest revenue from the issuance of real estate-related loans and may receive fees at the inception of these loans for committing and originating them. Interest revenue we receive on these loans is influenced by (1) market interest rates on similar loans; (2) the availability of credit from alternative financing sources; (3) the desire of borrowers to finance new real estate projects; and (4) unique characteristics attached to these loans, such as exclusive purchase options. In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, we will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If we do not wish to acquire the property, we have the right to sell the purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount, which is recognized as interest income over the earlier of the maturity date of the loan or the sale of the property.

    Our net cash used in investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $70.9 million and $177.7 million, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, cash disbursed for property acquisitions totaled approximately $67 million, as compared to approximately $186.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties, office properties and grocery-anchored shopping centers and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of real estate loans and other real estate and real estate-related assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We will seek to acquire more multifamily communities and grocery-anchored shopping centers at costs that we expect will be accretive to our financial results. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property’s value and corresponding revenue-generating power, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents or tenants in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with an acquisition are funded from the capital source(s) for the acquisition and are not dependent upon subsequent property operational cash flows for funding.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, our capital expenditures for our multifamily communities, not including changes in related payables, were as follows:

    In addition, second-generation capital expenditures within our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $3.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and within our office properties portfolio for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We define second-generation capital expenditures as those that exclude expenditures made in our grocery-anchored shopping center and office properties portfolios (i) to lease space to "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our ownership standards, and (iii) for property re-developments and repositioning.

    At June 30, 2021, we had restricted cash of approximately $53.7 million. These funds are restricted for a variety of purposes, such as commitments to fund capital expenditures and lender required escrows for future real estate tax and insurance payments. At June 30, 2021, our restricted cash for future real estate tax and insurance payments was approximately $24.2 million. Typically these escrows increase in the second and third quarters of each calendar year as the Company pays monthly mortgage installments, of which a portion goes to these escrows, until payments are made to the taxing authorities (generally in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year). Additionally, through the mortgage refinances that the Company executed since March 31, 2020, our lenders required us to put an additional $9.6 million into escrows related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These escrows will be released back to us upon the cessation of all governmental emergency declarations and certain other performance conditions.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $16.0 million and net cash provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $178.0 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, payments for redemptions of preferred stock totaled approximately $83.3 million, as compared to approximately $48.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Net proceeds from draws on our revolving line of credit were $34.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, versus $92.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Distributions

In order to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must comply with a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income we distribute to our stockholders. Generally, our objective is to meet our short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of our quarterly Common Stock dividends, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, mShares, Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, our Preferred Stock), through net cash generated from operating results.

Our board of directors reviews the Preferred Stock dividends monthly to determine whether we have funds legally available for payment of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that the Preferred Stock dividends will consistently be paid in cash. Dividends may be paid as a combination of cash and stock in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. We expect the aggregate dollar amount of monthly Preferred Stock dividend payments to increase at a rate that approximates the rate at which we issue new shares of Preferred Stock, less those shares redeemed.

Our second quarter 2021 Common Stock dividend declaration was $0.175 per share. Our board of directors reviews the proposed Common Stock dividend declarations quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.

We believe that our short-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our aggregate dividends and distributions totaled approximately $86.2 million and our net cash provided by operating activities were approximately $101.9 million. We expect our cash flow from operations over time to be sufficient to fund our quarterly Common Stock dividends, Class A Unit distributions and our monthly Preferred Stock dividends.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

We believe our principal long-term liquidity needs are to fund:

the principal amount of our long-term debt as it becomes due or matures;
capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties;
costs associated with current and future capital raising activities;
costs to acquire additional multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers or other real estate and enter into new and fund existing lending opportunities; and
our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status.

We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our Series A1/M1 Offering (as defined and described in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), Common Stock, and units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, and/or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to access further capital through issuances of additional securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.
    
    On September 27, 2019, our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-233576) (the “Series A1/M1 Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Series A1/M1 Registration Statement allows us to offer up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock or a combination of both. The stated price per share is $1,000, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. The shares are being offered by our affiliate, Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”), on a "reasonable best efforts" basis, and we intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the Series A1/M1 Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers, office buildings, real estate loans and mortgages, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

    At June 30, 2021, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:

an offering of up to 1,000,000 Shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A1 Preferred Stock"), Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series M1 Preferred Stock"), or a combination of both (collectively the "Series A1/M1 Offering"); and

an offering of up to $125 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering (the "2019 ATM Offering") under our $400 million shelf registration statement (the "2019 Shelf Registration Statement") on Form S-3 that was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019.

During the second quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,872 shares of Preferred Stock and redeemed an aggregate of 47,986 shares of Preferred Stock, resulting in a net redemption of 10,114 shares of Preferred Stock, for a net redemption cost of $12.9 million. Also during the second quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,442,214 shares of Common Stock under our 2019 ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $15.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $14.9 million.

Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our securities is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about us, and the current trading price of our Common Stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the equity and credit markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive to us or at all. In addition, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital markets, including the availability and costs of debt and equity capital, remain uncertain and may have material adverse effects on our access to capital on attractive terms.

The sources to fulfill our long-term liquidity in the future may include borrowings from a number of sources, including repurchase agreements, securitizations, resecuritizations, warehouse facilities and credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), in addition to our Revolving Line of Credit. We have utilized, and we intend to continue to utilize, leverage in making our investments in multifamily communities and retail shopping centers. The number of different multifamily communities, retail shopping centers and other investments we will acquire will be affected by numerous factors, including the amount of funds available to us. By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for our investments. This will allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a larger and more diversified portfolio.

    We intend to target leverage levels (secured and unsecured) between 50% and 65% of the fair market value of our tangible assets (including our real estate assets, real estate loans, notes receivable, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents) on a portfolio basis. Neither our charter nor our by-laws contain any limitation on the amount of leverage we may use. These targets, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments.

The amount of leverage we will place on individual investments will depend on our assessment of a variety of factors which may include:

The anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the assets in our investment portfolio;
The potential for losses and loan extension risk in the portfolio;
The availability and cost of financing an asset;
Our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties; and
The health of the U.S. economy and the health of the commercial real estate market in general.

In addition, factors such as our outlook on interest rates, changes to the yield curve, the level and volatility of interest rates and their associated credit spreads, the underlying value of our assets and our outlook on credit spreads relative to our outlook on interest rate and economic performance could all impact our decision and strategy for financing the target assets. At the date of acquisition of an asset, we anticipate that the investment cost for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. Finally, we intend to acquire all our real estate assets through separate single purpose entities and we intend to finance each of these assets using debt financing techniques for that asset alone without any cross-collateralization to our other real estate assets or any guarantees by us or our Operating Partnership. We intend to have no long-term unsecured debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels, except for our Revolving Line of Credit. Our secured and unsecured aggregate borrowings are intended by us to be reasonable in relation to our tangible assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. In determining whether our borrowings are reasonable in relation to our tangible assets, we expect
67


that our board of directors will consider many factors, including without limitation the lending standards of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for loans in connection with the financing of multifamily properties, the leverage ratios of publicly traded and non-traded REITs with similar investment strategies, and general market conditions. There is no limitation on the amount that we may borrow for any single investment.

Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our credit ratings (if any), the value of our assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac (who have been a significant and consistent source of financing to the Company and the multifamily market generally), and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us. It is important to note that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are both GSEs (Government Sponsored Entities). GSE reform has been a topic of debate in Congress for several years now, and it is possible that Congress or the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) could materially change the terms and/or availability of mortgage debt to the multifamily industry. These or other changes to the multifamily lending programs of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae could materially affect our ability to acquire or refinance assets.

If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we may have to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times in order to maintain our REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption. Our ability to generate cash from asset sales is limited by market conditions and certain rules applicable to REITs. We may not be able to sell a property or properties as quickly as we would like or on terms as favorable as we would like.

Furthermore, if interest rates or other factors at the time of financing result in higher costs of financing, then the interest expense relating to that financed indebtedness would be higher. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could adversely affect our transaction and development activity, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Finally, sellers may be less inclined to offer to sell to us if they believe we may be unable to obtain financing.

As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $37.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We believe that our long-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded through the sources discussed above.

As of June 30, 2021, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $2.7 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our real estate properties, as presented in the following table:

Contractual Obligations

    As of June 30, 2021, our contractual obligations consisted of the mortgage notes secured by our acquired properties and the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on a LIBOR rate of 0.10% at June 30, 2021, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:
(In thousands) Total Less than one year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than five years
Principal payments:
Mortgage debt $ 2,680,426  $ 153,361  $ 194,504  $ 389,191  $ 1,943,370 
Line of credit 56,500  56,500  —  —  — 
Total principal $ 2,736,926  $ 209,861  $ 194,504  $ 389,191  $ 1,943,370 
Interest payments:
Mortgage debt $ 760,744  $ 97,990  $ 183,371  $ 155,817  $ 323,566 
Line of credit 65  65  —  —  — 
Total interest $ 760,809  $ 98,055  $ 183,371  $ 155,817  $ 323,566 

    In addition, we had unfunded real estate loan balances totaling approximately $53.1 million at June 30, 2021.


Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All our floating-rate debt is tied to the 30-day LIBOR. As of June 30, 2021, we have variable rate mortgages on the properties listed in following table.
Balance
(in thousands)
Percentage of total mortgage indebtedness LIBOR Cap All-in Cap
Summit Crossing II $ 20,700  2.5  % 5.3  %
Total capped floating-rate debt 20,700  0.8  %
Champions Village 27,400  —  — 
Fairfield Shopping Center 19,750  —  — 
The Ellison 47,991 
Total uncapped floating-rate debt 95,141  3.6  %
Total floating-rate debt $ 115,841  4.3  %

    Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread of 3.0% over LIBOR as of June 30, 2021; this combined rate is uncapped. Because of the short term nature of the Revolving Line of Credit and Acquisition Credit Facility instruments, we believe our interest rate risk is minimal.

We have and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:

maintain a reasonable ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt so that floating-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level;
place interest rate caps on floating-rate debt where appropriate; and
take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity financings.
We use various financial models and advisors to achieve our objectives.

    If interest rates under our floating-rate LIBOR-based indebtedness fluctuated by 100 basis points, our interest costs, based on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2021, would increase by approximately $876,000 or decrease by approximately $75,000 on an annualized basis.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

    Management of the Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance that that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

    As required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during such period.

