3.2.2           Senior Preferred Stock.  In accordance with Section 6.5, American Spectrum Realty shall deposit into Escrow Certificates (the "Senior Preferred Stock Certificates") evidencing the Senior Preferred Stock to be designated “8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B” ("Senior Preferred Stock") to be issued by American Spectrum Realty to Daily Fund, Semi-Annual Fund and Intermediate Fund.  The value of the Senior Preferred Stock shall equal the Net Contribution Value.  At the Closing, each of the Dunham Funds shall be issued a Senior Preferred Stock Certificate for that number of shares of Senior Preferred Stock set forth opposite its name on Exhibit 3.2.2 attached hereto.  The Senior Preferred Stock shall have those rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the Articles Supplementary (hereinbelow defined).  
 
 
(a)
Senior Preferred Stock Dividend.  As set forth in more detail in the Articles Supplementary, the Senior Preferred Stock shall earn a dividend calculated like simple interest as follows: (i) at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on the then outstanding Net Contribution Value for the period commencing on the Closing Date and terminating on December 31, 2014 (the “Initial Interest Period”), and (ii) thereafter until the Senior Preferred Stock has been redeemed in full, at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum on the then outstanding Net Contribution Value.  The accrued and outstanding dividend shall be paid monthly on the first business day of each calendar month commencing January 1, 2014 (each, a “Dividend Payment”); provided, however, that in connection with each Dividend Payment attributable to the Initial Interest Period, only fifty percent (50%) of the accrued dividend payable with respect each Dividend Payment shall be payable in connection with the applicable Dividend Payment and the balance of such dividend shall accrue and be paid in one lump sum payment on December 1, 2015, which accrued amount shall earn simple interest at the same rate as the then applicable dividend rate of the Senior Preferred Stock.  All Dividend Payments shall be paid electronically via wire transfer of immediately available funds to account(s) designated by Dunham.

(b)
Redemption of Senior Preferred Stock.  As set forth more fully in the Articles Supplementary, American Spectrum Realty shall be obligated to redeem the Senior Preferred Stock issued to each of the Dunham Funds, pro rata in accordance with the Senior Preferred Stock held by each of the Dunham Funds, as follows: (i) an aggregate of Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000) on December 1, 2014 in consideration of approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the Senior Preferred Stock, (ii) an aggregate of Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000) on June 1, 2015 in consideration of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Senior Preferred Stock and (iii) on December 1, 2015 an amount equal to the Net Contribution Value less the amounts theretofore paid in consideration of the redemption of Senior Preferred Stock in consideration of the balance of the unredeemed Senior Preferred Stock (each a "Redemption Payment").  Upon redemption of any of the Senior Preferred Stock (A) the accrued but unpaid dividend with respect to such redeemed Senior Preferred Stock shall also be paid to the holder of the Senior Preferred Stock being so redeemed and (B) the Net Contribution Value shall be reduced for purposes of determining the dividend to be earned thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the accrued and unpaid dividend on the Senior Preferred Stock that would not otherwise be payable until December 1, 2015 shall continue to accrue and earn interest as herein provided and be payable on December 1, 2015.  Any Sale Payments (herein below defined) paid with respect to the Senior Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement (x) shall reduce the Net Contribution Value by the amount of such Sale Payment when such Sale Payment is made and (y) shall be credited to the next Redemption Payment required to be made by American Spectrum Realty.  Participation Payments (herein below defined) shall not reduce the Net Contribution Value or be credited to any Redemption Payment.  All Redemption Payments, Sale Payments and Participation Payments shall be paid electronically via wire transfer of immediately available funds to account(s) designated by Dunham.
 
 
(c)
Unconditional Payments.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of American Spectrum Realty to make the Dividend Payments and the Redemption Payments pursuant to the schedule set forth herein and in the Articles Supplementary is not conditioned in any way upon any future sales or refinancings by American Spectrum Dunham Properties of any of the Projects.
 
 
(d)

6

 
 
 
(e)
Compliance Certificate.  If the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of American Spectrum Realty certifies to a third party lender that American Spectrum Realty or any of its subsidiaries is in compliance with its organizational documents (including the Articles Supplementary) and that no consents (other than those obtained) are required for any transaction, such third party lender shall have the right to conclusively rely on such certificate.  American Spectrum Realty shall as soon as practicable provide a copy of any such certificate to Dunham.
 
3.3           Allocation of Contribution Value, Sale Payment and Participation Payment.
 
3.3.1           Allocation of Contribution Value.  Exhibit 3.3.1 sets forth the mutually agreed upon allocation of the Net Contribution Value to each Project as of the Closing Date (the "Project Allocation Amount").
 
