Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 6, 2012 (the "Closing Date"), City Park Mezzanine Lending, LLC ("Mezzanine Lender"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. ("PAC-OP"), made a mezzanine loan of up to $10,000,000 (the "Mezzanine Loan") to Oxford City Park Development LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Borrower"), in connection with Borrower's plans to construct a 284-unit multifamily community in Charlotte, North Carolina as part of a master plan to redevelop the former Charlotte Coliseum site (the "Property"). Approximately $5,070,511 of the Mezzanine Loan was funded by Mezzanine Lender to Borrower on the Closing Date and the balance of the Mezzanine Loan is expected to be drawn by the Borrower over approximately the next seven months. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is the general partner of, and owner of an approximately 99.99% interest in, PAC-OP.
In connection with the closing of the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Lender received a loan fee of 2% of the amount of the Mezzanine Loan funded on the Closing Date, or approximately $104,430. In addition, the Company paid a fee of approximately $50,715, or 1.0% of the amount of the Mezzanine Loan funded on the Closing Date, to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, the Company’s manager (the "Manager"), as an "acquisition fee" in accordance with the terms of the management agreement between the Company, PAC-OP and the Manager (the "Management Agreement"). As the Mezzanine Loan is drawn by the Borrower, the Mezzanine Lender will receive a loan fee of 2% of the amount funded to the Borrower and the Company will pay to the Manager a fee of 1% of the amount funded to the Borrower as an "acquisition fee" in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement.
The Mezzanine Loan matures on September 5, 2017, with no option to extend and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will be paid monthly with principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity. The Mezzanine Loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $18.6 million that is held by an unrelated third party. The Mezzanine Loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests in the Borrower. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, both unaffiliated third parties, have guaranteed to Mezzanine Lender the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications and have provided a full payment guaranty. These guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a customary intercreditor agreement between the Mezzanine Lender and the senior lender. Prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without Mezzanine Lender consent.
Under the terms of a Purchase Option Agreement entered into on the Closing Date in connection with the closing of the Mezzanine Loan, Mezzanine Lender has an exclusive option (but not an obligation) to purchase the Property between and including November 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $30,945,845. If the Property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party at any time, or is paid off at any time, Mezzanine Lender will be entitled to an exit fee to increase the aggregate interest paid on the Mezzanine Loan to 14.0% per annum (the "Exit Fee"), provided, however, that such Exit Fee shall not be required to be paid if

Mezzanine Lender or a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Mezzanine Lender acquires the Property.