Information Security

Board and Committee Oversight

The Company takes risks related to information security seriously. The Company’s Board of Directors has designated its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee responsible for information security and this committee is made up entirely of independent directors. While no member of this committee has information security experience, the Company is bringing educational opportunities to the committee members to give them information and training related to their oversight role. Management has formed an internal Security Committee that reports at least semi-annually to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and/or the full Board on the Company’s cybersecurity risks and mitigation efforts. The role of the Security Committee is to oversee cyber risk assessments, monitor applicable key risk indicators, review cybersecurity training procedures, created oversee our cybersecurity incident response plans and engage third parties to conduct periodic audits and penetration testing. The most recent presentation from the Security Committee occurred at the Company’s quarterly Board meeting on August 5, 2021.

Insurance

The Company has in place an industry standard cyber security insurance policy with Brit Insurance. This policy provides for some coverage for cyber risks arising out of data and network breaches, third party related breaches, and phishing attacks, data manipulation and potential business interruptions, subject to policy limits and per occurrence deductibles.

Incidents and Responses

During the past three years the Company has suffered only one information security breach related to a phishing email. This event resulted in no additional costs or expenses for the Company. This event occurred in the second quarter of 2021. The Company has not had any expenses related to security breach penalties or settlements in the past three years.

Training and Audits

In 2021 the Company completed a full third-party audit of its cyber security readiness using the National Institute of Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework. The Company is reviewing the results of this audit and is in the process of preparing responses to the recommendations. As part of the response to these recommendations, the Company has assembled a nine-course training program with Brit. This training program will be rolled out in the near future to all employees as the part of a planned cyber security awareness month at the Company. This training program is required for all current employees and will be required for all new hires.

(a)    Performance by Seller. Seller’s performance in all material respects of the obligations, covenants and deliveries required of Seller under this Agreement.
(b)    Seller’s Deliveries. Seller’s delivery at Closing of the following, all documents to be executed originals and, if applicable, witnessed and properly acknowledged (the Closing Documents”):
(i)    Limited or special warranty deeds (as applicable in each jurisdiction) from each entity constituting Seller as to the portion of the Property each such entity owns in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (with respect to the Land located in Georgia) and Exhibit D-1 (with respect to the Land located in North Carolina), subject to the following matters (collectively, the “Deed”):
(A)    Non-delinquent real property taxes, water and sewer charges and all assessments (governmental and private) and unpaid installments thereof which are not yet due and payable, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 below;
8


(B)    Any matter (including any lien, encumbrance or easement) voluntarily imposed or consented to in writing by Purchaser prior to or as of the Closing;

(G)    the Permitted Exceptions, as defined in Section 8.1.
(ii)    An Assignment and Assumption of Ground Leases (with respect to the 150 Fayetteville Tract) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Assignment of Ground Leases”);
(iii)    The Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit F (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”);
(iv)    The Leases, together with any letters of credit held as security deposits under any of the Leases and all instruments reasonably required to transfer such letters of credit to Purchaser;
(v)    The Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G that Seller is not a “foreign person”;

(x)    At least three (3) business days prior to closing Seller must have delivered to Purchaser original tenant estoppel certificates executed by tenants under existing Leases from the following tenants of the Improvements: (1) Albemarle, (2) CapFinancial, (3) Smith Anderson, (4) Wells Fargo (f/k/a Wachovia Bank, N.A.), (5) AgData, (6) Dixon Hughes Goodman, (7) US Attorney’s Office, (8) Garretson, (9) Discovery Education, and (10) J.P. Morgan (collectively, the “Major Tenants”) and from a sufficient number of other tenants of the Improvements (the “Minor Tenants”) so that estoppel certificates are received from tenants leasing no less than seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate area leased in the Improvements, exclusive of any parking leases (the “Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates”). Each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate (1) will be on the form attached to the applicable Lease, if any, or if there is no form attached to the Lease, then will be substantially on the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (provided, however, if any Lease limits the provisions to be included in any estoppel certificate, the form shall be modified accordingly); and (2) will not have been modified in any substantive, adverse manner. The addition of a knowledge qualification or other non-material change to an estoppel certificate will not cause such tenant estoppel certificate to fail to satisfy the requirements for an acceptable Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Seller, at its sole option, may elect to satisfy part of the requirements under this Section 4.1(b)(x) by delivery of a Seller estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (a “Seller Estoppel Certificate”) for up to ten percent (10%) of the leased square footage of the Improvement leased by Minor Tenants whose Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates have not been received by Closing. Any Seller Estoppel Certificate delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be subject to all terms and conditions of Sections 15.15 and 15.21 of this Agreement. If Seller or Purchaser subsequently obtains a Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 4.1(b)(x) hereof, from a tenant for which Seller has delivered a Seller Estoppel Certificate, the delivered Seller Estoppel Certificate will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate in its place. In the event Seller fails, for any reason, to deliver to the Purchaser the required number of Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(b)(x) prior to the Closing, then Seller will not be deemed in default hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Title Company will return the Deposit to Purchaser, and both parties will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive Closing or other termination of this Agreement. Seller will deliver to Purchaser a draft of each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate for Purchaser’s review and approval prior to Seller’s delivery thereof to the tenants. Seller agrees to request a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from each of the tenants under the Leases and to diligently pursue the execution and delivery thereof, provided, Seller shall not be required to pay any money or sue any tenant to procure a Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. If Seller has not delivered the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates prior to Closing, Seller may, at Seller’s option, elect to: (i) adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) business days to allow Seller to continue its efforts to obtain the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates to satisfy. In the event after adjourning the Closing as set forth above, Seller fails to provide a sufficient number of Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to either (Y)
10


waive the Estoppel Requirement and proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (Z) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit.
(xi)    a ground lease estoppel shall be delivered to the ground lessor of each Ground Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Ground Lease Estoppel”), and the executed Ground Lease Estoppel for the Parking Ground Lease must be delivered to Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Ground Lease Estoppels; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Seller shall not be required to pay any money or enforce any contractual rights to procure any Ground Lease Estoppel, and (y) the receipt of a Ground Lease Estoppel for the Green Ground Lease shall not be a condition to Closing. Seller shall also deliver to each of the ground lessors a consent to assignment for each Ground Lease contained in the Ground Lease Estoppel; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, the receipt of any such consent for an assignment of a Ground Lease shall not be a condition to Closing;
(xii)    A Tenant Notice Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M executed by Seller to be mailed out by Purchaser upon Closing;
(xiii)    An assignment and assumption of the Mezzanine Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined in Section 4.4(g)), in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit J (the “Assignment of Mezzanine Loan”);
(xiv)    An assignment and assumption of the Option Agreement (as hereinafter defined in Section 4.4(g)), in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit R (the “Assignment of Option Agreement”);
(xv)    A right of first offer for the benefit of Seller and its Affiliates with respect to certain matters related to the Galleria 75 Tract, in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit S (the “Galleria 75 ROFO”);

(xviii)    An owner’s affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T in order to cause the Title Company to issue to Purchaser an owner’s title insurance policy or policies in the form and condition required by this Agreement (but all such affidavits, certificates or other documents must be reasonably acceptable to Seller);
(xix)    A certificate or affidavit as is required under applicable provisions of Georgia law to assure Purchaser and Title Company that Georgia withholding tax is not required; and
11


(xx)    Such additional assignments, instruments and documents, including title affidavits, certificates or other documents customarily required by the Title Company as defined in Section 8.1 hereof on Seller’s and Title Company’s customary forms, appropriate to be executed and delivered by Seller as may be reasonably necessary to complete the transaction contemplated hereby and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement provided the same are commercially reasonable and do not require disclosure of proprietary information.
(c)    Seller’s Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 13.1 being true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing.
(d)    No MAE on Assumption of Existing Debt.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the conditions to Closing for Seller under this Section 4.2 or any of the conditions to Closing for Purchaser under Section 4.1 are not satisfied as a result of a default by Purchaser or Seller, then their respective rights, remedies and obligations shall be governed in accordance with Article XII.

18


Exceptions”), Purchaser will be entitled to object to the New Exceptions by delivery of a notice of objections to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such supplement or update. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Seller will have not less than ten (10) days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such ten (10) day period and for five (5) days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to, remove the objectionable New Exceptions, provided, Seller will be required to remove prior to or at Closing all monetary liens constituting New Exceptions.

If Purchaser terminates this Agreement, the Deposit will be promptly returned to Purchaser, and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

8.3    Encumbrances. The Existing Debt is a Permitted Exception hereunder and may not be objected to. The existence of mortgages, liens, or other encumbrances not permitted hereby (and which are not relating to the Existing Debt) shall not be objections to title provided that properly executed instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy the same are delivered to the Title Company at the Closing together with recording and/or filing fees (or an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price given for such fees), and Purchaser and Seller agree that such mortgages, liens or other encumbrances may be paid out of the cash consideration to be paid by Purchaser. Seller will be required to remove prior to or at Closing all monetary liens, including mechanics’ liens and material men’s liens (but only to the extent Seller would be liable for the payment of the underlying obligation as the contracting party), judgment liens and tax liens encumbering the property (exclusive of liens securing the Existing Debt), including those monetary liens constituting New Exceptions (collectively, “Liens”), (i) if such Liens were caused solely by the actions or omissions of Seller or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) with respect to all other Liens other than those described in the foregoing clause (i), up to a maximum amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000.00) in the aggregate.

ARTICLE IX

RISK OF LOSS
9.1    Casualty. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing then promptly after Seller becomes aware of the damage or destruction Seller will notify Purchaser thereof (the “Damage Notice”). If the cost of repair is less than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, repairs will, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, take less than six (6) months to effectuate, and no Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such “minor casualty” which has not been waived, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, that Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from such casualty damage and pay to Purchaser any deductible due under Seller’s insurance policy(ies) less the costs of collection. If the cost of repair is equal to or greater than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, if a Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such casualty which has not been waived, if repair will, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, take six (6) months or longer to effectuate, or if any portion of the loss is uninsured and Seller does not elect to credit Purchaser for such uninsured portion, Seller or Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party within ten (10) days after the date of the Damage Notice and determination of the repair amount (and Closing will be extended as needed to provide for such 10-day period), in which event the Deposit will be refunded. If neither party terminates this Agreement within the 10-day period, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction and Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from the casualty and credit to Purchaser any applicable deductible amounts under the insurance policies.
9.2    Condemnation. If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing, a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (“Taking”) is commenced against the Property, Seller will give Purchaser notice within ten (10) days after Seller receives notice that the proceeding has commenced.

