Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
Contribution Agreement
On February 6, 2025, Generation Income Properties, L.P., the operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Contribution and Subscription Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with (i) LMB Lewiston, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SPV One”), LMB Ft. Kent, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SPV Two”) and LMB Auburn Hills I, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“SPV Three”; and together with SPV One and SPV Two, the “SPVs”); (ii) Lloyd M. Bernstein, as the sole member of each of the SPVs (the “Contributor”); and (iii) Lloyd M. Bernstein, as representative of the SPVs and the Contributor, for the acquisition by the Operating Partnership through certain of its subsidiaries (the “Affiliated Entities”) of Contributor’s right title and interest in 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of the SPVs (the “SPV Interests”). Pursuant to the acquisition of the SPV Interests, the Operating Partnership, through the Affiliated Entities, will acquire a portfolio of three retail properties (the “Contributed Properties”), each of which is owned directly by an SPV.
The Contribution Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each SPV and the Contributor pertaining to the SPVs and the Contributor, the SPV Interests, and the Contributed Properties. The Operating Partnership also made standard and customary representations and warranties to the Contributor.
.
In exchange for Contributor’s contribution of the SPV Interests, the Operating Partnership issued to Contributor approximately $4.2 million of its Series B-2 preferred units of limited partnership interests (the “OP Units”), consisting of approximately 698,465 OP Units, based on a valuation of $6.00 per OP Unit. The Operating Partnership acquired the SPV Interests, subject to existing indebtedness on the Contributed Properties loaned by Camden National Bank, a national banking association, and Valley National Bank, a national banking association in an aggregate principal amount of $7,023,895.00 (the “Existing Debt”).
The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Contribution Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Tax Protection Agreement
The contribution of the SPV Interests in exchange for OP Units contemplated by the Contribution Agreement is intended to be treated, in whole or in part, for federal income tax purposes as tax-deferred contributions to the Operating Partnership. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, on February 6, 2025, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a Tax Protection Agreement with the SPVs and the Contributor.
The Tax Protection Agreement is intended to protect the Contributor against certain federal, state and local income tax liabilities attributable to the “built-in” gain that existed with respect to the Contributed Properties as of the contribution date. Accordingly, the Tax Protection Agreement will obligate the Operating Partnership, under certain circumstances, to indemnify the Contributor with respect to such tax liabilities upon a disposition of any Contributed Property or upon the failure of the Operating Partnership to maintain a certain minimum level of debt secured by the Contributed Properties. For purposes of the indemnification obligation, the Contributor’s tax liabilities are reduced by the net present value of the reasonably estimated tax liabilities that would be due if the Operating Partnership, upon the termination of the tax protection period, sold the Contributed Properties or repaid the debt required to be maintained. The obligation to indemnify the Contributor will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the closing of the Operating Partnership’s acquisition of the Contributed Properties, provided that such obligation terminates earlier on the date on which the Contributor ceases to own, in the aggregate, 60% or more of the OP Units issued in connection with this transaction or upon a final determination by tax authorities that no part of the contribution transaction qualified as a tax-deferred contribution.
The foregoing description of the Tax Protection Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Tax Protection Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
LPA Amendment
On February 6, 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “LPA Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, issued partnership interests to the Contributor in the form of OP Units. The LPA Amendment sets forth the designations, rights, powers, preferences and duties and other terms of the newly designated class of OP Units. The OP Units were issued in exchange for the SPV Interests pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.
If and when determined by the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, in its sole discretion, holders of the OP Units will be paid cumulative cash distributions in the amount of $0.33 per OP Unit per year (as equitably adjusted in the Company’s sole discretion for any split, reverse split, dividend or similar recapitalization event), subject to prior payment of any preferred return on senior preferred units of the Operating Partnership. The Contributor will have the right after two years to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the OP Units for shares of the Company’s common stock or cash, to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company, calculated as follows: (i) a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of OP Units being redeemed multiplied by 1.00 (the “REIT Shares Amount”) or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the value of the REIT Shares Amount, plus, in each case, an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon. The Contributor will also have the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem the OP Units after five years for cash in an amount equal to $4.00 per OP Unit, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon.
The foregoing description of the LPA Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the LPA Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information set forth under Items 2.01 and 2.03 below is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, through the ownership of voting securities or partnership interests, contract or otherwise.