3.3.2           Sale Payment and Participation Payments.  As set forth more fully in the Articles Supplementary (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) when a Project is sold after the Closing to a Person unrelated to American Spectrum (excluding the granting of any deed of trust or mortgage to secure the repayment of any financing or refinancing), American Spectrum Realty shall pay to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock at the closing of such sale, pro rata to the then outstanding Senior Preferred Stock then held by each such holder, the sum of the following:
 
 
(a)
Sale Payment.  A payment (the "Sale Payment") in an amount equal to the following:
 
 
(i)
if the gross sales price for such Project exceeds the Project Allocation Amount with respect to such Project, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the applicable Project Allocation Amount for such Project and the indebtedness secured by the Project which is repaid at the closing of such sale; or
 
 
(ii)
if the Project Allocation Amount with respect to such Project exceeds the gross sales price for such Project, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the gross sales price for such Project and the indebtedness secured by such Project which is repaid at the closing of such sale.
 
The Dunham Loan will be evidenced by two (2) separate Secured Promissory  Notes (each, a “Dunham Note”), each in the original principal amount of $3,000,000.  The repayment of each of the Dunham Notes will be secured by, among other things, a deed of trust on one or more of the Projects.  As set forth in each of the Dunham Notes, the lenders thereunder have agreed that, in connection with the sale of one or more of the Projects securing repayment of such Dunham Note, that in lieu of repaying the applicable Note with the proceeds from such transaction that the applicable Project may be replaced by a substitute property (including one or more of the Projects) (a “Substitute Property”) on terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Dunham Note.  In the event a Project securing repayment of a Dunham Note is properly replaced by a Substitute Property in accordance with the terms of the Note, then for purposes of calculating the Sale Payments for purposes of Section 3.3.2(a)(i) and (ii), the amount owing under the applicable Dunham Note shall not be included in calculating the aggregate indebtedness being repaid at the closing of such sale.
 
 
7

 
 
 
(b)
Participation Payment.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3.3, in the event the gross sales price of a Project exceeds the Project Allocation Amount for such Project,  a payment ("Participation Payment") in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Profits (herein below defined) attributable to the sale of such Project shall be paid to the Dunham Funds, pro rata to each based on the Project Allocation Amount of the properties contributed by each of the Dunham Funds pursuant to this Agreement.  For purposes hereof, the term “Profits” with respect to the sale of a Project shall be an amount equal to the gross sales price of such Project, less the sum of the following:
 
 
(i)
the applicable Project Allocation Amount, plus
 
 
(ii)
any amounts paid by American Spectrum to third parties with respect to such Project to make capital improvements thereto or to pay to third party brokers to secure leases thereof, plus
 
 
(iii)
any third-party costs incurred by American Spectrum to sell or market such Project, including the cost of marketing materials, broker commissions, consultant fees (including reasonable attorneys and accountants, etc.), plus
 
 
(iv)
normal and customary third-party closing costs paid by American Spectrum in connection with the sale of such Project.
 
For purposes of calculating Profits, there shall not be deducted from the gross sales price of such Project fees paid to American Spectrum or any other "soft" costs of American Spectrum Dunham Properties other than as specified above, including without limitation, any fees or interest paid to American Spectrum or interest expense paid by American Spectrum, property taxes, insurance, or the net income or loss generated from rents or operating activities with respect to such Project.  Exhibit 3.3.2 sets forth examples with respect to the making of a Sale Payment and a Participation Payment.
 
 
(c)
Termination of Sale Payments; Survival of Participation Payments.  American Spectrum Dunham Properties’ obligation to make any Sale Payment pursuant to this Section 3.3.2 shall terminate upon the redemption in full of the Senior Preferred Stock.  Additionally, American Spectrum Dunham Properties’ obligation to make any Participation Payment shall survive the redemption in full of the Senior Preferred Stock and shall continue until all of the Projects have been sold by American Spectrum Dunham Properties.
 
 
8

 
 
 
(d)
Transfer of Senior Preferred Stock. In the event of any transfer or assignment of any Senior Preferred Stock by the holder thereof, such holder shall be obligated to transfer and assign to the applicable recipient such holder’s rights to receive the Sale Payments attributable to the applicable Senior Preferred Stock in connection with such transfer or assignment, and such transferee shall acknowledge in writing that such transferee is taking the Senior Preferred Stock subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
 
3.3.3           Deficit Payments.  In the event the gross sales price for any Project is less than the Project Allocation Amount with respect to such Project (such difference being called the “Deficit,”), then one hundred percent (100%) of the Profits associated with future sales of Projects shall be paid to the then holders of the Senior Preferred Stock, pro rata to each based on the then outstanding shares of Senior Preferred Stock, until the aggregate Deficit has been paid in full (each, a “Deficit Payment”).  All such Deficit Payments pursuant to this Section 3.3.3. shall be treated as a Sales Payment.  Exhibit 3.3.2 sets forth examples with respect to the making of a Deficit Payment.