20


essence, or such sooner period of time if the Closing is less than thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Taking” shall be a Taking which(i) has, or would have, the effect of reducing the value of the Property which has been acquired or threatened to be acquired by the powers of eminent domain by greater than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, (ii) is reasonably anticipated to materially and permanently prevent access to the condemned Tract, (iii) results in the condemned Tract materially violating or failing to comply with any laws, applicable zoning ordinances (including, without limitation, parking), after the condemned Tract has been restored to an operable condition after the completion of the condemnation and any work to be completed by the condemning authority as a result of such condemnation, or (iv) results in any Major Tenant having the right to terminate its applicable Lease as the result of the condemnation of such Tract, and such Tenant has not waived its rights with respect thereto;
(b)    If the Taking is not a Material Taking or if it is a Material Taking and Purchaser does not give Seller a Taking Notice in accordance with Section 9.2(a), Purchaser will complete the transaction contemplated hereby without abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all rights, if any, to receive the award payable as a result of such proceeding.

10.2    Tenant Defaults; Other Proceedings. Seller will not institute any proceedings against a tenant without Purchaser’s prior approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that Seller may institute a proceeding for delinquent rent without Purchaser’s consent, provided it is brought within six (6) months of the Closing Date and does not seek eviction of tenant. Purchaser will be deemed to have approved commencement of proceedings if Purchaser fails to respond within three (3) business days after Purchaser receives written notice of Seller’s intent to commence proceedings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to prosecute (with Purchaser’s reasonable cooperation after Closing, at no expense or liability to Purchaser) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to Closing provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property.
21


10.3    New Services Agreements / New Leases / New Tract Improvements. Seller will not, without first obtaining Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) enter into new service agreements or amend existing Service Agreements (“New Service Agreements”) unless the agreement is a New Service Agreement for usual and customary property management matters, which can be terminated at Closing. Furthermore, Seller will not (a) enter into new leases or amend existing Leases with respect to the Property (“New Leases”), or (b) commence any improvements on any Tract not already commenced as of the Effective Date (whether in connection with a New Lease or otherwise a “New Tract Improvement”) if any one New Tract Improvement is reasonably expected to cost in excess of $25,000, or all such New Tract Improvements are reasonably expected to cost in the aggregate more than $100,000 without first obtaining Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Purchaser will be deemed to have consented to any proposed New Service Agreement, New Lease or New Tract Improvements unless Seller receives written notice from Purchaser, specifically setting forth the areas of objection within three (3) business days following receipt by Purchaser of the proposed New Service Agreement, New Lease or New Tract Improvements.
10.4    Tenant Inducement Costs / Tract Improvements. Upon Closing, Purchaser will assume all liability for, and shall thereafter pay (or reimburse Seller to the extent Seller has paid prior to Closing), all amounts (including (i) tenant concessions, tenant improvement costs, free rent and leasing commissions or fees collectively “Tenant Inducement Costs”) and (ii) New Tract Improvement costs) either of which is due under or in connection with, any New Service Agreement, New Lease or any New Tract Improvement, provided, any New Service Agreements, New Leases or New Tract Improvement have been approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.3 above, and provided to the extent any portion of the term of a New Lease (for which (i) such tenant is paying full rent and (ii) Tenant Inducement Costs are due thereunder) occurs prior to the Closing Date, the amount of the Purchase Price will be reduced by a pro-rata share of such Tenant Inducement Costs based upon the percentage of such rent-paying term (exclusive of any renewal option) which occurs prior to the Closing Date compared to the portion of such rent-paying term (exclusive of any renewal option) which is scheduled to occur after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all Tenant Inducement Costs, and the costs of improvements to a Tract not constituting a New Tract Improvement (an “Existing Tract Improvement”), which are payable by the Seller (pursuant to the Leases or a contact for Existing Tract Improvements (without giving effect to any unexercised option, extension or similar right as of such date) after Closing as set forth in any Lease, or any contract for an Existing Tract Improvement in existence as March 17, 2021 which have not been approved by Purchaser, all of which are set forth on Exhibit O attached hereto, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs with respect to such Leases, except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.4. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all Tenant Inducement Costs relating to Leases or New Leases (including, without limitation, any amendments or exercises of options to extend Leases by tenants thereunder after March 17, 2021) and New Tract Improvements (provided such New Leases and New Tract Improvements have been approved (or are deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.3) executed or occurring after March 17, 2021). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and Seller agree that the future tenant inducement costs due to tenants Public
22

Purchaser acknowledges that a portion of the Work, and the costs thereof may be completed and expended prior to Closing. It is not expected that the Work will be complete by Closing. To the extent Seller is obligated to pay for the cost of such Work pursuant to Section 10.4 above, Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the cost of Work which has not been paid for by Closing.

11.3    Rents.
(a)    Purchaser shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price for all prepaid Rents, if any, paid by any tenants.

If, on the Closing Date, there are any unpaid rents for the month of Closing or past due Rents owing by any tenant for any prior period (including, without limitation, any deferred rent scheduled to be received after Closing which relates to a period prior Closing), Rents collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date from such tenants will be applied first, to the month of the Closing; second, to amounts due Purchaser for periods following the month in which the Closing occurred; third, to amounts due Seller for the month prior to Closing; and fourth, to amounts due Seller for periods prior to the month before the

The following shall apply to the extent Overage Rent is billed on the basis of Landlord’s estimates or an annual budget, which is subject to subsequent reconciliation and readjustment with each such tenant at the end of the applicable year:
(i)    At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2021, with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2021. Such reconciliation statement shall be based on the actual calendar year 2021 property tax bills and operating expenses. With respect to Overage Rent for the 2021 calendar year, to the extent the reconciliations indicate a net amount owed to Seller, Purchaser shall give Seller a credit at Closing in the amount of such of net amount, and to the extent the reconciliations indicate a net amount owed to the tenants, Seller shall give Purchaser a credit in the amount of such net amount. In either case, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for collecting any such net amounts owed from tenants or returning any net amounts owed to tenants in accordance with terms of the applicable Leases.
(ii)    At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2021 through the end of the calendar month preceding the Closing Date (or the most recent month for which a reconciliation is available if a reconciliation is not yet available for the calendar month preceding the Closing Date), with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2021. Such reconciliation statement shall be based on the actual calendar year 2020, property tax bills and the actual operating expenses for 2021 and indicate any difference between the Overage Rent paid by the tenants (based on Seller’s annual 2021 budget for real estate taxes and operating expenses) and the amount that should have been paid by the tenants through the Closing Date (based on the actual expenses covering such time period);

(iv)    If Seller has collected less from the tenants for Overage Rents than the actual amounts for such time period, then the amount of such under-collected rents shall be paid and delivered to Seller;
25


(v)    Any Seller proposed prorations relating to Overage Rent shall be subject to Purchaser’s review and reasonable approval.
(c)    The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
11.4    Security Deposits. All security deposits made by any of the tenants of the Property now held by Seller, including without limitation the security deposits as shown on Exhibit B-1, or received by Seller prior to Closing, will be turned over or credited to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller is holding any Security Deposits in the form of letters of credit, Purchaser will not receive a credit for such Security Deposits. Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless and free from any liability with respect to security deposits turned over or credited to Purchaser and such hold harmless will include any security deposits in the form of letters of credit which are transferred to Purchaser. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause Security Deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit or other instrument to be transferred or re-issued to Purchaser, and, until such transfer or re-issuance, Seller shall, as Purchaser’s agent and at its request, draw on any letter of credit in accordance with the applicable Lease and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser makes such a request, and Seller effects a draw on the letter of credit and delivers the applicable proceeds to Purchaser, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any claims arising therefrom, including any assertion by a tenant that such draw was wrongful or a breach of the applicable lease, which indemnification shall be inclusive of reasonable attorney’s fees. Any out-of-pocket expense incurred by Seller in such cooperation shall be promptly reimbursed by Purchaser (including the costs and expenses resulting from the transfer of the security deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit). The indemnity provided by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
11.5    Existing Debt. (i) Seller shall be responsible for all principal required to be paid under the terms of each Existing Debt promissory note prior to the Cut Off Time, together with all interest accrued under, and any other amounts due and payable under, such Existing Debt prior to the Cut Off Time (excluding any Existing Debt Fees, which shall be the obligation of Purchaser), and (ii) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all principal required to be paid from and after the Cut Off Time, together with all interest accruing under, and any other amounts due and payable under, each Existing Debt from and after the Cut Off Time. Further, if the Existing Debt Assumption and Release occurs at Closing pursuant to Section 4.4, Seller shall be credited for and Purchaser shall be charged for all amounts held in reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Existing Debt as of the Cut Off Time, to the extent assigned to Purchaser.
11.6    Mezzanine Loan Prorations. Seller shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price equal to (i) the amount of any accrued and unpaid Current Interest (as defined in Section 5.1(a) of that certain Mezzanine Loan Agreement by and between 8West Holdings Mezz Member, LLC, and 8 West, dated as of November 30, 2018, as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto, dated as of July 12, 2019, but made effective as of June 30, 2019, that evidences the Mezzanine Loan the “Mezzanine Loan Agreement”) outstanding on the Mezzanine Loan which
26

