Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “our company” refer to Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, a New York limited liability company, which we refer to as our “Operating Company,” and to their respective subsidiaries.

This General Form for Registration of Securities on Form 10 (this “Form 10”) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies, and prospects, both business and financial. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that represent our beliefs concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, but not limited to, “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would be,” “believe,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations of comparable terminology. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Form 10 is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are disclosed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10.

Item 1. Business

We are filing this Form 10 to register our shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (our “common stock”), pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. We are subject to the registration requirements of Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act because as of December 31, 2016, the aggregate value of our assets exceeded the applicable threshold and our common stock was held of record by 2,000 or more persons. As a result of the registration of our common stock pursuant to the Exchange Act, following the effectiveness of this Form 10, we will be subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. In particular, we will be required to file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and Current Reports on Form 8-K and otherwise comply with the disclosure obligations of the Exchange Act applicable to issuers filing registration statements to register a class of securities pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

General

We are an externally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), formed as a Maryland corporation in 2007 to acquire and hold single-tenant, commercial real estate properties throughout the United States that are leased to the properties’ operators under long-term leases. We focus on real estate that is operated by a single tenant, and where the real estate is an integral part of the tenant’s business. Our diversified portfolio of real estate includes retail properties, such as quick service and casual dining restaurants, healthcare facilities, industrial manufacturing facilities, warehouse and distribution centers, and corporate offices, amongst others. We target properties with credit-worthy tenants that look to engage in a long term lease relationship. Through long term leases, our tenants are able to retain control of their critical locations, while conserving their debt and equity capital to fund their fundamental business operations.

As of December 31, 2016, we owned a diversified portfolio of 417 individual net leased commercial properties located in 37 states, which were 100% leased, with approximately 12.9 million rentable square feet of operational space, 106 different commercial tenants, and no single tenant accounting for 5% or more of our annual rental stream.

We elected to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), beginning with our taxable year ending December 31, 2008. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income tax to the extent that we meet certain requirements, including that we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income to our stockholders, and other requirements based on the composition of our asset portfolio and sources of income.

We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held directly or indirectly by, Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the “Operating Company”). We are the sole managing member of the Operating Company and as of December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 91.4% of its issued and outstanding membership units, with the remaining 8.6% of its membership units held by persons who were issued membership units in exchange for their interests in properties acquired by the Operating Company.

As we conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Company, we are structured as what is referred to as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”). The UPREIT structure allows a property owner to contribute their property to the Operating Company in exchange for membership units and generally defer taxation of a resulting gain until the contributor later disposes of the membership units. The membership units of the Operating Company held by members of the Operating Company other than us are referred to herein and in our consolidated financial statements as “noncontrolling interests,” “noncontrolling membership units,” or “membership units,” and are convertible into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain restrictions. We allocate consolidated earnings to holders of our common stock and noncontrolling membership unit holders of the Operating Company based on the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and noncontrolling membership units outstanding during the year. As of December 31, 2016, there were approximately 1.43 million noncontrolling membership units outstanding. The weighted average number of noncontrolling membership units outstanding during 2016 was 1.42 million.

2016 Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we:

 

    Grew total revenues to $142.9 million, an increase of 45.7% compared to the prior year.

 

    Generated earnings per share, including amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, of $2.76, representing an increase of $0.61 per diluted share.

 

    Generated Funds From Operations (“FFO”) of $5.53 per diluted share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) of $4.58 per diluted share, and Operating-Adjusted Funds From Operations (“O-AFFO”) of $5.29 per diluted share.

 

    Achieved a total pre-tax return of 11.2%, assuming investor participation in our Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“distribution reinvestment plan” or “DRIP”). This total return is comprised of income from distributions and share price appreciation, and is net of any fees payable to our Manager and our Asset Manager (each as defined below).

 

    Increased the Determined Share Value (as defined below) from $74.00 per share at December 31, 2015 to $77.00 per share at December 31, 2016, representing a 4.1% increase. The Determined Share Value was subsequently increased to $79.00 per share as of the February 10, 2017 meeting of our board of directors.

