  (h) any failure by VEREIT to meet any internal or published industry analyst projections or forecasts or estimates of revenues or earnings for any period (it being understood and agreed that the facts and circumstances giving rise to such failure that are not otherwise excluded from the definition of a VEREIT Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a VEREIT Material Adverse Effect);   (i) any change in the price or trading volume of shares of VEREIT Common Stock (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 VEREIT Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a VEREIT Material Adverse Effect);   (j) any reduction in the credit rating of VEREIT 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 VEREIT Material Adverse Effect may be taken into account in determining whether there has been a VEREIT Material Adverse Effect); and   (k) compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement (including the Mergers, the Separation and the OfficeCo Distribution) (other than any action or failure to take any action pursuant to Section 4.1, unless Realty Income has unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its written consent to any such action or failure to take action);   provided, that (x) if any event, development, change or occurrence described in any of clauses (a), (b), (c), or (f) has had a disproportionate adverse effect on VEREIT and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other similarly situated participants in the commercial real estate REIT industry, then the incremental disproportionate adverse impact (and only the incremental disproportionate adverse impact) of such event, development, change or may be taken into account for purposes of determining whether a VEREIT Material Adverse Effect has occurred, and (y) if any event, development, change or occurrence has caused or is reasonably likely to cause VEREIT to fail to qualify as a REIT for federal Tax purposes, such event, development, change or occurrence shall be considered a VEREIT Material Adverse Effect, unless such failure has been, or is able to be, cured on commercially reasonable terms under the applicable provisions of the Code.
