The Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Agent under this clause (a) from time to time, based on the Leverage Ratio as set forth in the Compliance Certificate most recently delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3.  Any adjustment to the Applicable Margin shall be effective (i) in the case of a Compliance Certificate delivered in connection with quarterly financial statements of the Parent delivered pursuant to Section 9.3., as of the date 50 days following the end of the last day of the applicable fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate, and (ii) in the case of a Compliance Certificate delivered in connection with annual financial statements of the Parent delivered pursuant to Section 9.3., as of the date 95 days following the end of the last day of the applicable fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate.  If the Borrower shall fail to deliver a Compliance Certificate within the time period required under Section 9.3., the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 6 until the Borrower delivers the required Compliance Certificate, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be determined as provided above effective as of the date of delivery of such Compliance Certificate.  If the Borrower shall deliver a Compliance Certificate which is

subsequently determined to be incorrect and, if correct when delivered, would have resulted in a higher Applicable Margin, Borrower shall pay to the Agent, within five (5) days after demand, any additional interest that would have accrued and been payable on any Loans using such higher Applicable Margin during the period that such lower Applicable Margin was applied incorrectly.  As of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Margin shall be determined pursuant to Level 3.

 

(b)                                 From and after the time that Administrative Agent receives written notice from Borrower that Parent or Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating from a Rating Agency and that Borrower has irrevocably elected to have the Applicable Margin determined based on Parent’s or Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating, “Applicable Margin” shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any interest accrued prior to receipt of such notice that is payable at the Applicable Margin determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio shall be payable as provided in Section 2.5.):

The Applicable Margin for each Base Rate Loan shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin for any Interest Period for all LIBOR Loans comprising part of the same LIBOR tranche shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first day of such Interest Period; provided, however, that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level

 

3











 

shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the application or change of the Credit Rating Levels pursuant to Section 9.4.(o) or receives written notice from the applicable Rating Agency of the application or a change in such Credit Rating Level, or otherwise confirms such application or change through information made publicly available by such Rating Agency.  From and after the first time that the Applicable Margin is based on Parent’s or Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating, the Applicable Margin shall no longer be calculated by reference to the Leverage Ratio.

 

‘Capitalization Rate’ means six and one-half percent (6.50%).

 

‘Credit Rating’ means, as of any date of determination, the highest of the credit ratings (or their equivalents) then assigned to Parent’s or Borrower’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt by, subject to the terms hereof, any of the Rating Agencies.  A credit rating of BBB- from S&P or Fitch is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and vice versa.  A credit rating of BBB from S&P or Fitch is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody’s and vice versa.  It is the intention of the parties that if Parent or Borrower only has one credit rating in effect from S&P or Moody’s, then such rating shall apply. If the Parent or Borrower has a credit rating from S&P or Moody’s, it may also include a credit rating from Fitch in determining its Credit Rating.  In the event the only credit rating is from Fitch, Borrower shall be deemed to not have a Credit Rating.  If Parent or Borrower shall have obtained a credit rating from more than one of the Rating Agencies, the highest of the credit ratings shall control provided that the next highest rating for such Person is only one level below that of the highest rating.  If the next highest rating for such Person is more than one level below that of the highest credit rating for such Person, the operative rating would be deemed to be one rating level lower than the highest of the ratings.  If Parent or Borrower shall have obtained a credit rating from one or more of the Rating Agencies and shall thereafter lose such credit rating or ratings (whether as a result of a withdrawal, suspension, election to not obtain a rating, or otherwise) from such Rating Agency or Rating Agencies and as a result does not have a credit rating from one or more of S&P or Moody’s, the Parent or Borrower shall be deemed for the purposes hereof not to have a credit rating.  If at any time any of the Rating Agencies or any Rating Agency which has issued a credit rating of Parent or Borrower shall no longer perform the functions of a securities rating agency, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency or agencies (and to correlate the system of ratings of each such substitute rating agency with that of the rating agency being replaced) and, pending such amendment, (i) in the case of a cessation of the functions of the Rating Agencies that have provided a credit rating, the Applicable Credit Rating shall, subject to the terms hereof, be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such cessation and (ii) in the case of a cessation of function of one Rating Agency and not the other Rating Agencies that have provided a credit rating, the Credit Rating of the other of the Rating Agencies shall, subject to the terms hereof, continue to apply.

