1.Business

 

Lightstone Value Plus REIT V, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT V”) which was formerly known as Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc. before August 31, 2021, was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

 

Lightstone REIT V, together with its subsidiaries is collectively referred to as the “Company” and the use of “we,” “our,” “us” or similar pronouns refers to Lightstone REIT V or the Company as required by the context in which any such pronoun is used.

 

The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, the Company has focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. The Company has acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. The Company has purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. The Company has also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. The Company intends to hold the various real properties in which it has invested until such time as its board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve the Company’s investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. The Company currently has one operating segment. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had eight wholly owned real estate investments (multi-family apartment complexes) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan).

 

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”). As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

The Company’s business is externally managed by LSG Development Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Lightstone Group LLC (“Lightstone”) which provides advisory services to the Company and the Company has no employees. Lightstone is majority owned by the chairman emeritus of the Company’s board of directors, David Lichtenstein. Pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement and subject to the oversight of the Company’s board of directors, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of the Company’s assets.

 

Organization

 

In connection with the Company’s initial capitalization, the Company issued 22,500 shares of its common stock and 1,000 shares of its convertible stock to the Company’s previous advisor on January 19, 2007. The 1,000 shares of convertible stock were transferred to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017 and remain outstanding. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 20.1 million shares of common stock outstanding.

 

The Company’s common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for the Company’s stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions and the Company’s board of directors’ assessment of the Company’s investment objectives and liquidity options for the Company’s stockholders. Currently, the Company’s board of directors has targeted June 30, 2028 for the commencement of a liquidity event. However, the Company can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for its stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. Furthermore, the Company will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating its entire portfolio.

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Effective as of December 30, 2021, the Company wholly-owns all of its real estate investments and does not have any remaining noncontrolling interests. Prior to December 30, 2021, noncontrolling interests represented the noncontrolling ownership interest’s proportionate share of the equity in the Company’s consolidated real estate investments. Income and losses were allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based generally on their ownership percentage but in certain instances, if a property reached a defined return threshold, then it may have resulted in distributions to noncontrolling interests which were different from the standard pro-rata allocation percentage. Additionally, in certain instances, the joint venture agreements may have provided for liquidating distributions based on achieving certain return metrics.

 

Acquisitions of Noncontrolling Members’ Ownership Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Investments

 

On March 17, 2021, the Company acquired the noncontrolling member’s 7.5% ownership interest in the Lakes of Margate for $1.1 million and as a result, owned 100% of the Lakes of Margate, which was subsequently sold (see Note 5).

 

On December 20, 2021, the Company acquired the noncontrolling member’s 15.0% membership interest in the River Club Properties for $10.2 million and as a result, owned 100% of the River Club Properties, which were subsequently sold (see Note 5).

 

On December 30, 2021, the Company acquired the noncontrolling member’s 10.0% ownership interest in Parkside for $3.6 million and recorded the $3.7 million difference between the contractual purchase price and the carrying value of the noncontrolling member’s interest to additional paid in capital. As a result, the Company now owns 100% of Parkside.

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2022. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus REIT V, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.’

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable GAAP, and entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling interest or entities which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, it accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

Earnings per Share

 

The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

 

Restricted cash

 

As required by the Company’s lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, and other reserves for certain of our consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions, major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves. Restricted cash may also include certain funds temporarily placed in escrow with qualified intermediaries to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Interest Rate Cap Contracts

 

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce interest rate risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in fair value of those instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. If the Company qualifies as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income or capital gain that it distributes to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at the regular corporate rate, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders.