“Aggregate Share Ownership Limit” has the meaning set forth in the Articles.
“Agreed Value” means (i) in the case of any Contributed Property, the fair market value of such property as of the time of its contribution to the Partnership, reduced by any liabilities either assumed by the Partnership upon such contribution or to which such property is subject when contributed; and (ii) in the case of any property distributed to a Partner by the Partnership, the Partnership’s Carrying Value of such property at the time such property is distributed, reduced by any indebtedness either assumed by such Partner upon such distribution or to which such property is subject at the time of distribution as determined under Section 752 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder; and otherwise (iii) the fair market value of a Partner’s non-cash Capital Contribution as of the date of contribution as agreed to by such Partner and the General Partner.

In each of such events, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time), and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of REIT Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on such date; provided, however, that in the event that an entity other than an Affiliate of the General Partner shall become General Partner pursuant to any merger, consolidation or combination of the General Partner or GIP REIT with or into another entity (the “Successor Entity”), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by the number of shares of the Successor Entity into which one REIT Share is converted pursuant to such merger, consolidation or combination, determined as of the date of such merger, consolidation or combination. Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. If, however, the General Partner receives a Notice of Redemption after the record date, but prior to the effective date of such event, the Conversion Factor shall be determined as if the General Partner had received the Notice of Redemption immediately prior to the record date for such event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Factor if the number of outstanding Common Units is otherwise adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the adjustment to the number of outstanding REIT Shares.

The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act, provided, however, that such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner otherwise shall have ceased to, or the Board of Directors determines, pursuant to the Articles, that GIP REIT shall no longer, qualify as a REIT, (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in any entity engaged in any of the foregoing and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. The Partnership may not, without the General Partner’s specific consent, which it may give or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, take or refrain from taking, any action that, in its judgment, in its sole and absolute discretion could (i) adversely affect GIP REIT’s ability to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) subject GIP REIT to any taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code or any other related or successor provision under the Code or (iii) violate any law or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over GIP REIT, its securities or the Partnership.

ARTICLE IV
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOUNTS
- 9 -
The General Partner and each Limited Partner has made or is deemed to have made a capital contribution to the Partnership. Each Partner owns Partnership Units in the amount set forth opposite such Partner’s name on Exhibit A hereto, as it may be amended or restated from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately sales, exchanges or other Transfers, redemptions, Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units or similar events having an effect on a Partner’s ownership of Partnership Units.
Except as provided in this Section 4.02 or in Section 4.03 hereof, the Partners shall have no right or obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership. The General Partner may contribute additional capital to the Partnership, from time to time, and receive additional Partnership Interests, in the form of Partnership Units, in respect thereof, in the manner contemplated in this Section 4.02.
(i) Partnership Units and classes of Partnership Units. As of the effective date of this Agreement, the Partnership shall have two classes of Partnership Units, entitled “Common Units” and “LTIP Units.” The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue such additional Partnership Interests, in the form of Partnership Units, for any Partnership purpose at any time or from time to time to the Partners (including the General Partner) or to other Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, all without the approval of any Limited Partners. The General Partner’s determination that consideration is adequate shall be conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration relates to whether the Partnership Units are validly issued and fully paid. Any additional Partnership Units issued thereby may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to the then-outstanding Partnership Units held by the Limited Partners, all as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of any Limited Partner, subject to Delaware law that cannot be preempted by the terms hereof and, except with respect to LTIP Units, as set forth in a written document hereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement (each, a “Partnership Unit Designation”), which document shall include, without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Units; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Units to share in Partnership distributions; and (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Units upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, however, that no additional Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) unless:
- 10 -
interests have designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other rights of the additional Partnership Units issued to the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 4.02, provided that (A) if the General Partner allows the holders of its REIT Shares to elect whether to receive such dividend in REIT Shares or other capital stock of, or other interests in the General Partner or cash, the Partnership will give the Limited Partners (excluding the General Partner, GIP REIT or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the General Partner) the same ability to elect to receive (I) Partnership Units or cash or, (II) at the election of, the General Partner, REIT Shares, capital stock or other interests in, the General Partner or cash, and (B) if the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units pursuant to this Section 4.02(a)(i)(2), then an amount of income equal to the value of the Partnership Units received will be allocated to those holders of Common Units that elect to receive additional Partnership Units;
Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units for less than fair market value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the Partnership. Upon the issuance of any additional Partnership Units, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A as appropriate to reflect such issuance.
