ITEM 5. FEES AND COMPENSATION
A. Investment Management Fee
The Adviser charges each Client an investment management fee at a rate of up to two
percent (2.0%) per annum of the Client’s net asset value of the Client’s Portfolio (“NAV”)
calculated in accordance with the Adviser’s valuation policies or other agreed-upon
generally accepted metrics described in the applicable Advisory Agreement.
With respect to Cottonwood Funds that allocate the obligation to pay the investment
management fee to their Investors, with the consent of the Adviser, the applicable
Cottonwood Fund GP will from time to time reduce the portion of the investment
management fee allocable to an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Cottonwood
Fund’s Governing Documents (as defined below), which agreement the Adviser will honor.
The investment management fee is generally calculated, charged, and invoiced quarterly
in arrears and paid by the Client. The investment management fee applicable to a Client’s
separately managed account may be calculated, charged, and invoiced when the Portfolio
is repaid or sold. In the event the entire Portfolio is repaid or sold, or if the applicable
Advisory Agreement is terminated before the end of a calendar quarter, we will prorate our
fee on a daily basis and refund to the Client the unearned portion of our fee, if any. A
refund of our fee will typically be made within ten (10) business days after the settlement
of the repayment or sale, as applicable, of the Investment(s), or termination of the Advisory
Agreement.
B. Other Fees Payable to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Client will also pay the Adviser: (i) an origination fee with respect to Debt Investments
originated by the Client in an amount not to exceed one percent (1%) of the maximum loan
amount; (ii) an acquisition fee with respect to existing Debt Investments acquired from
third parties in an amount not to exceed one percent (1%) of the gross purchase price of
such Investment; and (iii) an acquisition fee with respect to Equity Investments in an
amount not to exceed one percent (1%) of the gross purchase price of such Investment.
Each Client may be subject to regulatory fees, transaction costs, custodian and
sub-custodian fees, professional fees, consulting fees, insurance premiums, deductibles and
retainage, interest and other loan and financing fees, reasonable travel costs, and other costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, research, diligence, evaluation,
acquisition, financing, ownership, monitoring, managing, operating and disposing of
Projects, regardless of whether the Client realizes any profits. Each Client will also
reimburse the Adviser for a proportionate share of fees and costs of third-party service
providers, such as insurance premium payments and fees and costs payable to a compliance
consultant retained to assist the Adviser with its regulatory compliance obligations. The
Client will reimburse the Adviser for reasonable travel expenses incurred in carrying out
its duties under the applicable Advisory Agreement. Travel expenses incurred on behalf
of multiple Clients will be equitably allocated among the applicable Clients. Each Project
is subject to development management fees, property management fees, leasing
commissions, sale commissions, and financing origination fees payable to third parties. In
negotiating fees payable to third-party service providers, we make commercially
reasonable efforts to minimize those costs. Subject to the private placement memorandum
(the “PPM”), organizational documents and other related documents (collectively, the
“Governing Documents”) of the applicable Client, an affiliate of the Adviser will receive
arm’s-length compensation for any services (that would otherwise be provided by a
third-party) that it provides to a Project in which one or more Clients have invested. We
do not typically charge a set-up fee.
In certain cases, a co-investment vehicle, a parallel vehicle or other similar vehicle
established to facilitate the investment by one or more Investors of a Client alongside such
Client (“Co-Investor”) may participate in the origination or acquisition of an Investment.
In these cases, the Adviser will enter into a separate Advisory Agreement with each Co-
Investor that entitles the Adviser to: (x) receive performance-based compensation,
management fees or similar fees from Co-Investors and their respective Investors, if any;
and (y) collect customary fees in connection with actual or contemplated Investments that
are the subject to co-investment arrangements.
The Co-Investor will typically bear all expenses related to the organization, formation, and
operation of the Co-Investor. Generally, each Client, including any Co-Investor, will bear
its pro rata portion of expenses incurred in the making of an Investment. If an Investment
is not made, the full amount of any expenses relating to such contemplated Investment,
including termination fees, extraordinary expenses, such as litigation costs and judgments,
and other expenses, will generally be borne by the applicable Client. Similarly,
Co-Investors will not be allocated any share of break-up or termination fees paid or
received in connection with such contemplated transaction.
Neither the Adviser nor its supervised persons accept compensation for the sale of
securities or other investment products.
A Client may originate an Investment that the Adviser has arranged through brokers or
agents not affiliated with the Adviser. |
