Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Consent
Exhibit 10.1
Fifth Amendment to
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Consent
This Fifth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Consent (herein, this “Fifth Amendment”) is entered into as of November 12, 2020, among CTO Realty Growth, Inc., a Florida corporation (formerly known as Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (“CTO Florida”), and together with its successors and assigns, the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party hereto, the Lenders party hereto and Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
Preliminary Statements
A.The Borrower, the Guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), the financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2017, as amended by the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 14, 2018, as amended by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 24, 2019, as amended by the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 26, 2019, and as amended by the Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2020 (such Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as heretofore amended, and as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the Credit Agreement.
B.CTO Florida has adopted a plan to restructure its business operations so that it can elect and will qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (“REIT”) in accordance with Section 856 et. seq. of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any successor statute thereto (the “REIT Conversion”). In connection with the REIT Conversion, CTO Florida intends to merge (the “Merger”) with and into CTO NEWCO REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“NEWCO”) and a Subsidiary of the Borrower, with NEWCO being the surviving corporation. Upon consummation of the Merger, the surviving entity will change its name to CTO Realty Growth, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CTO Maryland”). Upon the closing of the Merger, CTO Maryland will succeed to and continue to operate the existing business of CTO Florida and will be obligated for all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and all Loan Documents to which CTO Florida is a party as successor by merger to CTO Florida and as the Borrower under the Credit Agreement.
C.Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower may not be party to any merger of the Borrower and a Subsidiary if the Borrower is not the corporation surviving the merger, except with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed).
D.CTO Florida has provided a limited recourse carve-out guaranty in connection with indebtedness of certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2014, by and among Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (the “CMBS Lender”), and the entities set forth on Schedule VI thereto (as amended, the “Xxxxx Fargo Loan Agreement”). The Merger requires the prior consent of the CMBS Lender. CTO Florida has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the CMBS Lender. However, in the event that the CMBS Lender does not provide written consent, CTO Florida may, in its sole discretion, complete the Merger without the written consent of the CMBS Lender, which may constitute a default under the Xxxxx Fargo Loan Agreement. Pursuant to Section 9.1(f) of the Credit Agreement, the default under any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money guaranteed by the Borrower aggregating in excess of $10,000,000 shall constitute an Event of Default (the “Xxxxx Fargo Cross Default”).
E.CTO Florida has requested that the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders (i) consent to the Merger and CTO Maryland’s assumption of the Obligations of CTO Florida under the Credit Agreement as successor by merger and as the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, (ii) waive the Xxxxx Fargo Cross Default, if any, and (iii) make certain other revisions to the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. | Consent to Merger. |
Upon execution of this Fifth Amendment by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent and, subject to Section 5, the Lenders hereby consent to the Merger. From and after the consummation of the Merger, all references to the term “Borrower” as used in the Credit Agreement and any of the Loan Documents shall be and mean CTO Realty Growth, Inc., a Maryland corporation.
Section 2. | Limited Waiver of Event of Default. |
On the Merger Consent Effective Date, the Required Lenders hereby waive the Xxxxx Fargo Cross Default; provided, that such waiver shall only be effective if and for so long as the Borrower’s guarantee in favor of the CMBS Lender remains a limited recourse carve-out guaranty, and not a recourse payment guaranty. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of the waiver in the foregoing sentence is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein, shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision contained therein or any other than existing Default or Event of Default, and except for the waiver of the Xxxxx Fargo Cross Default, all other terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall stand and remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
