Exhibit 10.29

TEN MILLION ($10,000,000) REVOLVING CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

THIS REVOLVING  CAPITAL LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT(the "Capital Line of Credit") is effective as of this 19th day of March, 2020 (the "Effective Date") by and between COMSTOCK DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, LC, a Virginia limited liability company ("Lender") and COMSTOCK HOLDING COMPANIES, INC., a Delaware Corporation ("Bonower"), each having a principal address of 1886 Metro Center Drive, Suite 400, Reston, Virginia 20190.

 

RECITALS

 

(A)The parties hereto wish to enter into this Capital Line of Credit in a maximum outstanding amount of Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000) to memorialize the practice of Lender periodically making related party te1m loans (each a "Loan") to Bonower for the benefit of its various affiliates and subsidiaries where the aggregate amount of funds made available by Lender to Borrower is made on a revolving and term basis; all such advances of funds to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof (each such transaction also may be refened to as a "Disbursement").

 

(B)In conjunction with such Disbursements, the parties hereto find it proper, efficient and in the best interests of all parties to forego with the creation and tracking of individual notes or instruments of indebtedness, except as further described herein, and instead utilize the Capital Line of Credit to document and reflect that the outstanding principal balances and interest due pursuant to each and every Disbursement and Loan is properly accounted for and recorded separately as a loan receivable and loan payable on the respective books of the Lender and Borrower (the "Accounting Record").

 

(C)This Capital Line of Credit sets forth the terms and conditions under which Disbursements and Loans shall be made and repaid on a revolving basis. The first Disbursement to Borrower hereunder is being utilized to retire that certain indebtedness by and between Borrower and The Comstock Growth Fund, L.C. and will be specifically evidenced by a Note, hereafter defined, of an even date herewith.

 

(D)The proceeds of the Loan, are to be used by the Borrower for the purpose of funding the cash requirements of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities (a "Bonower Party") engaged in real estate development, asset management and real estate related services or for any other legal and related purpose as may be agreed to by the Borrower or the Lender, from time to time (each a "Purpose").

 

(E)To induce the Lender to make a Loan, the Borrower agrees to the te1ms and conditions in this Capital Line of Credit agreement.
