to the

INDEPENDENCE REALTY trust, inc.

LONG TERM Incentive Plan

(Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2016)

 

 

Pursuant to Article 15 of the Independence Realty Trust, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2016), as amended (the “Plan”), the Board of Directors of Independence Realty Trust, Inc. has authorized the following amendments to the Plan, effective as of the date set forth above: 

 

	
 
	
1.
	
Section 4.1 the Plan is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“4.1. COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee appointed by the Board (which Committee shall consist of at least two directors) or its successor or such other committee of the Board to which the Board has delegated with authority to administer the Plan or, at the discretion of the Board from time to time, the Plan may be administered by the Board. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and may be changed at any time and from time to time in the discretion of, the Board. It is intended that at least two of the directors appointed to serve on the Committee shall be “non-employee directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) and that any such members of the Committee who do not so qualify shall abstain from participating in any decision to make or administer Awards that are made to Eligible Participants who at the time of consideration for such Award are persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the 1934 Act. However, the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as a “non-employee director” or shall fail to abstain from such action shall not invalidate any Award made by the Committee which Award is otherwise validly made under the Plan.

 

In addition, the Board may from time to time designate a subcommittee consisting of one or more of its members (the “Award Subcommittee”) to grant Awards to Eligible Participants who are not, at the time of the issuance of such Award, subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, subject to such limitations as may be prescribed by the Board from time to time. The authority of the Award Subcommittee to grant Awards includes the authority to determine the recipients of such Awards, to determine the number of Shares, OP Interests or the dollar amount to which such Awards relate and to determine the other terms and conditions of such Awards, but the authority to administer the Plan will otherwise remain with the Committee.  Moreover, the creation of an Award Subcommittee will not reduce or restrict the authority of the Committee, unless expressly provided by the Board.

 

The Board may reserve to itself any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee under the Plan or may act as administrator of the Plan for any and all purposes. To the extent the Board has reserved any authority and responsibility to itself, or during any time that the Board is acting as administrator of the Plan, it shall have all the powers of the Committee hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee or the Award Subcommittee shall include the Board. To the extent any action of the Board under the Plan conflicts with actions taken by the Committee or the Award Subcommittee, the actions of the Board shall control.”

 

 

	
 
	
2.
	
The introductory phrase of Section 4.3 the Plan is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

“4.3. AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.1, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:”aa-ex101_45.htm

(k)  Article IX of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 9.28 immediately after Section 9.27:

SECTION 9.28.  Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging 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 Regime”) 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 

 

7

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.

SECTION 3.  Amendment to the Existing Guarantee Agreement.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each of the Lenders party hereto agree to amend, and authorize the Administrative Agent to amend, the Existing Guarantee Agreement to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the bold and double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: bold and double-underlined text) as set forth on the pages of the Amended Guarantee Agreement attached as Annex A hereto.

SECTION 4.  Consent to Change of Jurisdiction.  (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 5.07 or 6.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement and effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below), the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto hereby consents to the Change of Jurisdiction; provided, however, that the consent set forth in this Section 4 shall cease to be effective unless the Migration Entity satisfies the requirements of Section 5.12 of the Amended Credit Agreement as if such Migration Entity were a newly formed Subsidiary and causes to be delivered to the Administrative Agent a legal opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of Homburger AG, Swiss counsel for the Lenders, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, regarding the creation, perfection and enforceability of the security interests required in the satisfaction of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, in each case, within 180 days of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees to in writing).  The consent set forth in this Section 4 shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purposes set forth herein, and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, which terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Amendment No. 1 (including Section 4 hereof) will be construed as an obligation of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to consummate the Change of Jurisdiction.

 

8

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, from and after the date that the Change of Jurisdiction is consummated but prior to the due execution of all relevant Security Documents contemplated by the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” and completion of the relevant actions required to perfect the security interests as contemplated within such Security Documents, the Migration Entity shall not (i) engage to any material extent in any business other than businesses of the type conducted by the Migration Entity on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and businesses reasonably incidental, complementary or related thereto or (ii) incur any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the Loan Documents and with any Restricted Subsidiary). 

SECTION 5.  Amendments to Grupiara Participacoes S.A. Security Documents.  The Borrower and the Administrative Agent desire to amend the Share Fiduciary Transfer Agreement dated as of November 15, 2016, as amended as of November 14, 2017 and as amended as of November 21, 2018 (as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof) and the other Security Documents related thereto (collectively, the “Grupiara Security Documents”) in order to cause the Grupiara Security Documents to be consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to Section 9.08(iv) of the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Grupiara Amendments”). Each of the Lenders party hereto agrees that it shall not object to the Grupiara Amendments and that the requirements of Section 9.08(iv) shall be deemed to be satisfied in respect of the Grupiara Amendments, and acknowledges that the Grupiara Amendments shall become effective on or after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in accordance therewith. 

SECTION 6.  Effectiveness of this Agreement.  This Agreement, the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth in Section 2 hereof and the amendment of the Existing Guarantee Agreement as set forth in Section 3 hereof shall become effective on the first date (the “Amendment No. 1 Effective Date”) on which each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(c)  The Administrative Agent shall have received, at least one Business Day prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your 

 

9

customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA PATRIOT Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (the “Beneficial Ownership Regulation”), that has been requested at least ten Business Days prior to the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. 

(d)  At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Agreement, no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(e)  The Administrative Agent shall have received all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Agreement to the extent required under Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 7.  Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each of the Lenders:

(a)  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower, and each of this Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and the Amended Guarantee Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

(b)  At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Agreement, no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 8.  Counterparts; Amendments.  This Agreement may not be amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except pursuant to a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

(a)  Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (a) shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and (b) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to any future consent to, or waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.  After the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, any reference in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby and any reference 

 

10

in the Loan Documents to the Guarantee Agreement shall mean the Guarantee Agreement as modified hereby.  This Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that, to the extent that any amendment made to the Existing Credit Agreement in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement shall constitute a novation within the meaning of Article 1271 et seq. of the Luxembourg Civil Code, then, notwithstanding any such novation, all the rights (including in relation to Liens) of the Secured Parties against the Loan Parties shall be maintained in accordance with Article 1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code.

SECTION 10.  Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.  (a)  THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 9.11 AND 9.15 OF THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT AS IF SUCH SECTION WERE SET FORTH IN FULL HEREIN.

(c)  Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, if any Dutch Loan Party is represented by an attorney in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement (including by way of accession to this Agreement), any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in, or made pursuant to, any Loan Document, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement that the existence and extent of the attorney's authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands.
