Secured Revolving Credit Facility

4. SECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY:

On December 2, 2015, the Operating Partnership entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Key Bank Credit Agreement”) with Keybank National Association and Keybanc Capital Markets Inc., as lead arranger (collectively, “Key Bank”). The Key Bank Credit Agreement contemplated a $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility, with an initial term of two years, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain other customary conditions.

Loans drawn down by the Operating Partnership under the facility will need to specify, at the Operating Partnership’s option, whether they are base-rate loans or LIBOR-rate loans. The base-rate loans initially bore a base rate of interest calculated as the sum of (i) the greater of: (a) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Key Bank as its “prime rate,” (b) 0.5% above the rate announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (or Federal Funds Effective Rate), or (c) LIBOR plus 100 basis points (bps); plus (ii) 200 to 250 bps, depending on the overall leverage of the properties. The LIBOR-rate loans initially bore interest at a rate of LIBOR rate plus 300 to 350 bps, depending upon the overall leverage of the properties. Each revolving credit loan under the facility will be evidenced by separate promissory note(s). The Operating Partnership agreed to pay to Key Bank an unused facility fee in the amount calculated as 0.30% for usage less than 50% and 0.20% for usage 50% or greater, calculated as a per diem rate, multiplied by the excess of the total commitment over the outstanding principal amount of the loans under the facility at the time of the calculation. Key Bank has the right to reduce the amount of loan commitments under the facility provided that, among other things, they give an advance written notice of such reductions and that in no event the total commitment under the facility is less than $25.0 million. The Operating Partnership may at its option convert any of the revolving credit loans into a revolving credit loan of another type which loan will then bear interest as a base-rate loan or a LIBOR-rate loan, subject to certain conversion conditions. In addition, Key Bank also agreed to extend, from time to time, as the Operating Partnership may request, upon an advance written notice, swing loans in the total amount not to exceed $5.0 million. Such loans, if and when extended, will also be evidenced by separate promissory note(s).

Due to the revolving nature of the facility, amounts prepaid under the facility may be borrowed again. The Key Bank Credit Agreement contemplates (i) mandatory prepayments by the Operating Partnership of any borrowings under the facility in excess of the total allowable commitment, among other events, and (ii) optional prepayments, without any penalty or premium, in whole or in part, subject to payments of any amounts due associated with the prepayment of LIBOR rate contracts.

The Operating Partnership’s obligations under the facility are secured by a first priority lien and security interest to be held by the agents for Key Bank, in certain of the property, rights and interests of the Operating Partnership, the Guarantors (as defined below) and their subsidiaries now existing and as may be acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”). GTJ REIT and each party to the Guaranty are collectively referred to as the “Guarantors.” The parties to the Key Bank Credit Agreement also entered into several side agreements, including, the Joinder Agreements, the Assignment of Interests, the Acknowledgments, the Mortgages, the Guaranty, and other agreements and instruments to facilitate the transactions contemplated under the Key Bank Credit Agreement. Such agreements contain terms and provisions that are customary for instruments of this nature.

The Operating Partnership’s continuing ability to borrow under the facility will be subject to its ongoing compliance with various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, with respect to liquidity, minimum occupancy, total indebtedness and minimum net worth. The Key Bank Credit Agreement contains events of default and remedies customary for loan transactions of this sort including, among others, those related to a default in the payment of principal or interest, a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, and a default with regard to performance of certain covenants. The Key Bank Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default (in certain cases subject to customary cure), in the event of which, amounts outstanding under the facility may be accelerated. The Key Bank Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties of the Operating Partnership which must continue to be true and correct in all material respects as a condition to future draws.

On July 27, 2017, the maturity date under the Key Bank Credit Agreement was extended from December 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018, with an additional extension option to June 30, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

On February 27, 2018, the Operating Partnership exercised its option to extend the maturity date of the secured revolving line of credit facility with Key Bank to June 30, 2019.

On July 31, 2018, the maturity date of the secured revolving credit facility with Key Bank was extended from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020 and the applicable margin for LIBOR-rate loans and base-rate loans applicable to the secured revolving credit facility with Key Bank was reduced by 50 bps. The base rate loans bore a base rate of interest calculated as the sum of (i) the greater of: (a) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Key Bank as its “prime rate,” (b) 50 bps above the rate announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (or Federal Funds Effective Rate), or (c) LIBOR plus 100 bps; plus (ii) 150 to

200 bps, depending on the overall leverage of the properties. The LIBOR rate loans bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 250 to 300 bps, depending upon the overall leverage of the properties.

On September 11, 2019, the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the Key Bank Credit Agreement which reduced the applicable margin for LIBOR-rate loans and base-rate loans by 10 bps. The base-rate loans will bear a base rate of interest calculated as the sum of (i) the greater of: (a) the fluctuating annual rate of interest announced from time to time by Key Bank as its “prime rate,” (b) 50 bps above the rate announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (or Federal Funds Effective Rate), or (c) LIBOR plus 100 bps; plus (ii) 140 to 190 bps, depending on the overall leverage of the properties.  The LIBOR-rate loans will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 240 to 290 bps, depending upon the overall leverage of the properties. In addition, the maturity date of the secured revolving credit facility with Key Bank was extended from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2022.

On March 27, 2020, the Operating Partnership drew down $10.0 million under the secured revolving credit facility with Key Bank. The Operating Partnership increased its borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility with Key Bank as a precautionary measure in order to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The contemplated uses of proceeds under the Key Bank Credit Agreement include, among others, repayment of indebtedness, funding of acquisitions, development and capital improvements, as well as working capital expenditures. Outstanding borrowings under the secured revolving credit facility with Key Bank as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 were $50.0 million, which are considered LIBOR-rate loans.

As of June 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership was in compliance with all covenants required in connection with the Key Bank Credit Agreement.
