WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 10, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) The Credit Agreement is amended by restating the definitions of “Gross Asset Value” and “Unencumbered Asset” contained in Section 1.1. thereof in their entirety as follows:
“Gross Asset Value” means, at a given time, the sum (without duplication) of (a) (i) Capitalized EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis at such time minus (ii) Capitalized EBITDA for any Property acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary during the immediately preceding period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower, the purchase price of which Property the Borrower has elected to add to Gross Asset Value in accordance with clause (e) below, plus (b) all cash, cash equivalents (excluding tenant deposits and other cash and cash equivalents the disposition of which is restricted) and marketable securities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such time, plus (c) the current book value of all real property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries upon which construction is then in progress and all land held for development, plus (d) the Borrower’s respective Ownership Shares of the current book values of all real property of each Unconsolidated Affiliate upon which construction is in progress, plus (e) the purchase price paid by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (less any amounts paid to the Borrower or such Subsidiary as a purchase price adjustment, held in escrow, retained as a contingency reserve, or in connection with other similar arrangements) for any Property (other than a Development Property) acquired by the Borrower or such Subsidiary during the immediately preceding period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower so long as the Capitalized EBITDA of such Property is subtracted from Gross Asset Value in accordance with clause (a)(ii) above, plus (f) the contractual purchase price of Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries subject to purchase obligations, repurchase obligations, forward commitments and unfunded obligations to the extent such obligations and commitments are included in determinations of Total Liabilities. No more than 5% of the Gross Asset Value may be attributable to the current book value of land held for development.
“Unencumbered Asset” means a Property which satisfies all of the following requirements: (a) such Property is owned in fee simple, or leased under an Eligible Ground Lease, by the Borrower, a Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary; (b) such Property is a completed retail, office, industrial, manufacturing or distribution Property leased to third party tenants on a net lease basis; (c) such Property is located in a State of the United States of America or in the District of Columbia; (d) regardless of whether such Property is owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, the Borrower has the right directly, or indirectly through a Subsidiary, to take the following actions without the need to obtain the consent of any Person: (i) to create Liens on such Property as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, and (ii) to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Property; (e) neither such Property, nor if such Property is owned by a Subsidiary, any of the Borrower’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary, is subject to (i) any Lien other than Permitted Liens or (ii) any Negative Pledge; (f) the Occupancy Rate of such Property equals or exceeds 85%; (g) such Property is not a Development Property; and (h) such Property is free of all structural defects, title defects, environmental conditions or other adverse matters except for defects, conditions or matters individually or collectively which are not material to the profitable operation of such Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Silverton Business Center shall be deemed to be an Unencumbered Asset even if it does not satisfy the requirements set forth in clauses (b) (as it relates to such Property being leased on a net leased basis) and (f) above, so long as the Occupancy Rate for the Silverton Business Center equals or exceeds 80% and the Silverton Business Center satisfies all other remaining requirements of this definition and (ii) any other Property approved by the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) shall be deemed to be an Unencumbered Asset even if such Property does not satisfy all of the requirements herein, so long as such Property continues to satisfy all those remaining requirements in this definition that were satisfied by such Property at the time of such Requisite Lender approval.
(b) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 8.14.(a) thereof in its entirety as follows:
(a) Requirements to Become a Guarantor. As soon as available, and in any event within 30 days of the date on which any of the following conditions first applies to any Subsidiary that is not already a Guarantor, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent each of the following in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) an Accession Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and (ii) the items that would have been delivered under subsections (iv) through (viii) and (xiv) of Section 6.1.(a) if such Subsidiary had been required to become a Guarantor on the Agreement Date:
(w) such Subsidiary Guarantees, or otherwise becomes obligated in respect of, any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary;
(x) such Subsidiary (A) owns any asset the value of which is included in the determination of Unencumbered Asset Value and (B) either such Subsidiary (i) has incurred, acquired or suffered to exist any Indebtedness other than Nonrecourse Indebtedness or (ii) is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary;
(y) such Subsidiary becomes a Material Subsidiary; or
(z) such Subsidiary receives an asset from a Loan Party under a transaction permitted under clause (x) or (y) of Section 10.4.(ii).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to compliance with Section 10.10., (A) Crest Net Lease, Inc. and its Deemed Taxable REIT Subsidiaries shall not be required to become Guarantors and (B) upon written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower may designate up to two Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (in addition to Crest Net Lease, Inc.) that shall not, and whose Deemed Taxable REIT Subsidiaries shall not, be required to become Guarantors.
