Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Overview
On August 10, 2023, Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) and its operating partnership, Generation Income Properties, L.P. (“GIP Operating Partnership”), entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Modiv Inc. and certain affiliates thereof (collectively, “Modiv”), pursuant to which GIP Operating Partnership purchased from Modiv a portfolio of 13 net leased properties (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio consists of eleven (11) retail properties and two (2) office properties. The properties comprising the Portfolio are located across seven states and aggregate approximately 200,000 rentable square feet.
The purchase price paid for the Portfolio was $42 million, excluding estimated transaction costs and expenses of $1.6 million and subject to prorations and credits as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. An amount equal to $30 million of the Purchase Price was paid in cash and $12 million was paid in shares of a newly issued series of preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock” having the rights, preferences, and redemption provisions set forth below (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The cash portion of the purchase price was financed with a combination of (i) cash on hand, (ii) a new $21.0 million secured debt facility from Valley National Bank (“Valley”), and (iii) a $12.0 million preferred equity investment by LC2-NNN Pref, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and affiliate of Loci Capital Partners (“LC2”). The investment by LC2 was made into a special purpose subsidiary of GIP Operating Partnership named GIP VB SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GIP SPE”), and each of the properties in the Portfolio was transferred in a separate newly formed special purpose subsidiary of GIP SPE. As a result of the foregoing transactions, GIP SPE serves as a holding company for the various indirect subsidiaries of the Company that hold the properties included in the Portfolio plus the eight previously owned properties held by GIP that were already financed through loans with Valley.
The acquisition of the Portfolio (the “Portfolio Acquisition”), as well as the loan with Valley and the financing transaction with LC2, all closed on August 10, 2023.
For purposes of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company, the GIP Operating Partnership, and their direct and indirect subsidiaries are sometimes referred to as “GIP.”
Purchase and Sale Agreement
In addition to customary terms relating to the purchase and sale of a portfolio of commercial properties, the material terms of the Purchase Agreement include (i) an agreement by Modiv to distribute the shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon the potential redemption by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock to Modiv’s shareholders and/or the holders of units of Modiv’s operating partnership (“Modiv OP Unit Holders”), subject to Modiv receiving the approval of its lenders to make such distribution and subject to the redemption conditions described below, (ii) an agreement by Modiv that it will promptly distribute or sell shares of Common Stock owned by it following such a redemption if Modiv’s ownership of Common Stock (together with any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock would be aggregated with Modiv’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) exceeds 19.9% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (iii) an agreement by the Company to prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement to register the distribution by Modiv to its shareholders and to Modiv OP Unit Holders and/or the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Purchase Agreement provides for an as-is/where-is purchase and sale with certain waivers, releases and covenants not to sue Seller and also contains additional covenants, representations and warranties, indemnifications, and other provisions that are generally customary for real estate purchase and sale agreements. In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted a waiver to Modiv from the ownership limitation set forth in the Company’s charter with respect to Modiv’s ownership of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock, if any, issuable upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is summary in nature, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company and Modiv entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 10, 2023 (the “RRA”), with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. The RRA provides that Modiv will have the right to cause the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Modiv or its assigns on a delayed or continuous basis if such shares are not redeemed by the Company on or before March 15, 2024. The RRA also provides that, commencing March 16, 2024 until March 16, 2025, if requested by Modiv, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Series A Preferred Stock to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or, if the Common Stock is not then listed, on a national securities exchange selected by Modiv, provided that the Series A Preferred Stock meets the listing requirements of any such securities exchange.
The foregoing description of the RRA is summary in nature, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the RRA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
LC2 Investment
In connection with the preferred equity investment by LC2, on August 10, 2023, GIP Operating Partnership and LC2 entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for GIP SPE (the “GIP SPE Operating Agreement”). In connection with such investment, GIP Operating Partnership also entered into an Agreement Providing Representations and Warranties, dated August 10, 2023, with LC2 pursuant to which GIP Operating Partnership made certain representations and warranties to LC2 in connection with LC2’s preferred investment (the “Rep and Warranty Agreement”).
Under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement, LC2 made a $12.0 million initial capital contribution to GIP SPE, together with a commitment to make an additional $2.1 million contribution upon the satisfactory completion of the acquisition of a tenant-in-common interest held by a third party in GIP’s Rockford, Illinois property (the “LC2 Investment). LC2 made the investment in exchange for a preferred equity interest in GIP SPE (the “Preferred Interest”). The Preferred Interest has a cumulative accruing distribution preference of 15.5% per year, compounded monthly (the “Preferred Return”), a portion of which in the amount of 5% per annum (compounded monthly) is deemed to be the “Current Preferred Return”, and the remainder of which in the amount of 10.5% per annum (compounded monthly) is deemed to be the “Accrued Preferred Return.”
The GIP SPE Operating Agreement provides that operating distributions by GIP SPE will be made first to LC2 to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Current Preferred Return, with the balance being paid to GIP Operating Partnership, unless the “annualized debt yield” of GIP SPE is less than 10%, in which case the balance will be paid to LC2. For this purpose, “annualized debt yield” is calculated as the sum of senior debt and LC2 Investment divided by the trailing three-month annualized adjusted net operating income (as defined in the GIP SPE Operating Agreement) of GIP SPE. The GIP SPE Operating Agreement also provides that distributions from capital transactions will be paid first to LC2 to satisfy any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return (comprised of both the Current Preferred Return and Accrued Preferred Return), then to LC2 until the “Make-Whole Amount” (defined as the amount equal to 1.3 times the LC2 Investment) is reduced to zero, and then to GIP Operating Partnership.
The Preferred Interest is required to be redeemed in full by GIP on or before August 10, 2024 the (“Mandatory Redemption Date”), for a redemption amount equal to the greater of (i) the amount of the LC2 Investment plus the accrued Preferred Return, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount. Upon a failure to timely redeem the Preferred Interest, the Preferred Return will accrue at an increased rate of 18% per annum, compounded monthly. GIP Operating Partnership will have the right to extend the Mandatory Redemption Date for two consecutive 12-month extension periods, provided that (i) LC2 is paid an extension fee of 0.01% of the outstanding amount of the LC2 Investment for each such extension, (ii) the Preferred Return is increased from 15.5% to 18% of which the Accrued Preferred Return is increased from 10.5% to 13%, (iii) the trailing 6-month annualized adjusted net operating income (as defined in the GIP SPE Operating Agreement) is in excess of $5.0 million, (iv) GIP SPE and its subsidiaries’ senior debt is extended through the end of the extension period, and there are no defaults under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement.
