(a)    adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 


(b)     the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or




9









(c)    syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,
 
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR in accordance with this Section 3.08 with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment.  Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans based on LIBOR shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component based on LIBOR shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.


Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than 0.25% per annum for purposes of this Agreement.
In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.”
(Q)Sections 6.03(e) and (f) of the Credit Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following clauses (e), (f), and (g) are added to such Section 6.03 in their stead:
“(e)    of the occurrence of any Internal Control Event;

Borrower shall not permit the ratio of Unencumbered FC EBITDA for the Calculation Period applicable to the most-recent Calculation Date to that portion of interest expense attributable to Total Unsecured Indebtedness outstanding during the Calculation Period applicable to such Calculation Date to be less than 1.50:1.00.
(g)    Dividends and Distributions.  During the period commencing as of July 1, 2020 and continuing through (and including) June 30, 2021, Borrower shall not make any buyback or acquisition for value, direct or indirect, of any shares of any class of the Equity Interests of any Consolidated Party on the open market. Additionally, Borrower shall, to the extent an Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents, limit aggregate Restricted Payments to the minimum amount required to cause the Parent to maintain its REIT status; provided, however that if an Event of Default resulting from nonpayment or bankruptcy exists, or if the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement have been accelerated, the Borrower shall not make any Restricted Payments.”

(T)Section 10.17 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


“10.17    Electronic Signatures.
This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.  Borrower agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on Borrower to the same extent as a manual signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if manually executed. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include use or acceptance by Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower without further verification and (b) upon the request of Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.  For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.”
(U)Section 10.18 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“10.18    USA PATRIOT Act; Beneficial Ownership Certification. 
Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act (as hereinafter defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notify Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower, a certification regarding beneficial ownership required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation (the “Beneficial Ownership Certification”), and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.  Borrower shall, promptly following a request by Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.”
(V)Section 10.21 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


“10.21    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the 


12









extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.”
(W)The following Section 10.22 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement immediately following Section 10.21 thereof (and prior to the paragraph confirming that the Credit Agreement constitutes the final agreement of the parties):


“10.22    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): 
(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)    As used in this Section 10.22, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.


13









“Covered Entity” means any of the following:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).”
		
	2.
	General Loan Document Amendments.  Each of the Loan Documents is hereby further amended as follows (to the extent the amendments set forth herein do not already address such matters):


(A)Each reference to any one or more of the Loan Documents (including the Credit Agreement) contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is deemed to refer to such documents as modified by this Modification.  In addition, this Modification shall be deemed to be included as a “Loan Document” in any and all references to the “Loan Documents” contained in any of the Loan Documents existing as of the date hereof or which are executed following the date hereof.  Furthermore, this Modification shall be deemed to be included as a “Modification and Amendment” in any and all references to the “Modifications and Amendments” contained in any of the Loan Documents existing as of the date hereof or which are executed following the date hereof.


3.Reaffirmation of Credit Agreement and Guaranty.  The Borrower and Guarantor hereby consent and agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Modification, repeat and reaffirm their respective continuing obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, Guaranty and the other Loan Documents (as applicable), and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Modification shall not in any way affect the validity and enforceability of the Credit Agreement, Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or reduce, impair or discharge their obligations thereunder.

5.Supplemental Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  As an inducement to the Administrative Agent and Lenders to enter into this Modification, Borrower and Guarantor (as applicable) each represents, warrants, covenants and acknowledges (as applicable) as follows (it being acknowledged by all parties that each such representation, warranty, covenant and acknowledgment relates to material matters upon which Lenders have relied):


(A)There are no defenses, offsets or counterclaims or other claims, legal or equitable, available to Borrower, Guarantor, or any other person or entity with respect to this Modification, the Loan Documents, or any other instrument, document and/or agreement described herein or therein, as modified and amended hereby, or with respect to the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan, as the case may be.


