Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth under Items 2.01 and 2.03 below is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On August 23, 2024, Generation Income Properties, L.P., the operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), completed the acquisition of a 30,465 square-foot, single-tenant retail property in Ames, Iowa (the “Ames Property”). The acquisition was made by GIPIA 1220 S Duff Avenue, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and single-purpose subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that was formed for the purpose of effecting the acquisition (the “Iowa SPE”). The Operating Partnership, through the Iowa SPE, purchased the Property pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated June 13, 2024, between the Operating Partnership and Duff Daniels, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company, Westbrook Daniels, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company, and Westbrook Wolf, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (collectively, the “Seller”), at a purchase price of approximately $5.5 million, excluding transaction costs (as amended, the “Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Purchase and Sale Agreement, effective as of August 23, 2024 (the “Ames Assignment Agreement”), the Operating Partnership assigned, and the Iowa SPE assumed, all of the Operating Partnership’s right, title and interest in and under the Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement, giving the Iowa SPE the right to acquire the Ames Property pursuant to the Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Seller is not an affiliate of the Company or the Operating Partnership. The purchase price of the Ames Property and related transaction costs were funded using preferred equity of the Iowa SPE of approximately $3,080,000 purchased by JCWC Funding, LLC, a third-party investor (“JCWC”), and approximately $2,495,000 of debt financing from Valley National Bank (“Valley”), as discussed below.

The Ames Property is 100% leased to Best Buy Stores, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership, pursuant to a triple net lease agreement, dated December 20, 2004 (as amended, the “Ames Lease”). The term of the Ames Lease commenced on December 20, 2004, and originally ended on December 19, 2019. The first extended lease term of the Ames Lease commenced on December 19, 2019, and ends on March 31, 2025. The second extended lease term of the Ames Lease commences on April 1, 2025, and ends on March 31, 2030, with two options to renew for a five-year term. Under the Ames Lease, Best Buy Stores, L.P. is responsible for operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance and capital expenditures, in addition to base rent. In connection with the acquisition of the Ames Property, the Iowa SPE entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Lease, Security Deposit and Guaranty (“Assignment and Assumption of Ames Lease”) with the Seller, dated August 23, 2024, pursuant to which the Seller assigned, and the Iowa SPE assumed, all of the Seller’s rights and obligations under the Ames Lease.

In connection with the preferred equity investment in the Ames SPE by JCWC, on August 23, 2024, the Operating Partnership and JCWC entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for the Iowa SPE (the “GIPIA Operating Agreement”). Under the GIPIA Operating Agreement, JCWC made a $3.08 million capital contribution to GIPLP in exchange for a preferred equity interest in GIPIA (the “Preferred Interest”). The Preferred Interest has a cumulative accruing distribution preference of 8% per year, compounded monthly (the “Preferred Return”), a portion of which in the amount of 6.5% per annum (compounded monthly) is deemed to be the “Current Preferred Return”, and the remainder of which in the amount of 1.5% per annum (compounded monthly) is

1

 


 

deemed to be the “Accrued Preferred Return.” The GIPIA Operating Agreement provides that operating distributions by GIPIA will be made first to JCWC to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Current Preferred Return, with the balance being paid to the Operating Partnership. The GIPIA Operating Agreement also provides that distributions from capital transactions will be paid first to JCWC to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return (comprised of both the Current Preferred Return and Accrued Preferred Return), and then to the GIP Operating Partnership.

The foregoing descriptions of the Ames Purchase and Sale Agreement, Ames Assignment Agreement, Assignment and Assumption of Ames Lease, and GIPIA Operating Agreement are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such documents, each of which is attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The above description of the Ames lease is summary in nature and qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Ames Lease, a copy of which will be filed with (or before) the Company’s next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

Loan Agreement and Note with Valley National Bank

On August 23, 2024, the Iowa SPE entered into a Loan Agreement with Valley (the “Valley Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Valley made a loan to the Iowa SPE in the amount of $2.495 million (the “Valley Loan”) to finance the acquisition of the Ames Property. Pursuant to the Valley Loan Agreement, the Iowa SPE executed and delivered to Valley a Promissory Note, dated August 23, 2024, in the original principal amount of $2.495 million (the “Note”).

The outstanding principal amount of the Valley Loan bears interest at an annual rate for each 30-day interest period equal to the compounded average of the secured overnight financing rate published by Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the thirty-day period prior to the last day of each 30-day interest rate for the applicable interest rate period plus 2.50%, with interest payable monthly after each 30-day interest period. However, Iowa SPE has entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate at 6.29% per annum. Payments of interest only are due and payable monthly for the first twelve months and then payments of interest and principal in the amount of approximately $16,641 are due and payable monthly thereafter, with all remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on a maturity date of August 23, 2029. The Valley Loan is secured by a first mortgage and assignment of rents in the Ames Property and is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.

The Valley Loan Agreement requires the Iowa SPE to maintain a minimum debt-service coverage ratio 1.50:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis, tested as of December 31, 2024 and annually thereafter. The Valley Loan Agreement provides for customary events of default and other customary affirmative and negative covenants that are applicable to the Iowa SPE and its subsidiaries, including reporting covenants and restrictions on investments, additional indebtedness, liens, sales of properties, certain mergers, and certain management changes.

The foregoing description of the Valley Loan Agreement and Valley Note is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Valley Loan Agreement and Valley Note, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Second Note and Loan Modification with Bayport Credit Union

 

On August 23, 2024, GIPVA 130 Corporate Blvd, LLC ("Corporate SPE") entered into a Second Note and Loan Modification Agreement with Bayport Credit Union (the "Loan Modification Agreement") to amend and extend the loan currently secured by the Companys Norfolk, VA office building at 130 Corporate Blvd. Pursuant to the Loan Modification Agreement the Corporate SPE delivered to Bayport Credit Union a Third Allonge to Promissory Note, dated August 23, 2024, and made part of, the Promissory Note, dated October 23, 2017, in the original principal amount of $5.2 million.

 

The Loan Modification Agreement extends the current debt maturity date to August 23, 2029 and bears an interest rate of 6.15% per annum. Payments of interest and principal in the amount of approximately $32,268.70 are

2

 


 

due and payable monthly thereafter beginning on September 23, 2024, with all remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on the maturity date of August 23, 2029.

 

The foregoing description of the Loan Modification Agreement and Third Allonge to Promissory Note is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Modification Agreement and Third Allonge to Promissory Note, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The issuance of the Preferred Interests by the Iowa SPE to JCWC was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offer and sale of the Preferred Interests did not and does not involve a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, was made without any form of general solicitation to a sophisticated party, and was made with full access to any information requested regarding the Iowa SPE.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with David Sobelman

On August 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Amended Employment Agreement”) with David Sobelman, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Amended Employment Agreement, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 26, 2024 (the “Board”), amends and restates in its entirety the First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated June 23, 2022, previously entered into between the Company and Mr. Sobelman.

The Amended Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Sobelman will continue to receive a base salary of $200,000 per year, provided that the annual base salary will increase to (i) $300,000 upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving $115 million or greater in gross asset value of real estate assets owned, (ii) $400,000 upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving $150 million or greater in gross asset value of real estate assets owned, and (iii) $600,000 upon the Company and its subsidiaries achieving $500 million or greater in gross asset value of real estate assets owned. The base salary may be increased, but not decreased, in the discretion of the Board. The Amended Employment Agreement further provides that Mr. Sobelman will receive an annual nondiscretionary bonus on the first trading day of each December during the term of employment in the amount of 35% of his base salary then in effect. In addition, Mr. Sobelman will be entitled to receive, upon approval of the board, a discretionary annual performance-based bonus with a bonus target amount of 200% (and a bonus opportunity of up to 300%) of his then- current salary based on the Company materially meeting the Board-approved budget for the immediately preceding fiscal year.

In addition to the base salary and the foregoing bonuses, the Amended Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Sobelman will be paid $7,500 a year to be used solely to cover the actual cost to Mr. Sobelman of obtaining a death and disability insurance policy on his life for and for related costs and expenses. He will also be entitled to a guarantee fee for Company obligations that are personally guaranteed by Mr. Sobelman (but only if the personal guaranty is approved by the Board), with the amount of the guarantee fee being 1% of the guaranteed amount for a full guarantee and 0.5% for a non-recourse or fraud exception guarantee (with the guarantee fee increased to 10% on the 60th day following a termination without “cause” or termination for “good reason”, as those terms are defined in the agreement, unless the guarantee is removed during such 60-day period). Mr. Sobelman is also eligible to receive such medical, health, vacation, and other benefits as are provided by the Company and its subsidiaries generally, and Mr. Sobelman will be eligible to participate in any 401(k) plan that the Company or its related entities may adopt in the future.

The Amended Employment Agreement provides that, on the first trading date of December of each year during the term of Mr. Sobelman’s employment, Mr. Sobelman will receive an annual grant of fully vested stock

3

 


 

under the Generation Income Properties, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan for a number of shares equal to Executive’s base salary as then in effect divided by the higher of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date or $10.00 per share.

Under the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Sobelman is subject to non-solicitation and non-competition covenants that expire one year following termination of employment and to customary confidentiality obligations.

The term of Mr. Sobelman’s employment under the Amended Employment Agreement will continue until terminated by either the Company or Mr. Sobelman at any time, whether or not for cause, upon 60-days notice to the other party or until Mr. Sobelman’s death or disability. The Amended Employment Agreement may also be terminated by the Company for “cause” (as defined in the agreement) or by Mr. Sobelman for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement). “Good reason” includes certain changes in Mr. Sobelman’s responsibilities or duties without his consent, reductions in compensation or a material reduction in benefits, a material breach by the Company of the Amended Employment Agreement that remains uncured following notice of the breach, or a material relocation of his principal place of employment without his consent.

In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Sobelman’s employment without cause or Mr. Sobelman resigns for good reason, the Amended Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Sobelman will be entitled to receive severance compensation equal to two times (or three times if the termination occurs within 12 months of a “change in control”, as defined in the agreement) the sum of his then-current base salary plus his average bonus for the preceding three years. For this purpose, Mr. Sobelman’s then-current base salary shall be deemed to be equal to what his base salary would have then been if the properties included in the Company’s acquisition pipeline (as approved from time to time by the chair of the Board Compensation Committee) had been acquired prior to employment termination. In addition, in such event, Mr. Sobelman will be entitled to additional separation compensation in an amount equal to the premium payments for continuing healthcare coverage for Mr. Sobelman and his family for a period of 18 months. The foregoing severance compensation, if due, will be paid in 18 equal monthly installments. In addition, upon a termination without cause or for good reason, any unvested equity awards (if any) held by Mr. Sobelman will immediately vest.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Amended Employment Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Compensation for all services performed by Executive as described herein will be paid Generation Income Properties, L.P. For purposes hereof, the term “REIT Group” refers to REIT and the Related Entities collectively.