This Agreement, together with the Site and Access Agreement, embody the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no oral or written agreements between the parties, nor any representations made by either party relative to the subject matter hereof, which are not expressly set forth herein. If any portion of this Agreement becomes or is held to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, the remaining portions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby and will remain in force and effect to the fullest extent permissible by law.
15.14    No Waiver. No waiver by Purchaser or Seller of a breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by the other party will be construed or held to be a waiver of any succeeding or preceding breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. No waiver of any default by Purchaser or Seller under this Agreement will be implied from any omission by the other party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a default other than as specified in such waiver. The consent or approval by Purchaser or Seller to or of any act by the other party requiring the consent or approval of the first party will not be deemed
38


to waive or render unnecessary such party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.
15.15    Limitation of Liability. If Purchaser becomes aware after Closing of any breach and/or violation of any of Seller’s representations and/or warranties and/or Excepted Claims set forth herein, or of any other matter for which Seller would or could become liable to Purchaser, whether hereunder or under any Closing document, and Purchaser timely commences any action(s) to enforce any alleged breach and/or violation of any of the representations and/or warranties of Seller, or Seller’s liability for an Excepted Claim as set forth in this Agreement or to enforce any other claims for liability against Seller, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any document executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, in no event shall Seller be liable for any special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages, nor shall Seller’s liability in any such event or events exceed one and one-half percent (1.50%) of the Purchase Price (“Seller’s Maximum Liability”) and no claim by Purchaser may be made and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim unless and until Purchaser’s claims are for an aggregate amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Claims Threshold”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concurring such claim(s) shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to Seller’s Maximum Liability. The amount of Seller’s Maximum Liability shall be inclusive of attorneys’ fees, and ancillary court and experts’ costs and fees. Purchaser agrees that, prior to making any claims against Seller, Purchaser shall, to the extent applicable, pursue any remedies it may have against the Title Company pursuant to the Title Policy. The provisions of this Section 15.15 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
15.16    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
15.17    Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, each and all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the successors-in-interest, assigns, and representatives of the parties hereto. As used in the foregoing, “successors” refers to the successors to all or substantially all of the assets of parties hereto and to their successors by merger or consolidation.
15.18    No Partnership or Joint Venture. Seller or Purchaser will not, by virtue of this Agreement, in any way or for any reason be deemed to have become a partner of the other in the conduct of its business or otherwise, or a joint venturer. In addition, by virtue of this Agreement there shall not be deemed to have occurred a merger of any joint enterprise between Purchaser and Seller.
15.19    No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser each agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum, short form agreement or notice hereof shall be recorded, and Purchaser further agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof, and (b) to be responsible for and to
39


indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing by Purchaser of any such notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument.
15.20    Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as defined in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:
(a)    Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(b)    Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(c)    Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is as set forth opposite Seller’s signature to this Agreement.
(d)    Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.
The provisions of this Section 15.20 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
15.21    Survival. Seller covenants, agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Excepted Claims (except for those set forth in Sections 13.1(d), 13.1(h), 15.2, 15.15, 15.20, and this Section 15.21 which are meant to survive indefinitely), shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending six (6) months after the Closing Date or, if another period of time is specified, such other period of time (as applicable, the “Survival Period”). It is expressly agreed that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of all representations and warranties in this Agreement or the breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any closing document, shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the end of the Survival Period and, if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter will be void and
40


of no force or effect. The provisions of this Section 15.21 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed and/or termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period of any alleged breach of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations and shall allow Seller thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional reasonable period of time so long as a cure has been commenced and is being diligently pursued. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequences thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within the Survival Period; provided, however, that if within the Survival Period Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s commencement of a cure, commences to cure and thereafter terminates such cure effort, Purchaser shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the date of such termination within which to commence an action at law for damages as a consequence of Seller’s failure to cure. The Survival Period referred to herein shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations. Purchaser’s waiver(s) and release(s) set forth in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 shall apply fully to liabilities under such covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties and is hereby incorporated by this reference. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller. The limitation as to Seller’s liability in this Section 15.21 does not apply to Seller’s or Purchaser’s liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Article XI.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Seller becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of its representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing. In the event that Seller so discloses any matters which make any Seller’s representations and warranties so untrue in any material respect or in the event that Purchaser otherwise becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which so make any of Seller’s representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that such untruth is not the result of Seller’s breach of any express covenant set forth in this Agreement), but Purchaser shall have the right to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (i) to waive such matters and complete the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) as to any matters disclosed following the Effective Date, to terminate this Agreement if the failure of such representations or warranties would, individually or in the aggregate, result in an adverse impact or cost on or to the Property or Purchaser which, either (x) is in excess of the Claims Threshold, or (y) is less than the Claims Threshold and Purchaser does not receive a credit toward the Purchase Price of such amount at Closing.
No claim for a breach of any of Seller’s Representations shall be actionable or payable (a) if such breach is due to or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter that was known to Purchaser or disclosed to Purchaser or its Affiliate in the Property Documents or by email, overnight delivery or otherwise available to Purchaser or its Affiliate, or in writing delivered to Purchaser or its Affiliate prior to Closing.
41


15.22    Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
15.23    Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of six (6) months following Closing, Seller shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days written notice to Purchaser, to examine and review at Purchaser's office (or, at Purchaser's election, at the Property), the books and records of Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Property, which was delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on fifteen (15) days written notice to Seller, to examine and review at Seller’s office, all non-confidential or non-proprietary books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation by Seller prior to the Closing of the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with one another in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with any reconciliation or audit of tenant expenses, and such obligation shall survive Closing until all such matters are finally resolved.
15.24    Joint and Several. The liability of each constituent entity comprising Seller shall be joint and several with the liability of each other constituent entity comprising Seller.
15.25    Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s sole expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, or its accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its accountants (and will request its property manager as of the date of Closing to provide such information), and which is necessary to enable Purchaser (or HPI and/or its Affiliates) to file its or their Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K if, as and when such filing may be required by the SEC. Purchaser hereby releases and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its Affiliates, agents, employees, and partners, harmless from and against any claims, liability, expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses and damages arising out of Seller's cooperation hereunder or any information provided by Seller pursuant hereto; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent such liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. The indemnity obligations of Purchaser to Seller under this Section 15.25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
15.26    Section 1031 Exchange. The parties acknowledge that the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser may be structured by Purchaser as a like-kind exchange (including a “reverse exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and federal cases interpreting this rule (an “Exchange”). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in effecting such Exchange, provided that Purchaser shall bear all of the expenses and liabilities associated therewith, Seller shall not be subject to any liability, and provided further that Purchaser’s ability to undertake any such exchange shall not in any manner be considered a condition of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the same shall not delay the
42


Closing. It is contemplated that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.103(k)-I(g)4(v) and/or Purchaser may cause the Property to be conveyed (i.e., “parked”) with an EAT organized by a qualified intermediary pending Purchaser’s sale of other properties owned by Purchaser (its “relinquished property”) as part of the Exchange. Accordingly, in the event of such assignment and/or “parking” arrangement, Seller shall, upon notice from Purchaser, convey the Property at Closing to the EAT or EATs organized by Purchaser’s qualified intermediary, and shall to the extent of the assignment, treat the qualified intermediary and/or EAT(s) as the valid assignee of Purchaser’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (a) Seller shall not be required to acquire or hold legal or beneficial title to, or any other interest, in any property for purposes of consummating Purchaser’s Exchange, (b) Seller shall have the right to review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) all documents Seller is required to execute in connection with any Exchange, and (c) in the event of any Exchange, and notwithstanding that in connection with such Exchange record title to the Property may be conveyed by Seller to an accommodation entity which thereupon will later convey title to the Property to Purchaser, all covenants, agreements and indemnifications of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be made by Purchaser, shall survive any conveyance by Seller to an accommodation party, shall continue in favor of and inure to the benefit of Seller and shall be enforceable by Seller against Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement as though the Property had been conveyed directly by Seller to Purchaser and the exchange shall in no way reduce, abridge or modify any of Purchaser’s obligations or any of Seller’s rights or remedies hereunder. Seller will have no liability to Purchaser under or in connection with any Exchange, including in the event the Exchange is not consummated, or in the event Purchaser does not achieve the desired tax treatment.
15.27    Force Majeure Event. If Closing does not occur on the Closing Date because of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) (but unless Purchaser and Seller otherwise agree in writing, no such Force Majeure Event extension shall exceed ten (10) days in the aggregate), the Closing Date shall be extended to the next business day immediately following the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Force Majeure Event” means acts of God (including, but not limited to tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and/or other weather conditions or other national disasters), expropriation or confiscation of facilities by any governmental authority, compliance with any order or request of any governmental authority, strikes, lockouts, riots, or other labor troubles or a national emergency, a pandemic or epidemic, or a failure of the Automated Clearing House or similar wire transfer system utilized for the transfer of money or similar causes not within Seller’s or Purchaser’s control.

CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

In the event any of the conditions set forth below are not satisfied at Closing, Purchaser may (i) waive such failed condition and close this transaction as contemplated hereby, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller on the Closing Date, in which event, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any obligation to the other hereunder, except for those obligations of Seller or Purchaser which, by their terms, expressly survive Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the conditions to Closing for Purchaser under this Section 4.1 or any of the conditions to Closing for Seller under Section 4.2 are not satisfied as a result of a default by Purchaser or Seller, then their respective rights, remedies and obligations shall be governed in accordance with Article XII.



(a)    Performance by Seller. Seller’s performance in all material respects of the obligations, covenants and deliveries required of Seller under this Agreement.
Seller is a party to that Agreement Between Seller and Humphries and Company, LLC (the “Contractor”) dated September 25, 2020 for services to be rendered by Contractor in connection with the design, construction and development of certain improvements currently being constructed on the 251 Armour Tract (the “Construction Contract”). The Seller through the Contractor is currently undertaking the work required to be performed by the Contractor in Construction Contract (the “Work”). Seller anticipates that the Work will be completed prior to the Closing. Seller agrees, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to complete, or cause the Contractor (and all subcontractors who have contracted to complete any portion of the Work collectively the “Contractors”) to achieve Final Completion (as defined below) of all of the Work prior to the Closing Date (including the completion any “punch-list items” identified in good faith by Seller pursuant to the terms of the Construction Contract), subject however to delays resulting from the occurrence of a Force Majeure (as defined in Paragraph 15.2.7 hereof). Seller shall complete, or cause the Contractor to complete, the Work, substantially in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Construction Contract in accordance with all laws, rules and regulations governing same. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term “Final Completion” means that (i) a Certificate of Completion, or similar document issued by the applicable governmental authority, for the building which is the subject of the Work has been issued by the appropriate governmental authority, (ii) Square Feet Studio (the architect for the Work, the “Architect”) has issued the final Certificate of Payment of all sums due to Contractor pursuant to the Construction Contract, and (iii) Seller has made the final payments due under the Construction Contract to the Contractor (the “Final Payment”); provided, however, that this Paragraph shall not require, or be interpreted to require, Seller to make the Final Payment to the Contractor until such time as the Final Payment is actually due and payable to the Contractor pursuant to the provisions of the Construction Contract. Seller shall enforce the terms and conditions of the Contract against the Contractor as reasonably required in order to achieve Final Completion.
Seller hereby agrees to assign to Purchaser the construction warranties relating to the Work, if any, given by the Contractor and all subcontractors in their agreements with Seller or the Contractor (with respect to subcontractors), but only to the extent assignable. In the event the Construction Contract (or any subcontract), or any warranties issued in connection therewith, prevent the assignment of any such construction warranties to Purchaser, Purchaser will either (i) have such Construction Contract (and subcontracts) and/or warranties amended to allow for the assignment of such warranties to Purchaser (provided, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any money to procure such amendments), or (ii) should the amendments referenced in (i) above not be procured, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, in each case at Seller’s sole cost and expense, the warranties contained in such Construction Contract (or any subcontract) against the Contractor (or subcontractors) pursuant to the terms thereof, but with respect to the subcontracts, only to the extent enforceable by Seller thereunder.
Upon completion of the Work, Seller will procure signed lien waivers from (i) the Contractor (and cause the Contractor to procure any signed lien waivers from any subcontractor),