(B)Each of the Borrower and Guarantor has the right and power and has obtained all authorizations necessary to execute and deliver this Modification and to perform its respective obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Modification) and the other Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms.

(C)There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding, pending or threatened, in any court or before any arbitrator or governmental authority, that has a reasonable probability of materially adversely affecting (during the 


14









term of the Loan) Borrower, Guarantor, or any transaction contemplated hereby or by the Loan Documents, or the ability of Borrower or Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Modification or the other Loan Documents as modified and amended hereby.
(D)Each of the Borrower and Guarantor is duly organized and validly existing in its state of organization.

(E)The execution and delivery by the Borrower and Guarantor of this Modification and (as applicable) the performance by such parties of this Modification and each of the Loan Documents (in each case as amended hereby, if applicable) in accordance with their respective terms, does not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise:  (i) require any approvals from any governmental authority or violate any requirements of law relating to the Borrower or Guarantor; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Borrower or Guarantor or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrower or Guarantor, other than in favor of the Lenders.


(F)No Default or Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents as of the date hereof and, as of the date hereof, all of the covenants, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and/or Guarantor and contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct as of the date of this Modification.

(D)a current Certificate of Existence/Good Standing for each of the Borrower and Guarantor issued by the jurisdiction in which such entity is organized;


(E)certificate of “no change” from Borrower and Guarantor certifying that each such party’s organizational documents have not been amended since January 9, 2018, or have not been amended except to the extent of such amendments as have been attached to such certificates as have been provided to Administrative Agent in writing;


(F)original counterparts of resolutions from each of the Borrower and Guarantor authorizing the execution and delivery of this Modification; and




15

The failure of the Borrower or Guarantor to perform any of its obligations under this Modification or the material falsity of any representation or warranty made herein shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders (as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement) after expiration of any applicable cure period, constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents.


8.GOVERNING LAW.  THIS MODIFICATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

The amendments and modifications contained herein shall be deemed to have prospective application only, unless otherwise specifically stated herein.  If any provision of any of this Modification or of any Loan Document, as amended hereby, is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Modification shall be as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.  Each counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns.


13.Release.  Borrower and Guarantor, for themselves and for each of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby release and waive all claims and/or defenses they now may have against Administrative Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns on account of any occurrence relating to the Loan, the Loan Documents and/or the transactions reflected therein or thereby which accrued prior to the date hereof, including, but not limited to, any claim that Administrative Agent or any Lender: (a) breached any obligation to Borrower and/or Guarantor in connection with the Loans, (b) was or is in any way involved with Borrower and/or Guarantor as a partner, joint venturer, or in any other capacity whatsoever other than as a lender, (c) failed to fund any portion of the Loan or any other sums as required under any document or agreement in reference thereto, or (d) failed to timely respond to any offers to cure any defaults under any document or agreement executed by Borrower, Guarantor or any third party or parties in favor of Administrative Agent and Lenders. This release and waiver shall be effective as of the date of this Modification and shall be binding upon Borrower and Guarantor and each of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns. The terms “Administrative Agent” and “Lenders” as used herein shall include, but shall not be limited to, its or their present and former officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys.


14.Final Agreement.

shall be permitted to contradict or vary their terms. There are no promises, terms, conditions or obligations other than those contained in this Modification.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. Administrative Agent and Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that at no time shall any prior or subsequent course of conduct by Borrower or Administrative Agent directly or indirectly limit, impair or otherwise adversely affect any of Administrative Agent’s rights, interests or remedies in connection with the Loan and the Loan Documents or obligate Administrative Agent to agree to, or to negotiate or consider an agreement to, any waiver of any obligation or default by Borrower under any Loan Document or any amendment to any term or condition of any Loan Document.


15.Electronic Signatures. This Modification may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Borrower and Guarantor hereby agree that as soon as reasonably possible, Borrower and Guarantor will provide an original of this Modification to Administrative Agent that will include the wet signatures of Borrower and Guarantor next to any Electronic Signatures.