 

(b)
Compensation.

(v)

31131106v1


 

 

(viii)
Clawback Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, any bonus (if any) paid to the Executive will be subject to such potential clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to applicable federal or state law or applicable stock exchange listing requirements governing potential clawback of Executive compensation upon a determination by legal counsel to REIT that clawback is required by federal or state law or applicable stock exchange listing requirements

 

(c)
Term of Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the term of Executive’s employment by REIT shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 2 herein. The parties acknowledge, subject to the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement, that Executive’s employment with the REIT Group is on an at-will basis, and either REIT Group or Executive may therefore terminate the Executive’s employment, with or without cause, at any time and for any reason upon the terms and conditions specified in Section 3 below.

 

(d)
Guarantee and Guarantee Fee. For any guarantee for which Executive is personally the guarantor, then upon separation of employment, Executive shall immediately be removed from such guarantee or, if that cannot be effectuated, then the REIT will use commercially reasonable efforts to retire or refinance the debt within thirty (30) days of Executive’s separation. So long as Executive remains on the guarantee, Executive shall receive an annual guarantee fee of one percent (1%) of the amount of the guaranteed indebtedness for a full guarantee and a half percent (0.5%) for any non-recourse/fraud exception guarantee (“Guarantee Fee”). Only in the event of a termination of Executive’s employment by the REIT without Cause pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv) below or by the Executive pursuant to a Good Reason Resignation (as defined below), if the REIT is unable to retire or refinance the debt within sixty (60) days of Executive’s separation, the annual guarantee fee for any debt subject to guarantee by Executive shall increase to ten percent (10%) of the guaranteed indebtedness from and after such 60-day period. The Guarantee Fee will be paid in arrears and prorated for any portion of any calendar in which Executive makes the guarantee. The Guarantee Fee is to be paid in four (4) equal installments, to be paid by the last payroll period of the first month of each quarter (e.g., January 31, April 30, July 31, October 31) in accordance with the REIT Group’s customary payroll procedures. The Guarantee Fee will be paid only on guarantees by Executive that are approved by the Board. In the event of a Change in Control, the entire amount of the Guarantee Fee shall become immediately due and owing and shall be paid by the REIT on or before the date of the Change in Control.

16482164v1 3

31131106v1


 

(v)
The effective date of a termination based on a notice sent to REIT from Executive stating that the Executive is resigning, which notice must be given by Executive to REIT at least sixty (60) days in advance of the intended date of termination (a “Resignation”), provided that if the Resignation is a Good Reason Resignation, then Executive shall follow the procedures described in Section 3(c)(v) below.

 

(b)
Effect of Termination.

 

(i)
In the event of Termination Upon Death or Termination For Disability:

 

(A)
Executive (or Executive’s legal representative) shall be entitled to receive wages in an amount equal to any earned but unpaid Base Salary owing by REIT to Executive as of the termination date (the “Accrued Salary”); and

 

(B)
Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any unpaid Performance Bonus Target for any completed fiscal year plus a prorated portion of the Performance Bonus Target for the fiscal year of termination (“Accrued Bonus”).

 

(ii)
Termination For Cause or Resignation. In the event of a Termination For Cause or a Resignation (other than a Good Reason Resignation), Executive shall be entitled to receive only an amount equal to any Accrued Salary.

 

(iii)
In the event of Termination Without Cause or a Good Reason Resignation:

 

(A)
Executive (or Executive’s legal representative) shall be entitled to receive Accrued Salary through the sixty (60) days after Employer gives Executive advance notice of the intended date of termination;

In the event of a Termination Without Cause or a Good Reason Resignation during a Change in Control Period, the Executive’s Base Salary shall solely for purposes of this paragraph (C) be deemed to be an amount equal to what Executive’s Base Salary would have been on the date of termination if all Pipeline Properties (as defined below) were acquired by the REIT Group on the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the termination date for a purchase price equal to the Indicated Purchase Price (as defined below). The term “Pipeline Property” means any property that was in the REIT Group’s formal Compensation Committee Chairperson-approved acquisition pipeline (“Acquisition Pipeline”) as of the of termination of Executive’s employment and for which one of the following conditions existed as of such date: (i) the REIT Group had, as of the date of Executive’s termination, entered into a letter of intent, mutual term sheet, purchase agreement with respect to such property executed by the seller of the property, or the property was entered into the Approved Pipeline, and such letter of intent, mutual terms sheet, or purchase agreement did not terminate or expire, nor was such property removed from the Approved Pipeline, prior to Executive’s termination, or (ii) the Compensation Committee of the Board (as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control) otherwise determines that closing of the acquisition of such property is reasonably likely to occur. The term “Approved Pipeline” shall mean any property provided by Executive to the REIT’s Compensation Committee Chairperson via email by the fifth day of each month for review and approval, and which shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee Chairperson within three (3) business days thereof. Any disputes relating to the approval of any property as part of the Approved Pipeline must be resolved between Executive and the REIT’s Compensation Committee Chairperson no later than 10 days following Executive’s written notice

16482164v1 4

31131106v1


 

via email to the REIT’s Compensation Committee Chairperson as to any proposed property. For the avoidance of doubt, failure on behalf of the REIT’s Compensation Committee Chairperson to respond to such notice within the time period prescribed herein shall serve as approval of such property as part of the Approved Pipeline. The term “Indicated Purchase Price” means, in the case of clause “(i)” of the preceding sentence, the proposed good faith purchase price set forth in the Approved Pipeline, letter of intent, mutual term sheet, or purchase agreement, or, in the case of clause “(ii)” of the preceding sentence, the likely acquisition price as determined by the Company and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board (as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control);

 

(D)

(E)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any REIT equity plan or award agreement, all unvested stock options, restricted stock awards, or other equity awards then held by Executive shall immediately vest as of the date of termination and thereafter be exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such awards.

 

(c)
Additional Provisions.

 

(i)
Subject to the provisions in the following paragraph, any amounts to be paid pursuant to this Section 3 shall be paid in accordance with REIT’s existing payroll or bonus payment practices, as applicable, subject to applicable taxes and withholdings.

 

(ii)
The Separation Compensation (if payable), including the Benefits Payments, will be paid according to REIT’s normal payroll cycle in eighteen (18) equal monthly installments (“Separation Payments”) beginning with the first payroll which occurs at least seven (7) days after REIT’s receipt of a fully executed Release (as defined below) and ending upon the final payment of the Severance Compensation. Separation Payments and Accrued Bonus shall be subject to tax withholdings and other required withholdings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive any Separation Compensation, Separation Payments or Accrued Bonus pursuant to this Agreement is conditioned upon the Executive signing (and not revoking), by the twenty-first (21st) day after the Executive’s last day of employment, a general release of claims (except those rights arising under this Agreement) in substantially the form provided by attached as “Exhibit A” (the “Release”).

 

(iii)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations and commitments under Section 5 of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

(iv)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, REIT shall have no obligation to pay any amounts payable under Section 3(b)(iii)(C) of this Agreement during such times as it is determined by a court of law that Executive is in breach of Section 5 of this Agreement, after REIT provides Executive with notice of such breach.

 

(v)
Executive shall have the right to resign his employment for “Good Reason” if: (A) there is a material adverse change or material diminution in Executive’s duties, responsibilities, functions, reporting lines, or title with REIT, including if Executive ceases to be the principal executive officer of the REIT and/or ceases to report directly to a board of directors comprised of a majority of directors that are “independent” within the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, (B) there is a material reduction in the compensation or benefits payable to Executive hereunder, (C) there is a material breach of the provisions of this Agreement or (D) without Executive’s

16482164v1 5

31131106v1


 

consent, Executive’s principal place of employment is relocated to a place outside of a 50 mile radius from the location of the REIT’s offices in Tampa, Florida. Executive cannot terminate his employment for Good Reason unless he has provided written notice to the REIT of the existence of the circumstances providing grounds for termination for Good Reason within fifteen (15) days of the initial existence of such grounds and if curable, REIT has had at least thirty (30) days from the date on which such notice is provided to cure such circumstances (and has failed to cure such circumstances within such period). If not curable, or if REIT has not, within such thirty (30) day period, cured the circumstances providing ground for termination for Good Reason and Executive does not terminate his employment for Good Reason within ten (10) days after the expiration of REIT’s cure period in the preceding sentence, Executive will be deemed to have waived his right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such grounds. The Executive acknowledges that the Board has flexibility under Section 2(a) to reasonably assign Executive a broad range of responsibilities and duties that are consistent with his duties as President and Chief Executive Officer and to make changes in the Executive’s responsibilities in a manner that is materially consistent with the duties described under Section 2(a), and such assignments and change will not constitute “Good Reason.” A Resignation that is effected in accordance with this paragraph is referred to as a “Good Reason Resignation.”

 

(vi)
Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions held with REIT and its Related Entities, including, without limitation, any position as an officer, agent, trustee, or consultant of REIT or any Related Entity, unless the Board expressly determines otherwise; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed in writing by Executive, Executive’s termination of employment will not result in Executive’s deemed resignation as a member of the Board. Upon request of REIT, Executive shall promptly sign and deliver to the REIT Group any and all documents reflecting such resignations as of the effective date of termination.

 

4.