EXAMPLES OF SALE PAYMENTS, PARTICIPATION PAYMENTS
AND DEFICIT PAYMENTS

Example 1:

Project Allocation Amount: $3,000,000

Indebtedness Secured by Project: $2,000,000

Gross Sales Price: $4,000,000

Sale Payment
In the above example, the Sale Payment will be calculated pursuant to Section 3.3.2(a)(i) and will equal $500,000 (i.e., 50% of the difference between the Project Allocation Amount ($3,000,000) and the indebtedness secured by the Project repaid at the closing of such sale ($2,000,000) (.5 x ($3,000,000 - $2,000,000).

Participation Payment
In the above example, and assuming the amounts calculated pursuant to Section 3.3.2(b)(ii) – (iv) equal $50,000 then the Profits shall equal $950,000 (i.e., the gross sales price ($4,000,000) less the Project Allocation Amount ($3,000,000), less the closing costs ($50,000)) and the Profit Participation to Dunham Funds equals $237,500 (i.e., 25% of the Profits).

Example 2 (with Deficit):

Project Allocation Amount: $4,000,000

Indebtedness Secured by Project: $2,000,000

Gross Sales Price: $3,000,000

Sale Payment
In the above example, the Sale Payment will be calculated pursuant to Section 3.3.2(a)(ii) and will equal $500,000 (i.e., 50% of the difference between the gross sales price ($3,000,000) less the indebtedness secured by the Project repaid at closing of such sale ($2,000,000) (.5 x ($3,000,000 - $2,000,000).

Participation Payment
In the above example, there will be no Participation Payment because the gross sales price ($3,000,000) does not exceed the Project Allocation Amount ($4,000,000).

This transaction creates a Deficit of $1,000,000 (amount by which the Gross Sales Price is less than the Project Allocation Amount)

EXHIBIT 3.3.2
-1-
 
 

 
 
Example 3: (Deficit & Deficit Payment)

Assume the example set forth in Example 2 which created a $1,000,000 deficit.

Assume also the following with respect to the next sale of a Project:

Project Allocation Amount: $3,000,000

Indebtedness Secured by Project: $2,000,000

Gross Sales Price: $4,500,000

Sale Payment
In the above example, the Sale Payment will be calculated pursuant to Section 3.3.2(a)(i) and will equal $500,000 (i.e., 50% of the difference between the Project Allocation Amount ($3,000,000) and the indebtedness secured by the Project repaid at the closing of such sale ($2,000,000) (.5 x ($3,000,000 - $2,000,000).

Participation Payment
In the above example, and assuming the amounts calculated pursuant to Section 3.3.2(b)(ii) – (iv) equal $50,000 then the Profits shall equal $1,450,000 (i.e., the gross sales price ($4,500,000) less the Project Allocation Amount ($3,000,000), less the closing costs ($50,000)).

Because an outstanding Deficit exists, the first $1,000,000 of Profits associated with the sale of this Project will be paid to the holders of the Senior Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 3.3.3.  The remaining $450,000 will be paid in accordance with Section 3.3.2(b) and results in a Profit Participation to Dunham Funds equal to $112,500 (i.e., 25% of the remaining $450,000 of Profits).

The holder or holders of one-third of the Series B then outstanding, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of the Preferred Directors. Notice of all meetings at which holders of the Series B shall be entitled to vote will be given to such holders at their addresses as they appear in the stock transfer records.  At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, subject to the provisions of any applicable law, a majority of the holders of the Series B present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Directors, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. If a Preferred Default shall terminate after the notice of a special meeting has been given but before such special meeting has been held, the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such termination, mail or cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Series B that would have been entitled to vote at such special meeting.
 
(iv)           If and when all accumulated dividends on the Series B for the past Dividend Periods and all redemption payments not paid in full on a past Redemption Date shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment, the right of the holders of Series B to elect the Preferred Directors shall immediately cease (subject to re-vesting in the event of each and every Preferred Default), and the term of office of each Preferred Director so elected shall terminate and the entire Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly.  Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the vote of, and shall not be removed otherwise than by the vote of, the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B. So long as a Preferred Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled by written consent of a majority of the Preferred Directors remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B when they have the voting rights described above.  Each of the Preferred Directors shall be entitled to one vote on any matter.