 

    Increased our monthly cash distribution to our stockholders from $0.405 per share at December 31, 2015, to $0.41 per share during our February 2016 meeting of our board of directors, which remained in effect through December 31, 2016 and represented a 1.2% increase. Based upon the then current Determined Share Value of $77.00 per share, this $0.41 per share distribution rate represented an approximate 6.4% annualized yield for new investments. We subsequently increased the distribution to $0.415 per share at the February 10, 2017 meeting of our board of directors, resulting in an approximate 6.3% annualized yield on the current Determined Share Value of $79.00 per share.

 

    Closed 22 real estate acquisitions totaling $518.8 million, adding 88 new properties and a capital expansion on an existing property to our portfolio at a weighted average initial cash capitalization rate of 6.83%. These newly added properties are subject to leases with a weighted average remaining lease term of 15.4 years. Capitalization rates are calculated as a property’s base rent at acquisition divided by the acquisition purchase price.

 

    Received $290.9 million in investments from new and existing stockholders and had over 2,000 stockholders as of the end of the year.

 

    Received an initial investment grade credit rating of Baa3 from Moody’s Investors Service.

 

    Increased borrowings under one of our term loan facilities from $280 million to $375 million by exercising a $95 million delayed draw feature under the terms of the loan agreement.

 

    Collected 100% of rents due during 2016 and maintained a 100% leased portfolio.

We present FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO, which are performance measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We present these non-GAAP measures as we believe certain investors and other users of our financial information use them as part of their evaluation of our historical operating performance. Please see our discussion in Item 2. “Financial Information – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of this Form 10, which includes discussion of the definition, purpose, and use of these non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Our Properties and Investment Objectives

We target acquisitions of fee simple interests in individual properties priced between $5 million and $50 million. Portfolios may be significantly larger, depending on balance sheet capacity and whether the portfolio is diversified or concentrated by tenant, geography, or brand. Our investment policy (“Investment Policy”) has three primary objectives that drive the investments we make: (1) preserve, protect, and return capital to investors; (2) realize increased cash available for distributions and long-term capital appreciation from growth in the rental income and value of our properties; and (3) maximize the level of sustainable cash distributions to our investors. We primarily acquire freestanding, single-tenant commercial properties located in the United States either directly from our credit-worthy tenants in sale-leaseback transactions, where they sell us their properties and simultaneously lease them back through long-term, triple-net leases, or through the purchase of properties already under a triple-net lease (i.e., a lease assumption). Under either scenario, our properties are generally under lease and fully occupied at the time of acquisition. We focus on properties in growth markets with at least ten years of lease term remaining that will achieve financial returns on equity of greater than 10%, net of fees, provided that all acquisitions must have a minimum remaining lease term of seven years and a minimum return on equity of 9.5%, unless approved by our Independent Directors Committee (as defined below). Our criteria for selecting properties (“Property Selection Criteria”) is based on three pillars of underwriting evaluation:

 

    fundamental value and characteristics of the underlying real estate,

 

    creditworthiness of the tenant, and

 

    transaction structure and pricing.

We believe we can achieve an appropriate risk-adjusted return through these pillars and conservatively project a property’s potential to generate targeted returns from current and future cash flows. We believe targeted returns are achieved through a combination of in-place income at the time of acquisition, rent growth, and a property’s potential for appreciation.

To achieve an appropriate risk-adjusted return, we maintain a diversified portfolio of real estate spread across multiple tenants, industries, and geographic locations. The following charts summarize our portfolio diversification by industry and geographic location. The percentages below are calculated based upon our potential contractual rental revenue on a per property type basis divided by total potential contractual rental revenue over the next twelve months. Late payments, non-payments or other unscheduled payments are not considered in the calculation.

Substantially all of our leases are triple-net, meaning that our tenants are responsible for the maintenance, insurance, and property taxes associated with the properties they lease from us. Upon inception and at December 31, 2016, all of our properties are subject to leases. We do not currently engage in the development of real estate, which could cause a delay in timing between the funds used to invest in properties and the corresponding cash inflows from rental receipts. Our cash flows from operations are primarily generated through our real estate investment portfolio and the monthly lease payments under our long-term leases with our tenants.

