Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 1, 2011, we entered into an arrangement with 512 Lending LLC, pursuant to which the parties have agreed that until December 2014, neither party shall, with specified exceptions, enter into an agreement to make certain loans without first offering the other party the opportunity to participate in the making of such loan. Either party may terminate this arrangement for any reason on not less than 60 days prior written notice. It is generally anticipated that:
|
●
|
512 Lending will fund between 50% to 80% of the principal amount of loans we originate and in which they elect to participate and that we will fund up to 20% of the principal amount of loans they originate and in which we elect to participate.
|
|
●
|
The originating lender will be entitled to retain an annual servicing fee of 0.5% of the principal amount of performing loans and 1.0% of the principal amount of non-performing loans.
|
|
●
|
The originating lender takes the first half point of any origination fee and the balance of such fee is shared by the parties based on their percentage participation in the loan.
|
|
●
|
Each of originating lender and the non-originating lender shall receive on an applicable loan, distributions of monies on a pro-rata basis based upon their applicable participation percentages until such time as the non-originating lender receives an internal rate of return of 10% per year compounded quarterly, at which time the non-originating lender shall receive further distributions based upon 75% of its participation percentage and the originating lender will receive the balance of sums to be distributed with respect to such loan.
