    1. DEFINED TERMS.

    2. AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

   2.2       Amendment to the Definition of “Total Asset Value”.  The definition of “Total Asset Value” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended by (i) deleting the period after the word “Value” in the second clause (g) and substituting with “; and” in lieu thereof and (ii) adding a new clause (h) as follows:

Notwithstanding the above, (i) to the extent that the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to Unencumbered Pool Properties subject to Ground Leases exceeds thirty percent (30%) of total Unencumbered Asset Value (provided that the Metro Park Ground Lease shall not be taken into account when calculating such thirty percent (30%) limitation), such excess shall be excluded from Unencumbered Asset Value; (ii) to the extent that the aggregate rental revenue of the Unencumbered Pool Properties generated from a single tenant or Affiliated tenants in the aggregate exceeds twenty-five percent (25.0%), in each such case, such excess shall be excluded when determining Net Operating Income for the purposes of calculating Unencumbered Asset Value; and (iii) to the extent that the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to Unencumbered Pool Properties in Canada exceeds twenty percent (20.0%) of total Unencumbered Asset Value, such excess shall be excluded from Unencumbered Asset Value.

Exhibit 10.87

The calculations set forth in this Section 9.3 above shall be in Dollars and any conversion from Canadian Dollars to Dollars shall be calculated using the same methodology as the conversion from Canadian Dollars to Dollars in Hudson REIT’s public reporting practice with respect thereto in accordance with all appropriate guidance applicable thereto.” 


2.7       Amendment to Article XIII. The following new Section 13.26 is added to the Credit Agreement:


            “Section 13.26. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for swap agreements 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):


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.


As used in this Section 13.26, 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.







Exhibit 10.87

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:


a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);


a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or


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).” 


3.         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.


            The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:


3.1       The Amendment.  This Amendment has been duly and validly executed by an authorized officer of the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

3.3       Claims and Defenses.

3.4       No Default.  After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the execution and delivery of this Amendment or by the performance or observance of any provision hereof.


3.5       Credit Agreement Representations and Warranties.  After giving effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) or in any other Loan Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof (as though made on and as of the date hereof), except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier specified date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date when made.