(ii)
Executive’s willful and gross misconduct in the performance of his duties (other than by reason of his incapacity or disability), it being expressly understood that the REIT’s dissatisfaction with Executive’s performance that is not willful and gross misconduct in the performance of Executive’s duties shall not constitute Cause under this clause (ii);

 

(iii)
Executive’s continuous, willful and material breach of this Agreement after written notice of such breach has been given by the Board in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith; provided that, in no event shall any action or omission in subsection (ii) or (iii) constitute “Cause” unless (1) the REIT gives notice to Executive (which notice shall be provided no later than ninety (90) days after the Board becomes aware of the event or condition purportedly giving rise to Cause) stating that Executive will be terminated for Cause, specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail and the effective date of termination (which date of termination shall be no earlier than the date the Board makes its final determination in accordance with this paragraph) (the “Cause Termination Notice”), (2) the REIT provides Executive and his counsel with an opportunity to appear before the Board to rebut or dispute the alleged reason for termination on a specified date that is at least ten (10) business days following the date on which the Cause Termination Notice is given, and (3) a majority of the Board (calculated without regard to Executive, if applicable) determines that Executive has failed to materially cure or cease such misconduct or breach within twenty (20) business days after the Cause Termination Notice is given to him. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, no act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part shall be considered willful unless done or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the REIT, and any act or omission by Executive pursuant to the authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or on the written advice of counsel to the REIT will be deemed made in good faith and in the best interest of the REIT.

(d)
Representations and Covenants by Executive.

(e)
Non-disclosure of Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may use the Confidential Information in the course of performing Executive’s duties on behalf of REIT or any subsidiary or affiliate of REIT as described hereunder, provided that such use is made in good faith. Further, to the extent required by subpoena or applicable law, Executive is permitted to utilize such information in connection with any governmental request, subpoena, investigation or audit. REIT simply requests advance notice of seven (7) business days prior to any such disclosure so that REIT can assert objections (if necessary) or otherwise participate. Upon separation of employment or suspension (for any reason), Executive will immediately surrender possession of all Confidential Information to REIT. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to discourage or restrict Executive from reporting any theft of trade secrets pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (the “DTSA”) or other applicable state or federal law. The DTSA prohibits retaliation against an employee because of whistleblower activity in connection with the disclosure of trade secrets, so long as any such disclosure is made either (i) in confidence to an attorney or a federal, state, or local government official and solely to report or investigate a suspected violation of the law, or (ii) under seal in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding.

 

(f)
Inventions and Patents.

(g)
Miscellaneous.

 

(i)
Executive acknowledges that (x) Executive’s position is a position of trust and responsibility with access to Confidential Information of REIT, (y) the Confidential Information, and the relationship between REIT and each of its employees, customers, tenants, and vendors, are valuable assets of REIT and may not be converted to Executive’s own use and (z) the restrictions contained in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of REIT and will not impair or infringe upon Executive’s right to work or earn a living after Executive’s employment with REIT ends.

 

(ii)
Each of the foregoing obligations shall be enforceable independent of any other obligation, and the existence of any claim or cause of action that Executive may have against REIT, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by REIT of these obligations.

 

(iii)
Executive acknowledges that monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for REIT in the event of a breach of this Agreement and that it would be impossible for REIT to measure damages in the event of such a breach. Therefore, Executive agrees that, in addition to other rights that REIT may have at law or equity, REIT is entitled to seek an injunction preventing Executive from any breach of this Agreement.

 

(iv)
In the event of a breach or violation of any restriction in Sections 5(b) or 5(c) of this Agreement, the prior of time such any such restriction remains in effect shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been cured.

 

(v)
The parties agree that the foregoing restrictive covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect REIT’s legitimate business interests. The parties, however, do not intend to include a provision that contravenes the public policy of any state. Therefore, if any provision of this Section 5 is unlawful, against public policy or otherwise declared void, such provision shall not be deemed part of this Agreement, which otherwise shall remain in full force and effect. If, at the time of enforcement of this Agreement, a court or other tribunal holds that the duration, scope or area restriction stated herein is unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the court should enforce the restrictions to the extent it deems reasonable.

 

(vi)
Executive hereby agrees that prior to accepting employment with any other person or entity during the term of employment or during the Restricted Period following the termination date, Executive will provide such prospective employer with written notice of the existence of this Agreement and the provisions of this Section 5 of this Agreement, with a copy of such notice delivered simultaneously to REIT in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement.
(vii)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the obligations and commitments of this Section 5 shall survive and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

6.
REMEDIES.

 

(a)
Executive agrees and acknowledges that a breach on the part of Executive of the covenants contained in Section 5 will cause irreparable harm to REIT and that damages arising out of such breach may be difficult to determine. Executive, therefore, further agrees that in addition to all other remedies provided at law or at equity, REIT shall be entitled as a matter of course to specific performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief, from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining any further breach of any such covenant by Executive, his

16482164v1 9

31131106v1


 

employers, employees, partners, agents or other associates, or any of them, without the necessity of proving actual damage to REIT by reason of any such breach. If the REIT is the prevailing party in any suit under this Agreement, Executive will reimburse REIT for its expenses incurred in connection with such a suit, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred at any level (including all appeals). In addition, the period of the restriction specified in Section 5 above shall cease to run during the continuance of any violation of Section 5 and any portion of the period remaining at the commencement of any such violation will begin to run again only upon the full cure of the violation.

 

(b)
Executive further agrees and acknowledges that in addition to any injunctive relief and recovery of attorneys’ fees and costs as set forth above and because the exact amount of damage suffered by REIT in the event of a violation by Executive of any of the restrictions set forth in Section 5 may be difficult to calculate, and as such Executive shall be liable to REIT for any monetary damages suffered. The existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against REIT of whatever nature shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by REIT of the covenants set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.

 

7.
ASSIGNMENT. REIT may assign this Agreement and any of the rights or obligations hereunder to any third party in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or transfer, in whole or in part, of REIT’s control and/or ownership of its assets or business. In such event, Executive continues to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. An assignment of this Agreement by Executive or any right or obligation hereunder is strictly prohibited.

 

8.
NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder, shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by overnight courier or mailed, first class, postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, as follows:

Any such notice shall be deemed given when so delivered personally, by e-mail, by facsimile transmission, or if sent by overnight courier, one day after delivery to such courier by the sender or if mailed, five days after deposit by the sender in the U.S. mails.

 

9.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law under Florida law that would require or permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Florida and irrespective of the fact that the parties now or at any time may be residents of or engage in activities in a different state.

 

10.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

 

(a)
Arbitration. REIT and Executive agree that any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or related in any way to Executive’s employment relationship with REIT, the termination of that relationship, this Agreement, and/or any breach of this Agreement, shall be submitted to and decided by binding arbitration in Hillsborough County in the State of Florida. By continuing employment with REIT, Executive accepts and consents to be bound by this agreement to arbitrate (the “Arbitration Provision”). This Arbitration Provision covers all grievances, disputes, claims or causes of action that otherwise could be brought in a federal, state or local court under applicable federal, state or local laws, arising out of or relating to Executive’s employment with REIT and the termination thereof, including claims Executive may have against REIT or against its officers, directors, supervisors, managers, employees or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise. The claims covered by this Arbitration Provision include, but are not limited to, claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied); tort claims; claims for wages or other compensation due; claims for wrongful termination (constructive or actual); claims for discrimination or harassment (including, but not limited to, harassment or discrimination based on race, age, color, sex, gender, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, creed, religion, marital status, partnership status, military status, predisposing genetic characteristics, medical condition, psychological condition, mental condition,

16482164v1 10

31131106v1


 

criminal accusations and convictions, disability, sexual orientation, or any other trait or characteristic protected by federal, state or local law); claims for violation of any federal, state, local or other governmental law, statute, regulation or ordinance; and claims or disputes concerning the validity, enforceability, arbitrability or scope of this Arbitration Provision. Claims not covered by this Arbitration Provision are claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment compensation benefits; at REIT’s sole option, claims by REIT for injunctive or other equitable relief for the breach or threatened breach of the covenants above; and any other claims that, as a matter of law, REIT and Executive cannot agree to arbitrate. Nothing herein shall impair Executive’s right to report possible violations of law to any government agency or cooperate with any agency’s investigation. REIT shall pay all costs associated with any arbitration, including the filing fee, hearing costs, and any other arbitration costs, but excluding the cost and expense of legal counsel to Executive.

 

(b)
REIT and Executive expressly intend and agree that: (a) class, collective and/or representative action procedures shall not be asserted, nor will they apply, in any arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision; (b) Executive will not assert class, collective and/or representative action claims against REIT or its officers, directors, supervisors, managers, employees or agents in arbitration or otherwise; and (c) Executive shall only submit his own, individual claims in arbitration and will not seek to represent the interests of any other person. Further, REIT and Executive expressly intend and agree that any claims by Executive will not be joined, consolidated or heard together with claims of any other employee.

 

(c)
The Arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of Florida or federal law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) as applicable to the claims asserted and shall apply the same rules of evidence as a federal court. Arbitration shall be administered in accordance with the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. To the extent not provided for in the AAA Employment Arbitration Rules, the Arbitrator has the power to order discovery upon a showing that discovery is necessary for a party to have a fair opportunity to present a claim or defense, and the Arbitrator shall decide all discovery disputes. Executive’s agreements to arbitrate and participate only in his individual capacity are contracts under the Federal Arbitration Act and any other laws validating such agreements. No failure to strictly enforce these agreements will constitute a waiver or create any future waivers. If any part of this Arbitration Provision is adjudged to be void or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the void or unenforceable portion shall be severed and such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Arbitration Provision and/or this Agreement. Any arbitral award determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(d)
Injunctive Relief. Nothing in the Arbitration Provision and/or this Agreement shall prevent REIT from applying to and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction a writ of attachment, a temporary restraining order, a permanent restraining order, a temporary injunction, a permanent injunction, or other injunctive relief available to safeguard and protect REIT’s interests, including but not limited to REIT’s interests in the restrictive covenants contained herein. Any action, suit or other proceeding initiated for these purposes shall be brought in the State of Florida in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsborough County, Florida or in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and Executive agrees to submit himself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts for such purposes.

 

(e)
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO EMPLOYEE’S EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY, THE TERMINATION OF THAT RELATIONSHIP, THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. COMPANY AND EMPLOYEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT.

 

11.
INVALIDITY. Any provision herein which in any way contravenes the applicable laws of any country, state or jurisdiction shall be severed from this Agreement and deemed not to be considered part of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not be invalid as a whole because of any such determination.

 

12.
INDULGENCE. No indulgence extended by either party hereto to the other party shall be construed

16482164v1 11

31131106v1


 

as a waiver of any breach on the part of such other party, nor shall any waiver of one breach be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies with respect to any subsequent breach.

 

13.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND CHANGES TO BE IN WRITING. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between Executive and REIT concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes and preempts any prior employment agreement or other understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing, signed by Executive and an authorized officer of REIT.