To increase value to our stockholders, we strive to implement periodic rent escalations within our leases. As of December 31, 2016, all of our leases had contractual rent escalations, with a 2.1% weighted average for 2016. A substantial majority of our leases have fixed annual rent increases, and the remaining portion has annual lease escalations based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), or periodic escalations over the term of the lease (e.g., a 10% increase every five years). These lease escalations mitigate exposure to fixed income streams in the case of an inflationary economic environment, and provide increased return in otherwise stable market conditions. Our focus on single-tenant, triple-net leases shifts certain risks to the tenant and shelters us from volatility in the cost of taxes, insurance, services, and maintenance of the property. An insignificant portion of our tenants have leases that are not fully triple-net, and, therefore, we bear responsibility for certain maintenance and structural component replacements that may be required in the future. In the limited circumstances where we cannot implement a triple-net lease, we attempt to limit our exposure through the use of warranties and other remedies that reduce the likelihood of a significant capital outlay during the term of the lease. We will also occasionally incur nominal property-level expenses that are not paid by our tenants. We do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property costs during the term of a property lease.

Due to the fact that all of our properties are leased to single tenants under long-term leases, we are not currently required to perform significant ongoing leasing activities on our properties. Only two of our properties,

representing less than 1% of our annual rental streams (calculated based on potential contractual rental revenue), will expire before 2020. As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average remaining term of our leases (calculated based on potential contractual rental revenue) was approximately 13.4 years, excluding renewal options, which are exercisable at the option of our tenants upon expiration of their base lease term. Less than 6% of the properties in our portfolio are subject to leases without at least one renewal option. Furthermore, the weighted average lease term on the $518.8 million in properties acquired during 2016 was greater than 15 years. During 2015, we acquired $550.1 million in properties with a weighted average remaining lease term greater than 17 years. Approximately 50% of our rental revenue is from leases that expire after 2030. As of December 31, 2016, not more than 11% of our rental revenue is from leases that expire in any single year in the decade between 2020 and 2030. The following chart sets forth our lease expirations by industry, based upon the terms of our leases in place as of December 31, 2016.

Our Investment Policy generally requires us to seek diversification of our investments. Based on the aggregate next twelve months’ rents of the properties in the portfolio, determined as of the date of the prior quarter end, new investments may not cause us to exceed:

 

    5% in any single property,

 

    8% leased to any single tenant or brand,

 

    15% located in any single metropolitan statistical area, or

 

    20% located in any single state.

We may exceed these diversification targets from time to time with the approval of the Independent Directors Committee. To avoid undue risk concentrations in any single asset class or category, long-term asset allocation will be set with the following target percentages and within the following ranges, although these ranges may be temporarily waived by the Independent Directors Committee:

 

Asset Category

   Target     Range  

Retail

     30     20-45

Index to Financial Statements

While the Independent Directors Committee establishes diversification thresholds to manage risk, the management team does not review discrete financial information at this level. Refer to our discussion regarding segment reporting in the notes to the consolidated financial statements within this Form 10.

We do not currently engage in the development of real estate, but may do so in the future. Our Investment Policy provides the Asset Manager (defined below) with the authority to make any acquisition or sale of any property or group of related properties involving up to $50 million for any single or portfolio transaction, $50 million per cumulative tenant concentration, or $100 million per cumulative brand concentration on our behalf, without approval of the Independent Directors Committee, provided that any properties so acquired otherwise meet our Investment Policy and Property Selection Criteria, and any financing related to any such acquisitions does not violate our Leverage Policy (as defined below), as such are established by the Independent Directors Committee from time to time. Our Investment Policy permits investments in properties that do not otherwise meet our Investment Policy or Property Selection Criteria with the approval of the Independent Directors Committee.

Underwriting Criteria

Our underwriting guidelines require that we consider the condition of the property, the creditworthiness of the tenant, the strength of any personal or corporate guarantees, the tenant’s historic performance at the property or similar properties, the location of the property, the overall economic condition of the community in which the property is located and the property’s potential for appreciation. We apply our credit underwriting guidelines prior to acquiring a property, periodically throughout the lease term, and when we are re-leasing properties in our portfolio. While we seek creditworthy tenants, we do not require them to be credit-rated. Our credit review process includes analyzing a tenant’s financial statements and other available information. We will also obtain guarantees on the leases and analyze the creditworthiness of the guarantors. Depending on the circumstances, our process will include discussions with the tenant’s management team surrounding their business plan and strategy.