 

During 2015, the Company recorded an aggregate provision for income tax of $2.7 million representing estimated foreign income tax due as a result of the sale of two foreign investments, Alte Jakobstraße and Holstenplatz. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.8 million representing a partial refund of the foreign income tax paid.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and it remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots. Accordingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s consolidated portfolio of properties consisted of eight multi-family apartment complexes, all of which are located in the U.S. Its multi-family properties have not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and their occupancy levels, rental rates and rental collections have remained stable since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company’s note receivable (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan”) is collateralized by a substantially completed 10-unit condominium development project located in New York City (the “Condominium Project”), which is subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, both the Condominium Project and the Company’s 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan have not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Company continues to closely monitor the overall extent as to which its business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which will largely depend on current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

 

If the Company’s properties and its real estate-related investments are negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in future periods for an extended period because (i) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (ii) leasing demand falls causing declines in occupancy levels and/or rental rates, and (iii) the borrower is unable to pay scheduled debt service on the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan; the Company’s business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

 

3.Note Receivable

 

500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan

 

On February 28, 2019, the Company, as the lender, and an unrelated third party (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower”), as the borrower, entered into the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, a loan promissory note, pursuant to which the Company funded $12.0 million of mezzanine financing. On the same date, the Company initially funded $8.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and subsequently, through a series of draws, the remaining $4.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan was fully funded by the end of the first quarter of 2020.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan provides for monthly interest-only payments at a rate of 8% with the additional interest above the 8% threshold added to the outstanding principal balance and due at maturity.

 

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower has developed and constructed the Condominium Project located at 500 West 22nd Street, New York, New York, which is substantially complete. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower repaid $8.8 million (of which $7.2 million was paid in the second quarter) of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan with proceeds from the sale of condominium units.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the remaining outstanding principal balance of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan was $5.4 million, including $2.3 million of additional interest due at maturity.

4.Financial Instruments

 

The Company determined the following disclosure of estimated fair values using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or only estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, note receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities.

 

The fair value of the notes payable is categorized as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the estimated borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the notes payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Carrying amounts of our notes payable and the related estimated fair value is summarized as follows:

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has entered into two interest rate cap contracts with unrelated financial institutions in order to reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations or risk of certain real estate investment’s interest expense on its variable rate debt. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments. Management believes the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal.

 

The Company is accounting for the interest rate cap contracts as economic hedges, marking these contracts to market, taking into account present interest rates compared to the contracted fixed rate over the life of the contract and recording the unrealized gain or loss on the interest rate cap contracts in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations representing the change in the fair value of these economic hedges during such periods.

 

The interest rate cap contracts have notional amounts of $52.2 million and $49.0 million, respectively, mature on July 15, 2023 and October 11, 2023, respectively, and effectively cap LIBOR at 2.50% and 2.00%, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the interest rate cap contracts was $1.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 7 for additional information.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  ● Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  ● Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
  ● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The fair value of the Company’s investments in debt securities are measured using quoted prices for these investments; however, the markets for these assets are not active. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts are measured using other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s debt securities and interest rate cap contracts were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

8.Stockholders’ Equity

 

Share Redemption Program and Redemption Price

 

The Company’s board of directors has adopted a share redemption program (the “SRP”) that permits stockholders to sell their shares back to it, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. The Company’s board of directors can amend the provisions of the SRP at any time without the approval of the stockholders.

 

On December 13, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the suspension of the SRP. Pursuant to the terms of the SRP, while the SRP is suspended, the Company will not accept any requests for redemption.

 

Effective March 25, 2021, the Company’s board of directors reopened the SRP solely for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death and set the price for all such purchases to $9.42, which was 100% of the estimated NAV per Share as of September 30, 2020. Deaths that occurred subsequent to January 1, 2020 are eligible for consideration. Beginning January 1, 2022, requests for redemptions in connection with a stockholder’s death must be submitted and received by the Company within one year of the stockholder’s date of death for consideration.

 

On an annual basis, the Company will not redeem in excess of 0.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the preceding year. Death redemption requests are expected to be processed on a quarterly basis and may be subject to pro ration if death redemption requests exceed the annual limitation.

 

The Company’s board of directors will continue to consider the liquidity available to stockholders going forward, balanced with other long-term interests of the stockholders and the Company. It is possible that in the future additional liquidity will be made available by the Company through the SRP, issuer tender offers or other methods, though it can make no assurances as to whether that will happen, or the timing or terms of any such liquidity.

 

In accordance with the Company’s SRP, the per share redemption price automatically adjusted to $12.91 effective November 11, 2021 as a result of the determination and approval by the Company’s board of directors of the updated estimated NAV per Share.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company repurchased 44,275 shares of common stock, pursuant to its SRP at an average price per share of $12.91 per share.

