[__________], L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of IPC (the “Depositor”) and the Operating Partnership are affiliates.

D.
The Trust is offering beneficial interests in the Trust (collectively, the “Beneficial Interests”) to “accredited investors” (as such term is defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offering (the “Offering”) made pursuant to that certain Program Summary dated as of [__________], 20[__] (as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “PS”) and the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated as of [__________], 20[__], as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, including any applicable Pricing Supplement (collectively, the “PPM”).

F.
In connection with the acquisition of their respective Beneficial Interests, the Beneficial Owners will enter into the Trust Agreement, which will govern the terms of the Trust and the rights and obligations of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Trust and the Trust’s interest in the Property.
G.

8145872.11
I.
In connection with the acquisition of their respective Beneficial Interests, each Beneficial Owner will enter into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) designating the class of OP Units (as defined below) that the Beneficial Owner will receive in the event that the Operating Partnership exercises the FMV Option.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as set forth below.
1.
Grant of Call Rights. The Beneficial Owners, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, including, without limitation, persons or entities who become owners of a Beneficial Interest, hereby grant to the Operating Partnership the right, but not the obligation, exercisable in the Operating Partnership’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Beneficial Owners’ Beneficial Interests pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “FMV Option”). Upon the exercise of the FMV Option, any Beneficial Owner holding a Beneficial Interest will have the obligation to sell such Beneficial Interest to the Operating Partnership subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Operating Partnership, in its sole and absolute discretion, may assign its rights under this Agreement to any wholly-owned subsidiary or successor entity of the Operating Partnership, so long as it is in exchange for OP Units and not subsidiary units, or any party acquiring, or the successor to, a significant portion of the Operating Partnership’s assets. The Operating Partnership, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall reasonably determine what portion of the Operating Partnership’s assets constitutes a “significant portion” for purposes of the preceding sentence. The grant of call rights under this Section 1 shall survive the conversion of the Trust into a Delaware limited liability company, shall survive the exchange of Beneficial Interests for limited liability company interests, each pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Trust Agreement, and shall apply to the membership interest of the “springing limited liability company.”
2.
Exercise. The Operating Partnership may exercise the FMV Option:
2.1.
during the three-month period that begins on the 24-month anniversary of the final closing of the sale of Beneficial Interests pursuant to the Offering, or other earlier termination of the Offering (the “Offering Termination Date”), which Offering Termination Date will be communicated to the Operating Partnership by the signatory trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”);
2.2.
during the three-month period that begins on the 36-month anniversary the Offering Termination Date; and
2.3.
during the three-month period that begins on the 48-month anniversary of the Offering Termination Date (each such period, the “Option Exercise Period”).
The Operating Partnership will exercise its FMV Option by delivering a written notice (“Notice of FMV Option Exercise”) to each Beneficial Owner (such date of delivery, the “FMV Exercise Date”). The Trustee shall cooperate fully, or cause the Trust to cooperate fully, with the Operating Partnership in facilitating the delivery and return of the Notice of FMV Option Exercise.
2
The Trust agrees not to sell the Property to any third party, or accept any third-party offer to purchase the Property, until all Option Exercise Periods have closed.
3.
Purchase Price.
3.1.
Subject to Section 4.6, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Beneficial Interests, in the aggregate, will be calculated as follows:
3.1.1.
the Real Estate FMV determined pursuant to Section 5 plus any funds remaining in the Trust’s reserve account as of the FMV Exercise Date, reduced by
3.1.2.
any remaining principal on any loan secured by a blanket lien on the Property and any accrued but unpaid expenses or other liabilities encumbering the Property as of the FMV Exercise Date, which in each case will be assumed, taken subject to, or paid off by the Operating Partnership.
3.2.
The Purchase Price for each Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest (for each Beneficial Owner, the “Pro Rata Interest Price”) will be calculated on an individual basis by multiplying (i) such Beneficial Owner’s relative percentage ownership interest in the Trust by (ii) the Purchase Price determined by Section 3.1.
4.
Form of Payment. The Operating Partnership will pay the Pro Rata Interest Price for each Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest by issuing to the Beneficial Owner limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) of the class that was designated at purchase of Beneficial Interest in the Subscription Agreement or, at the discretion of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the terms of Section 4.4, cash and, except as provided in Section 4.4, a Beneficial Owner shall have no right, and hereby waives any right it may otherwise possess, to receive payment in any other form.
4.1.
The number of OP Units a Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to receive shall be equal to:
4.1.1.
the Pro Rata Interest Price payable to such Beneficial Owner determined under Section 3, divided by
4.1.2.
the most recently disclosed NAV for the applicable class of OP Units at the Option Closing Date.
The “NAV” means the most recently disclosed net asset value, as determined in accordance with valuation procedures approved by ALT REIT’s board of directors, which net asset value is expected to be determined on a monthly basis.
4.2.
Each Beneficial Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event Beneficial Owner receives OP Units as provided for herein, upon the redemption of such OP Units for shares of ALT REIT common stock or cash pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership, dated as of June 27, 2024 (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented, the