Leverage Policy

In March of 2016, Moody’s Investors Service assigned the Operating Company an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook. As a result of receiving the investment grade credit rating, effective April 1, 2016, the interest rate pricing grids utilized to determine the margin we pay over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for two of our three unsecured credit facilities changed from being dependent upon our leverage ratio, to being dependent upon our credit rating. The rating is based on a number of factors, including an assessment of our financial strength, portfolio size and diversification, credit and operating metrics, and sustainability of cash flow and earnings. We are strongly committed to maintaining modest leverage commensurate with our investment grade rating. Our leverage policy (“Leverage Policy”) is to maintain a leverage ratio in the 35% to 45% range based on the market value of assets, recognizing that the actual leverage ratio will vary over time and there may be opportunistic reasons to exceed a 45% leverage ratio; provided, however, that we cannot exceed a 50% leverage ratio without the approval of the Independent Directors Committee.

We primarily utilize unsecured term and revolving debt to finance acquisitions, while obtaining mortgage loans to a lesser degree. The mix of financing sources may change over time based on market conditions. The unsecured loans generally contain affirmative and negative covenants which are tested against our financial performance.

When utilized, mortgage loans typically cover a single property or a group of related properties acquired from a single seller. The loans may be further secured by guarantees from us or the Operating Company, provided that we attempt to limit the use of guarantees to the extent possible. The Operating Company may assume debt when conducting a transaction or it may mortgage existing properties. As of December 31, 2016, 27 of our 417 properties were secured by mortgage financing, with an aggregate outstanding GAAP principal balance of approximately $106.7 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

To reduce its exposure to variable rate debt, the Operating Company enters into swap agreements to fix the rate of interest as a hedge against interest rate fluctuations. These interest rate hedges have staggered maturities to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations in any one year, and generally extend for 10 years. The interest rate swaps are applied against a pool of debt, which offers flexibility in maintaining our hedge designation concurrent with our ongoing capital market activity. We have one amortizing interest rate swap agreement that is tied to an unpaid mortgage loan. We limit our total exposure to floating rate debt to no more than 5% of total assets, measured at quarter end.

To reduce counterparty concentration risk with respect to our interest rate hedges, we diversify the institutions that serve as swap counterparties, and no more than 30% of the nominal value of our total hedged debt may be with any one institution, to be measured at the time we enter into an interest rate swap transaction and at quarter end.

Depending on market conditions and other factors, the Independent Directors Committee may change our Leverage Policy from time to time.

As of December 31, 2016, our total outstanding indebtedness was $866.6 million and the ratio of our total indebtedness to the market value of our assets was approximately 40.5%.

Corporate Governance

We operate under the direction of our board of directors, which is responsible for the management and control of our affairs. Our board of directors has retained Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (the “Manager”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”), to manage our day-to-day affairs, to implement our investment strategy, and to provide certain property management services for our properties, with both subject to our board of directors’ direction, oversight, and approval. All of our officers are employees of the Manager.

Our board of directors is currently comprised of eight directors, six of whom are independent directors and serve on an independent directors committee established by our organizational documents and our board of directors (the “Independent Directors Committee”). The Independent Directors Committee reviews our relationship with, and the performance of, the Manager and the Asset Manager, and generally approves the terms of any affiliate transactions. In addition, the Independent Directors Committee is responsible for, among other things, approving our property and portfolio valuation policy, setting the Determined Share Value for our ongoing private offering, approving and setting our Investment Policy, Property Selection Criteria, and Leverage Policy, and approving acquisitions above certain thresholds and/or outside of the criteria set forth in our Investment Policy.

