Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement
On February 22, 2016 Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. ("we", "us", or the "Company"), Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership") and Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC (our "Manager") executed Amendment No. 1 to the Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2016 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment amends the Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement among the Company, the Partnership and the Manager (the "Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement").
The Amendment modifies the Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement by replacing the 1.0% acquisition fee owed to our Manager in connection with acquiring real property with a loan coordination fee that is payable to our Manager as 1.6% of: (1) the initial amount of new debt financed or outstanding debt assumed secured directly by any type of Real Estate Asset or Real Estate-Related Asset owned, directly or indirectly; (2) the additional amount of any supplemental financing secured directly by any type of Real Estate Asset or Real Estate-Related Asset owned, directly or indirectly; or (3) for any acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange) of a Real Estate Asset or Real-Estate Related Asset that is acquired without any new or assumed debt financing secured directly by the acquired asset at the time of its acquisition, an amount equal to 63.0% of the purchase price for the acquisition, where the purchase price shall equal the amount paid or allocated to the acquisition (by purchase, investment or exchange), inclusive of expenses related thereto, but exclusive of any Loan Coordination Fee. In addition, the Amendment changes the name of the fee paid on loans originated by the Company from an "acquisition fee" to a "loan origination fee."
Under the Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement, as amended, our Manager continues to be responsible for administering our day-to-day business operations, identifying and acquiring targeted real estate investments, overseeing the management of our investments, handling the disposition of our real estate investments, and providing us with our management team and appropriate support personnel.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