 

14.
NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive agrees to not make any statements, written or oral, while employed by REIT and thereafter, which would be reasonably likely to disparage or damage REIT, its affiliates or subsidiaries or the personal or professional reputation of any present or former employees, officers or members of the managing or directorial boards or committees of REIT or its affiliates or subsidiaries. REIT shall not make official statements disparaging Executive and shall further instruct all officers and directors of the REIT not to make disparaging comments regarding Executive.

 

15.
STRICT COMPLIANCE. Executive’s or REIT’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right Executive or REIT may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement. The waiver, whether express or implied, by either party of a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent violation of any such provision.

 

16.
280G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, or any other agreement, plan, or arrangement to the contrary, if any portion of any payment or benefit to Executive under this Agreement, or under any other agreement, plan, or arrangement (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, and would, but for this Section 16, result in the imposition on Executive of an excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), then the Total Payments to be made to the Executive shall either be (a) delivered in full, or (b) delivered in a reduced amount that is $1.00 less than the amount that would cause any portion of such Total Payments to be subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing results in the receipt by the Executive of the greatest benefit on an after-tax basis (taking into account the Excise Tax, as well as the applicable federal, state, and local income and employment taxes, for which the Executive shall be deemed to pay at the highest marginal rate for the applicable calendar year). To the extent the foregoing reduction applies, then any such payment or benefit shall be reduced or eliminated by applying the following principles, in order: (1) the payment or benefit with the higher ratio of the parachute payment value to present economic value (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions) shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with a lower ratio; (2) the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and (3) cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would violate Section 409A of the Code, then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payment or benefits (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments). The determination of whether the Excise Tax or the foregoing reduction will apply will be made by independent tax counsel selected and paid by the REIT (which may be regular counsel of the REIT).

 

17.
SURVIVAL. Any provision of this Agreement that is expressly or by implication intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive or remain in effect after the termination of this Agreement.

 

18.
COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, either one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but both such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

 

19.
UNDERSTANDING OF EMPLOYEE. Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive has read

FORM OF RELEASE

This RELEASE (“Release”) is granted effective as of the [] day of [], 20[] by David Sobelman (the “Executive”) in favor of Generation Income Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), and the other Released Parties (as defined below). This is the Release referred to in the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2024, between the REIT and Executive (the “Employment Agreement”). Executive gives this Release in consideration of the REIT’s promises and covenants contained in the Employment Agreement, with respect to which this Release is an integral part.

 

1.
Release of the Company. Executive, for himself, his successors, assigns, attorneys, and all those entitled to assert his rights, now and forever hereby releases and discharges the REIT and its respective officers, directors, stockholders, trustees, employees, agents, parent corporations, subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, successors, assigns and attorneys (the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, sums of money due, suits, debts, liens, covenants, contracts, obligations, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, agreements, promises, demands, claims for attorney’s fees and costs, or liabilities whatsoever, in law or in equity, which Executive ever had or now has against the Released Parties, arising by reason of or in any way connected with or which may be traced either directly or indirectly to the employment relationship which existed between the REIT or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, or predecessors and Executive, or the termination of that relationship, that Executive has, had or purports to have, from the beginning of time to the date of this Release, whether known or unknown, that now exists, no matter how remotely they may be related to the aforesaid employment relationship including but not limited to claims for employment discrimination under federal or state law, except as provided in Paragraph 2; claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e), et seq. or the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq.; claims for statutory or common law wrongful discharge, including any claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq.; claims for attorney’s fees, expenses and costs; claims for defamation; claims for wages or vacation pay; claims for benefits, including any claims arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq.; and provided, however, that nothing herein shall release the REIT of its obligations to the Employee under Section 3(b) of the Employment Agreement or under any equity award agreement or indemnification agreement, or under any indemnification obligations to Executive under the REIT’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or any federal, state or local law or otherwise.

 

2.
Release of Claims Under Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive agrees that by executing this Release, he has released and waived any and all claims he has or may have as of the date of this Release for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq. It is understood that Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release; that he in fact has consulted a knowledgeable, competent attorney regarding this Release; that he may, before executing this Release, consider this Release for a period of 21 calendar days; and that the consideration he receives for this Release is in addition to amounts to which he was already entitled. It is further understood that this Release is not effective until seven calendar days after the execution of this Release and that Executive may revoke this Release within seven calendar days from the date of execution hereof.

 

Executive agrees that he has carefully read this Release and is signing it voluntarily. Executive acknowledges that he has had 21 days from receipt of this Release to review it prior to signing or that, if Executive is signing this Release prior to the expiration of such 21‑day period, Executive is waiving his right to review the Release for such full 21‑day period prior to signing it. Executive has the right to revoke this release within seven days following the date of its execution by him. However, if Executive revokes this Release within such seven-day period, no severance benefit will be payable to him under the Employment Agreement and he shall return to the REIT any such payment received prior to that date.

 

EXECUTIVE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS RELEASE AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT CONSTITUTES A GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT. EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE HAS HAD A FULL OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY OR OTHER ADVISOR OF HIS CHOOSING CONCERNING HIS EXECUTION OF THIS RELEASE AND THAT HE IS SIGNING THIS RELEASE VOLUNTARILY AND WITH THE FULL INTENT OF RELEASING THE REIT FROM ALL SUCH CLAIMS.

Promptly upon Borrower gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written notice thereof, specifying the nature thereof; and promptly upon the occurrence of any event or the discovery of any fact which might affect or indicate a material and adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower, notice thereof specifying the nature thereof.
(d)
Borrower shall deliver to Lender such other information as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

5.2 Books of Account. Borrower shall maintain books of account in accordance with commercially reasonable accounting principles, consistently applied, which shall disclose the information necessary for determining compliance with Borrower’s covenants in this Agreement.

 

5.3 Right of Inspection. Whenever Lender, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary, and upon three (3) days’ prior notice, Borrower shall permit Lender, or any agent designated by Lender, to visit and inspect any property of Borrower and to inspect and make excerpts of its accounting records, all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as Lender may request. In conducting any such inspection, Lender shall not interfere with Borrower’s operations.

 

5.4 Insurance. Borrower shall maintain or cause to be maintained adequate insurance with responsible insurers with coverage normally obtained by businesses similar to Borrower, but covering at least damage to physical property from fire, windstorm and other hazards included in the term “extended coverage”, liability on account of injury to persons or property, loss of rents for at least six months and flood (if any of the real property described in the Security Documents is deemed to be located in an area designated by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area), all in amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably require.

5.5 Payment of Taxes, Liens, etc. Borrower shall pay all the taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances of every nature now imposed, levied or assessed, or that hereafter may be imposed, levied or assessed upon Borrower. All such payments shall be made

6


 

when due and shall be payable according to applicable law before they become delinquent and before any interest attaches or any penalty is incurred. Insofar as any indebtedness is of record, the same shall be promptly satisfied and evidence of such satisfaction shall be promptly given to Lender.

 

5.6 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall comply with all requirements applicable to it under the laws or regulations of the United States, of any state or states and of any other governmental authority, including all laws and regulations relating to pollution control, environmental protection and public health.

 

5.7 Use of Proceeds. The funds borrowed under the Note will be used only for valid business or commercial purposes and not for personal, family or household purposes.

 

5.8 Further Assurances. If, at any time, counsel for Lender is of the reasonable opinion that Lender’s liens and security interests under the Security Documents are not first priority liens or security interests on the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, then Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after written notice of such opinion from Lender, do all things necessary to assure, to the reasonable satisfaction of counsel for Lender, that the Loan Obligations are secured or will be secured as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

5.9 Maintenance of Property. Borrower shall maintain its property and all of its equipment in good working order.

 

5.10 Litigation Notice. Borrower shall deliver to Lender prompt written notice of any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or other agency which, if adversely determined, would adversely affect the business, properties or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower. For the purposes of this paragraph, Borrower shall not be obligated to notify Lender of any proceeding in which the amount in controversy is less than $10,000.00. This shall include notification as to any and all enforcement proceedings brought by any environmental agency, the Florida Department of Revenue, or any other county, state or federal agency.

 

5.11 Deposit Accounts. Borrower shall maintain its primary depository accounts with Lender during the term of this Loan.

 

5.12 Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Borrower shall maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) of 1.50:1.00, on a trailing twelve (12) month basis, tested as of December 31, 2025, and annually thereafter (each, a “Testing Date”), defined as the ratio of (i) gross operating revenues attributable to the Real Property less the sum of all operating expenses attributable to the Real Property (including monthly accruals of real estate taxes and insurance premiums) to (b) the sum of annual principal and interest payments under a hypothetical loan in the amount of $2,495,000.00 amortized over twenty-five (25) years, at a fixed annual rate equal to the greater of (i) the fixed rate under any interest rate swap applicable to the Note as of the Testing Date or (ii) the 10 Year U.S. Treasury Rate as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 on the Testing Date plus Two and One-Quarter percent (2.25%). If Borrower is not in compliance with the DSCR covenant defined above, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of written notice

7


 

thereof, either (i) make a principal repayment in an amount that would result in compliance if the amount of the hypothetical loan referenced in the denominator of the DSCR test above was $2,495,000.00 less such repayment, or (ii) deposit such principal repayment amount (“Cash Collateral”) into a blocked account held by Lender; provided, however, that no such repayment or deposit shall be required if (a) the non-compliance was caused by a tenant vacating a Real Property parcel without fair warning and (b) Borrower, within ninety (90) days of the written notice described above, has entered into a lease for such vacated parcel that would allow Borrower to comply with the DSCR covenant on a pro forma basis. If Borrower elects to deposit Cash Collateral with Lender to cure a failure to meet the minimum DSCR, Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in any Cash Collateral held by Lender. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may immediately apply any Cash Collateral against the obligations due under the Loan. Lender shall release Cash Collateral held by Lender to Borrower if, as of a subsequent Testing Date, no Event of Default, nor any event which, upon notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower has met the minimum DSCR of 1.50:1.00.

 

5.13 Subordination of Debt. Within thirty (30) days of demand by Lender, within its sole discretion, Borrower shall deliver to Lender full and effective subordinations made and executed by any and all persons (including individuals, entities, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, associations or de jure organizations) holding common stock or any form of legal or beneficial ownership in Borrower or having any type of control or affiliation with Borrower, including any and all sister, parent, subsidiary or affiliated corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, entities, associations or de jure organizations. The required subordinations shall subordinate to the Loan Obligations any debt, cause of action, lien, security interest or any other type of claim or encumbrance held against Borrower or its personal property or real estate.

