“Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any Party, any Effect that (x) is materially adverse to the assets, financial condition, business or continuing results of operations of such Party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) prevents or materially impairs or delays the ability of such Party to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, a Material Adverse Effect shall not include any Effect to the extent arising out of or resulting from:  (a) changes after the date hereof in general United States or global economic conditions, in financial, debt, securities, capital or credit markets, including changes in interest rates, general business, labor or regulatory conditions or social or political conditions; (b) changes after the date hereof generally affecting the industry or industries in which such Party or any of its Subsidiaries operates or any of the markets or geographical areas in which such Party or any of its Subsidiaries operate; (c) changes or proposed changes after the date hereof in Law or the interpretation thereof or in GAAP or the interpretation thereof; (d) acts of war, armed hostility, terrorism (including cyber-terrorism or cyber-attacks), riots, demonstrations, public disorders, civil disobedience or any escalation or worsening thereof; (e) force majeure events, including storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados or other acts of God, natural disasters or calamities; (f) any epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak (including COVID-19) or worsening thereof, including commercially reasonable responses thereto (including the COVID-19 Measures); (g) any Effect to the extent attributable to the negotiation, execution, announcement, pendency or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of transactions contemplated hereby, including the impact thereof on relationships, contractual or otherwise, of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries with customers, suppliers, lenders, partners, employees or regulators (provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to any representation or warranty to the extent the purpose of such representation or warranty is to address the consequences resulting from this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); (h) any failure, in and of itself, by such Party to meet any internal or published projections (whether published by such Party or any analysts) or forecasts or estimates of revenues or earnings or results of operations for any period (it being understood and agreed that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse Effect); (i) any change in the price or trading volume of any publicly traded securities of such Party (it being understood and agreed that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such change that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse Effect); (j) any reduction in the credit rating of such Party or its Subsidiaries (it being understood and agreed that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such change that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse Effect), (k) any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any tenant under any lease between such Party and such tenant, (l) acts required to be taken or not taken by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries under the terms of this Agreement or taken or not taken at the written request of the other Party, (m) with respect to the Company, any Company Transaction Litigation (except if it has resulted in a non-appealable judicial determination definitively finding a breach of duty by the Board of Trust Managers of the Company) or, with respect to either Party, any litigation alleging that the disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement (whether filed in preliminary or definitive form) violates the federal securities Laws (except if it has resulted in a non-appealable judicial determination definitively finding such a violation), and (n) with respect to the Company, the identity of Parent or any of its Affiliates or any communication by Parent or any of its Affiliates regarding plans, proposals, intentions or projections with respect to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or their employees or business; and provided, further, that if any Effect described in any of clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) or (f) has had a disproportionate adverse impact on such Party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other companies operating in the industry in which such Party operates, then the incremental impact of such Effect may be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.