(ii) Upon Issuance of Additional Securities. The General Partner shall not issue any Additional Securities (other than REIT Shares issued in connection with an exchange pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or REIT Shares or other capital stock of or other interests in the General Partner issued in connection with a taxable stock dividend as described in Section 4.02(a)(i)(2) hereof) or any transaction that would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Factor or Rights other than to all holders of REIT Shares, Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New Securities, as the case may be, unless (A) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) Partnership Units or Rights having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the Additional Securities, and (B) the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) contributes the proceeds from the issuance of such Additional Securities and from any exercise of Rights contained in such Additional Securities to the Partnership; provided, however, that the General Partner is allowed to issue Additional Securities in connection with an acquisition of Property to be held directly by the General Partner, if the General Partner concludes in good faith that such direct acquisition and issuance of Additional Securities is in the best interests of the General Partner and the Partnership. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue Additional Securities for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) corresponding Partnership Units, so long as (x) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the General Partner and the Partnership and (y) the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) contributes all proceeds from such issuance to the Partnership, including without limitation, the issuance of REIT Shares and corresponding Partnership Units pursuant to a share purchase plan providing for purchases of REIT Shares at a discount from fair market value or pursuant to share awards, including share options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the REIT Shares, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise, and restricted or other share awards approved by the Board of Directors. For example, in the event the
- 11 -
General Partner issues REIT Shares for a cash purchase price and the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) contributes all of the proceeds of such issuance to the Partnership as required hereunder, the General Partner (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner) shall be issued a number of additional Partnership Units equal to the product of (A) the number of such REIT Shares issued by the General Partner, the proceeds of which were so contributed, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such contribution.
If the General Partner determines that it is in the best interest of the Partnership to provide for additional Partnership funds (“Additional Funds”) for any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may (i) cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or (ii) elect to have the General Partner or any of its Affiliates provide such Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise.
- 12 -
one Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other similar business Common Unit Transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation plan or distribution reinvestment plan or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the General Partner or GIP REIT (or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the General Partner or GIP REIT) in respect of a capital contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of Additional Securities by GIP REIT. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as “Adjustment Events” and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the General Partner shall have the right to make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by any Equity Incentive Plan and Vesting Agreement, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units, as herein provided, however, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer’s certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall deliver a notice to each LTIP Holder setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice shall not invalidate the adjustment or the authority granted hereunder, and
- 13 -
be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of a Vesting Agreement. The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the Equity Incentive Plan, if applicable. LTIP Units that have vested under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units”; all other LTIP Units shall be treated as “Unvested LTIP Units.”
hereof.
- 14 -
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be effected, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted into Common Units.
- 15 -
General Partner shall reasonably cooperate with an LTIP Holder to coordinate the timing of the events described in the foregoing sentence.
In anticipation of such Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Common Unit Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each LTIP Holder to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Common Unit Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which its LTIP Units will be converted into the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such transaction by a holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such holder of Common Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a
- 16 -
“Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Common Unit Transaction, prior to such Common Unit Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each LTIP Holder of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford such holders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Common Units in connection with such Common Unit Transaction. If an LTIP Holder fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such LTIP Holder (or by any of such LTIP Holder’s transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Common Unit would receive if such Common Unit holder failed to make such an election.
Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner under any Vesting Agreement and any Equity Incentive Plan, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of any Common Unit Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.05(g) and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any LTIP Holders whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Common Unit Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of LTIP Units that remain outstanding after such Common Unit Transaction to convert their LTIP Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of the LTIP Holders.
A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (a) a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, (b) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest, (c) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) or (d) the Partnership grants a Partnership Interest (other than a de minimis Partnership Interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership to an existing Partner acting in a Partner capacity, or to a new Partner acting in a Partner capacity or in anticipation of being a Partner, the General Partner shall revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f); provided, however, that (i) the issuance of any LTIP Unit shall be deemed to require a revaluation pursuant to this Section 4.06 and (ii) the General Partner may elect not to revalue the property of the Partnership in connection with the issuance of additional Partnership Units pursuant to Section 4.02 to the extent it determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that revaluing the property of the Partnership is not necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners. When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) (2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation.