 

Distributions

 

The Company made an election to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2008. U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, the Company may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors based on their analysis of the Company’s performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. Such analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for the Company’s portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales, and other factors that the Company’s board of directors deems relevant.

 

The Company’s board of directors’ decision will be substantially influenced by their obligation to ensure that the Company maintains its federal tax status as a REIT. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

 

The Company did not make any distributions to its stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Executive Overview

 

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who were distressed or faced time-sensitive deadlines. In addition, our opportunistic and value-add investment strategy has included investments in real estate-related assets that present opportunities for higher current income. Since inception, we have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties and newly constructed properties. We have also invested in mortgage and mezzanine loans. We have made our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the United States and other countries based on our view of existing market conditions. As of June 30, 2022, our investments included eight wholly owned multi-family apartment complexes and a note receivable (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan”). All of our current investments are located in the U.S. We currently intend to hold our various real properties until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met.

 

Current Environment

 

Our operating results are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, loss of key relationships, competition, inflation and recession.

COVID-19 Pandemic 

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and it remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots. Accordingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future. 

 

As of June 30, 2022, our consolidated portfolio of properties consisted of eight wholly owned multi-family apartment complexes, all of which are located in the U.S. Our multi-family properties have not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and their occupancy levels, rental rates and rental collection have remained stable since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan is collateralized by a condominium development project located in New York City (the “Condominium Project”), which is subject to risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, both the Condominium Project and our 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan have not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

We continue to closely monitor the overall extent as to which our business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted. 

 

If our properties and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in future periods for an extended period because (i) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (ii) leasing demand falls causing declines in occupancy levels and/or rental rates, and (iii) the borrower is unable to pay scheduled debt service on the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan; our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $59.4 million, marketable securities, available for sale of $3.4 million and restricted cash of $4.7 million as of June 30, 2022. Our principal demands for funds going forward are expected to be for the payment of (a) operating expenses, including capital expenditures, and (b) scheduled debt service on our outstanding indebtedness. We also may, at our discretion, use funds for (a) tender offers and/or redemptions of shares of our common stock, (b) distributions, if any, to our shareholders, and (c) selective acquisitions and/or real estate-related investments. Generally, we expect to meet our cash needs with our cash and cash equivalents on hand along with our cash flow from operations, the release of certain funds held in restricted cash, the remaining availability on certain of our mortgage loans and the repayment of our outstanding note receivable. However, to the extent that these sources are not sufficient to cover our cash needs, we may also use proceeds from additional borrowings and/or selective asset sales to fund such needs.

 

We have borrowed money to acquire properties and make other investments. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness is limited to 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. In addition to our charter limitation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to generally limit our aggregate borrowings to 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets.

Disposition of the Lakes of Margate

 

On March 17, 2021, we completed the disposition of a 280-unit multifamily property located in Margate, Florida (the “Lakes of Margate”) for a contractual sales price of $50.8 million to an unrelated third party.

(1)Effective monthly rent is calculated as in-place contracted monthly rental revenue, including any premiums due for short-term or month-to-month leases, less any concessions or discounts.
(2)The BayVue Apartments were acquired on July 7, 2021.
(3)The Citadel Apartments were acquired on October 6, 2021.

 

On July 7, 2021 we acquired the BayVue Apartments and on October 6, 2021 we acquired the Citadel Apartments (collectively, the “2021 Acquisitions”). On March 17, 2021 we disposed of the Lakes of Margate and on December 22, 2021 we disposed of the River Club Properties (collectively, the “2021 Dispositions”).

 

The 2021 Dispositions did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since they did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of the 2021 Dispositions are reflected in our results from continuing operations for all periods presented through their dates of disposition.

For purposes of calculating future interest amounts on variable interest rate debt the one-month LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2022 was used.

 

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. 

 

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 

 

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, 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 write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition. 

 

We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management and reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

 

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, published a standardized measure of performance known as modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP. 

 

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses (which includes costs incurred in connection with strategic alternatives), amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of market lease and other intangibles, net (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments and borrowings, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (including gains or losses incurred on assets held for sale), gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. 

 

We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs. 