 

‘Credit Rating Level’ means one of the following five pricing levels, as applicable, and provided that, from and after the time that Administrative Agent receives written notice from Borrower that Parent or Borrower has an Investment Grade Rating from at least one of the Rating Agencies (subject to the terms of the definition of Credit

 

4











 

Rating) and that Borrower has irrevocably elected to have the Applicable Margin determined based on Parent’s or Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating, during any period that the Parent has no Credit Rating Level, Credit Rating Level 5 shall be the applicable Credit Rating Level:

“Credit Rating Level 2” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB+ by S&P, Baa1 by Moody’s or, subject to the terms of the definition of “Credit Rating”, BBB+ by Fitch and Credit Rating Level 1 is not applicable;

 

“Credit Rating Level 3” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB by S&P, Baa2 by Moody’s or, subject to the terms of the definition of “Credit Rating”, BBB by Fitch and Credit Rating Levels 1 and 2 are not applicable;

 

“Credit Rating Level 4” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB- by S&P, Baa3 by Moody’s or, subject to the terms of the definition of “Credit Rating”, BBB- by Fitch and Credit Rating Levels 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable; and

 

“Credit Rating Level 5” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is less than BBB- by S&P, Baa3 by Moody’s or, subject to the terms of the definition of “Credit Rating”, BBB- by Fitch or there is no Credit Rating.

 

‘Ground Lease’ means a ground lease containing the following terms and conditions:  (a) a remaining term (exclusive of any unexercised extension options) of 25 years or more from the First Amendment Effective Date, or with respect to any Ground Lease with respect to any Property that is an Unencumbered Pool Property included in the Unencumbered Pool prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, 25 years or more from the Agreement Date; (b) the right of the lessee to mortgage and encumber its interest in the leased property without the consent of the lessor; (c) the obligation of the lessor to give the holder of any mortgage Lien on such leased property written notice of any defaults on the part of the lessee and agreement of such lessor that such lease will not be terminated until such holder has had a reasonable opportunity to cure or complete foreclosures, and fails to do so; (d) reasonable transferability of the lessee’s interest under such lease, including ability to sublease; and (e) such other rights customarily required by mortgagees making a loan secured by the interest of the holder of the leasehold estate demised pursuant to a ground lease.

If such service or such other Person approved by Agent described above no longer reports such rate or Agent determines in good faith that the rate so reported no longer accurately reflects the rate available to Agent in the London Interbank Market, then at the option of Agent, Loans shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as so determined LIBOR shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero except in the case of LIBOR Loans that are subject to a Specified Swap Contract that provides a hedge against interest rate risk.

(ii)                                  In the event that the Revolving Loan Termination Date has been extended as provided in Section 2.13.(b)(i), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Revolving Loan Termination Date to April 24, 2023.  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent at least 90 days prior to the current Revolving Loan Termination Date, a Revolving Loan Extension Request.

“Section 2.16. Increase of Commitments.

 

(a)                                 The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments (provided that after giving effect to any increases in the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments may not exceed $1,200,000,000) and/or increases in the aggregate amount of the Term Loan B Commitments (provided that after giving effect to any increases in the Term Loan B Commitments pursuant to this Section, the aggregate amount of the Term Loan B Commitments may not exceed $400,000,000) by providing written notice to the Agent.  Alternatively, Borrower may request that any increase of the Revolving Loan Commitments permitted hereunder instead be made as a new term loan to Borrower (the “Additional Term Loan”), and any Additional Term Loan shall count against the maximum permitted amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments.  Each such increase in a Commitment or Additional Term Loan must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.  No Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment or make any Additional Term Loan and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase or Additional Term Loan must be an Eligible Assignee.

 

(b)                                 If a new Revolving Loan Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Loan Lender agrees to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment, such Revolving Loan Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Loan Lender hereunder (or increases its Revolving Loan Commitment, in the case of an existing Revolving Loan Lender) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from

 

10











 

the other Revolving Loan Lenders its Revolving Loan Commitment Percentage (as determined after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Loan Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Revolving Loan Lenders at the Principal Office, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Revolving Loan Lender plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Loan Lenders under Section 2.3.(e) and Section 2.4.(j) which have not been repaid plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Loan Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Loan Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans.

 

(c)                                  If a new Term Loan B Lender becomes a party to this Agreement in order to provide such additional Term Loan B Commitment, or if any existing Term Loan B Lender agrees to increase its Term Loan B Commitment, such Term Loan B Lender shall on the date it becomes a Term Loan B Lender hereunder (or increases its Term Loan B Commitment, in the case of an existing Term Loan B Lender) make Term Loans B to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to such new Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Commitment (or the amount of the increase in its Term Loan B Commitment, in the case of an existing Term Loan B Lender), by making available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such new Term Loan B Lender’s Term Loan B Commitment (or the amount of the increase in its Term Loan B Commitment, in the case of an existing Term Loan B Lender).

 

(d)                                 If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement in order to provide such Additional Term Loan, or if any existing Lender agrees to make the Additional Term Loan, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender with respect to the Additional Term Loan hereunder make such Additional Term Loan to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s commitment with respect to the Additional Term Loan as set forth in the Term Loan Amendment, by making available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s commitment with respect to the Additional Term Loan as set forth in the Term Loan Amendment.

