Exhibit – 10.8
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on this 3rd day of October, 2023, by and between Agree Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”) and Richard Agree (“Richard”), but provided that it shall be effective on January 1, 2023 pursuant to Section 761(c) of the tax code.
RECITALS:
A.The REIT and Richard are the only partners of Agree Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), with the REIT as general partner and Richard as limited partner;
B.The Partnership and/or its subsidiaries have borrowed money pursuant to numerous loan agreements and other financing arrangements (such borrowings, together with all future borrowings by the Partnership and/or its subsidiaries, shall be referred to herein as the “Partnership Debt”);
C.The REIT has provided recourse guarantees, and intends in the future to provide recourse guarantees, to certain portions of the Partnership Debt (such current and future guarantees provided by the REIT shall be referred to herein as the “REIT Guarantees” and such portion of the Partnership Debt that is subject to REIT Guarantees shall be referred to as “Guaranteed Partnership Debt”);
D.Richard currently has a negative capital account in the Partnership (such amount, as in effect from time to time, is referred to as the “Outstanding Negative Capital Balance”);
E.Richard desires to enter into an agreement to reimburse the REIT for a portion of the amount it pays pursuant to the REIT Guarantees as set forth herein;
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
1.Richard hereby agrees to reimburse the REIT for his Proportionate Share (as defined below) of amounts that the REIT pays to lenders pursuant to the REIT Guarantees, up to the Reimbursement Maximum (as defined below).
2.Richard’s “Proportionate Share” shall be equal to the percentage obtained from the following fraction, where the numerator is the Reimbursement Maximum and the denominator is the total amount of outstanding Guaranteed Partnership Debt (each as outstanding as of any date when the Proportionate Share is measured).
3.Richard’s “Reimbursement Maximum” shall be equal to $500,000 plus the excess of the Outstanding Negative Capital Balance over the total nonrecourse debt (including, without limitation, qualified nonrecourse financing) that is allocated by the Partnership to Richard, as most recently determined by the Partnership. Reimbursement payments actually made by Richard shall be subtracted in thereafter determining his remaining Reimbursement Maximum. For reference purposes, as of January 1, 2023, the Outstanding Negative Capital Balance was $12,614,056 and Richard’s total share of nonrecourse debts was $10,476,696 (as determined on his Schedule K-1 from the Partnership), and thus the Reimbursement Maximum as of January 1, 2023 was $2,637,360 [$500,000 + ($12,614,056 - $10,476,696) = $2,637,360]. If there is a decrease in nonrecourse debts allocated to Richard during any year such as due to the pay-down or pay-off of such debt, the Reimbursement Maximum shall increase accordingly.
