All Partners understand that this Binding Term Sheet is an amendment to the LPA in accordance with Article XI of the LPA. As the General Partner is comprised of two limited partners, the signatures of the applicable limited partners will signify consent of the General Partner.
CCM Funding and Bank Refinancing
CCM shall fund the immediate equity needs of Black Oak, defined as $7,440,697.29, as outlined below (the “Additional Contribution”). This is the total funding requirement. Under section 3.2 of the LPA, this Additional Contribution will accrue interest at a 15% annual rate. This Additional Contribution will be a loan with a standard 1st lien note and deed of trust securing the repayment of the Additional Contribution. The Partners will continue to work towards refinancing the Additional Contribution with third party bank financing. If refinancing the Additional Contribution does not occur by January 1, 2015, CCM will receive an additional equity interest of 5% (five percent) in the form of a contribution of 5% from Fogarty Family Trust II’s current ownership and no contribution from American Real Estate Investments, LLC. If necessary, CCM will guarantee repayment of any loan that refinances the Additional Contribution, but the refinancing must be on reasonable and competitive lending terms.
Repayment of the Additional Contribution will occur upon the earliest of: 1) refinancing with a third party bank loan; or 2) sale of Black Oak Section One lots (expected in the 2nd Quarter of 2015). In the event the Additional Contribution is not repaid from third party bank refinancing or the sale of section one lots, and the partnership has Distributable Cash, the Additional Contributions shall be paid as provided in Section 5.1 (2) of the LPA.
