Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On November 26, 2019, Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Revolver Amendment”), which amends the Company’s existing unsecured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) and the other lenders party thereunder, with BMO as Administrative Agent and Branch Banking & Trust Company and Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents.

The Revolver Amendment included, among other things, an adjustment of certain financial maintenance covenants, including a temporary reduction of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to allow the Company  to redeploy the proceeds received from the Purchase and Sale Transaction (as defined below), and an increase in in the maximum amount the Company may invest in stock and stock equivalents of real estate investment trusts to allow the Company to invest in the common stock and operating partnership units of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“Alpine”) and Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”).

The description of the Revolver Amendment contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revolver Amendment, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference herein.

Management Agreement

On November 26, 2019, Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Manager”), Alpine and the Operating Partnership entered into a Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager manages  Alpine’s assets and the day-to-day operations of Alpine. In connection with the services provided by the Manager, the Manager is entitled to receive a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of Alpine’s “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. In addition, the Manager is entitled to receive an incentive fee, payable annually,  in the amount equal to the greater of (a) $0.00 and (b) the product of (i) 15% multiplied by (ii) the “outperformance amount”  multiplied by (c) the “weighted average shares” (as such terms are defined in the Management Agreement).  In addition, the Manager generally is entitled to reimbursement for costs and expenses to the extent such costs and expenses are incurred on behalf of Alpine in accordance with the Management Agreement.

The initial term of the Management Agreement will expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing date of Alpine’s initial public offering and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms. Following the initial term, the Management Agreement may be terminated annually, with 120 days prior written notice, upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of Alpine’s independent directors or upon a determination by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Alpine’s common stock, based upon (a) unsatisfactory performance that is materially detrimental to Alpine or (a) a  

2

determination that the management fees payable to the Manager is not fair, subject to the Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting a reduction of management fees agreed to by two-thirds of Alpine’s independent directors. Upon the direction of a majority of Alpine’s independent directors, Alpine may also terminate the Management Agreement for cause at any time, including during the initial term, without the payment of any termination fee, with 30 days’ prior written notice from Alpine’s board of directors.

If the Management Agreement is terminated without cause, the Manager shall receive a termination fee equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee earned by the Manager during the 24-month period immediately preceding the most recently completed calendar quarter prior to the termination date and (b) the average annual incentive fee earned by the Manager during the two most recently completed “measurement periods” (as defined in the management agreement) prior to the termination date.

The description of the Management Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Management Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference herein.

Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement

In connection with the Management Agreement, on November 26, 2019, the Company entered into an exclusivity and right of first offer agreement by and between the Company and Alpine (the “Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement”). Pursuant to the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement, in the event the Company or one of its affiliates decides  (a) to acquire, directly or indirectly, a single-tenant, net leased property, or (b) dispose of a single-tenant, net leased property owned by the Company or one of its affiliates, the Company must first offer the property to Alpine pursuant to an offer letter. Alpine is not obligated to purchase any property made available by offer letter and will lose its right of first offer with respect to such property if it fails to respond to any offer letter within 10 business days.

Alpine’s right of first offer under the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement does not apply to certain acquisitions by the Company or its affiliates, including acquisitions of (a) certain real estate portfolios that include among other properties, single-tenant, net leased properties, (b) properties that were under contract for purchase by the Company or an affiliate of the Company prior to the effective date of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement and (c)  a property which, prior to entering into the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement, has been identified or designated by the Company as a potential “replacement property” in connection with an open (i.e., not yet completed) like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The terms of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement do not restrict the Company or any of its affiliates from providing financing for a third party’s acquisition of single-tenant, net leased properties or from developing and owning any single-tenant, net leased property.

The Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement is coterminous with the Management Agreement.

The description of the Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exclusivity and ROFO

Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Tax Protection Agreement

In connection with the Alpine Income Property Sale Transactions (as defined below), the Company entered into a tax protection agreement by and among the Company, Alpine and the Operating Partnership (the “Tax Protection Agreement”). Under the Tax Protection Agreement, if Alpine disposes of any interest in the Contributed Properties (as defined below) in a taxable transaction within 10 years of the closing of Alpine’s initial public offering, then Alpine will indemnify the Company for any tax liabilities attributable to the built-in gain that exists with respect to such properties as of the time of Alpine’s initial public offering and the tax liabilities incurred as a result of such tax protection payment. The total amount of protected built-in gain on the Contributed Properties and other assets is approximately $9.1 million. Alpine indemnification obligations would cover up to $3.1  million of such taxable gain.

With respect to each of the Contributed Properties, the tax indemnities described above will not apply to a disposition of a Contributed Property if such disposition constitutes a “like-kind exchange” under Section 1031 of the Code, an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Code or another transaction (including, but not limited to, (a) a contribution of property that qualifies for the non-recognition of gain under Sections 721 or 351 of the Code or (b) a merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership with or into another entity that qualifies for taxation as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) if such transaction does not result in the recognition of taxable income or gain to a contributing partner with respect to its OP units in the Operating Partnership. In the case of the exception discussed in the preceding sentence, the tax protection then would apply to the replacement property (or the partnership interest) received in the transaction, to the extent that the sale or other disposition of that replacement asset would result in the recognition of any of the built-in gain that existed for that property at the time of the Alpine Income Property Sale Transactions.

The description of the Tax Protection Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tax Protection Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the issuance of Private Placement Shares (as defined below), the Company entered into a registration rights agreement by and between the Company and Alpine (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  Alpine agreed under the Registration Rights Agreement to file a “shelf registration statement” to register the resale of the Private Placement Shares as soon as practicable after Alpine becomes eligible to use Form S-3, and Alpine must maintain the effectiveness of such shelf registration statement until all the registrable shares have been sold under the shelf registration statement or become eligible for sale, without restriction, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights

Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 4.21 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

In addition, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered into contribution agreements with the Operating Partnership, pursuant to which the Company and such affiliates contributed to the Operating Partnership five properties (the “Contributed Properties”) for an aggregate of 1,223,854 OP units of the Operating Partnership, which have an initial value of $23,253,226 million (the “Contributions,” and collectively with the Purchase and Sale Transactions, the “Alpine Income Property Sale Transactions”).  The Alpine Income Property Sale Transactions closed on November 26, 2019.