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct Policy (“Code of Ethics”). The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to ensure that our business is conducted in accordance with the highest moral, legal, and ethical standards by our officers and directors as well as the Manager, the Asset Manager, and the Manager’s employees. The Code of Ethics promotes honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in our reports and other public communications; compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics; and accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

Management and Our Structure

Pursuant to the terms of the asset management agreement among us, the Operating Company, and the Asset Manager (as amended, the “Asset Management Agreement”), the Asset Manager is responsible for, among other things, managing our day-to-day operations, establishing and monitoring acquisition and disposition strategies,

overseeing all marketing communications and services related to our ongoing private offering, arranging mortgage and other financing, overseeing the acquisition of properties and their initial lease-up if they are not already subject to a net lease upon acquisition, providing support for the good faith valuation of our property portfolio and the setting of the Determined Share Value by the Independent Directors Committee, overseeing investor closings and transfers, arranging our annual stockholder meetings, and servicing and communicating with investors, including providing investment projections and reports. The Asset Manager also has the power pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement to designate two of the eight directors who serve on our board of directors. The Manager owns and controls the Asset Manager.

Pursuant to the property management agreement among us, the Operating Company, and the Manager (as amended, the “Property Management Agreement”), the Manager provides property management services to our properties, including management, rent collection, and re-leasing services. In June 2015, Trident BRE, LLC, an affiliate of Stone Point Capital LLC (“Trident BRE”), acquired through an equity investment an approximate 45.6% equity ownership interest in the Manager. As of March 31, 2017, the Manager is owned, on a fully-diluted basis, (i) approximately 45.20% by Trident BRE, (ii) approximately 45.20% by Amy L. Tait, our Executive Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Investment Officer, and an investment entity for the families of Ms. Tait and the late Norman Leenhouts, one of our founders who recently passed away, and (iii) approximately 9.59% by employees of the Manager. The Manager is controlled by a four-person board of managers, two of whom are appointed by Trident BRE. In June 2015, in connection with Trident BRE’s investment in the Manager, (i) we acquired 100,000 convertible preferred interests in the Manager (the “Convertible Preferred BRE Units”), for $100 per Convertible Preferred BRE Unit, in exchange for the issuance to the Manager of 138,889 shares of our common stock, then valued at $72.00 per share, and (ii) the Manager purchased 510,416 shares of our common stock, for $72.00 per share. The Manager currently owns 625,000, or approximately 3.83%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The Independent Directors Committee approved our investment in the Convertible Preferred BRE Units.

As of March 31, 2017, the Manager employed over 20 individuals fully-dedicated to our business and operations. Additionally, the Manager employed over 30 additional individuals who dedicate a significant portion of their time to our business and operations, in addition to various other tasks and responsibilities on behalf of the Manager and its affiliates.

For more information regarding the relationships among our company, Trident BRE, the Manager, and the Asset Manager and the fees we pay to the Manager and the Asset Manager pursuant to the Property Management Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement, see Item 7. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” of this Form 10.

Determined Share Value

Our shares of common stock are sold by us in our ongoing private offering at a determined share value, which is a price established by the Independent Directors Committee based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the portfolio, input from management, and such other factors as the Independent Directors Committee may determine (the “Determined Share Value”). Our determination of NAV applies valuation definitions and methodologies prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in order to fair value our net assets. The Independent Directors Committee is responsible for overseeing the valuation process for the purpose of maintaining independence from conflicts of interest with the management group that determines NAV and who are employed by the Manager. To assist in the determination of the Determined Share Value by the Independent Directors Committee, we engage a third-party valuation specialist to provide: (i) a high-level/negative assurance review of management’s quarterly portfolio valuation and estimated NAV calculation as of the end of each of the first, second, and fourth quarters of each calendar year, (ii) a review of individual property appraisals completed on a rolling two-year basis, and (iii) a full positive assurance valuation and review of the portfolio during the third quarter of each calendar year. Beginning in 2015, we updated our policy such that each property in the portfolio will be appraised by a third-party appraiser at least every two years (approximately 50% of the portfolio each year). Previously, appraisals on properties valued over $1 million were obtained from third-party professionals during the first twelve months after acquisition and approximately every three years thereafter.

The Determined Share Value is reviewed on a quarterly basis, and updated as determined by the Independent Directors Committee. The Determined Share Value at any given point in time will be based on the NAV as of a historical balance sheet date. The Determined Share Value of $77.00 per share in effect as of December 31, 2016, was based on the NAV as of September 30, 2016. On February 10, 2017, the Independent Directors Committee established a Determined Share Value of $79.00 per share based on the NAV as of December 31, 2016. The Determined Share Value is applied to outstanding shares prospectively. Adjustments to the NAV in arriving at the Determined Share Value are typically the result of the Independent Directors Committee’s analysis of current market conditions and assumptions used to fair value net assets in arriving at the

 

11


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

NAV. The adjustments do not follow a systematic methodology, but instead allow the Independent Directors Committee to use judgment in determining whether temporary market fluctuations are indicative of changes in core real estate values.