(ii) any design professionals and engineers engaged by Seller in connection with the Work, and (iii) any other potential lien claimant listed on any registry setting forth notices of commencement filed by a contractor in connection with the Work ([i] through [iii] being collectively the “Claimants”). The form of lien waiver shall be sufficient to enable the title company to issue to Purchaser a title policy for the Land without exception to any liens which has or may be filed by the Claimants. If Seller is unable to procure signed lien waivers from any potential Claimant as a result of the Work performed by them related thereto and/or any “punch-list items” that will continue beyond Closing, Seller will be deemed to have satisfied this condition if it delivers or causes to be delivered such affidavits or indemnities to, or makes other arrangements with, the title company, in each case sufficient to enable the title company to issue a title policy on the land without exception to any contractor’s, mechanic’s or materialman’s lien other encumbrances which may be filed to protect contractors under Georgia law.
(b)    Seller’s Deliveries. Seller’s delivery at Closing of the following, all documents to be executed originals and, if applicable, witnessed and properly acknowledged (the Closing Documents”):
(i)    Limited warranty deeds from each entity constituting Seller as to the portion of the Property each such entity owns in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, subject to the following matters (collectively, the “Deed”):
(A)    Non-delinquent real property taxes, water and sewer charges and all assessments (governmental and private) and unpaid installments thereof which are not yet due and payable, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 below;
(B)    Any matter (including any lien, encumbrance or easement) voluntarily imposed or consented to in writing by Purchaser prior to or as of the Closing;
(C)    Laws and governmental regulations, including all building codes, zoning regulations and ordinances, that affect the use, operation and maintenance of the Property, and any violations thereof;
(D)    Such state of facts as may be shown on an accurate and current survey or by inspection of the Property;
(E)    Variations between locations of fences, retaining walls, guy poles, hedges, treelines and shrubs;
(F)    Rights of tenants, as tenants only, of the Land and Improvements under the terms and conditions of all Leases with Purchaser hereby acknowledging that Purchaser has examined such Leases; and
(G)    the Permitted Exceptions, as defined in Section 8.1.



(ii)    Reserved;
(iii)    The Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit F (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”);
(iv)    The Leases, together with any letters of credit held as security deposits under any of the Leases and all instruments reasonably required to transfer such letters of credit to Purchaser;
(v)    The Certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G that Seller is not a “foreign person”;
(vi)    An Assistant Secretary’s Certificate evidencing the authority of individuals to execute any instruments executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, together with a certificate of good standing of Seller;
(vii)    The Bill of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H;
(viii)    A closing statement in form and content satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser (the “Closing Statement”) signed by Seller;
(ix)    All keys and lock combinations for the Property and all leasing and other files relating to the Property and all other licenses, certificates, permits, plans, books, records and reports and other materials that comprise the Intangible Property, to the extent such items are in Seller’s actual possession or control;
(x)    At least three (3) business days prior to closing Seller must have delivered to Purchaser original tenant estoppel certificates executed by tenants under existing Leases from the following tenants of the Improvements: (1) Coyote Logistics LLC, (2) AGS LLC, and (3) GSMA LTD.(collectively, the “Major Tenants”) and from a sufficient number of other tenants of the Improvements (the “Minor Tenants”) so that estoppel certificates are received from tenants leasing no less than seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate area leased in the Improvements, exclusive of any parking leases (the “Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates”). Each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate (1) will be on the form attached to the applicable Lease, if any, or if there is no form attached to the Lease, then will be substantially on the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (provided, however, if any Lease limits the provisions to be included in any estoppel certificate, the form shall be modified accordingly); and (2) will not have been modified in any substantive, adverse manner. The addition of a knowledge qualification or other non-material change to an estoppel certificate will not cause such tenant estoppel certificate to fail to satisfy the requirements for an acceptable Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Seller, at its sole option, may elect to satisfy part of the requirements under this Section 4.1(b)(x) by delivery of a Seller estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N (a “Seller Estoppel Certificate”) for up to ten percent (10%) of the leased square footage of the Improvement leased by Minor Tenants whose Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates have not been received by Closing. Any Seller Estoppel



Certificate delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be subject to all terms and conditions of Sections 15.15 and 15.21 of this Agreement. If Seller or Purchaser subsequently obtains a Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 4.1(b)(x) hereof, from a tenant for which Seller has delivered a Seller Estoppel Certificate, the delivered Seller Estoppel Certificate will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate in its place. In the event Seller fails, for any reason, to deliver to the Purchaser the required number of Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1(b)(x) prior to the Closing, then Seller will not be deemed in default hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Title Company will return the Deposit to Purchaser, and both parties will be relieved of any further obligations hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive Closing or other termination of this Agreement. Seller will deliver to Purchaser a draft of each Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate for Purchaser’s review and approval prior to Seller’s delivery thereof to the tenants. Seller agrees to request a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from each of the tenants under the Leases and to diligently pursue the execution and delivery thereof, provided, Seller shall not be required to pay any money or sue any tenant to procure a Required Tenant Estoppel Certificate. If Seller has not delivered the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates prior to Closing, Seller may, at Seller’s option, elect to: (i) adjourn the Closing for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) business days to allow Seller to continue its efforts to obtain the Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates to satisfy. In the event after adjourning the Closing as set forth above, Seller fails to provide a sufficient number of Required Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be to either (Y) waive the Estoppel Requirement and proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Purchase Price, or (Z) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit.

Purchaser’s pursuit of the assumption of the Existing Debt under this Section 4.4 using commercially reasonable good faith efforts shall start immediately upon the earliest to occur of: (i) December 31, 2021, if Seller has not entered into a Third Party Buyer PSA which is in full force and effect on such date, (ii) if any such Third Party PSA is in effect on December 31, 2021, the date thereafter that Seller provides Purchaser with written notice that such Third Party Buyer PSA has been terminated, provided, if the Third Party Buyer PSA is in effect on December 31, 2021 and has not been terminated by January 31, 2022, Purchaser shall have no obligation to purchase the Property under this Section 4.4(a)(ii) after April 1, 2022, or (iii) the date Seller provides Purchaser with written notice that Seller has ceased marketing the Property for sale to a Third Party Buyer pursuant to Section 2.2, provided, such date shall be no earlier than September 1, 2021 (any of (i) through (iii) being referred to herein as the “Assumption Start Date”).
(b)    Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the provisions of Existing Debt relating to the assumptions of the Existing Debt and agrees, beginning on the Assumption Start Date, to use diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to promptly satisfy all conditions that each of the Existing Debt lenders, any servicer and/or the rating agencies may require in order to cause the Existing Debt Assumption and Release. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser hereby agrees (i) to cooperate with all reasonable requests made by or on behalf of each of the Existing Debt lenders, any servicer and/or any rating agencies for information regarding Purchaser and its Affiliates as potential new guarantors or indemnitors of the Existing Debt (including providing all financial statements, organizational documents, background information regarding Purchaser and its Affiliates and other information and documents requested by each of the Existing Debt lenders, any servicer and/or any rating agencies and/or required to be provided relating to the Existing Debt assumption, (ii) to not request or negotiate any amendments or modifications to the Existing Debt except for those provisions which are personal to the identity of the borrower and necessary to consummate the Existing Debt Assumption and Release, (iii) to execute and to cause its Affiliates to execute all documentation reasonably requested by the Existing Debt lenders, any servicer and/or the rating agencies and/or required to be executed relating to the Existing Debt assumption, (iv) to pay all fees and expenses relating to the Existing Debt assumption, (v) propose new guarantor(s) or indemnitor(s) (consisting of Purchaser’s general partner and/or its Affiliates acceptable to the Existing Debt



lenders and the rating agencies, to enter into replacement guaranties and indemnities in accordance with the Existing Debt documents and (vi) to otherwise cause all other Existing Debt Assumption and Release requirements to be satisfied. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (provided that Seller shall have no obligation to incur any liability or expense other than the fees of its own attorneys) to seek and obtain the Existing Debt Assumption and Release.
(c)    Without limiting Purchaser’s obligations under Section 4.4(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Assumption Start Date but in any event within five (5) business days (the “Existing Debt Application Submittal Deadline”), Purchaser shall, at its sole cost and expense submit to the Existing Debt lenders, with a copy to Seller, complete applications required by each of the Existing Debt lenders to obtain the Existing Debt Assumption and Release, together with all documents and information (exclusive of confidential and proprietary information) required in connection therewith (collectively, the “Existing Debt Assumption Application”). As part of the Existing Debt Assumption Application, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to each Existing Debt lender (with a copy to Seller) on or before the Existing Debt Application Submittal Deadline a written notice setting forth the terms of the transfer of the Property to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (the “Existing Debt Assumption Notice”), together with (x) all such information concerning the transfer, Purchaser and the new guarantor or indemnitor as each of the Existing Debt lenders shall require in evaluating an initial extension of credit, which information shall include a fully executed copy of this Agreement and all amendments and assignments thereto, as well as the sources and uses of funds or closing or settlement statement relating to the transfer to the extent available to Purchaser and (y) a payment of a non-refundable processing fee, if any, as required by each of the Existing Debt lenders. Upon the Existing Debt Lender’s receipt of (i) the Existing Debt Assumption Application (including the Existing Debt Assumption Notice) and all information submitted therewith in accordance with this Section and (ii) the applicable processing fees, Purchaser shall submit same to Seller. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is solely responsible for the preparation of the Existing Debt Assumption Application (including the Existing Debt Assumption Notice), the collection of all materials, documents, certificates, financial statements, signatures, and other items required to be submitted in connection with the Existing Debt Assumption Application.
(d)    Purchaser shall (and shall cause any new guarantor or indemnitor to) use its diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to promptly satisfy and comply with the Existing Debt Assumption and Release requirements and any and all other assumption guidelines of an Existing Debt lender in connection with the Existing Debt Assumption and Release. Purchaser shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for correcting and re-submitting any deficiencies noted by Seller, any of the Existing Debt lenders or servicer in connection with the Existing Debt Assumption Application (including the Existing Debt Assumption Notice) no later than three (3) days after notification from such Existing Debt lender or servicer of such deficiency. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of any correspondence from any of the Existing Debt lender or servicer with respect to the Existing Debt Assumption Application and/or the Existing Debt Assumption and Release no later than three (3) days after receipt of such correspondence from such Existing Debt lender or servicer. Purchaser agrees promptly to (and shall cause any new guarantor or indemnitor to promptly to) deliver to each of the Existing Debt



