Master Transfer Agreement

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into the MTA with CDS, an entity wholly owned by Christopher Clemente, the Chief Executive Officer of CHCI, and FR54, an entity also controlled by Mr. Clemente, that sets forth certain transactions to complete the Company’s previously announced exit from the homebuilding and land development business in favor of a migration to an asset management model.

Amended and Restated Asset Management Agreement

On April 30, 2019, CDS Asset Management, L.C. (“CAM”), an entity wholly owned by CHCI, entered into an amended and restated master asset management agreement (the “2019 AMA”) with CDS, which amends and restates in its entirety the asset management agreement between the parties dated March 30, 2018 with an effective date as of January 1, 2018. Pursuant to the 2019 AMA, CDS will engage CAM to manage and administer CDS’ commercial real estate portfolio (“CRE Portfolio”) and the day to-day operations of CDS and each property-owning subsidiary of CDS (collectively, the “CDS Entities”).

Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 AMA, CAM will provide investment advisory, development and asset management services necessary to build out, stabilize and manage the CRE Portfolio. The CRE Portfolio consists primarily of two of the larger transit-oriented, mixed-use developments located at metro stops on Washington D.C. Metro’s Silver Line (Reston Station and Loudoun Station), which are owned by entities of varying ownership interests but all of which are ultimately controlled by Mr. Clemente. Pursuant to the modified fee structure set forth in the 2019 AMA, CDS will pay CAM an annual fee equal to the greater of either (i) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (a) an asset management fee equal to 2.5% of the CRE Portfolio revenues; (b) a construction management fee equal to 4% of all costs associated with CRE Portfolio projects in development; (c) a property management fee equal to 1% of the CRE Portfolio revenues, (d) an acquisition fee equal to up to 0.5% of the purchase price of an acquired asset; and (f) a disposition fee equal to 0.5% of the sales price of an asset on disposition (collectively the “Market Rate Fee”); or (ii) an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (x) the employment expenses of personnel dedicated to providing services to the CRE Portfolio pursuant to the 2019 AMA, (y) the costs and expenses of CHCI related to maintaining the listing of its shares on a securities exchange and complying with regulatory and reporting obligations of a public company, and (z) a fixed annual payment of $1,000,000 (collectively the “Cost Plus Fee”).

In addition to the annual payment of either the Market Rate Fee or the Cost Plus Fee; CAM is also entitled on an annual basis to the following supplemental AMA fees; (i) an incentive fee equal to 10% of the free cash flow of each of the real estate assets comprising the CRE Portfolio after calculating a compounding preferred return of 8% on CDS invested capital (the “Incentive Fee”); (ii) an investment origination fee equal to 1% of raised capital, (iii) a leasing fee equal to $1.00/sf for new leases and $.50/sf for renewals; and (iv) mutually agreeable loan origination fees related to the CRE Portfolio.

The 2019 AMA will terminate on December 31, 2027 (“Initial Term”), an extension from the original termination date of December 31, 2022, and will automatically renew for successive additional one-year terms (each an “Extension Term”) unless CDS delivers written notice of non-renewal of the 2019 AMA at least 180 days prior to the termination date of the Initial Term or any Extension Term. Twenty-four months after the effective date of the 2019 AMA, CDS is entitled to terminate the 2019 AMA without cause upon 180 days advance written notice to CAM. In the event of such a termination and in addition to the payment of any accrued annual fees due and payable as of the termination date under the 2019 AMA, CDS is required to pay a termination fee equal to (i) the Market Rate Fee or the Cost Plus Fee paid to CAM for the calendar year immediately preceding the termination , and (ii) a one-time payment of the Incentive Fee as if the CRE Portfolio were liquidated for fair market value as of the termination date; or the continued payment of the Incentive Fee as if a termination had not occurred

The aggregate fee payable to CAM from Investors X under the Management Agreement is $937,500, payable in fifteen quarterly installments of $62,500 each.
