Straight line rent leveling adjustments required under GAAP and amortization of intangibles pursuant to FASB ASC 805 shall be disregarded in the determination of EBITDA (to the extent such adjustments would otherwise have been included in the determination of EBITDA).

“Unconsolidated Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person in whom such Person holds an Investment, which Investment is accounted for in the financial statements of such Person on an equity basis of accounting and whose financial results would not be consolidated under GAAP with the financial results of such Person on the consolidated financial statements of such Person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, SIR shall not be considered to be an Unconsolidated Affiliate of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

“Unencumbered Asset Value” means, at any given time, the sum of: (a)(i) Net Operating Income from all Unencumbered Assets for the fiscal quarter most recently ending times (ii) 4 divided by (iii) the Capitalization Rate; (b) the value of the Equity Interests in SIR owned by the Borrower, such value determined at the lower of cost or Fair Market Value, so long as such Equity Interests are not subject to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in clauses (a) through (c) or (e) through (i) of the definition thereof) or to any Negative Pledge (other than a Negative Pledge permitted under clause (iii) of Section 9.2.(b)); and (c) unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower so long as such cash and Cash Equivalents are not subject to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in clauses (a) through (c) or (e) through (i) of the definition thereof) or to any Negative Pledge (other than a Negative Pledge permitted under clause (iii) of Section 9.2.(b)).

With respect to any Unencumbered Asset acquired during such fiscal quarter, Net Operating Income attributable to such Unencumbered Asset shall be included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.

 

“Unencumbered Net Operating Income” or “Unencumbered NOI” means the sum of (a) Net Operating Income from all Unencumbered Assets for the fiscal quarter most recently ending and (b) cash dividends received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from SIR during the fiscal quarter most recently ending.

(c)           The Term Loan Agreement is amended by restating Section 9.1.(a) thereof in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)           Leverage Ratio.  The Borrower shall not permit the ratio of (i) Total Indebtedness to (ii) Total Asset Value to exceed (x) 0.65 to 1.00 at any time before the SIR Investment Period End Date or (y) 0.60 to 1.00 on or at any time thereafter.

(d)           Unencumbered Leverage Ratio.  The Borrower shall not permit the ratio of (i) Unsecured Indebtedness to (ii) Unencumbered Asset Value to exceed (x) 0.65 to 1.00 at any time before the SIR Investment Period End Date or (y) 0.60 to 1.00 on or at any time thereafter.

 

(e)           The Credit Agreement is amended by restating Section 9.1(h)(i) thereof in its entirety as follows:

 

(i)            Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates and other Persons that are not Subsidiaries (other than SIR), such that the aggregate value of such Investments (determined in a manner consistent with the definition of Total Asset Value or, if not contemplated under the definition of Total Asset Value, as determined in accordance with GAAP) exceeds 10.0% of Total Asset Value at any time;

 

(f)            The Credit Agreement is amended by restating Section 9.2.(b) in its entirety as follows:

 

(b)           The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to, enter into, assume or otherwise be bound by any Negative Pledge except for a Negative Pledge contained in (i) an agreement (x) evidencing Indebtedness which (A) the Borrower, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may create, incur, assume, or permit or suffer to exist without violation of this Agreement and (B)  is secured by a Lien permitted to exist under the Loan Documents, and (y) which prohibits the creation of any other Lien on only the property securing such Indebtedness as of the date such agreement was entered into; (ii) an agreement relating to the sale of a Subsidiary or assets pending such sale, provided that in any such case the Negative Pledge applies only to the Subsidiary or the assets that are the subject of such sale, or (iii) a Negative Pledge contained in any agreement that evidences unsecured Indebtedness which contains restrictions on encumbering assets that are substantially similar to those restrictions contained in the Loan Documents.

 

(g)           The Credit Agreement is amended by restating the first sentence of Section 9.3. in its entirety as follows:

 

4