2
Under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement, GIP SPE is also required to pay to Loci Capital, an affiliate of LC2, an equity fee of 1.5% of the LC2 Investment, with 1% having been paid upon the execution and delivery of the GIP SPE Operating Agreement and the 0.5% payable upon redemption of the LC2 Investment.
GIP SPE is managed by a single manager, which is GIP Operating Partnership, provided that LC2’s approval will be required for certain major decisions of GIP SPE, including acquiring additional properties, selling properties (unless certain return objectives are satisfied), extending loans to any person or entity, merging or consolidating with another entity, approving annual budgets, deviating from the approved budget, and certain other actions by GIP SPE. Under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement, LC2 also has customary information rights and other rights that are customary for a preferred investor. LC2 has the right to remove and replace the manager of GIP SPE upon a “Manager Default”, which is defined by the GIP SPE Operating Agreement to include an uncured breach of the GIP SPE Operating Agreement by GIP Operating Partnership, a failure to pay the Current Preferred Return when due, a failure to redeem the LC2 Investment when required, or GIP Operating Partnership ceasing to be controlled by the Company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, David Sobelman.
The Rep and Warranty Agreement contains customary representations and warranties for an investment such as the LC2 Investment, together with related customary indemnification obligations by GIP Operating Partnership.
The foregoing description of the GIP SPE Operating Agreement and Rep and Warranty Agreement is summary in nature, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the GIP SPE Operating Agreement and Rep and Warranty Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.5 and 10.6 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
Loan Agreement and Note with Valley National Bank
On August 10, 2023, GIP13, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of GIP SPE (“GIP Borrower”), entered into a Loan Agreement with Valley (the “Valley Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Valley made a loan to GIP Borrower in the amount of $21.0 million (the “Valley Loan”) to finance the Portfolio Acquisition (the “Valley Loan Facility”). Pursuant to the Valley Loan Agreement, GIP Borrower executed and delivered to Valley a Promissory Note, dated August 10, 2023, in the original principal amount of $21.0 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 3.25%, with interest payable monthly after each 30-day interest period. However, the GIP Borrower has entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate at 7.47% per annum. Payments of interest and principal in the amount of approximately $156,000 are due and payable monthly, with all remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on a maturity date of August 10, 2028. The Valley Loan may generally be prepaid at any time without penalty in whole or in part, provided that there is no return of loan fees and prepaid financing fees.
The Valley Loan is secured by first mortgages and assignments of rents in the properties comprising the Portfolio and eight other properties held by subsidiaries of GIP SPE that had outstanding loans with Valley. All of the mortgaged properties cross collateralize the Loan, and the Loan is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of GIP Borrower that hold the properties subject to the Portfolio Acquisition. David Sobelman also entered into a personal, limited guarantee with a $7,500,000 cap, subject to customary non-recourse carveouts.
The Valley Loan Agreement requires GIP Borrower 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 GIP Borrower 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, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Valley Loan Agreement and Valley
3
Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
Redemption Agreements
In connection with the Portfolio Acquisition, the Valley Loan Facility, and the LC2 Investment, GIP Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries redeemed from four separate parties each of their respective entire equity interests in certain special-purpose subsidiaries of GIP Operating Partnership for an aggregate redemption price of $2.25 million. The redeemed parties were Brown Family Enterprises, LLC, Richard N. Hornstrom, and Stephen J. Brown. In connection with such redemptions, the applicable subsidiaries of GIP Operating Partnership entered into a Redemption Agreement with each of the redeemed parties, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10 hereto (the “Redemption Agreements”). Under the Redemption Agreements, GIP agreed to pay the redemption price in full to the redeemed party within 10 days of the date of the applicable Redemption Agreement. The Redemption Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. The Redemption Agreements were dated August 8, 2023, and became definitive material agreements of the Company on August 10, 2023, upon the completion of the Portfolio Acquisition and the related financing transactions with Valley and LC2.
The foregoing description of the Redemption Agreements is summary in nature, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Redemption Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
Amendment to Limited Partnership Agreement of GIP Operating Partnership
In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to Modiv, the Company, as general partnership of GIP Operating Partnership, adopted and entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Generation Income Properties, L.P., dated August 10, 2023 (the “LPA Amendment”). The LPA Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of GIP Operating Partnership, as amended, to provide for the establishment and issuance by GIP Operating Partnership to the Company of newly created Series A Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership in the same amount and having generally the same economic rights and preferences as the Series A Preferred Stock issued to Modiv.
The foregoing description of the LPA Amendment is summary in nature, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the LPA Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Lease Agreements
On August 10, 2023, in connection with the Portfolio Acquisition, certain subsidiaries of GIP Operating Partnership assumed existing lease agreements for each of the properties comprising the Portfolio. At the time of the Portfolio Acquisition, the Company deemed the leases for the following two properties included in the Portfolio to be material to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis: (i) a 50,000 square foot retail property located in San Antonio, Texas (the “San Antonio Property”) and (ii) a 33,118 square foot office property located in Maitland, Florida (the “Maitland Property”).
The San Antonio Property is a retail facility comprising 50,000 rentable square feet plus approximately 5 acres and a 171-space parking lot, which is 100% leased to pursuant to a lease, dated as of October 1 2013, and amended on April 8, 2016, March 31, 2021, June 2, 2021, and June 9, 2021, between RU Pre-K San Antonio, LLC, as landlord, and San Antonio Early Childhood Education Municipal Development Corporation, as tenant (the “San Antonio Lease”). The annual base rent of the San Antonio Lease at the time of the Portfolio Acquisition is approximately $924,000. The current term of the San Antonio Lease at the time of acquisition commenced on August 1, 2021 and expires on July 31, 2029, with one remaining eight-year renewal option at annual base rent of $1,035,000. Under the San Antonio Lease, in addition to base rent the tenant is responsible to reimburse landlord’s operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, management fees (not to exceed 2.5% of total operating expenses) and capital expenditures (at an annual amortization based on cost plus an 8% annual interest factor on the unamortized balance). The tenant pays to the landlord $31,607 per month in estimated operating expenses, which are subject to an annual reconciliation when actual expenses are known. So long as tenant is not in default under the San Antonio Lease, it