 

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO. 

 

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guidelines or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry, and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

1)The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Such fees and expenses are paid in cash, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. Such fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are being acquired. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be paid or reimbursed, as applicable, to our advisor even if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses would need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.

2)Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable equity securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.
3)Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.
4)Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

 

Distributions

 

We made an election to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions, if any, are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on their analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. Such analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of directors’ decisions will be substantially influenced by their obligation to ensure that we maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment. These estimates include such items as impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly from the discussion found in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of June 30, 2022, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) using the criteria established in Internal Control-New Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of June 30, 2022, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes.

 

As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, we have not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

 

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions and our board of directors’ assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. Currently, our board of directors has targeted June 30, 2028 for the commencement of a liquidity event. However, we can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or our ultimate liquidation. Furthermore, we will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.

Any such audit shall be conducted: (i) by an independent certified public accounting firm designated by the Company (the “Auditor”); (ii) during regular business hours; and (iii) in such a manner so as not to interfere with the Advisor’s regular business activities. The Company shall bear the costs of the audit unless the audit conclusively reveals an overpayment of Advisor Payments in an amount greater than 10% of the total amount of Advisor Payments owed for the period being inspected, in which case the Advisor shall bear the costs of the audit. If the audit conclusively reveals an overpayment or underpayment of Advisor Payments, the Company or the Advisor shall promptly pay to the other party the amount of the overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be, without interest. Any underpayment or overpayment under this Agreement shall not be a breach of this Agreement unless and until an audit performed in accordance with this Section 3.05 is completed and the party who may be obligated to make a payment hereunder as a result of such audit shall have failed to promptly make any required payment.

(a) The Advisor assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith to the best of its abilities and shall not be responsible for any action or inaction of the Board or the Company in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendations of the Advisor. The Advisor and its Affiliates, and the directors, officers, employees, partners, members, stockholders, other equity holders, agents and representatives of the Advisor and its Affiliates (each, an “Advisor Indemnified Party”), will not be liable to the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, the Board, the stockholders of the Company or of any of the Company’s subsidiaries, partners or members or any other Person for any acts or omissions by any Advisor Indemnified Party performed in accordance with and pursuant to this Agreement, except by reason of any act or omission constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties under this Agreement on the part of such Advisor Indemnified Party. The Company shall, to the full extent lawful, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless each Advisor Indemnified Party, of and from any and all expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, taxes, demands, charges and claims of any nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), in respect of or arising from (i) any acts or omissions of such Advisor Indemnified Party performed under this Agreement and not constituting bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties on the part of such Advisor Indemnified Party under this Agreement and (ii) any matter, act or omission occurring prior to the date of this Agreement relating to, in connection with, or in respect of, the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective businesses, assets or properties (including any claim or litigation asserted or instigated by a third party); provided, however, that to the extent that an Advisor Indemnified Party recovers insurance proceeds with respect to any matter for which the Advisor Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, then the amount payable to such Advisor Indemnified Party under this Section 5.01 in respect of such matter shall be reduced by the amount of such recovered insurance proceeds. In addition, the Company shall advance funds to an Advisor Indemnified Party for reasonable legal fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of any claim, suit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought; provided, however, that such Advisor Indemnified Party undertakes to repay such advanced funds to the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, in cases in which such Advisor Indemnified Party is found pursuant to a final and non-appealable order or judgment to not be entitled to indemnification.

(b) The indemnity provided for pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall extend, without limitation, to any claims to the extent relating to any of the events or outcomes set forth in the Prospectus or in any other filing made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission as possible results, outcomes or risks associated with the business and investment objectives of the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.01, the Advisor shall not be entitled to indemnification or be held harmless pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any activity with respect to which the Advisor shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the Company pursuant to Section 5.02.

 

5.02. Indemnification by Advisor. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that the liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, misfeasance, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement, but the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any action or inaction of the Board of the Company in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the Advisor.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.01. Assignment to an Affiliate. This Agreement and any rights, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder and the fees and compensation related thereto may be assigned by the Advisor, in whole or in part, to a duly qualified and (if required to be) licensed Affiliate of the Advisor without obtaining the approval of the Board. Any other assignment shall be made only with the approval of a majority of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this Agreement without obtaining the approval of the Board. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor, except in the case of an assignment by the Company to a corporation or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations of the Company, in which case the successor organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company is bound by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on successors to the Company resulting from a Change of Control or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Operating Partnership, and shall likewise be binding upon any successor to the Advisor.