Distributions and Distribution Reinvestment

We declare and pay distributions on a monthly basis. Distribution payments and the corresponding distribution reinvestment are expected to be made approximately 15 days after the end of each month to holders of record on the record date, generally, the next-to-last business day of the prior month. Generally, income distributed will not be taxable to us under the Internal Revenue Code if annually we distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. Distributions will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors, but will be guided, in part, by a desire to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements. At the February 10, 2017 meeting of our board of directors we declared distributions of $0.415 per share, equivalent to a 6.3% annual return based on the $79.00 Determined Share Value established at that time. Investors may purchase additional shares of our common stock by electing to reinvest their distributions through our DRIP. The purchase price for shares of our common stock acquired through our DRIP will be 98% of the Determined Share Value. Please refer to Item 11. “Description of Registrant’s Securities to Be Registered” of this Form 10 for additional discussion of our DRIP.

Share Redemptions

We have adopted a share redemption program to provide an opportunity for our stockholders to have shares of our common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the current Determined Share Value in effect as of the date the shares are tendered for redemption. The following table sets forth the redemptions honored during the year ended December 31, 2016, and through March 31, 2017. We did not defer or reject any redemption requests during this period. Please refer to Item 11. “Description of Registrant’s Securities to Be Registered” of this Form 10 for additional discussion of our share redemption program.

Ongoing Private Offering

We commenced our ongoing private offering of shares of our common stock (our “private offering”) in 2007. The first closing of our private offering occurred on December 31, 2007, and we have conducted additional closings at least once every calendar quarter since then. Currently, we close sales of additional shares of our common stock monthly. Shares of our common stock are currently being offered in our private offering at $79.00 per share, provided that the per share offering price may be adjusted quarterly by our Independent Directors Committee based on the Determined Share Value, which is based on input from management, and such other

factors as our Independent Directors Committee may consider. For the year to date period ended March 31, 2017, we had sold 1,165,576 shares of our common stock in our private offering, including 116,042 shares of common stock issued pursuant to our DRIP, for gross offering proceeds of approximately $90.9 million. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our private offering, supplemented with additional borrowings, to continue to invest in additional net leased properties. We conduct our private offering in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Rule 506(c) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. As of March 31, 2017, there were 16,308,185 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, and 1,426,909 membership units in the Operating Company issued and outstanding. Each outstanding membership unit in the Operating Company is convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations.

Regulation

Our investments are subject to various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, including, among other things, zoning regulations, land use controls, and environmental controls relating to air and water quality, noise pollution, and indirect environmental impacts. We believe that we have all permits and approvals necessary under current law to operate our investments.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and as such we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. A number of these exemptions are not currently relevant to us due to our external management structure, and in any event we do not currently intend to take advantage of any of these exemptions.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to take advantage of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period, and (4) the end of the year in which the 5 year anniversary of our initial public offering of our common stock occurs.

Competition

The commercial real estate market is highly competitive. We compete for tenants to occupy our properties in all of our markets with other owners and operators of commercial real estate. We compete based on a number of factors that include location, rental rates, security, suitability of the property’s design to prospective tenants’ needs, and the manner in which the property is operated and marketed. The number of competing properties in a particular market could have a material effect on our occupancy levels, rental rates and the operating expenses of certain of our properties.

 

13


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

In addition, we compete with other entities engaged in real estate investment activities to locate suitable properties to acquire and purchasers to buy our properties. These competitors include other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, sovereign wealth funds, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, governmental bodies, and other entities. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have substantially greater marketing and financial resources than we have. The relative size of their portfolios may allow them to absorb properties with lower returns and allow them to accept more risk on a given property than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of tenants. In addition, these same entities may seek financing through similar channels to us. Competition from these REITs and other third party real estate investors may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities available to us. It also may result in higher prices, lower yields, and a narrower spread of yields over our borrowing costs, making it more difficult for us to acquire new investments on attractive terms.