will have two options to purchase the property subject to such lease, as follows: on August 31, 2029, for a purchase price of approximately $14.8 million and on August 31, 2037, for a purchase price of approximately $16.6 million. In connection with the acquisition of the San Antonio Property, GIPTX 1235 Old Highway 90 West, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Leases with the seller of the San Antonio Property, dated August 10, 2023, pursuant to which the seller assigned and GIPTX 1235 Old Highway 90 West, LLC assumed all of the seller’s rights and obligations under the San Antonio Lease arising from and after such date.

The annual base rent of the Maitland Lease at the time of the Portfolio Acquisition is approximately $835,000, subject to annual increases of 3.5% per year through 2024, with the rent remaining fixed for the final two years of the current term. The current term of the Maitland Lease at the time of acquisition commenced on December 1, 2019 and expires on November 30, 2026, with one five-year renewal option. Under the Maitland Lease, the tenant is responsible for operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs, and maintenance, in addition to base rent. Commencing January 1, 2020, the landlord pays up to $6 per square foot per year towards tenant’s share of the operating expenses, subject to increases of 3.5% per year, through the end of the renewal option period, if exercised. In connection with the acquisition of the Maitland Property, GIPFL 2601 Westhall Lane, LLC entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Lease, Security Deposit and Guaranty with the seller of the Maitland Property, dated August 10, 2023, pursuant to which the seller assigned and GIPFL 2601 Westhall Lane, LLC assumed all of the seller’s rights and obligations under the Maitland Lease.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference. The Series A Preferred Stock issued to Modiv and Preferred Interest issued to LC2 were issued, and the Common Stock to be issued to Modiv upon the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock will be issued, solely to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws. Accordingly, the issuance of such securities was not and is not registered under the Securities Act, and until registered, these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration.
Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference. On August 10, 2023, in connection with the Portfolio Acquisition, the Company filed Articles Supplementary for the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Articles Supplementary”) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (“SDAT”) designating the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Articles Supplementary:
As set forth in the Articles Supplementary, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to all classes or series of the Common Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, when, as and if authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by the Company out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, are entitled to cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 9.5% per annum of the $5.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $0.475 per share, which shall increase to a rate of 12.0% of the $5.00 liquidation preference per share per annum, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $0.60 per share, beginning on September 15, 2024. Dividends are payable monthly in arrears on or about the 15th day of each month, beginning on September 15, 2023. Dividends will accrue and be cumulative from and including August 10, 2023, the first date on which shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued.
From the date of issuance until March 15, 2024, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the Company’s option for either (i) cash, in whole or in part, at a price per share equal to the $5.00 liquidation preference, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared), if any, until the redemption date on each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (the “Cash Redemption Price”) or (ii) subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Underlying Shares”), in whole only and not in part, equal to the Cash Redemption Price, divided by the share price of the Common Stock as measured by the product of (a) the 60-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) from the date immediately preceding the redemption date and (b) 110%. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be required to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in full shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Ceiling”) and the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be required to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in full shall be no less than 2,200,000 shares (the “Floor”); provided that the Ceiling will not apply if at any time after August 10, 2023, and before redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company fails to pay a monthly dividend on the Common Stock or reduces, or announces its intent to reduce, the monthly dividend paid on shares of Common Stock to a rate lower than $0.039 per share per month. Each of the Floor and the Ceiling is subject to proportionate adjustments for any share splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of the Common Stock), subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations with respect to the Common Stock as described in the Articles Supplementary.
In addition, the Company’s right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for the Underlying Shares is conditioned upon the Company obtaining the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of such Underlying Shares as required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market; such Underlying Shares being listed on Nasdaq; the SEC having declared a registration statement effective registering the distribution of such Underlying Shares by Modiv to its stockholders and/or the resale of such Underlying Shares by Modiv; and Modiv having received the approval of its lenders to distribute such Underlying Shares to its stockholders.
6
After March 15, 2024, the Company may only redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for the Cash Redemption Price, unless Modiv agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, to a redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock, on terms acceptable to Modiv.
The Company shall redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the Cash Redemption Price, upon the delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market.
In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the Company, the Company shall redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, at the option of Modiv, for either (a) cash, in an amount equal to the Cash Redemption Price, (b) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Cash Redemption Price divided by the price per share of the Common Stock as measured by the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 60 trading days immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration”) or (c) the kind and amount of consideration which Modiv would have owned or been entitled to receive had it held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control.

To the extent any transfer tax or similar tax is owed in connection with the assignment of this Agreement to such nominee, such tax shall be the sole at the sole cost and expense of Buyer. In such instance, Buyer shall have the right to partially assign this Agreement without Seller’s prior written consent. Upon such assignment of this Agreement to said nominee and the assumption by said nominee of Buyer’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Sites located in Pennsylvania, (i) Buyer shall be released and have no liability under this Agreement, and (ii) the term “Buyer” as used in this Agreement will be deemed to be said nominee.

Section 3. Dividends and other Distributions.

