W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, the Lenders and certain other parties entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 26, 2015, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 28, 2016 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders make certain modifications to the terms of the Credit Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make such modifications subject to the execution and delivery by Borrower and Guarantor of this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of TEN and NO/100 DOLLARS ($10.00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions.  All the terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

2.                                      Modification of the Credit Agreement.  Borrower, the Lenders and Agent do hereby modify and amend the Credit Agreement as follows:

 

(a)                                 By deleting in their entirety the definitions of “Capitalization Rate”, “Credit Rating”, “Credit Rating Level”, “Ground Lease”, “Investment Grade Rating”, “LIBOR”, “Rating Agencies”, “Sanctions Laws and Regulations”, “S&P”, “Total Asset Value”, “Unencumbered Pool Property Controlled Subsidiary”, and “Unencumbered Pool Value” appearing in Section 1.1. of the Credit Agreement, and by inserting in lieu thereof the following:

 

‘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

1











 

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 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 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 Second 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 Second Amendment Effective Date, 25 years or more from July 28, 2016; (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, to the extent that more than (i) ten percent (10%) of Total Asset Value would be attributable to Mortgage Notes Receivable (with each asset valued at the lower of its acquisition cost and its fair market value); (ii) twenty percent (20%) of Total Asset Value would be attributable to Unconsolidated Affiliates (valued at the greater of their aggregate cash investment in that entity or the portion of Total Asset Value attributable to such entity or its assets (with such value determined without regard to the limitations in this sentence) as the case may be); (iii) ten percent (10%) of Total Asset Value would be attributable to Unimproved Land (with each asset valued at its GAAP book value); (iv) fifteen percent (15%) of Total Asset Value would be attributable to the Development Properties (with each asset valued at its GAAP book value and including the Borrower’s pro-rata share of the GAAP book value of Development Properties owned by Unconsolidated Affiliates); (v) ten percent (10%) of Total Asset Value would be attributable to Marketable Securities (valued in accordance with GAAP); or (vi) the aggregate of investments under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) above would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Asset Value, such excess shall be excluded from the calculation of Total Asset Value.

(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;