 

(e)                                  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.16. and Section 6.2., the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower at the account specified by Borrower.  No increase of the Commitments or Additional Term Loan may be effected under this Section if (x) a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase or Additional Term Loan (and if the Term Loan B Commitments are being increased or an Additional Term Loan is being made, no Default or Event of Default would arise after giving pro forma effect to such increase) or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct in all material respects on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly

 

11











 

relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents).  In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments or making of an Additional Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.16., (i) any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (ii) the Borrower shall, if requested by the affected Lender, make appropriate arrangements so that each new Lender, and any existing Lender increasing its Commitment, receives a new or replacement Note (including any note evidencing an Additional Term Loan), as appropriate, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment or commitment for the Additional Term Loan, as applicable, simultaneous with the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of Commitments or the making of the Additional Term Loan.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any increase of Commitments under this Section 2.16., the Agent may (without the consent of any Lender) amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the increase of Commitments.

 

(f)                                   In the event of the inclusion of an Additional Term Loan, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Loan shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as is necessary, to evidence such Additional Term Loan and have it be evidenced, guaranteed and, as applicable, secured by the other Loan Documents (the “Term Loan Amendment”), and all Lenders not providing the Additional Term Loan hereby consent to such limited scope amendment without future consent rights, provided that any such amendment regarding the Additional Term Loan shall provide that: (A) the final maturity date of the Additional Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Revolving Loan Termination Date or the Term Loan B Termination Date, without the written consent of the Requisite Revolving Loan Lenders if such maturity date would be earlier than the then effective Revolving Loan Termination Date, or the Requisite Term Loan B Lenders if such maturity date would be earlier than the then effective Term Loan B Termination Date, (B) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under the Additional Term Loan, (C) the Additional Term Loan shall be unsecured except to the extent of any collateral for the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, (D) the Additional Term Loan will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security, if any, with the existing Revolving Loans and any existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Additional Term Loan shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans and any Term Loans, (E) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to the Additional Term Loan shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Loan, (F) the Additional Term Loan may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the Revolving Loans and any existing Term Loans as shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Loan, and (G) the terms of the Additional Term Loan shall be (x) substantially identical to the terms set forth herein with respect to any other existing Term Loan (except as set forth in clauses (A) through (F) above) or (y) otherwise reasonably acceptable to Agent.  In connection with the Additional Term Loan, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and each of the Lenders providing such Additional Term Loan shall execute and deliver to the

 

12











 

Agent the Additional Term Loan Amendment and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence, guarantee or secure the Additional Term Loan including evidence of authority to borrow, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of the Additional Term Loan Amendment.  The Additional Term Loan Amendment, without the consent of any other Lender, may effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, the Lenders providing the Additional Term Loan and the Borrower, to implement the terms of the Additional Term Loan, including any amendments necessary to establish the Additional Term Loan, the commitments therefor, the maturity date, participation in payments under Sections 3.2., 11.1, and 11.4, approval of amendments under Section 13.6., treatment of such Additional Term Loan on an equal and ratable basis as the Revolving Loans and Term Loans, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, the Lenders providing the Additional Term Loan and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such Additional Term Loan.”

Such fee shall be determined by reference to the Level or Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time pursuant to the definition of Applicable Margin; provided, however, that (A) in the event that the Applicable Margin shall be determined under clause (a) of the definition of Applicable Margin, no change in the rate of such fee resulting from a change in the Level shall be effective (1) in the case of a Compliance Certificate delivered in connection with quarterly financial statements of the Parent delivered pursuant to Section 9.3., until the date 50 days following the end of the last day of the applicable fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate, (2) in the case of a Compliance Certificate delivered in connection with annual financial statements of the Parent delivered pursuant to Section 9.3., until  the date 95 days following the end of the last day of the applicable fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate, and (3) if the Borrower shall fail to deliver a Compliance Certificate within the time period required under Section 9.3., the rate of such fee shall be determined based on Level 6 until the Borrower delivers the required Compliance Certificate, in which case the rate of such fee shall be determined as provided above effective as of the date of delivery of such Compliance Certificate, and (B) in the event that the Applicable Margin shall be determined under clause (b) of the definition of Applicable Margin, no change in the rate of such fee resulting from a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent receives written notice of a change pursuant to Section 9.4.(o) or receives written notice from the applicable Rating Agency of a change in such Credit Rating Level, or otherwise confirms such change through information made publicly available by such Rating Agency.”

(a)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:

 

(i)                                     the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

 

(ii)                                  the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

 

14











 

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

 

(b)                                 If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.2.(a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.2.(a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for 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 the LIBOR Screen Rate or similar reference shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to Adjusted LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin).  Agent may require each Guarantor to consent to such amendment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.6., such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest and a copy of the proposed amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that such Requisite Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 5.02.(b), only to the extent the LIBOR Screen Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any request for the Conversion of any Loan to, or Continuation of any Loan as, a LIBOR Loan shall be ineffective and (y) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a LIBOR Loan, such borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.”