4
provided, however, that if any Series A Payment Date is not a Business Day, the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Series A Payment Date may be paid or set apart for payment on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid or set apart on such Series A Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Series A Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. Holders of record of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the applicable Series A Record Date will be entitled to receive the full dividend paid on the applicable Series A Payment Date even if such shares were not issued and outstanding for the full applicable Series A Dividend Period.
The initial dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock will cover the period from and including the Original Issue Date through August 31, 2023, and will be paid on September 15, 2023. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for each full Series A Dividend Period shall be computed by dividing $0.475 or $0.60, as applicable, by 12, regardless of the actual number of days in such full Series A Dividend Period. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any partial Series A Dividend Period shall be prorated and computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stockholder records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable Series A Record Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the dividend payable on each share of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on a Series A Record Date shall equal the dividend payable on each other share of Series A Preferred Stock that is outstanding on such Series A Record Date, and no holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock with a Series A Record Date before the date such share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued.
(b) No dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board of Directors or paid or declared and set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and conditions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibit such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment or provide that such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue with respect to any Series A Dividend Periods whether or not dividends are authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, from the later of the first date on which the Series A Preferred Stock is issued and the most recent Series A Payment Date on which dividends have been paid. No interest or additional dividend shall be payable in respect of any accrued and unpaid dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock.
(d) Except as provided in Section 3(e) below, no dividends shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared and made,
5
directly or indirectly, on or with respect to shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than a dividend paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of equity securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up), nor shall any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock be redeemed (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares), purchased or otherwise acquired (except (i) by exchange for shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, (ii) for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.05(b)(ii) and Section 4.05(c)(v) of Article IV of the Charter and (iii) for the purchase or acquisition of equity securities of the Corporation ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and any other shares of any other class or series of equity securities ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past Series A Dividend Periods shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment.
(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or declared and a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of equity securities ranking, with respect to dividend rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends (other than any acquisition of shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter or a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any such other class or series of equity securities ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights or rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up) declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of equity securities ranking, with respect to dividend rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall be allocated pro rata so that the amount declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other equally ranked classes or series of equity securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other equally ranked class or series of equity securities (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other classes or series of equity securities for prior Series A Dividend Periods if such other class or series of equity securities does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.
6
(f) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued and unpaid dividend.
(g) If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code or any successor revenue code or section) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the total distributions not in excess of the Corporation’s earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for such taxable year to holders of all classes and series of Shares (the “Total Distributions”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Distributions paid or made available to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock for such taxable year bears to the Total Distributions for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of Shares outstanding.
Section 4. Liquidation Preference.
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment of or provision for the Corporation’s debts and liabilities and any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, with respect to rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to the Series A Preferred Stock and before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of Common Stock or any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation ranking, with respect to rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders a liquidation preference of $5.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment (whether or not declared). If, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the distributions payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of securities of the Corporation ranking, with respect to rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of securities ranking, with respect to rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first-class mail, postage pre-paid, at least 20 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. After the holders of Series A Preferred Stock have received the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, they will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The
7
consolidation, conversion or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person, corporation, trust or entity, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation (whether in connection with a Change of Control or otherwise), shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.
In determining whether any distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of Shares or otherwise, is permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not be added to the Corporation’s total liabilities.
Section 5. Optional Redemption.
(a) The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable on or prior to March 15, 2024, except as provided in Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter or Section 5(b), Section 5(c) or Section 6 hereof.
(b) From the Original Issue Date through March 15, 2024, the Corporation, at its option, upon not fewer than 20 nor more than 60 days’ written notice as provided in Section 5(f) hereof, may redeem for cash the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to $5.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared) thereon, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, without interest. Additionally, subject to Section 5(h) and Modiv’s receipt of approval from its lenders to make a distribution of the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration (as defined below) to Modiv’s stockholders, from the Original Issue Date through March 15, 2024, the Corporation, at its option, upon not fewer than 20 nor more than 60 days’ written notice as provided in Section 5(f) hereof, may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole only and not in part, for a number of shares of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed equal to (i) $5.00, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared) on the Series A Preferred Stock, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, without interest, divided by (ii) the price per share of Common Stock as measured by the product of (A) the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 60 Trading Days immediately preceding the date such written notice is provided pursuant to this sentence, and (B) 110% (the “Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (i) if, and only if, all dividends accrued (whether or not authorized or declared) on the Series A Preferred Stock, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption have been paid as of the date fixed for redemption, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5(b), shall not exceed 3,000,000 (the “Ceiling”) and (ii) the minimum number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall be no less than 2,200,000 (the “Floor”), as the Floor and the Ceiling may be adjusted as provided below; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Ceiling shall apply or be in effect unless all dividends accrued (whether or not authorized or declared) on the Series A Preferred Stock, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption
8
have been paid as of the date fixed for redemption; and provided further, that no Ceiling shall apply or be in effect if at any time after the Original Issue Date and prior to the date that the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration has been received by the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation fails to pay a monthly dividend on the Common Stock or reduces, or announces its intent to reduce, the monthly dividend paid on shares of Common Stock to a rate lower than $0.039 per share per month, as such monthly dividend rate may be adjusted as a result of any Stock Split (as defined below), for the period commencing the month that includes the Original Issue Date and ending the month that includes the date that the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration has been received by the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.
The Floor and Ceiling are subject to pro rata adjustments for any stock splits (including those effected pursuant to a stock dividend), subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations (in each case, a “Stock Split”) with respect to the capital stock of the Corporation as follows: the adjusted Floor and Ceiling as the result of a Stock Split shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that is equivalent to the product of (i) the Floor or Ceiling, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to the Stock Split, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of all classes or series of common stock of the Corporation outstanding after giving effect to the Stock Split, on a fully diluted basis, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of all classes or series of common stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such Stock Split, on a fully diluted basis.
(c) The Corporation may redeem all or a part of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5 of these Articles Supplementary at any time and from time to time, whether before or after March 15, 2024, if the Board of Directors determines that such redemption is reasonably necessary for the Corporation to preserve the status of the Corporation as a qualified REIT. If the Corporation calls for redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 5(c), then the redemption price for such shares will be an amount in cash equal to $5.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared) thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, without interest.
(d) After March 15, 2024, the Corporation, at its option, upon not fewer than 20 nor more than 60 days’ written notice as provided in Section 5(f) hereof, may redeem for cash the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to $5.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared) thereon, to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, without interest; provided, however, that if Modiv Inc., a Maryland corporation, or any of its affiliates (collectively, “Modiv”) holds any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date fixed for redemption, Modiv, in its sole and absolute discretion, may allow the Corporation to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock after March 15, 2024 for shares of Common Stock instead of cash, provided that the terms and conditions of such redemption are acceptable to Modiv in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Holder Optional Redemption Right” and such to be determined consideration, the “Holder Optional Redemption Consideration”).