 

6. Negative Covenants. Borrower covenants and agrees that from the date hereof until the Loan Obligations are paid in full, without the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld:

 

6.1 Liens. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever, except Permitted Liens, on any of its assets now or hereafter owned (including, without limitation, the Collateral), or enter into or suffer to exist any conditional sales contracts or other title retention agreements.

 

6.2 Merger; Consolidation; Sale of Substantial Assets.

Lender shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its power with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Lender may determine.

 

(c) No delay or omission of Lender or of any holder of the Note and other instruments evidencing the loans evidenced by the Note, to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any event of default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any event of default or to constitute acquiescence therein.

 

(d) No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lender by the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations is

11


 

exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given under the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations, now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

 

(e) Additionally, Lender shall have the right, upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to set-off against the Loan Obligations any debt or claim owed by Lender in any capacity to Borrower, whether or not due, and the set-off shall automatically occur, with record entries to evidence the same made after occurrence of the automatic set-off.

 

8. Miscellaneous.

 

8.1 Lender’s Right to Make Certain Payments. In the event Borrower fails to pay or discharge any taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, obligations and encumbrances by the date such payments are due, including any applicable grace period, Lender may, at its option, pay or discharge the taxes, assessments, levies, liabilities, and obligations and encumbrances or any part thereof. In such an event, Lender shall have no obligation on its part to determine the validity or necessity of any payment thereof and any such payments shall not waive or affect any option, lien, equity, or right of Lender under or by virtue of this Agreement. The full amount of each and every such payment shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the date thereof until paid at the maximum interest allowable under applicable law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring Lender to advance or expend monies for any of the purposes mentioned in this Section.

 

8.2 Enforcement Expenses. Borrower shall pay all the costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, whether incurred at trial or appellate level or in connection with bankruptcy proceedings, including proceedings seeking relief from the automatic stay or seeking to prohibit or limit the use of cash collateral, incurred or paid at any time by Lender due to the failure on the part of Borrower to promptly and fully to perform, comply with and abide by each and every stipulation, agreement, condition and covenant of the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations. Such costs, charges and expenses shall be immediately due and payable, whether or not there be notice, demand, attempt to collect or suit pending. The full amount of each and every such payment shall bear interest from the date thereof until paid at the maximum interest rate allowed under applicable law. All such costs, charges and expenses so incurred or paid, together with such interest, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Documents and any other instrument securing the Loan Obligations.

 

8.3 Payments on Business Days. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever any payment to be made under the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations, shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, due in connection with such payment.

 

12


 

8.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

8.5 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

 

8.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, mailed by certified, return receipt requested U.S. mail or delivered by recognized overnight delivery service to the addresses set forth in the Preamble to this Agreement (or such other address as may be noticed to the addressee by the other party in accordance with this provision). Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of: (i) the date when personally delivered to the party; (ii) the next business day, if sent by overnight delivery, (iii) the third business day after mailing, if mailed by certified, return receipt requested U.S. mail, or (iv) when signed for or refused, as evidenced by the return or delivery receipt.

 

8.7 Applicable Law; Venue; Jurisdiction. The laws of the State of Florida (without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles) shall govern all matters arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, except to the extent that any such Loan Document expressly specifies the application of the law of another state. Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby shall be brought in the state or federal courts having jurisdiction over Story County, Iowa, or Hillsborough County, Florida (the “Selected Courts”). Lender and the Loan Parties each consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Selected Courts for the purpose of all legal actions and proceedings arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the enforcement, in the Selected Courts or any other appropriate forum, of any judgment obtained in connection with such legal action or proceeding. Lender and Borrower each waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) any objection which it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby brought in the Selected Courts, and any claim that any legal action or proceeding brought in any of the Selected Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

8.8 Headings. The descriptive section headings herein have been inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the construction of any provisions hereof.

 

8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

 

8.10 Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and in addition to any rights and remedies which Lender may have under the laws of Florida or

13


 

the laws of the United States, and the exercise of any one right or remedy by Lender against Borrower will not deprive Lender of any other right or remedy against Borrower.

 

8.11 Severability. If any portion of any Loan Document or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations is declared void by any court as illegal or against public policy the remainder of the instrument in question shall continue in full effect.

 

8.12 Waiver. Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest as to all obligations under the Loan Documents and any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations.

 

8.13 Waiver by Lender. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any right under the Loan Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right, and no single or partial exercise of any right shall preclude the Lender from any other or further exercise of any other right or remedy. Lender may cure any Event of Default in any reasonable manner without waiving the Event of Default so cured and without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default. All rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement and under the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable laws shall be deemed cumulative.

 

8.14 No Joint Venture. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that the relationship between them is strictly a lender/borrower relationship and that, notwithstanding this Agreement, any provision in the Note or Security Documents or any other instrument evidencing or securing the Loan Obligations, or any course of conduct presently existing or arising in the future between the parties, the relationship between the parties shall not constitute a partnership or joint venture.

 

8.15 No Tort Liability. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no tort liability whatsoever in connection with the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, liability for any intentional or negligent misrepresentation. It is expressly agreed that the sole and exclusive remedies arising from or related to the relationship of Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan shall be enforcement of this Loan Agreement and any other Loan Documents and the remedies provided for herein or therein.

 

8.16 Documentary Stamp and Intangibles Taxes. Borrower hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all documentary stamp taxes and intangibles taxes (together with all interest, penalties, costs, and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith) that may be at any time levied, assessed, or imposed by the State of Florida or any other governmental entity or agency upon the Note (or any note renewed or replaced thereby), this Agreement, the Security Documents, any of the other Loan Documents, or any amendment, extension, or renewal of any of the foregoing, or upon Lender by virtue of owning or holding any of the foregoing instruments or documents. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the satisfaction of the Loan Obligations for so long as any claim may be asserted by the State of Florida or any such other governmental entity or agency.

 

14


 

8.17 Waiver of Trial by Jury. Borrower and Lender each hereby knowingly, irrevocably, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on this Agreement or the Loan Documents or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or any other document executed in conjunction with the transactions contemplated thereunder, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statement (whether oral or written) or action of any party.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$2,495,000.00 August 23, 2024

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GIPIA 1220 S Duff Avenue, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of Valley National Bank, a national banking association (“Lender”), in the manner hereafter specified, the principal sum of Two Million Four Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,495,000.00), together with interest as provided below. Principal and interest shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is referenced hereunder as the “Loan”.

 

This Loan is made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement of even date (the “Loan Agreement”). This Note is secured by mortgage liens and/or security interests, and those liens and security interests, as well as other terms related to the Loan, are evidenced by the Security Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 

For each Interest Payment Period (as defined herein), the principal amount of the indebtedness due under this Note from time to time shall accrue simple interest at a fixed annual rate equal to the SOFR Index plus the Margin (the greater of which shall be referred to herein as the “Interest Rate”).

 

For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(A) “Business Day” shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Florida, on which banks are open for business in Tampa, Florida.

 

(B) “Index Period” shall mean One (1) Month.

 

(C) “Interest Rate Period” shall mean a period equal to one month. The first Interest Rate Period hereunder shall be the period commencing on August 23, 2024, and ending on (but excluding) September 10, 2024. Thereafter, each Interest Rate Period shall commence on the 10th day of every calendar month immediately following the previous Interest Rate Period (the “Reset Date”). If any Interest Rate Period is scheduled to commence on a day that is not a Business Day, then such Interest Rate Period shall commence on the next succeeding Business Day (and the preceding Interest Rate Period shall continue up to, but shall not include, the first day of such Interest Rate Period). Each Interest Rate Period which commences before and would otherwise end after the Maturity Date shall end on the Maturity Date.

 

(D) “Margin” shall mean Two and One-Half Percent (2.50%).

 

(E) “SOFR Index” shall mean the Term SOFR Reference Rate (rounded upwards, at Lender’s option, to the next 100th of one percent) for the Index Period, in effect two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of this Note for the initial Interest Rate Period, and two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior

Loan Number 25016997


 

to the Reset Date thereafter; provided, however, that if at any time the SOFR Index is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero for the purposes of this Note and provided further that such floor of zero shall not be applicable for any portion of the Loan subject to a Hedge Agreement (as defined in the Loan Agreement) pursuant to which the Interest Rate is being swapped unless such Hedge Agreement has a floor in which case such floor shall be applicable during the period such floor is in effect under such Hedge Agreement.

 

(F) “Term SOFR Reference Rate” shall mean the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that is published by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (“CBA”) as selected or recommended by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“New York Fed”) and other relevant governmental bodies and the Alternate Reference Rate Committee. The Term SOFR Reference Rate is based on transactions in the SOFR derivatives markets, including SOFR futures and SOFR overnight index swaps transactions and is calculated in 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month yields. The Term SOFR Reference Rate is published daily as calculated by CBA for the New York Fed at approximately 6:00 am Eastern Time.

 

(G) “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the SOFR Index is permanently or indefinitely unavailable or unascertainable, (ii) the SOFR Index ceases to be published, (iii) the SOFR Index is officially discontinued, (iv) the government authority having jurisdiction of Lender sets forth a specific date that the SOFR Index may no longer be available for determining interest rates, (v) the SOFR Index can no longer be lawfully relied upon in contracts, (vi) the SOFR Index does not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the type of loans or advances evidenced by this Note, or (vii) Lender in its sole but reasonable judgment believes that the SOFR Index is no longer a widely recognized benchmark for the origination of loans and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, then all references to the Interest Rate herein will instead be to a replacement rate determined by Lender in its sole but reasonable judgment. If at any time such replacement rate is less than zero percent (0.00%), then the replacement rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.00%) plus any spread adjustment for purposes of calculating the Interest Rate. Lender will provide reasonable notice to Borrower of such replacement rate, which will be effective on the date of the earliest event set forth in clauses (i)-(vii) of this paragraph. If there is any ambiguity as to the date of occurrence of any such event, Lender’s judgment will be dispositive.

 

Borrower shall make monthly payments of accrued interest at the Interest Rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, plus principal in the amounts and on the dates set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. On September 10, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding principal shall be paid in full. All payments due under this Note shall be paid to Lender at Post Office Box 953, Wayne, New Jersey 07474-0953, or at such other place as Lender may hereafter designate.