If the number of outstanding Common Units or other class or series of Partnership Units increases or decreases during a taxable year, each Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be adjusted by the General Partner effective as of the effective date of each such increase or decrease to a percentage equal to the number of Common Units or other class or series of Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of Common Units or other class or series of Partnership Units, as applicable, outstanding after giving effect to such increase or decrease. If the Partners’
- 17 -
Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the year ending on the day when that adjustment occurs and the part of the year beginning on the following day either (i) as if the taxable year had ended on the date of the adjustment or
(ii) based on the number of days in each part. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs. The allocation of Profits and Losses for the earlier part of the year shall be based on the Percentage Interests before adjustment, and the allocation of Profits and Losses for the later part shall be based on the adjusted Percentage Interests. In the event that there is an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding Partnership Units (other than Common Units or LTIP Units) during a taxable year, the General Partner shall have similar discretion, as provided in the preceding sentences of this Section 4.07, to allocate items of Profit and Loss between the part of the year ending on the day when that increase or decrease occurs and the part of the year beginning on the following day, and that allocation shall take into account the Partners’ relative interests in those items of Profit and Loss before and after such increase or decrease.
No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution.
No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no obligation to return to any Partner or withdrawn Partner any part of such Partner’s Capital Contribution for so long as the Partnership continues in existence.
4.10. No Third Party Beneficiary.
No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 6.03(h) hereof, shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners. In addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other property in violation of the Act. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or property of the Partnership.
ARTICLE V
PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS

(a) Subject to Sections 5.02(b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof and to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, the Partnership shall distribute cash at such times and in such amounts as are determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or other distribution period) in proportion with their respective Common Units on the Partnership Record Date.
The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause the Partnership to distribute amounts sufficient to enable the General Partner
- 21 -
to make stockholder distributions that will allow the General Partner to (i) meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability imposed by the Code, other than to the extent the General Partner elects to retain and pay income tax on its net capital gain or other income.
No Partner shall be entitled to demand property other than cash in connection with any distributions by the Partnership, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article V, no Partner shall have the right to receive, and the General Partner shall not have the right to make, a distribution that includes a return of all or part of a Partner’s Capital Contributions, unless after giving effect to the return of a Capital Contribution, the sum of all Partnership liabilities, other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return of his Capital Contribution, does not exceed the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets.
It is the intent of the Partners that the allocations of Profit and Loss under this Agreement have substantial economic effect (or be consistent with the Partners’ interests in the Partnership in the case of the allocation of losses attributable to nonrecourse debt) within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. Article V and other relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 6.03(a). The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 6.03(a).

“Gain Limitation Property” means (i) each property or asset identified on Schedule 2.1(b) hereto as a Gain Limitation Property; (ii) any direct or indirect interest owned by the Partnership in any entity that owns an interest in a Gain Limitation Property, if the disposition of that interest would result in the recognition of Protected Gain by a Protected Partner; and (iii) any other property that the Partnership directly or indirectly receives that is in whole or in part a “substituted basis property” as defined in Section 7701(a)(42) of the Code with respect to a Gain Limitation Property.

After the Closing Date, Protected Gain shall be reduced from time to time to reflect reductions in the “book-tax disparity” with respect to each Property in accordance with Treasury Regulations § 1.704- 3 as provided in Article 6 below.

“Tax Protection Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the tenth anniversary thereof, provided, however, that with respect to a Protected Partner, the Tax Protection Period shall terminate at such time as (i) such Protected Partner has disposed of sixty percent (60%) of the Partnership Units received on the Contribution in one or more taxable transactions; (ii) there is a Final Determination that no portion of the Contribution qualified for tax-deferred treatment under Section 721 of the Code; or (iii) the Protected Partner has consented to such termination in writing. A person that acquires Partnership Units as the result of the death of a Protected Partner shall not be considered a Protected Partner with respect to such Partnership Units, and the Tax Protection Period for such person and such Partnership Units shall end, if such death results in a step-up in tax basis in such Partnership Units.