(e) Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past Series A Dividend Periods, the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchange for equity securities of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock or any other class or series of equity securities of the Corporation by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of Sections 5(b) or 5(c) hereof or Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter or the purchase or acquisition of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of all outstanding shares of any other class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
(f) Notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, as of a date set by the Corporation not fewer than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to such redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for such redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to shares held by a holder to whom notice was defective or not given. A redemption notice which has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not such holder received the redemption notice. In addition to any information required by law or the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each notice shall state (i) such redemption date; (ii) the redemption price, indicating the amount in cash and the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration to be received by such holder pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, as applicable; (iii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (and, if less than all the shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed from such holder); (iv) the place or places where such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment, together with the certificates, if any, representing such shares (duly endorsed for transfer) and any other documents the Corporation reasonably requires in connection with such redemption; and (v) that dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such redemption date.
(g) If less than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5(b), Section 5(c) or Section 5(d) hereof, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by lot. If such redemption is to be by lot, and if, as a result of such redemption, any holder of Series A Preferred Stock would own shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit or in violation of any of the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter, then, except as otherwise provided in the Charter, the Corporation will redeem the requisite number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such holder such that no holder will violate the Aggregate Share
10
Ownership Limit or any other restrictions on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter subsequent to such redemption.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, the Corporation will not be entitled to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof, if there is not an effective registration statement at the time of redemption covering the distribution and/or resale of the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration by Modiv, which registration statement shall be maintained as required by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in order for Modiv to effect such distribution and/or resale, as described in the registration statement, or if the Common Stock subject to the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration is not listed on Nasdaq. The Corporation shall comply with all Nasdaq rules in connection with any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock for the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof or the Holder Optional Redemption Consideration pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof, as applicable.
Section 6. Mandatory Redemption.
(a) During any period of time (whether before or after March 15, 2024) that the Common Stock is not listed on Nasdaq, but any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding (a “Delisting Event”), the Corporation shall, within 45 days of such Delisting Event, after sending written notice as provided in Section 6(c) hereof within 15 days of such Delisting Event, redeem for cash all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the occurrence of the Delisting Event, for a redemption price of $5.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (a “Delisting Event Mandatory Redemption”).
(b) In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Corporation shall, upon written notice not fewer than 15 days prior to the anticipated closing date of the Change of Control as provided in Section 6(c) hereof, redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Change of Control Mandatory Redemption”) on the Change of Control Redemption Date (as defined below) for cash at $5.00 per share plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared), if any, on the Series A Preferred Stock to, but not including, the Change of Control Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and in lieu of the redemption for cash provided in the foregoing sentence, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Corporation to redeem such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a number of shares of Common Stock or for the Alternative Redemption Consideration, as applicable, by following the procedures set forth in Section 8 hereof.
A “Change of Control” occurs when, after the Original Issue Date, the following has occurred and is continuing:
11
(c) Notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, as of a date set by the Corporation not fewer than 15 days prior to the anticipated closing date of the Change of Control, addressed to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as they appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for such redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock except as to a holder to whom notice was defective or not given. A redemption notice which has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not such holder received such redemption notice. In addition to any information required by law or the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series A Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment, together with the certificates, if any, representing such shares (duly endorsed for transfer) and any other documents the Corporation reasonably requires in connection with such redemption; (v) that the Series A Preferred Stock is being redeemed pursuant to the Delisting Event Mandatory Redemption or the Change of Control Mandatory Redemption, as applicable, in connection with the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control, as applicable, and a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Delisting Event or Change of Control, as applicable; (vi) that each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may, at its option, in lieu of or in addition to such redemption, require the Corporation to redeem some or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a number of shares of Common Stock by following the procedures set forth in Section 8 hereof, and (vii) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date.
Section 7. Additional Provisions Relating to Optional Redemption and Mandatory Redemption by the Corporation.
(a) If (i) notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been given, (ii) the funds necessary for such redemption have been set apart by the Corporation in trust for the benefit of the holders of any Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption or a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration or the Holder Optional Redemption Consideration, if applicable, has been duly
12
authorized and reserved by the Board of Directors, as applicable, and (iii) irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the redemption price of $5.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, or irrevocable instructions have been given to the Corporation’s transfer agent to issue the aggregate Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration or the Holder Optional Redemption Consideration, as applicable, then from and after such redemption date, dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be transferred except with the consent of the Corporation and all other rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price of $5.00 per share, plus (subject to Section 7(b) hereof) an amount equal to any dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared) payable upon such redemption, without interest, or the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration or the Holder Optional Redemption Consideration, as applicable.
(b) If a redemption date falls after a Series A Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Series A Payment Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the Series A Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Series A Payment Date, notwithstanding such redemption of such shares on or prior to the Series A Payment Date, but no additional amount for accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to, but not including the redemption date, will be included in the redemption price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
(c) For purposes of clause (a)(ii) above, if the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed for cash and not the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration or the Holder Optional Redemption Consideration, funds shall be deposited in trust with a bank or trust corporation and such deposit shall be irrevocable except that any balance of monies so deposited by the Corporation and unclaimed by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of one year from the applicable redemption dates shall be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, to the Corporation, and after any such repayment, the holders of the shares entitled to the funds so repaid to the Corporation shall look only to the Corporation for payment without interest or other earnings.
(d) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, holders shall be entitled to receive the cash value of the fractional shares based on the Common Stock Optional Redemption Consideration or the Holder Optional Redemption Consideration, as applicable.
Section 8. Holder Change of Control Share Redemption Right.
(a) Subject to Section 8(j) and the paragraph immediately below, and in addition to the Holder Optional Redemption Right, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control in which shares of Common Stock are not converted into cash, securities or other property or assets, and in lieu of the redemption for cash provided in the first sentence of Section 6(b) hereof, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to require the Corporation to redeem some or all of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Change of Control Share
13
Redemption Right”) on the Change of Control Redemption Date for a number of shares of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (the “Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration”), which is equal to (i) the sum of $5.00 plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not declared) on the Series A Preferred Stock to, but not including, the Change of Control Redemption Date (unless such Change of Control Redemption Date is after a Series A Record Date and prior to the corresponding Series A Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for accrued and unpaid dividends that have been declared and are to be paid on the Series A Payment Date will be included in such sum), divided by (ii) the price per share of Common Stock as measured by the VWAP of the Common Stock for the 60 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such Change of Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Change of Control pursuant to or in connection with which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, in lieu of the redemption for cash provided in the first sentence of Section 6(b) hereof, exercise the Change of Control Share Redemption Right to receive upon redemption of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8 (subject to the next-following paragraph) the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive had such holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control (the “Alternative Redemption Consideration” and, together with the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration, the “Change of Control Consideration”).
In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to or in connection with which shares of Common Stock shall be converted into Alternative Form Consideration and holders of Series A Preferred Stock have elected to exercise the Change of Control Share Redemption Right, in the event that holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in connection with the Change of Control, the Alternative Redemption Consideration that holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon exercise of the Change of Control Share Redemption Right shall be the form of consideration elected by the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders who participate in the election and shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of shares of Common Stock are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in connection with the Change of Control.
The “Change of Control Redemption Date” with respect to any Change of Control shall be a Business Day fixed by the Board of Directors that is not fewer than 5 days and not more than 20 days after the closing date of the Change of Control.
(b) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares, holders shall be entitled to receive the cash value of the fractional shares based on the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration.
(c) If a Change of Control Redemption Date falls after a Series A Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Series A Payment Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred
14
Stock at the close of business on the Series A Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Series A Payment Date, notwithstanding the redemption of such shares on or prior to the Series A Payment Date, but no additional amount for accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to, but not including the Change of Control Redemption Date, will be included in the determination of the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
(d) At least 15 days prior to the anticipated closing date of the Change of Control, a notice of the anticipated Change of Control describing the resulting Change of Control Share Redemption Right shall be delivered to the holders of record of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at their addresses as they appear on the Corporation’s stock transfer records. No failure to give the notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any share of Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given. Each notice shall state: (i) the events constituting the Change of Control; (ii) the anticipated closing date of the Change of Control; (iii) the last date on which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise their Change of Control Share Redemption Right, which shall be no less than 20 days following delivery of such notice; (iv) the method and period for calculating the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration; (v) the Change of Control Redemption Date; (vi) that any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not redeemed pursuant to the Change of Control Share Redemption Right shall be redeemed for cash by the Corporation on the Change of Control Redemption Date pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof; (vii) if applicable, the type and amount of Alternative Redemption Consideration entitled to be received per share of Series A Preferred Stock; (viii) the name and address of the paying agent and the redemption agent (the “Redemption Agent”); and (ix) the reasonable procedures that holders of Series A Preferred Stock must follow to exercise the Change of Control Share Redemption Right.
(e) The Corporation shall issue a press release for publication on the Dow Jones & Company, Inc., Business Wire, PR Newswire or Bloomberg Business News (or, if such organizations are not in existence at the time of issuance of such press release, another news or press organization as is reasonably calculated to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public) containing the information stated in the notice, and post the notice on the Corporation’s website, in any event prior to the opening of business on the first Business Day following the closing date of the Change of Control.
(f) In order to exercise the Change of Control Share Redemption Right, a holder of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be required to deliver, on or before the close of business on the Change of Control Redemption Date, the certificates, if any, representing any certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a completed written redemption notice and any other documents the Corporation reasonably requires in connection with the redemption, to the Redemption Agent. Such notice shall state: (i) the relevant Change of Control Redemption Date; and (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held in global form, such notice shall instead comply with applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
15
(g) Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may withdraw any notice of exercise of a Change of Control Share Redemption Right (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Redemption Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Change of Control Redemption Date. The notice of withdrawal must state: (i) the number of withdrawn shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) if certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been tendered for redemption and withdrawn, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and (iii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if any, which remain subject to the redemption notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are held in global form, the notice of withdrawal shall instead comply with applicable procedures of DTC.
(h) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to which the Change of Control Share Redemption Right has been properly exercised and for which the redemption notice has not been properly withdrawn shall be redeemed for the applicable Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration on the applicable Change of Control Redemption Date.
(i) The Corporation shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Consideration on the Change of Control Redemption Date.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, no holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to exercise a Change of Control Share Redemption Right or otherwise require the Corporation to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock to the extent that receipt of shares of Common Stock upon the redemption of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 8 would cause such person or any other person to violate Section 4.05 of Article IV of the Charter.
(k) In connection with the exercise of any Change of Control Share Redemption Right, the Corporation shall comply with all U.S. federal and state securities laws and stock exchange rules in connection with any redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for Change of Control Consideration.
Section 9. Voting Rights.
(a) Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth in this Section 9.