 

6.02. Relationship of Advisor and Company. The Company and the Advisor are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any liability as such on either of them.

Any party may change its address specified above by giving each party Notice of such change in accordance with this Section 6.03. Any Notice shall be deemed given upon actual receipt (or refusal of receipt).

6.05. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of and severable from each other, and no provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, and any action brought to enforce the agreements made hereunder or any action which arises out of the relationship created hereunder shall be brought exclusively in any of the federal or state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City.

6.07. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. The express terms of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.

 

6.08. Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of the right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted to have granted the waiver.

 

6.09. Gender; Number. Words used herein regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires.

 

6.10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed with counterpart signatures or in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Management Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

 

6.11. Ownership of Proprietary Property. The Advisor and its Affiliates have or may have a proprietary interest in the name “Lightstone.” The Advisor hereby grants to the Company, to the extent of any proprietary interest the Advisor may have in the name “Lightstone,” a non-transferable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “Lightstone” during the term of this Agreement. The Company agrees that the Advisor and its Affiliates will have the right to approve any use by the Company of the name “Lightstone,” such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Accordingly, and in recognition of this right, if at any time the Company ceases to retain the Advisor or one of its Affiliates to perform advisory services for the Company, the Company will, promptly after receipt of a written request from the Advisor, cease to conduct business under or use the name “Lightstone” or any derivative thereof and the Company shall change its name and the names of any of its subsidiaries to a name that does not contain the name “Lightstone” or any other word or words that might, in the reasonable discretion of the Advisor, be susceptible of indication of some form of relationship between the Company and the Advisor or any its Affiliates. At such time, the Company also will make any changes to any trademarks, service marks or other marks necessary to remove any references to the word “Lightstone.” Consistent with the foregoing, it is specifically recognized that the Advisor or one or more of its Affiliates has in the past and may in the future organize, sponsor or otherwise permit to exist other investment vehicles (including vehicles for investment in real estate) and financial and service organizations having the name “Lightstone” as a part of their name, all without the need for any consent (and without the right to object thereto) by the Company. Neither the Advisor nor any of its Affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the name “Lightstone” licensed hereunder or the use thereof (including, without limitation, as to whether the use of the name “Lightstone” will be free from infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Advisor represents and warrants that it is not aware of any pending claims or litigation or of any claims threatened in writing regarding the use or ownership of the name “Lightstone.”

6.12. Non-Solicitation. During the period commencing on the effective date of this Agreement and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall, without the Advisor’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other service of the Advisor or its affiliates or (b) hire, on behalf of the Company or any other person or entity, any person who has within the prior year left his or her employment with the Advisor or its affiliates. During the period commencing on the effective date of this Agreement and ending one year following the termination of this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership shall, whether for its own account or for the account of any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization, intentionally interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away from the Advisor or its affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during the preceding one-year period was, a customer of the Advisor or its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.12 shall be waived and shall not apply in the following circumstances:

 

(a) (i) the Advisor files for a voluntary petition under Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §101, et seq., as amended from time to time, or any successor statute or statutes (the “Bankruptcy Code”) Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency law; or (ii) an involuntary petition is filed against the Advisor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy, receivership or insolvency law, and such petition or proceeding has not been dismissed or terminated within 60 days of such filing; or

 

(b) in the event the Advisor either (i) terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement because Advisor is no longer in the business of providing real estate asset management services or (B) materially breaches its obligations to provide the services set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement (other than with respect to providing services with respect to acquisitions or prospective acquisitions), and such material breach continues uncured for 15 business days after the date the Company has given the Advisor written notice of such material breach pursuant to Section 6.03.

 

6.13. Rules of Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement. The recitals constitute an integral part of this Agreement and hereby are incorporated by reference in this Section 6.13. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” “including” or “such as” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “but not limited to” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import.