Seasonality

Our investments are not materially impacted by seasonality.

Employees

We have no employees. Our officers are employees of our Manager or its affiliates and are not compensated by us for their service as our officers. The employees of our Manager and its affiliates manage our day-to-day operations and provide management, acquisition, advisory, and certain administrative services for us.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and have operated as such commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders, which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain and does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions.

Financial Information about Industry Segments

 

          We currently operate in a single reportable segment, which includes the acquisition, leasing, and ownership of net leased properties. See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements. You should consider carefully the risks described below and the other information in this Form 10, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.

General Investment Risks

We may not be able to make distributions to our stockholders at the times or in the amounts we expect, or at all.

We may not be able to continue to generate sufficient cash flow from our properties and from possible distributions on our Convertible Preferred BRE Units, if declared and paid, to permit us to make the distributions we expect. If we pay distributions from the proceeds of our securities offering or from borrowings, the amount of capital we ultimately invest may be reduced which may reduce the value of an investment in us.

There is no public trading market for our common stock and we are not required to effectuate a liquidity event by a certain date or at all, and transfers of shares of our common stock are subject to a number of restrictions. As a result, it will be difficult for our stockholders to sell shares of our common stock and, if they are able to sell their shares, they are likely to sell them at a discount.

There is no current public market for our common stock, we do not expect that any such public market will develop in the future, and we have no obligation to list our shares on any public securities market or provide any other type of liquidity to our stockholders by a particular date, or at all. The shares of our common stock are not registered under federal or state securities laws and therefore cannot be resold unless they are subsequently registered under such laws or unless an exemption from registration is available. Although we have adopted our share redemption program pursuant to which our stockholders may request that we redeem shares of our common stock, it is subject to a number of restrictions. Accordingly, our investors should not expect to be able to sell their shares or otherwise liquidate their investment promptly, if at all, and there can be no assurance that the sales price of any shares which are sold would equal or exceed the price originally paid for the shares. Our investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of holding their shares of our common stock for an indefinite period of time.

Our stockholders are limited in their ability to sell shares of our common stock pursuant to our share redemption program. Our stockholders may not be able to sell any of their shares of our common stock back to us, and if they do sell their shares, they may not receive the price they paid.

We have adopted a share redemption program to provide an opportunity for our stockholders to have shares of our common stock repurchased at a price equal to or at a discount from the current Determined Share Value in effect as of the date the shares are tendered for redemption, subject to a number of restrictions and limitations. No shares may be repurchased under our share redemption program until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares without approval from our Independent Directors Committee. Further, we are not obligated to repurchase shares of our common stock under the share redemption program. Notwithstanding the procedures outlined in the share redemption program, our board of directors or Independent Directors Committee may, in its sole discretion, reject any share redemption request made by any stockholder at any time. In addition, the share redemption program limits the number of shares redeemed in any quarter. The total number of shares redeemed in any quarter pursuant to the share redemption program may not exceed (i) 1% of the total number of shares outstanding at the beginning of the applicable calendar year, plus (ii) 50% of the total number of any additional shares of our common stock issued during the prior calendar quarter pursuant to our DRIP, plus (iii) any additional number of shares the Independent Directors Committee elects to redeem in its sole and

 

15


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

absolute discretion. Finally, our board of directors reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program at any time. As a result of the foregoing, a stockholder may not be able to sell any of its shares of our common stock back to us pursuant to our share redemption program. Moreover, if a stockholder does sell its shares of our common stock back to us pursuant to the share redemption program, the stockholder may not receive the same price it paid for any shares of our common stock being redeemed.

The Independent Directors Committee establishes the Determined Share Value on a quarterly basis. The Determined Share Value is not directly derived from any independent valuation, nor from the value of the existing property portfolio. Investors should use caution in using the Determined Share Value as the current value of shares of our common stock.