16
ranking senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares) with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
(c) The following actions shall not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock: any increase or decrease in the number of authorized Shares of any class or series, any increase in the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the classification or reclassification of any unissued Shares, or the creation or issuance of equity securities, of any class or series ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, provided that such action does not decrease the number of authorized shares of Common Stock below the number (after giving effect to all other outstanding shares capital stock) necessary to permit the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed in full in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of any Parity Preferred shall not be entitled to vote together as a single class with holders of Series A Preferred Stock on any amendment, alteration, repeal or other change to any provision of the Charter or Bylaws, including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, unless such action affects holders of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Preferred equally. On any matter in which the Series A Preferred Stock may vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote, except that, in class votes, or in determining the percentage of outstanding shares, when voting together as a single class, with shares of one or more class or series of Parity Preferred, shares of different classes and series shall vote, or such determination shall be made, in proportion to the liquidation preference of such shares. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive voting rights on any Charter or Bylaw amendment that would alter the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Charter or Bylaws, of only the Series A Preferred Stock.
(e) The foregoing voting provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption in cash upon proper notice and sufficient funds, in cash, shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption, in each case, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

17

Section 11. Conversion.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into any other property or securities of the Corporation or any other entity, except as otherwise set forth herein or in Article IV of the Charter.
Section 12. Ranking.
In respect of rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Common Stock and to all other equity securities issued by the Corporation, the terms of which expressly provide that such securities rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; (ii) on parity with all equity securities issued by the Corporation, the terms of which expressly provide that such securities rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and (iii) junior to all equity securities issued by the Corporation, the terms of which expressly provide that such securities rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Corporation’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

Section 15. Record Holders.
The Corporation may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Series A Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Except as may be otherwise provided by the Board of Directors (and except in connection with a global certificate held by a securities depositary), holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock held by them.
18
Section 16. Sinking Fund.
The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to the benefits of any retirement or sinking fund.
Section 17. Physical Certificate Request.

Section 18. Headings of Subdivisions.
The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
Section 19. Severability of Provisions.
If any preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Charter, including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, are invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Charter (including the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision thereof shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect and no preferences, rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision thereof unless so expressed therein.

