This TENANTS IN COMMON AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated effective as of August 2, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into between GIPIL 525 S PERRYVILLE RD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GIPIL”), and SUNNY RIDGE MHP, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Sunny Ridge”) (each sometimes hereinafter also referred to as a “Tenant in Common”, and collectively referred to herein as the “Tenants in Common”).
WHEREAS, the Tenants in Common will acquire as tenants in common, and not as partners or joint venturers, the percentage undivided interests (each, an “Interest”) set forth in Exhibit A in certain real property and improvements, as more particularly described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Property”);
WHEREAS, the Tenants in Common desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for the orderly administration of their rights and responsibilities as to each other and as to others and to delegate authority and responsibility for the intended further operation and management of the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Property is subject to a loan (the “Loan”) secured by a Mortgage encumbering the Property (the “Mortgage”) in favor of American Momentum Bank (together with its successor and assigns, “Lender”) (the Mortgage and other documents, agreements, and instruments evidencing, securing, or delivered to the Lender in connection with the Loan are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”).
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. Nature of Relationship Between Co-Tenants. The Tenants in Common shall each hold their respective interests in the Property, in such percentages as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, as tenants in common. The Tenants in Common do not intend by this Agreement to create a partnership or a joint venture, but merely to set forth the terms and conditions upon which each of them shall hold their respective interests in the Property. The Tenants in Common do not intend or desire to create a partnership or joint venture with the Property Manager (as defined in Section 2.1 below). Each Tenant in Common hereby elects to be excluded from the provisions of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to the joint ownership of the Property. The exclusion elected by the Tenants in Common hereunder shall commence with the execution of this Agreement. Each Tenant in Common hereby covenants and agrees that each Tenant in Common shall report on such Tenant in Common’s respective federal and state income tax returns such Tenant in Common’s respective share of items of income, deduction, and credits which result from holding the Property in a manner consistent with exclusion of the Tenants in Common from Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Code, commencing with the first taxable year of the tenancy in common created by this Agreement. No Tenant in Common shall notify the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that such Tenant in Common desires that Subchapter K of the Code apply to the Tenants in Common and each Tenant in Common hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold the other Tenant in Common free and harmless from all costs, liabilities, tax consequences, and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, which may result from any Tenant in Common so notifying such Commissioner in violation of this Agreement or otherwise taking a contrary position on any tax return. Except as expressly provided herein, no Tenant in Common is authorized to act as agent for, to act on behalf of, or to do any act that will bind any other Tenant in Common or to incur any obligations with respect to the Property.
