Any Disposition Fee payable under this Section 8.03 may be paid in addition to commissions paid to non-Affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such Disposition Fee) paid to all Persons by the Company for each Sale shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6% of the aggregate Contract Sales Price of each Residential Asset or other Permitted Investment or (ii) the Competitive Real Estate Commission for each Residential Asset or other Permitted Investment.
8.04 Incentive Fees. Upon a Triggering Event, the Company shall pay to the Advisor a Total Incentive Fee, as calculated following the methodology below. If the Company pays the Advisor the Total Incentive Fee associated with one Triggering Event, the Company will not pay the Advisor any further incentive fees. For each Triggering Event, the Total Incentive Fee is equal to the sum of (x) the applicable Legacy Incentive Fee described in Section 8.05, subject to the Hall and XxXxxxxx Fee Reduction described in Section 8.07, and (y) the applicable Offering Incentive Fee described in Section 8.06. Any Total Incentive Fee due on Public NAV REIT Conversion will be payable to the Advisor in Common Shares and such shares will be subordinate to repurchase requests from other Stockholders under the Company’s share repurchase plan (although no deduction for early repurchase will apply to the Advisor’s Common Shares).
8.05 Legacy Incentive Fees.
11
(i)Legacy Incentive Fee Due on IPO, Sale, or Merger. In the event of an IPO, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s equity interests or Properties, a merger, or a share exchange, in a transaction that provides Stockholders with any combination of cash and/or securities of a publicly traded company in exchange for their Common Shares, then a Legacy Incentive Fee shall be due to the Advisor using the formula below under Section 8.05(ii), but the Market Value or the Merger or Sale Consideration Amount, as applicable, of the OP Units and/or Common Shares held by POSOR will be used instead of the then-current NAV of the OP Units and/or Common Shares held by POSOR when calculating Legacy Total Return.
(ii)Legacy Incentive Fee Due on Public NAV REIT Conversion. If the Company completes a Public NAV REIT Conversion, and has satisfied all properly submitted requests under the Company’s share repurchase program for the 12 months prior to the Trigger Date, the Advisor will be entitled to a Legacy Incentive Fee equal to 12.5% of the Legacy Total Return, subject to a 5% Legacy Hurdle Amount with a Legacy Catch-Up. Specifically, the Legacy Incentive Fee will equal:
(a)First, if the Legacy Total Return exceeds the Legacy Hurdle Amount (any such excess, the “Legacy Excess Profits”), 100% of such Legacy Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Advisor hereunder equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Legacy Hurdle Amount and (y) any amount due to the Advisor pursuant to this clause (this is referred to as a “Legacy Catch-Up”); and
(b)Second, to the extent there are remaining Legacy Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Legacy Excess Profits.
(c)“Legacy Total Return” shall equal the sum of (i) all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on OP Units and Common Shares held by POSOR between November 5, 2019 and the Trigger Date, plus (ii) all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on OP Units held by BPT Holdings LLC between November 5, 2019 and the commencement of the Private Offering, plus (iii) the amount by which (a) the sum of the then-current NAV of the outstanding OP Units and/or Common Shares held by POSOR, plus any amounts POSOR received from the Company or the Partnership upon repurchase or redemption of Common Shares or OP Units, plus the BPT Unit Redemption Value exceeds (b) the sum of the Initial Capitalization in November 2019 and all subsequent amounts POSOR invested in the Company and/or the Partnership in exchange for Common Shares and/or OP Units, plus the BPT Unit Issuance Value, plus (iv) the accrued Legacy Incentive Fee, if any (after taking into account the fee reduction in Section 8.07).
(iii) Legacy Incentive Fee Due on Termination. The Legacy Incentive Fee calculated pursuant to 8.05(ii) above will also be due if this Agreement is terminated (including through non-renewal) (except for cause) by the Company. If a fee is due, the Company will only pay the amounts due from the proceeds from the Sale of one or more assets or with the excess proceeds from financing or refinancing the Company’s assets. Amounts not paid will not bear interest and will only be paid from the excess proceeds from future asset Sales, financings or refinancing.
8.06 Offering Incentive Fees.
(i) Offering Incentive Fee Due on IPO, Sale, or Merger. In the event of an IPO, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s equity interests or Properties, a merger, or a share exchange, in a transaction that provides Stockholders with any combination of cash and/or securities of a publicly traded company in exchange for their Common Shares, then an Offering Incentive Fee shall be due to the Advisor using the formula below under Section 8.06(ii), but the Market Value or the Merger or Sale Consideration Amount, as applicable, of the OP Units and/or Common Shares held by parties other than the Company or POSOR will be used instead of the then-current NAV of the OP Units and/or Common Shares held by parties other than the Company or POSOR when calculating Offering Total Return.