Annex A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
A Selling Stockholder which is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of its securities to its respective members, partners or stockholders. To the extent that such members, partners, or stockholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker‑dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers‑dealers to participate in sales. Broker‑dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker‑dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or in a transaction in which the applicable registration rights of the Selling Stockholders are not assigned pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and Modiv Inc., (ii) such securities shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates or book entry provisions for such securities not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and subsequent public distribution of such securities shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (iii) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; or (iv) such securities may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC) without limitation as to volume and manner of sale or public information requirements. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to such securities for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
We are registering the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for resale by the selling stockholder listed below. On August [__], 2023, we issued to the selling stockholder 2,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as partial consideration for the sale by the selling stockholder of a portfolio of 13 properties (the “Portfolio Acquisition”), pursuant to an agreement of purchase and sale (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among us, our operating partnership, the selling stockholder and each entity identified as a “Seller” on Schedule A of the Purchase Agreement. The issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock was made in reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. In accordance with our obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement entered into between us and the selling stockholder, we agreed to register the resale of the Series A Preferred Stock offered by the selling stockholder hereby. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and the amendments thereto are attached as exhibits to our [Current Report on Form 8-K filed on [__________], 2023].
The selling stockholder does not currently hold, and has not held within the past three years, any position or office with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, nor does the selling stockholder currently have, and has not had within the past three years, any other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates except as a result of the selling stockholder’s ownership of our Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Portfolio Acquisition.
The information contained in the table below in respect of the selling stockholder has been obtained from the selling stockholder and has not been independently verified by us. The information set forth in the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after resale of shares is based upon the assumption that the selling stockholder will sell all of the shares owned by it and covered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Exhibit 10.4
PROMISSORY NOTE
$21,000,000.00 August 10, 2023
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GIP13, 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 Twenty-One Million and No/100 Dollars ($21,000,000.00), 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:
(30) day period ending fifteen (15) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to
Loan Number 4100140285
the last day of each Interest Rate Period; 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.
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 August 10, 2028 (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 180 Fountain Parkway N, Suite 200, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, 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 tennination 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 337162.
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 (l 0) 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.

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, then except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), each Member shall be specially allocated Net Profit or other income items for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such fiscal year determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(a) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted in accordance with such Regulation.
(b) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, each Member who has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be specially
16
allocated items of Net Profits and other items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2 is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently with such Regulation.

This Section 5.2(c) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently with such Regulation.
(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Person would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.2(d) were not in the Agreement.
(e) Allocation of Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating subsequent Net Profits, Net Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of subsequent Net Profits, Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) shall be made: (i) by taking into account Regulatory Allocations which, although not made yet, are likely to be made in the future; and (ii) only to the extent the Loci Member reasonably determines that such curative allocations are appropriate in order to realize the intended economic agreement among the Members.

(b) Items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the traditional method of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value.

(ii) such Covered Person being or acting in connection with the business of the Company as a member, stockholder, affiliate, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, any Member, or any of their respective Affiliates, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any Person including the Company; provided that, (A) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and/or within the scope of such Covered Person’s authority conferred on it by the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful, and (B) such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud or willful misconduct.
(f) The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.7; provided that, if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by Section 6.7, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.
(g) The indemnification provided by Section 6.7 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of Section 6.7 shall continue to afford protection
23
to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under Section 6.7 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such Covered Person.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in Section 6.7 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing) shall have personal liability on account of such indemnification obligation or shall be required to make any Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity by the Company.
(i) If Section 6.7 or any portion of it shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to Section 6.7 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of Section 6.7 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
(j) The provisions of Section 6.7 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while Section 6.7(d) is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification or repeal of Section 6.7 that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.
(k) The provisions of Section 6.7 shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up and termination of the Company.
6.8 Officers. The Manager may appoint in writing, from time to time, such officers or approved persons of the Company as the Manager deems necessary or advisable, each of whom shall have such title, powers, authority and responsibilities (including without limitation, the power and authority to sign documents on behalf of the Company) as are delegated by the Manager from time to time; provided, however, that the Manager may only delegate power, authority and responsibility as is granted by this Agreement to the Manager.

6.10 Enforcement of Agreements with Generation Member Affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Company has entered into an agreement with an Affiliate of the Generation Member, the Loci Member shall have the sole right and authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to the enforcement of the rights and
24
remedies of the Company and defaults under any such Affiliate Agreement (including, without limitation, the exercise of any applicable right of termination in accordance with its terms).
6.11 Management of Subsidiaries.

The fees contemplated by this Section 6.12 shall be treated as guaranteed payments pursuant to Section 707(c) of the Code.