lenders all documents and information required by the Existing Debt documents, and such other information or documentation as any of the Existing Debt lenders or servicer may reasonably request, including financial statements, income tax returns and other financial information for Purchaser and any new guarantor or indemnitor.
(e)    Purchaser shall pay all fees, costs and expenses to be paid to or on behalf of each Existing Debt lender, any servicer and/or any rating agency(ies) and to their agents, attorneys or other representatives, in connection with seeking and obtaining the Existing Debt Assumption and Release, including all transfer, processing, application, servicing and/or assumption fees, additional reserves and escrows, title and UCC insurance fees, endorsement fees, rating agency fees, non-refundable deposits and reasonable legal fees and disbursements, including the payment of fees and expenses, but exclusive of legal fees incurred by Seller in connection with any legal advice received by Seller related to any loan assumption and release document required to be executed by Seller and/or its Affiliates in connection with the Existing Debt lenders’ approval of the assignment to and assumption by Purchaser of the Existing Debt (collectively, “Existing Debt Fees”) when due, whether before, at or after the Closing and whether or not the Closing occurs, imposed or charged by any of the Existing Debt lenders, servicer, the rating agencies and their respective counsel in connection with the Existing Debt Assumption Application and the Existing Debt Assumption and Release, and Seller shall have no obligation to pay any Existing Debt Fees.
(f)    If the Existing Debt Assumption and Release occurs at Closing pursuant to this Section 4.4(f), at Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for (i) replacing (and increasing to the extent required by any of the Existing Debt lenders) all reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be maintained in connection with the Existing Debt, to the extent such existing reserves, impounds and other accounts are not assigned to Purchaser and (ii) funding any additional reserves, impounds or accounts reasonably required by the Existing Debt lenders in connection with the Existing Debt. Except as provided in Section 4.1(d), (i) neither obtaining the Existing Debt Assumption and Release approval, nor the occurrence of the Existing Debt Assumption and Release on the Closing Date, shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions described herein, and (ii) Purchaser shall have no right to extend the Closing Date on account of Purchaser’s failure to obtain the Existing Debt Assumption and Release approval or the failure of the Existing Debt Assumption and Release to occur on the Closing Date.
(g)    The provisions of clauses (d), (e), (f) and this (g) of this Section 4.4 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

TITLE AND SURVEY; REA
8.1    Approval of Title Documents and Survey. Purchaser has approved the status of title to the Property after obtaining commitments for title insurance (“Title Commitments”) for the Land and the Leasehold Parcels from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) and any recertification of the surveys delivered by Seller to Purchaser (the “Current Surveys”) or new surveys that Purchaser has elected to obtain with respect to the Land and the Leasehold Parcels (the “New Surveys”). All of the matters disclosed on the Title Commitments and New Surveys, together with and all other matters otherwise affecting title to the Land and Leasehold Parcels will constitute the “Permitted Exceptions”.
8.2    Title Updates. If any supplemental title report or update issued subsequent to the Effective Date contains exceptions other than those in the Title Commitments or New Surveys



and which have a material adverse effect on the use, value or operation of the Property (“New Exceptions”), Purchaser will be entitled to object to the New Exceptions by delivery of a notice of objections to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such supplement or update. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Seller will have not less than ten (10) days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such ten (10) day period and for five (5) days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Seller may, but is under no obligation to, remove the objectionable New Exceptions, provided, Seller will be required to remove prior to or at Closing all monetary liens constituting New Exceptions. If, within the ten (10) day period, Seller or Title Company does not (or does not agree to) remove the objectionable New Exceptions (provided Seller will remove all monetary liens), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller no later than five (5) days following expiration of the (10) day cure period. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement, the Deposit will be promptly returned to Purchaser, and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement). If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those Seller and/or Title Company has removed or agreed to remove) will be included as Permitted Exceptions.
8.3    Encumbrances. The Existing Debt is a Permitted Exception hereunder and may not be objected to. The existence of mortgages, liens, or other encumbrances not permitted hereby (and which are not relating to the Existing Debt) shall not be objections to title provided that properly executed instruments in recordable form necessary to satisfy the same are delivered to the Title Company at the Closing together with recording and/or filing fees (or an appropriate credit against the Purchase Price given for such fees), and Purchaser and Seller agree that such mortgages, liens or other encumbrances may be paid out of the cash consideration to be paid by Purchaser. Seller will be required to remove prior to or at Closing all monetary liens, including mechanics’ liens and material men’s liens (but only to the extent Seller would be liable for the payment of the underlying obligation as the contracting party), judgment liens and tax liens encumbering the property (exclusive of liens securing the Existing Debt), including those monetary liens constituting New Exceptions (collectively, “Liens”), (i) if such Liens were caused solely by the actions or omissions of Seller or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) with respect to all other Liens other than those described in the foregoing clause (i), up to a maximum amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000.00) in the aggregate.
8.4    Notice of Commencement. Work performed or to be performed by a tenant under a Lease, or on behalf of a tenant or subtenant under a Lease, affecting the Property (in each case, as a result of the tenant contracting for such work) will not be Seller’s responsibility. Accordingly, neither notices of commencement of work to be performed by contractors or subcontractors engaged by such tenants or subtenants (but not Seller) nor any liens filed with respect to any such work performed will constitute New Exceptions, and the same, if any, shall constitute Permitted Exceptions. In addition, any ongoing work being performed by Seller shall not constitute New Exceptions and the costs and risks of such work shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with Section 10.5 below.



8.5    Seller’s Failure to Remove. Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to remove any objectionable Exception or New Exception that Seller agreed in accordance with the terms of this Article to remove by delivering written notice of such extension to Purchaser prior to the original Closing Date. If Seller fails on or before Closing (as may be extended) to remove any objectionable Exception or New Exception that Seller agreed in accordance with the terms of this Article to remove, then Purchaser may elect either to close with no adjustment to the Purchase Price or exercise its remedies pursuant to Section 12.2.
ARTICLE IX

RISK OF LOSS
9.1    Casualty. If the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing then promptly after Seller becomes aware of the damage or destruction Seller will notify Purchaser thereof (the “Damage Notice”). If the cost of repair is less than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, repairs will, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, take less than six (6) months to effectuate, and no Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such “minor casualty” which has not been waived, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction; provided, however, that Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from such casualty damage and pay to Purchaser any deductible due under Seller’s insurance policy(ies) less the costs of collection. If the cost of repair is equal to or greater than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, if a Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such casualty which has not been waived, if repair will, in Seller’s reasonable estimation, take six (6) months or longer to effectuate, or if any portion of the loss is uninsured and Seller does not elect to credit Purchaser for such uninsured portion, Seller or Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party within ten (10) days after the date of the Damage Notice and determination of the repair amount (and Closing will be extended as needed to provide for such 10-day period), in which event the Deposit will be refunded. If neither party terminates this Agreement within the 10-day period, Closing will proceed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the full Purchase Price, notwithstanding the damage or destruction and Seller will pay or assign to Purchaser at Closing all insurance proceeds, if any, resulting from the casualty and credit to Purchaser any applicable deductible amounts under the insurance policies.
9.2    Condemnation. If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing, a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (“Taking”) is commenced against the Property, Seller will give Purchaser notice within ten (10) days after Seller receives notice that the proceeding has commenced.
(a)    If the Taking is a Material Taking (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller (“Taking Notice”) elect to terminate this Agreement, which Taking Notice shall be sent no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller’s notice, time being of the



essence, or such sooner period of time if the Closing is less than thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Taking” shall be a Taking which(i) has, or would have, the effect of reducing the value of the Property which has been acquired or threatened to be acquired by the powers of eminent domain by greater than two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price, (ii) is reasonably anticipated to materially and permanently prevent access to the condemned Tract, (iii) results in the condemned Tract materially violating or failing to comply with any laws, applicable zoning ordinances (including, without limitation, parking), after the condemned Tract has been restored to an operable condition after the completion of the condemnation and any work to be completed by the condemning authority as a result of such condemnation, or (iv) results in any Major Tenant having the right to terminate its applicable Lease as the result of the condemnation of such Tract, and such Tenant has not waived its rights with respect thereto;
(b)    If the Taking is not a Material Taking or if it is a Material Taking and Purchaser does not give Seller a Taking Notice in accordance with Section 9.2(a), Purchaser will complete the transaction contemplated hereby without abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Purchaser all rights, if any, to receive the award payable as a result of such proceeding.
ARTICLE X

From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller will continue to operate and maintain the Property consistent with its standards of operation and maintenance prevailing immediately prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall not be obligated, or have the authority, to make any commitment with respect to capital expenditures, except (i) as set forth in Section 10.3 below, (ii) as Landlord may be obligated to make under the terms of any Lease after a demand by a tenant therefor, and (iii) as may be required in emergency situations to prevent personal injury or property damage, and under no circumstances will Seller be in breach of its obligations under this Agreement for failing to authorize or commence any such capital expenditures.
10.2    Tenant Defaults; Other Proceedings. Seller will not institute any proceedings against a tenant without Purchaser’s prior approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that Seller may institute a proceeding for delinquent rent without Purchaser’s consent, provided it is brought within six (6) months of the Closing Date and does not seek eviction of tenant. Purchaser will be deemed to have approved commencement of proceedings if Purchaser fails to respond within three (3) business days after Purchaser receives written notice of Seller’s intent to commence proceedings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to prosecute (with Purchaser’s reasonable cooperation after Closing, at no expense or liability to Purchaser) and retain any recovery in connection with any tax appeals or contests with respect to taxes assessed against the Property for tax periods prior to Closing provided such recovery action will not result in a deferral of taxes or reassessment against the Property.