12
(ii) Offering Incentive Fee Due on Public NAV REIT Conversion. If the Company completes a Public NAV REIT Conversion, and has satisfied all properly submitted requests under the Company’s share repurchase program for the 12 months prior to the Trigger Date, the Advisor will be entitled to an Offering Incentive Fee equal to 12.5% of the Offering Total Return, subject to a 5% Offering Hurdle Amount with an Offering Catch-Up. Specifically, the Offering Incentive Fee will equal:
(a)First, if the Offering Total Return exceeds the Offering Hurdle Amount (any such excess, the “Offering Excess Profits”), 100% of such Offering Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Advisor hereunder equals 12.5% of the sum of (x) the Offering Hurdle Amount and (y) any amount due to the Advisor pursuant to this clause (this is commonly referred to as an “Offering Catch-Up”); and
(b)Second, to the extent there are remaining Offering Excess Profits, 12.5% of such remaining Offering Excess Profits.
(c)“Offering Total Return” shall equal the sum of (i) all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on outstanding OP Units and Common Shares held by parties other than the Company or POSOR between commencement of the Private Offering and the Trigger Date, plus (ii) the amount by which (a) the sum of the then-current NAV of the outstanding OP Units and/or Common Shares held by parties other than the Company or POSOR, plus any amounts parties other than the Company or POSOR received from the Company or the Partnership upon repurchase or redemption of Common Shares or OP Units exceeds (b) the sum of the NAV, at the time of purchase, of the OP Units and/or Common Shares purchased by parties other than the Company or POSOR from the commencement of the Private Offering, plus (iii) the accrued Offering Incentive Fee, if any, plus (iv) all Distribution Fees paid to the Dealer Manager in connection with Common Shares sold in the Private Offering.
(iii) Offering Incentive Fee Due on Termination. The Offering Incentive Fee calculated pursuant to 8.06(ii) above will also be due if this Agreement is terminated (including through non-renewal) (except for cause) by the Company. If a fee is due, the Company will only pay the amounts due from the proceeds from the Sale of one or more assets or with the excess proceeds from financing or refinancing the Company’s assets. Amounts not paid will not bear interest and will only be paid from the excess proceeds from future asset Sales, financings or refinancing.
8.07 Hall and XxXxxxxx Fee Reduction. Messrs. Xxxxx XxXxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxx have an economic interest in the cash flows of BPT Holdings, LLC, which in turn owns 100% of Pacific Oak Residential, Inc. (“PORI”), which in turn owns 100% of the Advisor (the “Hall and XxXxxxxx Interest”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Hall and XxXxxxxx Interest is 52%. If a Legacy Incentive Fee becomes due pursuant to Article 8, and the Hall and XxXxxxxx Interest is at least 52% at that time, the Company will pay to the Advisor the sum of (i) the Legacy Incentive Fee, reduced by that portion of the Legacy Incentive Fee which is equivalent to the Hall and XxXxxxxx Interest, and (ii) the Offering Incentive Fee. If a Legacy Incentive Fee becomes due pursuant to Article 8 and the Hall and XxXxxxxx Interest is less than 52% at that time, the Company shall pay the Advisor the sum of (i) 48% of the Legacy Incentive Fee and (ii) the Offering Incentive Fee. In addition, Messrs. XxXxxxxx and Xxxx undertake and agree not to share, directly or indirectly, in the portion of the Legacy Incentive Fee paid by the Company to the Advisor, but rather that it shall be distributed in its entirety to the other members of BPT Holdings, LLC. Messrs. XxXxxxxx and Xxxx agree and XXXX agrees, on behalf of itself and its direct and indirect owners, to work in good faith with the other members of BPT Holdings, LLC to ensure that Messrs. XxXxxxxx and Xxxx are not responsible for paying income tax on such amount, as it will be distributed to other members of BPT Holdings, LLC and not to Messrs. XxXxxxxx and Hall.
8.08 Election of Payment in Shares. Subject to Section 8.04, the Advisor may elect, in its sole discretion, to receive payment of any fees described herein in cash or cash equivalent aggregate NAV amounts of Class A Common Shares, with the value per Class A Common Share equal to the most recent NAV per Class A Common Share determined in accordance with the Company’s valuation guidelines.
13
Such Common Shares issued to the Advisor are eligible to participate in the Company’s share repurchase program, subject to the applicable limits, holding period and early repurchase deduction therein, provided that in the applicable repurchase period all repurchase requests made in good order from unaffiliated stockholders are satisfied first as a priority.