 

2


 

Daily interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Any payment hereunder shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest, second to principal and the balance, if any, to unpaid fees.

 

Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the Loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed under this Note earlier than it is due; provided, however, that Borrower shall, at the time of such prepayment, also pay all accrued and outstanding interest due hereunder. In the event of such prepayment, Borrower shall remain responsible for any and all termination costs under any outstanding Hedge Agreements. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments hereunder. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due under this Note. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse” or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to Valley National Bank, 180 Fountain Parkway N, Suite 200, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716.

 

In addition to any rights of Lender under the Loan Agreement and Security Documents, Lender, upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), may set off against the Loan any debt or claim owed by Lender in any capacity to each maker, endorser, accommodation party, guarantor or other obligor under this Note, whether or not due, and upon and during the continuation of such Event of Default the set off shall automatically occur, with record entries to evidence the same made after occurrence of the automatic set off. Additionally, Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in all property of Borrower, whether tangible or intangible, which presently or in the future is in the possession of Lender.

 

Time is of the essence of this Note. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Lender may, at Lender’s option and without notice (Borrower hereby expressly waives notice of default), accelerate this Note and declare the entire principal sum immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest and fees. If any Borrower or any endorser, accommodation party, guarantor, or other obligor under this Note becomes insolvent or bankrupt, or if any Borrower is dissolved, then Lender may immediately, at Lender’s option and without notice (Borrower hereby expressly waives notice of default), accelerate this Note and declare the entire remaining principal sum immediately due and payable, together with accrued interest and fees. In addition, the entire principal amount, plus accrued interest, shall be due and payable at the time of any transfer, sale, assignment or other type of disposition of, or at the time of any attachment of any encumbrance, lien or charge against, any portion of the property referenced in the Security Documents, unless Lender consents to the transfer or lien.

 

3


 

Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), each party liable for the payment hereof, as maker, endorser, guarantor, or otherwise, shall pay Lender, in addition to the sums stated above, reasonable attorney’s fees, which shall include attorney’s fees for trial, appellate, bankruptcy, reorganization, and other proceedings, together with all other reasonable collection costs incurred, whether or not suit is brought. After maturity or default, this Note, and any judgment entered on account of this Note, shall bear interest at the highest rate permitted under then applicable law, whether now or hereafter in effect.

 

No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under this Note.

 

So long as Lender has not exercised its right to accelerate as provided hereunder, in the event any periodic payment required under this Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days of the date when the payment is due, Borrower shall pay Lender a late fee equal to the greater of (a) $25.00 and (b) five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of the late payment. In the event that any payment is dishonored, Borrower shall pay Lender a dishonored item fee equal to $36.00. The parties agree that such fees are fair and reasonable charges for late payment and dishonored items, respectively, and shall not be deemed a penalty. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the option in the event of any subsequent default.

 

Nothing contained herein, nor in any instrument or transaction related hereto, shall be construed or shall operate to require Borrower, or any person liable for payment of the Loan, to pay interest at a rate greater than the highest rate permissible under applicable law. Should any interest paid by Borrower, or paid by any parties liable for the payment of the Loan, result in interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law, whether now or hereafter in effect, then any and all such excess shall be automatically credited against and paid in reduction of the principal balance, and any portion of said excess which exceeds the principal balance shall be paid by Lender hereof to Borrower and any parties liable for the payment of the Loan.

 

Each person liable hereon whether as maker, endorser, guarantor or otherwise waives presentment, demand and protest, and waives notice of protest, notice of dishonor and any other notice. Each maker or endorser expressly consents to any and all extensions, modifications and renewals, in whole or in part, including but not limited to changes in payment schedules and interest rates, and to all delays in time of payment or other performance which Lender may grant or permit at any time and from time to time, and to additions to, releases, reductions or exchanges of or substitutions for any collateral without limitation and without any notice to or further consent of any maker, endorser, guarantor, accommodation party or any other person.

 

This Note may be assigned by the Lender. Written notice of such an assignment shall be given to Borrower and in the event of such an assignment, the assignee shall succeed to all of Lender’s rights hereunder, as well as its duties, responsibilities and obligations.

 

For and in consideration of the funding of this Loan by Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate or to re-execute any and all loan documentation deemed necessary or desirable in the Lender’s discretion, in order to correct or to adjust for any clerical errors or omissions contained in any document executed in connection with this Loan.

Whenever used herein, the terms “Lender” and “Borrower” shall be construed in the singular or plural as the context may require or admit.

 

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THIS NOTE OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.

Section 2.04
Capital Commitments.
(a)
Agreement to Contribute Capital. The Members agree to make their respective Initial Capital Contributions on or before the date of this Agreement.

(iii)
cause the Company to seek to borrow the required additional funds from any third-party lender.
Section 2.05
Default by Members. Each Member agrees that: (i) payment of its required Capital Contributions and amounts required under this Agreement when due is of the essence, and is to be made absolutely and unconditionally in each case without any set-off, withholding, counterclaim, defense or reduction; (ii) any Default by any Member would cause injury to the Company and to the other Members; and (iii) that the amount of damages caused by any such injury would be extremely difficult to calculate.

Section 2.06
Additional Capital Contributions. If the Managing Member determines that the Company requires cash in addition to the Capital Contributions set forth in this Agreement in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to carry on the business of the Company, no more than 30 days after such determination, the Members may, but have no obligation, to agree to or make any additional contributions of additional capital; and the Managing Member may obtain additional financing from new investors after a written indication by each Member of the Member’s decision not to provide additional Capital Contribution; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall be required to obtain the prior approval of each Preferred Member to accept additional Capital Contributions or obtain additional financing, in each case in excess of $100,000 (in the aggregate), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which will be deemed provided if the additional financing or additional Capital Contribution is to be used to redeem the Preferred Members’ Class A Preferred Units and is actually used for such purpose. The Members acknowledge and agree that if a Member decides not to contribute Additional Capital Contributions, such Member’s Membership Interest may be decreased based on the Additional Capital Contributions of the other Members. Notwithstanding the Managing Member’s right to accept additional financing from new investors or accept additional Capital Contributions in amounts less than $100,000 (in the aggregate), the Managing Member may not issue any new Membership Interests or obtain new financing in any amount without each Preferred Member’s prior consent in the event the new Membership Interests or the terms of the new financing would negatively affect the Preferred Members’ preferential right to distributions or redemption rights.
Section 2.07
Additional Member Capital Contributions. (a) Subject to complying with the terms of Section 2.06, the Managing Member shall have the right to admit one or more Persons as members of the Company (each an “Additional Member”) with such rights and obligations as the Managing Member shall determine. Upon admission of any new Member (i) such Member shall be designated as a Preferred Member, Common Member or such other classification as the Managing Member shall elect based on such new Member’s rights and obligations hereunder and (ii) subject to Section 9.03 hereof, the Managing Member is authorized to amend this Agreement without any further action on the part of any other Member to reflect the admission of such new Member and its rights and obligations hereunder. Subject to the Act and this Section 2.08, any Membership Interest issued to Additional Members may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties as shall be determined by the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of any Member, and

(d)
The Managing Member may cause the Capital Accounts of the Members to be adjusted to reflect any revaluation(s) of any one or more Company assets made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the definition of Gross Asset Value and, further, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g) (with such provisions being incorporated herein by reference).

ARTICLE III

Allocations of Profits and Loss

Section 3.01
Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations and limitations set forth in Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, Net Profits and Net Losses (and/or each and any of the items of income, gain, losses and deductions entering into the computation thereof) for any fiscal year or other relevant period shall be allocated to and among the Members in such manner that the Managing Member shall determine will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior fiscal years and other periods being (as nearly as possible) equal to the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company, and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.03. Net Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 3.01 to a Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year or other relevant period. In the event that some but not all of the Members would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to this Section 3.01, the limitations set forth herein shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and Net Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
Section 3.02
Special / Regulatory Allocation. The following special allocations shall be made to the Members in the following order and priority:
(a)
Member Nonrecourse Debt. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE III, if there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) attributable to “partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) during any fiscal year or other relevant period, each Member who or that has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year

7


 

or other relevant period (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years and periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 3.02(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b)
Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.02, if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2) during any fiscal year or other relevant period, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year or other relevant period (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years and other periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 3.02(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(c)
Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) which causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Members in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 3.02(c) is intended to qualify as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d)
Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1)) for any fiscal year or other relevant period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
(e)
Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in the same ratio as Net Income for such fiscal year or other period is allocated among the Members.
(f)
Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulations Section

8


 

1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.
Section 3.03
Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 3.02 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.03. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE III (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Managing Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 3.01. In exercising its discretion under this Section 3.03, the Managing Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.
Section 3.04
Tax Allocations.
(a)
General. For each fiscal year or other relevant period, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be allocated for United States federal, and state and local, income tax purposes to and among the Members in the same manner as their corresponding book items are allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 3.03 hereof for such fiscal year or other relevant period, as modified by subsections (b) through (d) below:
(b)
Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Company income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any asset contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated to and among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the Company’s adjusted tax basis in such asset for United States federal income tax purposes and the Gross Asset Value of the asset using any method (or methods) that the Managing Member determines to use and which is permitted under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(c)
Reverse Section 704(c) Allocations. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of Company income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the Gross Asset Value of such asset immediately before such adjustment and its Gross Asset Value immediately after such adjustment using any method (or methods) that the Managing Member shall determine to use and which is permitted under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

9


 

(d)
Recapture Income. Depreciation and amortization recapture, if any, resulting from any sales or dispositions of tangible or intangible depreciable or amortizable property of the Company shall be allocated to and among the Members in the same proportions that the depreciation or amortization being recaptured was allocated to and among the Members to the maximum extent permissible under the Treasury Regulations.
(e)
Other. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 3.04 will be made by the Managing Member. Allocations under this Section 3.04 are solely for purposes of United States federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits or Net Losses or other items or distributions under any provision of this Agreement.
Section 3.05
Allocation in Event of Transfer. If there is a change in any Member’s interest in the Company, whether by reason of a transfer of such interest, the admission of a new Member or otherwise, during any fiscal year or other relevant period, Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof for such fiscal year or other relevant period shall be allocated using such method(s) that the Managing Member shall determine to use and which is permissible under Section 706(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Section 4.04

The Members, in connection with their respective duties and responsibilities hereunder, shall at all times act in good faith and, except as expressly set forth herein, any decision or exercise of right of approval, consent, disapproval or deferral of approval by a Member (including the Managing Member) is to be made by such Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in good faith, but recognizing that each Member may act in its own economic self-interest and in accordance with such tax and business objectives as it deems appropriate or desirable for such Member.