10.3    New Services Agreements / New Leases / New Tract Improvements. Seller will not, without first obtaining Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) enter into new service agreements or amend existing Service Agreements (“New Service Agreements”) unless the agreement is a New Service Agreement for usual and customary property management matters, which can be terminated at Closing. Furthermore, Seller will not (a) enter into new leases or amend existing Leases with respect to the Property (“New Leases”), or (b) commence any improvements on any Tract not already commenced as of the Effective Date (whether in connection with a New Lease or otherwise a “New Tract Improvement”) if any one New Tract Improvement is reasonably expected to cost in excess of $25,000, or all such New Tract Improvements are reasonably expected to cost in the aggregate more than $100,000 without first obtaining Purchaser’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Purchaser will be deemed to have consented to any proposed New Service Agreement, New Lease or New Tract Improvements unless Seller receives written notice from Purchaser, specifically setting forth the areas of objection within three (3) business days following receipt by Purchaser of the proposed New Service Agreement, New Lease or New Tract Improvements.
10.4    Tenant Inducement Costs / Tract Improvements. Upon Closing, Purchaser will assume all liability for, and shall thereafter pay (or reimburse Seller to the extent Seller has paid prior to Closing), all amounts (including (i) tenant concessions, tenant improvement costs, free rent and leasing commissions or fees collectively “Tenant Inducement Costs”) and (ii) New Tract Improvement costs) either of which is due under or in connection with, any New Service Agreement, New Lease or any New Tract Improvement, provided, any New Service Agreements, New Leases or New Tract Improvement have been approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.3 above, and provided to the extent any portion of the term of a New Lease (for which (i) such tenant is paying full rent and (ii) Tenant Inducement Costs are due thereunder) occurs prior to the Closing Date, the amount of the Purchase Price will be reduced by a pro-rata share of such Tenant Inducement Costs based upon the percentage of such rent-paying term (exclusive of any renewal option) which occurs prior to the Closing Date compared to the portion of such rent-paying term (exclusive of any renewal option) which is scheduled to occur after the Closing Date. Seller shall be responsible for all Tenant Inducement Costs, and the costs of improvements to a Tract not constituting a New Tract Improvement (an “Existing Tract Improvement”), which are payable by the Seller (pursuant to the Leases or a contact for Existing Tract Improvements (without giving effect to any unexercised option, extension or similar right as of such date) after Closing as set forth in any Lease, or any contract for an Existing Tract Improvement in existence as March 17, 2021 which have not been approved by Purchaser, all of which are set forth on Exhibit O attached hereto, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs with respect to such Leases. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all Tenant Inducement Costs relating to Leases or New Leases (including, without limitation, any amendments or exercises of options to extend Leases by tenants thereunder after March 17, 2021) and New Tract Improvements (provided such New Leases and New Tract Improvements have been approved (or are deemed approved) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.3) executed or occurring after March 17, 2021).

The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
11.3    Rents.
(a)    Purchaser shall receive a credit to the Purchase Price for all prepaid Rents, if any, paid by any tenants. Rents under the Leases will be adjusted and prorated on an “if as and when collected” basis. If, on the Closing Date, there are any unpaid rents for the month of Closing or past due Rents owing by any tenant for any prior period (including, without limitation, any deferred rent scheduled to be received after Closing which relates to a period prior Closing), Rents collected by Purchaser after the Closing Date from such tenants will be applied first, to the month of the Closing; second, to amounts due Purchaser for periods following the month in which the Closing occurred; third, to amounts due Seller for the month prior to Closing; and fourth, to amounts due Seller for periods prior to the month before the Closing occurred. The party receiving such amount shall pay to the other party the portion to which it is entitled, within ten (10) days of its receipt of same.

The following shall apply to the extent Overage Rent is billed on the basis of Landlord’s estimates or an annual budget, which is subject to subsequent reconciliation and readjustment with each such tenant at the end of the applicable year:
(i)    At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2021, with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2021. Such reconciliation statement shall be based on the actual calendar year 2021 property tax bills and operating expenses. With respect to Overage Rent for the 2021 calendar year, to the extent the reconciliations indicate a net amount owed to Seller,



Purchaser shall give Seller a credit at Closing in the amount of such of net amount, and to the extent the reconciliations indicate a net amount owed to the tenants, Seller shall give Purchaser a credit in the amount of such net amount. In either case, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for collecting any such net amounts owed from tenants or returning any net amounts owed to tenants in accordance with terms of the applicable Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Closing occurs in 2022, reconciliations under this Section 11.3(b)(i) shall occur with respect to 2022 instead of 2021;
(ii)    At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a reconciliation statement for calendar year 2021 through the end of the calendar month preceding the Closing Date (or the most recent month for which a reconciliation is available if a reconciliation is not yet available for the calendar month preceding the Closing Date), with all necessary supporting documentation, as to the Overage Rent paid by the tenants for calendar year 2021. Such reconciliation statement shall be based on the actual calendar year 2020, property tax bills and the actual operating expenses for 2021 and indicate any difference between the Overage Rent paid by the tenants (based on Seller’s annual 2021 budget for real estate taxes and operating expenses) and the amount that should have been paid by the tenants through the Closing Date (based on the actual expenses covering such time period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Closing occurs in 2022, reconciliations under this Section 11.3(b)(ii) shall occur with respect to calendar year 2022 instead of calendar year 2021.;
(iii)    If the Seller has collected more on account of such Overage Rent than such actual amount for such time period (with it being acknowledged that such calculation shall be made only with respect to actually collected Overage Rent sums for such time period, and not any such sums that may be so receivable from tenants), then the amount of such difference shall be credited to Purchaser at the Closing;
(iv)    If Seller has collected less from the tenants for Overage Rents than the actual amounts for such time period, then the amount of such under-collected rents shall be paid and delivered to Seller;
(v)    Any Seller proposed prorations relating to Overage Rent shall be subject to Purchaser’s review and reasonable approval.
(c)    The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
11.4    Security Deposits. All security deposits made by any of the tenants of the Property now held by Seller, including without limitation the security deposits as shown on Exhibit B-1, or received by Seller prior to Closing, will be turned over or credited to Purchaser at the Closing. If Seller is holding any Security Deposits in the form of letters of credit, Purchaser will not receive a credit for such Security Deposits. Purchaser will indemnify and hold Seller harmless and free from any liability with respect to security deposits turned over or credited to Purchaser and such hold harmless will include any security deposits in the form of



letters of credit which are transferred to Purchaser. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to cause Security Deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit or other instrument to be transferred or re-issued to Purchaser, and, until such transfer or re-issuance, Seller shall, as Purchaser’s agent and at its request, draw on any letter of credit in accordance with the applicable Lease and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser. In the event Purchaser makes such a request, and Seller effects a draw on the letter of credit and delivers the applicable proceeds to Purchaser, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from any claims arising therefrom, including any assertion by a tenant that such draw was wrongful or a breach of the applicable lease, which indemnification shall be inclusive of reasonable attorney’s fees. Any out-of-pocket expense incurred by Seller in such cooperation shall be promptly reimbursed by Purchaser (including the costs and expenses resulting from the transfer of the security deposits that are in the form of a letter of credit). The indemnity provided by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
11.5    Existing Debt. (i) Seller shall be responsible for all principal required to be paid under the terms of each Existing Debt promissory note prior to the Cut Off Time, together with all interest accrued under, and any other amounts due and payable under, such Existing Debt prior to the Cut Off Time (excluding any Existing Debt Fees, which shall be the obligation of Purchaser), and (ii) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all principal required to be paid from and after the Cut Off Time, together with all interest accruing under, and any other amounts due and payable under, each Existing Debt from and after the Cut Off Time. Further, if the Existing Debt Assumption and Release occurs at Closing pursuant to Section 4.4, Seller shall be credited for and Purchaser shall be charged for all amounts held in reserves, impounds and other accounts maintained in connection with the Existing Debt as of the Cut Off Time, to the extent assigned to Purchaser.
11.6    Reserved.
11.7    Final Adjustment After Closing. If final bills are not available or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under this Article, then Purchaser and Seller shall re-prorate such items on a fair and equitable basis on or before the later of (x) ninety (90) days after Closing or (y) thirty (30) days after the date that Seller and Purchaser are able to determine 2021 calendar year property taxes, which proration shall be based on 100% of the assessed value; provided, however, if Purchaser elects to contest the property taxes for calendar year 2021, there shall be a final re-proration within thirty (30) days of receipt of the final 2021 calendar year property taxes. Such final re-proration shall be based on 100% of the final tax bills following the resolution of any such appeal. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller of its election to appeal the calendar year 2021 real estate taxes and shall keep Seller reasonably informed of the progress of any appeal, including the final resolution. Payments in connection with the final adjustment will be due within ten (10) business days of notice. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such adjustments in accordance with times set forth in this Section 11.7. In addition, if any error in either the calculations or amount of final figures used in a closing adjustment is discovered within sixty (60) days after Closing, Purchaser and Seller agree to correct such error promptly upon notice from the other party and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such adjustment



within such sixty (60) day period after Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, except with respect to (x) 2021 calendar year property taxes and (y) deferred rent from tenants under Leases which relates to a period prior to the Closing Date and is received by Purchaser after Closing, all other proration, reconciliation, reproration and settlement obligations of Purchaser and Seller under this Section 11.7 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. This Section 11.7 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed for the time periods set forth in this Section 11.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Closing occurs in 2022, reconciliations under this Section 11.7 shall occur with respect to calendar year 2022 instead of calendar year 2021.
11.8    Reserved.
11.9    Thirty-Day Month. All prorations and/or adjustments provided for in this Agreement will be made on the basis of a 30-day month, unless specifically stated otherwise.

If an action in the nature of specific performance is not an available remedy or if Purchaser elects to



commence such action and is unsuccessful as a result of Seller’s acts in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then the Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, and in addition, Seller shall pay to Purchaser all of the third-party costs actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with this transaction, including but not limited to, Purchaser’s attorney’s fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and conducting legal due diligence with respect to the Property, engineering fees, and other consultants and other fees charged by third parties for assisting Purchaser with Purchaser’s due diligence of the Property up to a maximum aggregate amount of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000.00), and thereafter, the parties will be released from their obligations under this Agreement (except those that expressly survive termination of this Agreement).