(a) It has been advised to engage, and has engaged, its own counsel (whether in-house or external) and any other advisors it deems necessary and appropriate. By reason of its business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of its own attorneys, accountants and financial advisors (which advisors, attorneys and accountants are not Affiliates of the Company or any other Party), it is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Membership Interest and of protecting its own interests in connection with this investment. Nothing in this Agreement should or may be construed to allow any Member to rely upon the advice of counsel acting for another Member or to create an attorney-client relationship between a Member and counsel for another Member.
(b) It is acquiring the Membership Interest for investment purposes for its own account only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of all or a part of the Membership Interest.
(c) It is familiar with the definition of “accredited investor” in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and it represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of that rule.
(d) It is not required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning ascribed to such term by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and covenants that it shall at no time while it is a Member of the Company conduct its business in a manner that requires it to register as an “investment company”.
(e) Each Person owning a Ten Percent (10%) or greater interest in such Member (i) is not currently identified on the “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List” maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury (or any other similar list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation), (ii) is not a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of U.S. law, regulation, or executive order of the President of the United States, and (iii) such Member has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations and warranties remain true and correct at all times. This Section 12.14(e) shall not apply to any Person to the extent that such Person’s interest in the Member is through either (i) a Person (other than an individual) whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange, or quoted on an automated quotation system, in the United States, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such a Person or (ii) an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
(f) It shall comply with all requirements of law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect and shall immediately notify the other Parties in writing if it becomes aware that any of the foregoing representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or if the Member has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached.
40
12.15 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for each Covered Person, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no provision of this Agreement is intended to benefit any party other than the Members hereto and their successors and assigns in the Company and no provision hereof shall be enforceable by any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, no creditor of, or other Person doing business with the Company shall be a beneficiary of, or have the right to enforce, any of the provisions of this Agreement.
12.16 Tax Controversies.
(a) Appointment. The Members hereby appoint the Manager (or, if required by applicable law, an individual to be designated by the Generation Member) as the “partnership representative” (the “Partnership Representative”) .
(b) Tax Examinations and Audits. The Partnership Representative is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense with the consent of the Members) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by any taxing authority, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds with the consent of the Members for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Member agrees that such Member will not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation of the Company, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Partnership Representative, which authorization may be withheld by the Partnership Representative in its sole and absolute discretion. The Partnership Representative shall promptly notify the Members if any tax return of the Company is audited and upon the receipt of a notice of final partnership administrative adjustment or final partnership adjustment. Without the consent of the Members (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed), the Partnership Representative shall not extend the statute of limitations, file a request for administrative adjustment, file suit relating to any Company tax refund or deficiency or enter into any settlement agreement relating to items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company with any taxing authority.
(c) BBA Elections and Procedures. The Partnership Representative, with the consent of the Loci Member, if applicable, (such consent not to be unreasonably delayed), shall have the right to make any and all elections and to take any actions that are available to be made or taken by the Partnership Representative or the Company under Section 1101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, (including any election under Code Section 6226). If an election under Code Section 6226(a) is made, the Company shall furnish to each Member for the year under audit a statement of the Member’s share of any adjustment set forth in the notice of final partnership adjustment, and each Member shall take such adjustment into account as required under Code Section 6226(b).
(d) Tax Returns and Tax Deficiencies. Each Member agrees that such Member shall not treat any Company item on such Member’s federal, state, foreign or other income tax return inconsistently with the treatment of the item on the Company’s return. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Member (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes and any tax deficiency imposed pursuant to Code Section 6226) will be paid by such Member and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Company, such Member shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any and all amounts so paid. The immediately preceding sentence shall survive a Member no longer being a member of the
41
Company. To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make an election under Code Section 6221(b) or Code Section 6226, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) make any modifications available under Code Section 6225(c)(3),(4), and (5), and (ii) if requested by a Member, provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended federal income tax return, as described in Code Section 6225(c)(2), to the extent such amended return and payment of any related federal income taxes would reduce any taxes payable by the Company.
(e) Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and reimburse, to the fullest extent provided by law, the Partnership Representative for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees (as such fees are incurred), claims, liabilities, losses, and damages incurred in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Members or any action taken by the Partnership Representative acting in its capacity as such, the payment of which shall be made before any cash distributions are made to the Members.
(f) Resignation. The Partnership Representative may resign at any time. If the Manager ceases to be the Partnership Representative for any reason, a new Partnership Representative shall be appointed with the unanimous consent of the Members.

(b) That in its capacity as counsel, Berger Singerman LLP has represented the Loci Member which interests might conflict with those of the Company and/or the Generation Member, and the Company has not had its own counsel representing its interests, and that in its capacity as counsel, Trenam Law has represented the Generation Member which interests might conflict with those of the Company and/or the Loci Member, and the Company has not had its own counsel representing its interests;
(c) Each Member has been advised to seek independent counsel, to the extent each deems appropriate, to protect each of their interests in connection with any of the Agreement or the related agreements, including without limitation advice as to the tax consequences of entering into the Agreement;
(d) That the Generation Member will look solely to, and rely upon, its own advisers, and not Berger Singerman LLP, with respect to the legal, financial and tax consequences
42
of this investment, and the Loci Member will look solely to, and rely upon, its own advisers, and not Trenam Law, with respect to the legal, financial and tax consequences of this investment; and
(e) The Loci Member agrees that Trenam Law may be legal counsel to the Generation Member, its Affiliates, the Company, and the Company’s Subsidiaries, and that the Manager, on behalf of the Company, may consent to Trenam Law’s representation of any of the foregoing parties and/or execute any waiver reasonably requested by Trenam Law pursuant to the rules of professional conduct or similar rules in any jurisdiction.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 14, 2023
Generation Income Properties (Nasdaq: GIPR) Completes Acquisition of $42 Million, Thirteen (13) Property Portfolio
TAMPA, FLORIDA - Generation Income Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIPR) (“GIPR” or the “Company”) announced the closing of a 13-property portfolio for total consideration of $42 million on August 10, 2023. The portfolio consists of eleven (11) retail properties and two (2) office properties, and approximately 76% of the annualized base rent attributable to the portfolio is derived from tenants who have (or whose parent company has) an investment grade credit rating from a recognized credit rating agency of "BBB-" or better.
The portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 5.6 years, is approximately 202,000 square feet and 100% occupied. The transaction increases GIPR’s geographic footprint from eight (8) to thirteen (13) states and increases the total number of properties owned to twenty-six (26), including one property owned in a tenant-in-common structure.
The purchase price for the portfolio was $42 million, excluding estimated transaction costs and expenses of $1.6 million, consisting of $30 million paid in cash and $12 million paid in shares of a newly issued series of preferred stock of GIPR designated as “Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.” The cash portion of the purchase price was financed with a combination of cash on hand, a new $21.0 million secured debt facility and a $12 million preferred equity investment in a special purpose subsidiary of GIPR’s operating partnership. The preferred equity investment was led by real estate private equity firm, Loci Capital. Industry veteran and Loci’s Head of Capital Markets, Garrett Francis noted, “We’ve been extremely impressed with Generation Income Properties throughout the investment process,” and added, “We hope that this first investment will mark the beginning of a long-term relationship with GIPR.”
“We believe that this acquisition showcases to the market our ability to identify accretive acquisition opportunities and consummate larger transactions regardless of wider market dislocations. We believe that our patient and disciplined approach to acquisitions over the past year positioned us to take advantage of this opportunity when presented, and the portfolio makeup fits our investment thesis nicely. We look forward to continuing to show the market our ability to creatively grow, identify additional acquisition opportunities, and realize the potential accretive effects of this acquisition on our overall portfolio and Company. We’d like to thank Aaron Halfacre, CEO of Modiv Industrial., the seller of the portfolio, and his team for their diligent work in facilitating this transaction. We believe the relationship we have built with this net lease REIT peer and the confidence they have placed in GIPR will benefit both of our shareholder bases. We look forward to continuing to manage the
portfolio with the same level of professionalism displayed by Modiv,” said David Sobelman, CEO of GIPR.
Aaron Halfacre, CEO of Modiv Industrial (NYSE: MDV) stated, “I am pleased that GIPR and Modiv Industrial were able to deliver a mutually beneficial transaction to our collective shareholders. Given Modiv’s publicly stated goal of selling our non-industrial assets, finding a new owner for these high-quality assets in a timely manner that also had the management expertise to increase their value was important to us. Having known David and his team for several years, I am confident that these assets are in good hands.”