15


 

(b)
Each Member recognizes that the other Members (including the Managing Member) have or may have other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Company and that such other Member (including the Managing Member) is entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments.
(c)
No Member (including the Managing Member) shall be obligated to devote all or any particular part of its time and effort to the Company and its affairs.
(d)
The Managing Member shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Member for any error in judgment, mistake or law or fact or for any other act or thing which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with the business and affairs of the Company, except in the case of a breach of any provision of this Agreement (after written notice to the Managing Member and a reasonable time to cure) or its willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.
(e)
This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on the Members. Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby waive any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by applicable law, and in doing so, acknowledge and agree that the duties and obligation of the Members to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Members otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Person.
Section 5.03
Exculpation and Indemnification.
(a)
The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, investigative or administrative, and whether external or internal to the Company (other than an action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Member, employee or trustee of the Company, or that, such person is or was an Affiliate of a Member (including any partner, member, officer, director, shareholder, agent, advisor, or legal representative of such Member or its Affiliates), employee or trustee of the Company, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner he, she, or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding whether by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he, she or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such Person had reasonable cause to believe that his, her or its conduct was unlawful.
(b)
The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or

16

(c)
Any indemnification under Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of the Person in question is proper in the circumstances because that Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) hereof. Such determination shall be made by the Managing Member, in its reasonable discretion, upon notice to each of the Members; provided, that if the Preferred Members jointly submit a written objection to such Managing Member’s determination within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such notice, then such determination shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)
To the extent that any Person referred to in Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) hereof has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or any appeal or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such proceeding, action, suit, claim or matter, such Person shall be indemnified against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith.
(e)
Expenses incurred in any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such matter, as authorized by the Managing Member in the Managing Member’s reasonable discretion, upon receipt of an acceptable undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined, as provided herein, that such Person is entitled to indemnification.
(f)
The indemnification provided by this Section 5.03 shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which any Person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, agreement, or otherwise, and shall continue and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person.
(g)
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Managing Member, Member, employee or trustee of the Company against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by him, her or it in any such capacity, or arising out of his, her or its status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to

17


 

indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section. Such insurance may include “tail” coverage for periods after termination of service in such capacity or after liquidation, merger, consolidation or other change in the Company.
(h)
The Company shall, at its cost and expense, defend with counsel of the Company’s choice or approval, any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether external or internal to the Company by reason of the fact that he, she or it or was acting in any capacity described in Section 5.03(a) or Section 5.03(b) hereof if he, she or it acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.
Section 5.04
Compliance with Certain Requirements. Each Member hereby acknowledges that one of the partners of GIPLP is Generations Income Properties, Inc. (“GIPREIT”), a Maryland corporation that has made the election to be treated as, and which constitutes, a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under Sections 856 et. seq. of the Code and the regulations, rules and requirements thereunder (collectively, the “REIT Rules”). Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other document governing the management and operation of the Property to the contrary, and for so long as GIPREIT continues to be so treated and so constitute a REIT, the Company shall be managed and operated as if itself is an entity subject to the REIT Rules even if such management and operation is, or could be or become, detrimental or adverse, financially, economically or otherwise, to the Company and/or any Member. To this end, the Managing Member (or any successor managing members shall have the right to, and shall, cause the Company and/or any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and Affiliates to take any action or to refrain from taking any action (including but not limited to using a protective trust to own assets) that the Managing Member determines would be necessary or desirable for the Company, if it itself were a REIT, to (i) preserve its continued qualification as a REIT; and/or (ii) avoid being subject to any excise or other taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code or under any of the other REIT Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein or under any otherwise applicable law, rule, regulation or requirement to the contrary, neither the Managing Member (or any successor managing member) nor any Non-Managing Member shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any other Person for any damages or losses that could result or arise from the Company being operated and/or managed as provided in this Section 5.04.
Section 5.05
Reliance by Third Parties. Persons dealing with the Company may rely conclusively upon the certificate of the Managing Member to the effect that it is then acting as the Managing Member and upon the power and authority of the Managing Member as herein set forth.
Section 5.06
Standard of Care; Activities of the Managing Member. The Managing Member and its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, and neither the Company nor the Non-Managing Member shall by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise have any right, title or interest in or to such independent ventures. Neither the Managing Member nor its Affiliates will have any obligation to offer to the Company, and are expressly permitted to invest directly or indirectly (independent of the Company and/or the Preferred Members) in any opportunities.

The Managing Member may require a Member seeking to transfer its Membership Interest to obtain, at such Member’s cost, a legal opinion satisfactory to the Managing Member that such transfer does not, among other things, require registration under the Securities Act or the

19


 

Investment Company Act, or subject the Company to other regulatory burdens. Additionally, GIPLP may not pledge, transfer or assign its Membership Interest in the Company, with or without the consent of Managing Member, to any Person other than an Affiliate until such time as the Membership Interest of the Preferred Members has been redeemed by the Company or transferred to a third party. GIPLP may pledge, transfer or assign its Membership Interest to an Affiliate of GIPLP with the prior consent of the Preferred Members, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Managing Member does not generally expect to consent to pledges of Membership Interest. Any attempted pledge, transfer, assignment or substitution not made in accordance with this Section 6.01 shall be void.
Section 6.02
Permitted Assignees.
(a)
Subject to compliance with Section 6.01, a purchaser, assignee or transferee of a Member’s Membership Interest (each such Person, a “Permitted Assignee) shall have the right to become a Substitute Member only if the following conditions (in addition to those set forth in Section 6.01) are satisfied:
(i)
A duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment or document of transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Managing Member shall have been filed with the Company;
(ii)
The Member and the Permitted Assignee shall have executed and acknowledged such other instruments and documents and taken such other action as the Managing Member shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable to effect such substitution;
(iii)
The Member or the Permitted Assignee shall have paid to the Company such amount of money as is sufficient to cover all costs, fees and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such substitution; and
(iv)
The Managing Member shall have consented to such substitution.
(b)
In the event of the admission of a Permitted Assignee as a Substitute Member, all references herein to the Members shall be deemed to apply to such Substitute Member and such Substitute Member shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the transferor Member hereunder, including the Capital Account balance of such transferor.
(c)
The Company shall, after the effective date of any assignment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, pay all distributions on account of the Membership Interest so transferred to the Permitted Assignee. If any such distribution is made to the assignor it shall be treated as if paid to the Permitted Assignee for purposes of determining the Capital Account balance of the Permitted Assignee.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Common Member may, upon written notice to the Managing Member, transfer any of its Membership Interests to an Affiliate of the Common Member.
(e)
Any Member who assigns all of its Membership Interest in the Company shall, upon the effective date of such assignment, cease to be a Member for all purposes, except

20


 

that no assignment of all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company shall relieve the assignor of its obligations under this Agreement, whether arising prior to or subsequent to such transfer.
Section 6.03
Limitation of Liability. For each Member, liability shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, the Act, and other applicable law. A Member will not be personally liable for any debts or losses of the Company beyond its respective Capital Contribution; provided, however, that any Member who receives a distribution or the return in whole or in part of its Capital Contribution is liable to the Company only to the extent that such Member knew that such distribution violated the Act and then, only to the extent required by the Act.

(iii)
A determination by the Managing Member after receiving prior, written consent from Preferred Members, to dissolve the Company.
(b)
Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the Dissolution Event occurs, but the Company shall not terminate until the Company’s Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled and the assets of the Company shall have been distributed as provided in Section 7.02 hereof.

(c)
The Bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, death or adjudication of incompetency of a Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company.

As soon as possible after the dissolution of the Company, a full account of the assets and liabilities of the Company shall be taken and a statement shall be prepared setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company. A copy of such statement shall be furnished to each of the Members within sixty (60) days after such dissolution. Thereafter, the assets shall be liquidated as promptly as possible and the proceeds thereof shall be applied in the following order:
(i)
The expenses of liquidation and the debts of the Company, other than the debts owing to the Members, shall be paid from the proceeds of liquidation.
(ii)
Any reserves shall be established or continued which the Managing Member (or its designee) deems reasonably necessary for any liabilities to be satisfied in the future, for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or for its liquidation. Such reserves shall be held by the Company for the payment of any of the aforementioned contingencies, and at the expiration of such period as the Managing Member shall deem advisable, the Company shall distribute the balance thereafter remaining in the manner provided in the following subsections;
(A)
Such debts as are owing to the Members, including unpaid expense accounts or advances made to or for the benefit of the Company, shall be paid; and
(B)
Then, to the Members pursuant to and as provided in Section 4.03.
(b)
Upon dissolution of the Company, each of the Members shall look only to the assets of the Company for the return of his, her or its investment, and if the Company’s assets remaining after payment and discharge of debts and liabilities of the Company, including any debts and liabilities owed to any one or more of the Members, are not sufficient to satisfy the rights of a Member, the Members shall have no recourse or further right or claim against the Company, the Managing Member or any other Member.
(c)
If any assets of the Company are to be distributed in-kind, such assets shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 4.01 as if the assets were sold based on the Fair Value thereof, and any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest therein as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled.
(d)
Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company of which such Member is a Member for the return of such Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions in the Company and no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of such Capital Contribution.