No waiver of any default by Purchaser or Seller under this Agreement will be implied from any omission by the other party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect a default other than as specified in such waiver. The consent or approval by Purchaser or Seller to or of any act by the other party requiring the consent or approval of the first party will not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.
15.15    Limitation of Liability. If Purchaser becomes aware after Closing of any breach and/or violation of any of Seller’s representations and/or warranties and/or Excepted Claims set forth herein or of any other matter for which Seller would or could become liable to Purchaser, whether hereunder or under any Closing document, and Purchaser timely commences any action(s) to enforce any alleged breach and/or violation of any of the representations and/or warranties of Seller, or Seller’s liability for an Excepted Claim, as set forth in this Agreement or to enforce any other claims for liability against Seller, and, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any document executed by Seller pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, in no event shall Seller be liable for any special, consequential, speculative, punitive or similar damages, nor shall Seller’s liability in any such event or events exceed one and one-half percent (1.50%) of the Purchase Price (“Seller’s Maximum Liability”) and no claim by Purchaser may be made and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim unless and until Purchaser’s claims are for an aggregate amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Claims Threshold”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concurring such claim(s) shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to Seller’s Maximum Liability. The amount of Seller’s Maximum Liability shall be inclusive of attorneys’ fees, and ancillary court and experts’ costs and fees. Purchaser agrees that, prior to making any claims against Seller, Purchaser shall, to the extent applicable, pursue any remedies it may have against the Title Company pursuant to the Title Policy. The provisions of this Section 15.15 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
15.16    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.



15.17    Successors and Assigns. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, each and all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the successors-in-interest, assigns, and representatives of the parties hereto. As used in the foregoing, “successors” refers to the successors to all or substantially all of the assets of parties hereto and to their successors by merger or consolidation.
15.18    No Partnership or Joint Venture. Seller or Purchaser will not, by virtue of this Agreement, in any way or for any reason be deemed to have become a partner of the other in the conduct of its business or otherwise, or a joint venturer. In addition, by virtue of this Agreement there shall not be deemed to have occurred a merger of any joint enterprise between Purchaser and Seller.
15.19    No Recordation. Seller and Purchaser each agrees that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum, short form agreement or notice hereof shall be recorded, and Purchaser further agrees (a) not to file any notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument (other than a judgment) against the Property or any portion thereof, and (b) to be responsible for and to indemnify Seller against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller by reason of the filing by Purchaser of any such notice of pendency, lis pendens or other instrument.
15.20    Designation Agreement. Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction. Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as defined in the Reporting Requirements). Accordingly:
(a)    Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction. Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(b)    Seller and Purchaser shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction.
(c)    Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number. Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law. Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is as set forth opposite Seller’s signature to this Agreement.



(d)    Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.
The provisions of this Section 15.20 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
15.21    Survival. Seller covenants, agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations contained in this Agreement and in any document executed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Excepted Claims (except for those set forth in Sections 13.1(d), 13.1(h), 15.2, 15.15, 15.20, and this Section 15.21 which are meant to survive indefinitely) shall survive Purchaser’s purchase of the Property only for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending six (6) months after the Closing Date or, if another period of time is specified, such other period of time (as applicable, the “Survival Period”). It is expressly agreed that any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the truth, accuracy or completeness of all representations and warranties in this Agreement or the breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any closing document, shall be commenced, if at all, on or before the end of the Survival Period and, if not commenced on or before such date, thereafter will be void and of no force or effect. The provisions of this Section 15.21 will survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed and/or termination of this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide written notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period of any alleged breach of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations and shall allow Seller thirty (30) days within which to cure such breach, or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, an additional reasonable period of time so long as a cure has been commenced and is being diligently pursued. If Seller fails to cure such breach after written notice and within such cure period, Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be an action at law for actual damages as a consequences thereof, which must be commenced, if at all, within the Survival Period; provided, however, that if within the Survival Period Purchaser gives Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller notifies Purchaser of Seller’s commencement of a cure, commences to cure and thereafter terminates such cure effort, Purchaser shall have an additional thirty (30) days from the date of such termination within which to commence an action at law for damages as a consequence of Seller’s failure to cure. The Survival Period referred to herein shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such covenants, indemnities, warranties or representations. Purchaser’s waiver(s) and release(s) set forth in Sections 1.6 and 1.7 shall apply fully to liabilities under such covenants, indemnities, representations and warranties and is hereby incorporated by this reference. Purchaser specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller. The limitation as to Seller’s liability in this Section 15.21 does not apply to Seller’s or Purchaser’s liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Article XI.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, if Seller becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of any matters which make any of its representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Purchaser in writing. In the event that Seller so discloses any matters which make any Seller’s representations and warranties so untrue in any material respect or in the event that Purchaser otherwise becomes aware during the pendency of this Agreement prior to Closing of



any matters which so make any of Seller’s representations or warranties untrue in any material respect, Seller shall bear no liability for such matters (provided that such untruth is not the result of Seller’s breach of any express covenant set forth in this Agreement), but Purchaser shall have the right to elect in writing on or before the Closing Date, (i) to waive such matters and complete the purchase of the Property without reduction of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) as to any matters disclosed following the Effective Date, to terminate this Agreement if the failure of such representations or warranties would, individually or in the aggregate, result in an adverse impact or cost on or to the Property or Purchaser which, either (x) is in excess of the Claims Threshold, or (y) is less than the Claims Threshold and Purchaser does not receive a credit toward the Purchase Price of such amount at Closing.
No claim for a breach of any of Seller’s Representations shall be actionable or payable (a) if such breach is due to or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter that was known to Purchaser or disclosed to Purchaser or its Affiliate in the Property Documents or by email, overnight delivery or otherwise available to Purchaser or its Affiliate, or in writing delivered to Purchaser or its Affiliate prior to Closing.
15.22    Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
15.23    Access to Records Following Closing. Purchaser agrees that for a period of six (6) months following Closing, Seller shall have the right during regular business hours, on five (5) days written notice to Purchaser, to examine and review at Purchaser's office (or, at Purchaser's election, at the Property), the books and records of Seller relating to the ownership and operation of the Property, which was delivered by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. Likewise, Seller agrees that for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, Purchaser shall have the right during regular business hours, on fifteen (15) days written notice to Seller, to examine and review at Seller’s office, all non-confidential or non-proprietary books, records and files, if any, retained by Seller relating to the ownership and operation by Seller prior to the Closing of the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with one another in a commercially reasonable manner in connection with any reconciliation or audit of tenant expenses, and such obligation shall survive Closing until all such matters are finally resolved.
15.24    Joint and Several. The liability of each constituent entity comprising Seller shall be joint and several with the liability of each other constituent entity comprising Seller.
15.25    Cooperation with Purchaser’s Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements. Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Purchaser’s sole expense) copies of, or shall provide Purchaser access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser, or its accountants, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its accountants (and will request its property manager as of the date of Closing to provide such information), and which is necessary to enable Purchaser (or HPI and/or its Affiliates) to file its or their Forms 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K if, as and when such filing may be required by the SEC. Purchaser hereby releases and agrees to



indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its Affiliates, agents, employees, and partners, harmless from and against any claims, liability, expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees), losses and damages arising out of Seller's cooperation hereunder or any information provided by Seller pursuant hereto; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent such liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller. The indemnity obligations of Purchaser to Seller under this Section 15.25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
15.26    Section 1031 Exchange. The parties acknowledge that the conveyance of the Property to Purchaser may be structured by Purchaser as a like-kind exchange (including a “reverse exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and federal cases interpreting this rule (an “Exchange”). Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in effecting such Exchange, provided that Purchaser shall bear all of the expenses and liabilities associated therewith, Seller shall not be subject to any liability, and provided further that Purchaser’s ability to undertake any such exchange shall not in any manner be considered a condition of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the same shall not delay the Closing. It is contemplated that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.103(k)-I(g)4(v) and/or Purchaser may cause the Property to be conveyed (i.e., “parked”) with an EAT organized by a qualified intermediary pending Purchaser’s sale of other properties owned by Purchaser (its “relinquished property”) as part of the Exchange. Accordingly, in the event of such assignment and/or “parking” arrangement, Seller shall, upon notice from Purchaser, convey the Property at Closing to the EAT or EATs organized by Purchaser’s qualified intermediary, and shall to the extent of the assignment, treat the qualified intermediary and/or EAT(s) as the valid assignee of Purchaser’s rights hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, (a) Seller shall not be required to acquire or hold legal or beneficial title to, or any other interest, in any property for purposes of consummating Purchaser’s Exchange, (b) Seller shall have the right to review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) all documents Seller is required to execute in connection with any Exchange, and (c) in the event of any Exchange, and notwithstanding that in connection with such Exchange record title to the Property may be conveyed by Seller to an accommodation entity which thereupon will later convey title to the Property to Purchaser, all covenants, agreements and indemnifications of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be made by Purchaser, shall survive any conveyance by Seller to an accommodation party, shall continue in favor of and inure to the benefit of Seller and shall be enforceable by Seller against Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement as though the Property had been conveyed directly by Seller to Purchaser and the exchange shall in no way reduce, abridge or modify any of Purchaser’s obligations or any of Seller’s rights or remedies hereunder. Seller will have no liability to Purchaser under or in connection with any Exchange, including in the event the Exchange is not consummated, or in the event Purchaser does not achieve the desired tax treatment.
15.27    Force Majeure Event.If Closing does not occur on the Closing Date because of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (as defined below) (but unless Purchaser and Seller otherwise agree in writing, no such Force Majeure Event extension shall exceed ten (10) days in the aggregate), the Closing Date shall be extended to the next business day immediately



following the cessation of the Force Majeure Event. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Force Majeure Event” means acts of God (including, but not limited to tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and/or other weather conditions or other national disasters), expropriation or confiscation of facilities by any governmental authority, compliance with any order or request of any governmental authority, strikes, lockouts, riots, or other labor troubles or a national emergency, a pandemic or epidemic, or a failure of the Automated Clearing House or similar wire transfer system utilized for the transfer of money or similar causes not within Seller’s or Purchaser’s control.
