Related-party conflict disclosed — Manager — unlimited distributions; no indenture covenant limiting distributions to Manager

High

The indenture contains no covenant limiting the Manager's ability to cause the Company to make cash distributions to itself as 100% member. Amounts distributed to the Manager will not be available to make interest or principal payments or fund redemption requests on the Bonds.

Neither the Indenture nor the forms of Bonds contain any covenant limiting the ability of our Manager to cause us to make distributions of cash from us to our Manager in respect of its 100% membership interest in us. We anticipate that distributions of cash will be made from us to our Manager, in amounts as determined by our Manager, as our sole member, and that such amounts will be at least sufficient to pay all expenses and liabilities of our sole member, As our Manager will conduct all of our operations through its personnel, we believe such distributions to be necessary; however, amounts distributed to our Manager will not be available to us to make payments of interest or principal or to fund redemption requests on the Bonds.

Related-party conflict disclosed — Megatel Capital Investment, LLC (Manager) / MCI Development 1, LLC (Developer) / Company — common ownership conflict

High

The Manager, Developer (primary borrower), and the Company are all under common beneficial ownership by Zach Ipour and Aaron Ipour. Loans from the Company to Developer SPEs are approved by the Manager in its sole discretion without independent third-party assessment. All agreements between these parties are not the result of arm's-length negotiations.

The members of our Manager are also the beneficial owners of the Developer and will have control of operations for the Developer and any SPEs of the Developer. Accordingly, the members of the Manager will have executive control over the projects the Developer and SPEs of the Developer undertake as well as approval of the Loans for us. Therefore, we anticipate that each Loan to an SPE of the Developer will be approved by the Manager at its sole discretion without independent, third-party assessment, so long as it conforms to the lending criteria requirements.
PPM p.1897% confidence

Related-party conflict disclosed — Megatel Capital Investments, LLC (Manager) / Megatel Homes entities (Borrower) — common ownership

High

The Manager, the Company, and Megatel (the sole borrower under the Master Credit Facility) are under common ownership by Aaron and Zach Ipour. Loans are made exclusively to affiliated Megatel entities; none of the compensation arrangements, including fees paid to the Manager, were determined through arm's-length negotiations. The Manager may be less likely to enforce default remedies against Megatel to the potential detriment of Bondholders.

None of the agreements or arrangements, including those relating to compensation, among us, the Manager, Megatel, or their affiliates, are the result of arm's-length negotiations. A third-party management team may be more risk-averse and prudent in making investment decisions than a management team with an ownership stake or other pecuniary interest in an investment entity.

Key-person history disclosed — Aaron Ipour and Zach Ipour — no employment agreements, no key-man insurance

Medium

The Company's success depends significantly on the contributions of the Sponsor's management team, particularly Aaron and Zach Ipour. The Company has no employment agreements with these individuals and no key-man life insurance on any of them, creating material key-person risk.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of our Sponsor's management team. We do not have employment agreements with any of these individuals nor do we currently have key man life insurance on any of these individuals. If any of them were to cease their affiliation with us, our Manager or our Sponsor, our Sponsor may be unable to find suitable replacements, and our operating results could suffer.

Key-person history disclosed — Zach Ipour and Aaron Ipour — no employment agreements, no key-man insurance

Medium

The fund's operations are entirely dependent on the Manager's management team (Zach and Aaron Ipour). There are no employment agreements or key-man life insurance for any of these individuals, creating key-person risk.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of our Manager's management team and the Developer's management. We do not have employment agreements with any of these individuals nor do we currently have key man life insurance on any of these individuals. If any of them were to cease their affiliation with us, our Manager, or our Developer, our Manager and our Developer's manager may be unable to find suitable replacements, and our operating results and the operating results of our Developer could suffer.
PPM p.1695% confidence

Related-party conflict disclosed — Investment Allocation Agreement — Company is last in rotation among five affiliated MCI funds

Medium

MCI Income Fund V is last in the five-fund rotation for investment opportunities under the Investment Allocation Agreement, receiving an opportunity only after MCI SIF, MCI PEF, MCI PIF II, and MCI PIF IV each pass. This structural disadvantage could limit attractive lending opportunities available to the Company.

The fifth proposed investment opportunity that meets the investment criteria for more than one of the parties of the Investment Allocation Agreement will be given to us. If we have insufficient proceeds to make the proposed investment, that investment opportunity will be given to the MCI SIF.
PPM p.5395% confidence

Related-party conflict disclosed — Manager — competing/concurrent sponsored vehicles

Medium

The Manager has sponsored similar private programs concurrently and may do so in the future. Officers may face conflicts in allocating loan opportunities and may devote less time to this fund when managing competing vehicles.

Our Manager has sponsored similar privately offered programs and may in the future, or concurrently, sponsor similar private and public programs that have investment objectives similar to the Developer and its SPEs. Our Manager and its affiliates and officers may have obligations to those programs, the fulfillment of which might not be in the best interests of us, or any of our investors. Our officers and the Manager may face conflicts of interest in allocating Loan opportunities, administration and underwriting of the Loans, enforcement of the loans, and other business opportunities.
PPM p.1995% confidence

Related-party conflict disclosed — No limit on distributions to the sole Member (MCI Holdings, LLC)

Medium

The indenture contains no covenant limiting the Manager's ability to cause distributions of cash to the sole member (MCI Holdings, LLC). Such distributions reduce amounts available to pay bondholders.

Neither the Indenture nor the forms of Bonds contain any covenant limiting the ability of our Manager to cause us to make distributions of cash from us to our Member. We anticipate that distributions of cash will be made from us to our Member, in amounts as determined by our Manager, and that such amounts will be at least sufficient to pay all expenses and liabilities of our Member.