The Investments (including the Property) may, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, be audited annually by an independent certified public accountant selected by the Managing Member in its sole discretion. Expenses incurred in connection of an audit of the Investments (including the Property) shall be borne by such Property.
Section 8.02
Reports to Members. The Company shall prepare and deliver to each Member (i) to the extent prepared at the request of the Managing Member, unaudited quarterly statements and in the Managing Member’s sole discretion, an audited financial report of the Company prepared by the accountants selected by the Managing Member and (ii) quarterly statements of the Member’s Capital Account. The Company shall prepare and deliver to the Members, on a monthly basis, the Company’s unaudited balance sheet, profit and loss statement, cash flow statement and bank reconciliation (and/or bank statement).
Section 8.03
Tax Matters.
(a)
Tax Returns and Supplemental Information. The Managing Member shall cause the Company to send to each Person who or that was a Member of the Company at any time during the fiscal year or other relevant period then ended, such tax information as shall be necessary for the preparation by such Member of his, her or its United States federal, state and local income tax returns. Unless and until the Managing Member shall determine that the Company should make an election to be, and/or to otherwise take such action that would result in the Company being, treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, the Company and the Members agree that the Company shall constitute, and be treated for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, as a partnership for United States federal, state and local income purposes.
(b)
Partnership Representative.
(i)
The Managing Member is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” of the Company for purposes and within the meaning of the New Partnership Audit Rules (the “Partnership Representative”). The Company and each Member shall take such actions as may be required to effect such designation. The Partnership Representative shall designate from time to time a “designated individual” to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative, and such designated individual shall be subject to replacement by the Partnership Representative in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations. To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make an election to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Code (or any analogous provision of state or local tax law), the Partnership Representative shall have the authority and discretion to determine the portion of any imputed underpayment (within the meaning of the New Partnership Audit Rules) allocable to each Member. Each Member agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative in order to determine whether any imputed underpayment (within the meaning of the New Partnership Audit Rules) may be modified in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 6225(c), including any information that will enable the Partnership Representative to determine the portion of the imputed underpayment allocable to (A) a “tax-exempt entity” (as defined in Code Section 168(h)(2)), in the case of ordinary income, to a C corporation or, in the case of capital gain or qualified dividend income, to an individual. Each Member agrees that any payment by the Company of a partnership-level tax imposed with respect to the New Partnership

23


 

Audit Rules shall be treated as paid with respect to such Member. Each Member shall promptly contribute the amount of its allocable share of any partnership-level tax upon request by the Managing Member and, to the extent a Member does not contribute such amount within 15 days after demand for payment thereof, the Company shall offset such amount against distributions to which such Member would otherwise be subsequently entitled pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03 (and such amounts shall be deemed distributed pursuant to those provisions). Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Members, the Partnership Representative and the Managing Member from and against any liability (including any liability for partnership-level taxes imposed with respect to the New Partnership Audit Rules) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payment to such Member.

ARTICLE X

Special Covenants

Section 10.01
Preferred Member Redemption.
(a)
On the Redemption Date, or at any time after the Redemption Date, the Preferred Members shall jointly have a right to require that the Company redeem (the “Redemption”) all, but not less than all, of their total Membership Interest (the “Redeemed Membership Interest”) for the payment of the Redemption Price by giving written notice (“Redemption Notice”) to the Managing Member expressly setting forth its desire to have its entire Membership Interest redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.01. Upon such delivery of such Redemption Notice, the remaining provisions of this Section 10.01 shall apply.
(b)
The closing of the Redemption shall occur on the business day determined by the Managing Member but that is no later than 120 days (the “Redemption Closing Period”) following the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 10.01(a) and shall be consummated by the Company and the Preferred Members each having duly executed and dated the Redemption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and delivering such executed and dated Redemption Agreement to the other of them, and with the Company contemporaneously remitting to each Preferred Member, by wire transfer to the account designated by such Preferred Member in a writing executed and dated by such Preferred Member or by bank or certified check, an amount equal to such Preferred Member’s pro rata portion of the Redemption Price. Each Preferred Member shall continue to be entitled to receive distributions of the Preferred Return until the closing of the Redemption occurs. Except as provided in Section 10.01(c), if the Company should fail to close on the Redemption by the Redemption Closing Period, and which failure was not due to any breach, act or omission on the part of either Preferred Member, then the Managing Member shall then be required to cause the Company to proceed to sell the Property with such sale process to be undertaken in the same manner as would be the case if the Company were to proceed with the sale of the Property without regard to Section 10.01. The consent of each Preferred Member shall be required for any sale of the Property conducted pursuant to this Section if the net proceeds of the proposed sale will be insufficient to pay the Preferred Members the full Redemption Price. The Members hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that the Company may seek to acquire the funds to pay the Redemption Price through, by and/or from such legal means and sources – including, without limitation, from financing, re-financing or other borrowing (and even one requiring the mortgaging or encumbering of the Property) and on such terms and conditions that the Managing Member shall determine; the accepting of one or more Capital Contributions from any one or more Person(s) (including GIPLP and/or one or more of its Affiliates) and on such terms and conditions that the Managing Member shall determine and the admission of such Person(s) as a member of the Company.
(c)
At any time during the Redemption Closing Period, GIPLP shall have the option to, and/or to have any one or more of its Affiliates to (individually or collectively, the “GIPLP Purchaser”) purchase (the “Membership Interest Purchase”) the Redeemed Membership Interest (and/or any portions thereof from one or both of the Preferred Members) for a total price equal to the Redemption Price (or such pro rata portion thereof), by giving written notice to the Company and the Preferred Members that it desires to purchase such Redeemed Membership

28


 

Interest directly from the Preferred Member(s) for the Redemption Price pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement which is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and the day on which the Membership Interest Purchase shall occur (which day shall not be later than the end of the Redemption Closing Period) (the “Purchase Closing Day”), in which case the GIPLP Purchaser and each Preferred Member shall close on the purchase of such Redeemed Membership Interest by each of them duly executing and dating such Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and delivering such executed and dated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to the other(s) of them, and with the GIPLP Purchaser contemporaneously remitting to each Preferred Member, by wire transfer to the account designated by such Preferred Member in a writing executed and dated by such Preferred Member, an amount equal to such Preferred Member’s pro rata portion of the Redemption Price. If the GIPLP Purchaser should fail to close on the Membership Interest Purchase before the end of the Redemption Closing Period, and which failure was not due to any breach, act or omission on the part of either Preferred Member, then the Managing Member shall then be required to cause the Company to proceed to sell the Property with such sale process to be undertaken in the same manner as would be the case if the Company were to proceed with the sale of the Property without regard to Section 10.01.
(d)
Each Preferred Member shall have an option to receive, all or a portion thereof, of such Preferred Member’s pro rata portion of the Redemption Price in the form of units in Generation Income Properties, L.P. (“GIPLP UNITS”). Such GIPLP UNITS shall be subject to all such restrictions, such as with respect to transferability, as reasonably imposed by GIPLP.
(e)
The number of GIPLP UNITS issued to the Preferred Members shall be determined by dividing the amount of the Redemption Price that such Preferred Member shall receive in GIPLP UNITS by a 15% discount of the average 30-day market price of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (e.g. if the market stock price is $10 a share, the number of units shall be converted based on $8.50 a share).
(f)
GIPLP Units shall then be convertible into common stock of Generation Income Properties, Inc. on a 1:1 basis in accordance to the Partnership Agreement of Generation Income Properties, L.P.
Section 10.02
Call Option. At any time after the Redemption Date, the Company may, at its election, require the Preferred Members or any holder of the Class A Preferred Units to sell to the Company all or any portion of such Units for the Redemption Price. Each Preferred Member shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 10.02, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate. Each Preferred Member may, at the discretion of such Preferred Member, as applicable, have an option to receive, all or a portion thereof, of such Preferred Member’s pro rata share of the Redemption Price in the form of GIPLP UNITS. Such GIPLP UNITS shall be subject to all such restrictions, such as with respect to transferability, as reasonably imposed by GIPLP. The number of GIPLP UNITS issued to any Preferred Member shall be determined by dividing the total amount of the Redemption Price that such Preferred Member shall receive in GIPLP UNITS by a 15% discount of the average 30-day market price of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (e.g. if the market stock price is $10 a share, the number of units shall be converted based on $8.50 a share). Units shall then be convertible into

29


 

common stock of Generation Income Properties, Inc. on a 1:1 basis in accordance to the Partnership Agreement of Generation Income Properties, L.P.
Section 10.03
Tri-Party Agreement. Upon the Closing, each Preferred Member, GIPLP, and the Debt Provider shall enter into a Tri-Party Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Tri-Party Agreement, if the Debt Provider declares a default under the Loan and the Managing Member is unable to cure the default within sixty (60) days, the Preferred Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to replace GIPLP as Managing Member of the Company; provided, however, (i) upon the Preferred Members replacing GIPLP as Managing Member, the Preferred Members shall be required to assume all third-party guarantees by GIPREIT and David Sobelman in connection to the Loan, and subject to the Debt Provider’s consent, will replace GIPREIT and David Sobelman as guarantors of the Loan, (ii) any removal of GIPLP as the Managing Member, provided for in Section 10.04 shall have no effect or impact on GIPLP’s Membership Interest or rights as a Member under this Agreement; (iii) GIPLP’s Membership Interest in the Company shall be unaffected, and (iv) the Company shall continue to operate subject to the REIT provisions herein.
Section 10.04
Preferred Members’ Limited Right to Take Over as Managing Member. In the event of Managing Member’s (1) material breach of its obligations under Section 5.01(e) of this Agreement which is not cured within 60 days of Preferred Members’ written notice to the Managing Member; or (2) failure to pay Preferred Members the Preferred Return within 60 days of the legally allowable applicable payment of the Preferred Return, Preferred Members, in addition to any remedies they may have at law or in equity, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to replace GIPLP as Managing Member of the Company; provided, however, (i) any removal of GIPLP as the Managing Member provided for in this Section 10.04 shall have no effect or impact on GIPLP’s Membership Interest or rights as a Member under this Agreement; (ii) GIPLP’s Membership Interest in the Company shall be unaffected; and (iii) the Company shall continue to operate subject to the REIT Rules in this Agreement.

Announces Closing of $5.5 Million Retail Asset

 

Tampa, FL – August 29, 2024 – Generation Income Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIPR) (“GIP” or the “Company”) announced the strategic acquisition of a 30,465 square foot retail building located in Ames, Iowa. The purchase price for the asset was $5.5 million, excluding transaction costs. The building is currently occupied by Best Buy, a reputable tenant with an investment-grade credit rating of BBB+ by Standard & Poor's. The existing lease agreement has approximately 6 years remaining, providing stable long-term income. The tenant can extend the lease for two consecutive periods of 5 years each, ensuring potential for continued revenue generation. The annualized base rent from the lease stands at approximately $405,470, contributing to GIPR's rental income stream.

GIPR financed the acquisition using a combination of approximately 55% cash and 45% debt, demonstrating a balanced approach to capital allocation. This strategic acquisition aligns with GIPR's objective to expand its portfolio with high-quality, income-generating assets. The addition of another investment-grade asset underscores GIPR's disciplined approach to identifying, underwriting, and executing acquisitions for the benefit of its shareholders.