GAIN LIMITATION PROPERTIES
Without limiting the foregoing, the term “sale, exchange, transfer or disposition” by the Partnership shall be deemed to include, and the prohibition shall extend to:

ARTICLE 3
ALLOCATION OF NONRECOURSE LIABILITIES
Protected Partner’s expense, to cause the applicable lender to agree to accept such Debt Guarantee in such form as may be acceptable to the Protected Partner, the Partnership, and the applicable lender; provided that the Partnership makes no representation or warranty that the applicable lender accepted or shall accept any such Debt Guarantee. In the event that the Partnership otherwise has sufficient recourse debt outstanding, a Protected Partner shall be offered the opportunity to elect to enter into a Deficit Restoration Obligation in which event the Partnership will maintain until the end of the Tax Protection Period an amount of indebtedness of the Partnership that is considered “recourse” indebtedness (taking into account all of the facts and circumstances related to the indebtedness, the Partnership and the general partner) equal to or greater than the sum of the amounts subject to a Deficit Restoration Obligation of all Protected Partners and other partners in the Partnership in lieu of the other debt maintenance obligations set forth in this Article 3. In connection with any request by any Protected Partner to offer a Debt Guarantee, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Protected Partner(s) under Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (as compared to the amount of such Guaranteed Liability that would be so allocated to such Protected Partner(s) in the absence of such modification or amendment), it being understood and agreed that Protected Partner(s) shall have no other basis upon which to object to the proposed modification or amendment. Any such objection shall be delivered to the Partnership in writing prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period and shall explain the specific basis for such objection. If the Partnership receives any such objection notice, the Partnership will not enter into the proposed amendment or modification, and any future revisions to the proposed amendment or modification shall be subject to the approval process set forth in this clause (v). If the Protected Partner(s) either notify the Partnership that the Protected Partner(s) do not object to the proposed business terms, or if Protected Partner(s) fail to respond during such five (5) Business Day period, then the Partnership shall be permitted to enter into the proposed amendment or modification, and such Protected Partner(s) shall be deemed to have approved such proposed amendment or modification (any such proposed amendment or modification, a “Consistent Amendment”).
The Partnership shall not be liable for any taxes incurred by any Protected Partner as a result of the failure of such Protected Partner to exercise its rights under this Section 3.1(b) to execute and deliver a Debt Guarantee or a Deficit Restoration Obligation instrument if offered pursuant to this Section 3.1(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Partnership shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation under Section 3.1(a) to maintain an amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities at least equal to the Minimum Debt Amount at any given time if the Partnership maintained at such time an amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities that are Guarantee Permissible Liabilities at least equal to the aggregate Minimum Liability Amounts of all Protected Partners at such time.
not described in Section 2.2(e), but only if the amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities that are allocated to the Protected Partners with respect to such Gain Limitation Property under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3 is not less than the amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities that would have been allocated to such Protected Partners under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3 if the Partnership had maintained an amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities secured by such Gain Limitation Property not less than the Minimum Debt Amount with respect to such Gain Limitation Property.
(h) A failure to comply with Section 3.1(a)-(f) shall not be a breach under this Agreement and shall not entitle any Protected Partner to a payment under Section 4.1 to the extent that (i) the failure does not reduce the amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities that is allocated to the Protected Partner under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3 below such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount (taking into account Debt Guarantees requested by such Protected Partner), (ii) the failure arises as a result of the condemnation or other taking of the Gain Limitation Property by a government entity in an eminent domain or condemnation proceeding or otherwise, (iii) the failure results from an obligation to perform under a guarantee that was caused by a pre-existing condition with respect to the Gain Limitation Property, (iv) the failure arises as a result of a casualty event with respect to a Gain Limitation Property in connection with which a lender requires any insurance proceeds or other related awards be applied to any loan secured by the applicable Gain Limitation Property thereby reducing the amount of Nonrecourse Liabilities allocable to one or more Protected Partners with respect to such Gain Limitation Property or (v) the failure arises as a result of the direct or indirect transfer of any Partnership Units by any Contributor; provided however, that in the case of a condemnation or other taking of Gain Limitation Property pursuant to clause (ii) or a casualty event pursuant to clause (iv), the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to replace such Nonrecourse Liabilities securing such Gain Limitation Property with other Nonrecourse Liabilities that is allocated to each applicable Protected Partner pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3 in the same amounts as allocated prior to such event.