3
“Partnership Agreement”), a redemption fee (the “Redemption Fee”) of up to 1.0% of the shares or cash will be deducted from the shares or cash such Beneficial Owner would receive and such Redemption Fee will be paid to IPC Alternative Real Estate Advisor, LLC (“Advisor”), all as more particularly set forth in the PS and PPM.
4.3.
In the event OP Units are acquired (for cash or securities), transferred, merged, converted, tendered, or disposed of in any other similar transaction (each a “Unit Transaction”), then, unless Advisor otherwise agrees in its reasonable discretion (which may include requiring that any applicable counterparty execute an agreement agreeing to continue to collect and remit such Redemption Fee following the Unit Transaction), the Operating Partnership will be obligated to collect the Redemption Fee in connection with the closing of such Unit Transaction and remit the same to Advisor.
4.4.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, the Operating Partnership may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pay for a Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest in cash instead of OP Units if (each, a “Disqualifying Act”):
4.4.1.
the Beneficial Owner or its direct or indirect owner is indicted or convicted of fraud or embezzlement or enters a guilty plea or a plea of nolo contendere with respect to any charge of fraud or embezzlement;
4.4.2.
the Beneficial Owner or its direct or indirect owner is indicted or convicted of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude;
4.4.3.
the Beneficial Owner or its direct or indirect owner becomes bankrupt;
4.4.4.
the Operating Partnership determines that participation in the Operating Partnership or ALT REIT is likely to result in a violation of law or the rules or regulations of any governmental agency or other authority having jurisdiction over such Beneficial Owner, the Operating Partnership or ALT REIT, or will otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership or ALT REIT;
4.4.5.
the direct or indirect owner of the Beneficial Owner dies’ or
4.4.6.
the Beneficial Owner ceases to qualify (whether by reason of its own change in status or a change in the status of its direct or indirect owner(s)) as an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
4.5.
For purposes of Section 4.4, a Beneficial Owner or its direct or indirect owner shall be considered “bankrupt” if such Beneficial Owner or its direct or indirect owner:
4.5.1.
is unable to pay its debts as they come due, including any debt associated with its Beneficial Interest;
4
4.5.2.
admits in writing to its inability to pay debts as they come due, including any debt associated with its Beneficial Interest;
4.5.3.
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
4.5.4.
files any petition or answer seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent;
4.5.5.
seeks liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of its debts;
4.5.6.
seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar official or for any substantial part of its property;
4.5.7.
is the subject of the entry of an order for relief or approval of a petition for relief or reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future bankruptcy, insolvency or similar statute, law or regulation or the filing of any such petition that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days; or
4.5.8.
is the subject of the entry of an order appointing a trustee, custodian, receiver or liquidator with respect to all or any substantial portion of its property, which order is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.
4.6.
If the Operating Partnership elects to acquire a Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest for cash under Section 4.4 due to the occurrence of a Disqualifying Act involving such Beneficial Owner, the Purchase Price received by such Beneficial Owner will equal:
4.6.1.
the Beneficial Owner’s pro rata portion of the then Real Estate FMV determined under Section 5 plus any funds remaining in the Trust’s reserve account as of the FMV Exercise Date, reduced by
4.6.2.
a pro rata portion of any loan served by a blanket lien on the Property and any accrued but unpaid expenses or other liabilities encumbering the Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest, which in each case will be assumed, taken subject to or paid off by the Operating Partnership; and
4.6.3.
the actual, reasonable and customary expenses associated with a cash sale of the Beneficial Interest (these expenses in this Section 4.6.3 in the aggregate not to exceed four percent (4%) of the gross fair market value of such Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest).
4.7.
An election by the Operating Partnership to purchase a Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest in exchange for cash under the circumstances under Section 4.4 shall not give any other Beneficial Owner the right to insist on payment for such other Beneficial Owner’s Beneficial Interest in any form other than OP Units.
5
5.
Determination of Real Estate FMV.
5.1.
Calculation of Real Estate FMV. For purposes of calculating the Purchase Price of the Beneficial Interests, the then-fair market value of the Property (the “Real Estate FVM”) shall be determined by an independent third-party appraiser selected by the Operating Partnership (and obtained within six months of the FMV Exercise Date) and reviewed by SitusAMC Real Estate Valuation Services, LLC (or replacement independent valuation advisor selected by the Company’s board of directors); provided, that, for purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to this Section 5, the Real Estate FMV shall not account for the fact that the Property is subject to the Master Lease and shall not take into consideration any discounts for lack of liquidity or minority interests. The Real Estate FMV shall be specified in the Notice of FMV Option Exercise.
5.2.
Trustee Valuation Process. The Trustee will have the right to hire its own independent appraiser to prepare a separate valuation (the “Trustee Valuation”), provided, however that any Trustee Valuation must be prepared and circulated to the Operating Partnership not later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Notice of FMV Option Exercise. If the fair market value for the Beneficial Interests reflected in the Trustee Valuation is greater than the fair market value for the Beneficial Interests reflected in the appraisal for the Operating Partnership, and the difference between the two appraisals is 5% or more of the fair market value for the Beneficial Interests reflected in the Operating Partnership’s valuation, then the Real Estate FMV will be the average of the two appraisals. In all other circumstances, the Real Estate FMV will be as specified in the Notice of FMV Option Exercise.