ARTICLE 4 REMEDIES FOR BREACH
In addition, the Partnership shall pay to the Protected Partner or Indirect Owner an amount equal to the aggregate federal, state, and local income taxes payable by the Protected Partner or Indirect Owner as a result of the receipt of any payment required under this Section 4.1.
For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Partnership complies with the notification requirement of Section 3.1, the Partnership shall have no liability pursuant to this Section 4.1 in the event it is determined that a Protected Partner has not been specially allocated for purposes of Section 752 of the Code an amount of partnership liabilities equal to such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount or is not treated as receiving a special allocation of partnership liabilities for purposes of Section 465 of the Code that increases such Protected Partner’s “at risk” amount by an amount equal to such Protected Partner’s Minimum Liability Amount. Furthermore, the Partnership shall have no liability pursuant to this Section 4.1 (x) if the Partnership merges into another entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or the Protected Partner accepts an offer to exchange its Partnership Units for equity interests in another entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes so long as, in either case, such successor entity assumes or agrees to assume the Partnership’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement or (y) for any transfer, sale, disposition or other transaction described in Section 2.1(c)(i).
such determination shall be shared equally by the Partnership and the Protected Partner, provided that if the amount determined by the Accounting Firm to be owed by the Partnership to the Protected Partner is more than five percent (5%) higher than the amount proposed by the Partnership to be owed to such Protected Partner prior to the submission of the matter to the Accounting Firm, then all of the fees and expenses of any Accounting Firm incurred in connection with any such determination shall be paid by the Partnership and if the amount determined by the Accounting Firm to be owed by the Partnership to the Protected Partner is more than five percent (5%) less than the amount proposed by the Partnership to be owed to such Protected Partner prior to the submission of the matter to the Accounting Firm, then all of the fees and expenses of any Accounting Firm incurred in connection with any such determination shall be paid by the Protected Partner.
ARTICLE 5
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO SELL GAIN LIMITATION PROPERTY DURING NOTICE PERIOD

ARTICLE 6
SECTION 704(C) METHOD AND ALLOCATIONS
Notwithstanding any provision of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership shall use the “traditional method” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) for purposes of making all allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code with respect to any Gain Limitation Property.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Generation Income Properties, Inc. Completes $11.2 Million UPREIT Transaction, Highlighting Commitment to Long-Term Value Creation
Tampa, FL — February 10, 2025 — Generation Income Properties, Inc. (Nasdaq; GIPR or the Company), a net lease real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced the completion of a three property UPREIT contribution transaction underscoring GIPR’s dedication to long-term investment strategies and value creation for its stakeholders.
Under the terms of the contribution agreement for the transaction, the contributor contributed a portfolio of three (3) high-quality retail properties leased to Tractor Supply Corporation (Nasdaq: TSCO, S&P: BBB), Dollar General (NYSE: DG, S&P: BBB), and a Zaxby’s restaurant, all located in core markets to support their operations, to GIPR’s operating partnership. In exchange, the Contributor received operating partnership units based on a value of $6.00 per unit.
A Strategic Approach to Growth
David Sobelman, CEO of Generation Income Properties, Inc. commented: “I have known the contributor of these properties for over twenty years, and this transaction represents a pivotal moment in our growth strategy as well as affirmation of our relational and long-term generational values. By structuring the transaction as a tax-deferred UPREIT contribution transaction and focusing on long-term value creation, we’ve attracted a sophisticated partner who shares our vision. We believe that the substantial premium to our current stock price underscores their confidence in the strength of our portfolio and strategy.”
The assets contributed by LMB are expected to enhance GIPR’s portfolio through, increasing the weighted average lease term (WALT) of the portfolio to 4.7 years, increasing the gross asset value of the portfolio to approximately $115MM and increasing GIPR’s portfolio percentage of retail properties to 65%. The transaction also reinforces GIPR’s ability to attract landlords that share the long-term growth vision that has been laid out by the Company’s Board of Directors and Management.