On a quarterly basis, the Independent Directors Committee establishes a Determined Share Value per share of our common stock, based on the net asset value of the portfolio, input from management, and such other factors as the Independent Directors Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine, which we refer to as the Determined Share Value. Shares of our common stock are offered in our ongoing private offering at a price per share equal to the current Determined Share Value and cash distributions can be reinvested in additional shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price per share equal to 98% of the current Determined Share Value. In addition, shares of our common stock are redeemed by us pursuant to the terms of our share redemption program at a per share price equal to or at a discount to the current Determined Share Value. The Independent Directors Committee may, but is not required to, engage consultants, appraisers and other real estate or investment professionals to assist in their establishment of the Determined Share Value. As a result, the price of the shares of our common stock may not necessarily bear a direct relationship to our book or asset values or to any other established criteria for valuing issued or outstanding common stock and the actual value of an investor’s investment in shares of our common stock could be substantially less than what the stockholder may have paid to purchase the shares.

As with any valuation method, the methods used to determine the Determined Share Value are based upon a number of assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. Our assets are valued based upon appraisal standards and the values of our assets using these methods are not required to be a reflection of market value and will not necessarily result in a reflection of fair value under GAAP. Further, different parties using different property-specific and general real estate and capital market assumptions, estimates, judgments, and standards could derive different Determined Share Values, which could be significantly different from the Determined Share Values determined by the Independent Directors Committee. The Determined Share Value established as of any given time is not a direct representation or indication that, among other things, (i) a stockholder would be able to realize the full Determined Share Value if he or she attempts to sell their shares, (ii) a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the Determined Share Value upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or upon a sale of our company, (iii) shares of our common stock would trade at the Determined Share Value on a national securities exchange, (iv) a third party would offer the Determined Share Value in an arms-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock, or (v) the methodologies used to estimate the Determined Share Value would be acceptable to the requirements of any regulatory agency.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we retain the right to prohibit certain acquisitions and transfers of shares of our common stock, which limits our investors’ ability to purchase or sell shares.

We cannot maintain our qualification as a REIT if, among other requirements: (i) more than 50% of the value of our outstanding common stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer stockholders during the last half of each taxable year, or (ii) fewer than 100 persons own our outstanding common stock during at least 335 days of a 12-month taxable year. In order to assist us in meeting certain REIT qualification requirements, our Articles of Incorporation restrict the direct or indirect ownership by one person or entity to no more than 9.8% of the value of our then outstanding shares of capital stock (which includes common stock and any preferred stock we may issue) and no more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our then

outstanding common stock unless exempted by our board of directors. We may, therefore, prohibit certain acquisitions and transfers of shares in an attempt to ensure our continued qualification as a REIT. These prohibitions may prevent our existing stockholders from acquiring additional shares, redeeming their shares, or selling their shares to others who may be deemed to, directly or indirectly, beneficially own our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our success is dependent on the performance of our Manager and Asset Manager and any adverse change in their financial health could cause our operations to suffer.

Our ability to achieve our investment objectives and to pay distributions is dependent upon the performance of our Manager and Asset Manager and any adverse change in their financial health could cause our operations to suffer. Our Manager and Asset Manager are sensitive to trends in the general economy, as well as the commercial real estate and related markets. An economic downturn could result in reductions in overall transaction volume and size of sales and leasing activities, and would put downward pressure on our Manager’s and Asset Manager’s revenues and operating results. To the extent that any decline in revenues and operating results impacts the performance of our Manager or Asset Manager, our operating results could suffer.

Loss of key personnel of the Manager could delay or hinder our investment strategy, which could limit our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of an investment in us.

We are dependent upon the contributions of key personnel of the Manager. Our overall success and the achievement of our investment objectives depends upon the performance of our senior leadership team, each of whom is an employee of the Manager. We rely on our senior leadership team to, among other things, identify and consummate acquisitions, design and implement our financing strategies, manage our investments, and conduct our day-to-day operations. Members of our senior leadership team could choose to leave employment with the Manager for any number of reasons. We rely on the experience, efforts, and abilities of these individuals, each of whom would be difficult to replace. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior leadership team, or the Manager’s inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities, and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants, and industry participants, all of which could materially and adversely affect us.

In particular, Amy L. Tait and Christopher J. Czarnecki, our Executive Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Investment Officer and our Chief Executive Officer, respectively, and employees of the Manager, have significant real estate experience which would be difficult to replace. Each of Ms. Tait and Mr. Czarnecki has an employment agreement with the Manager which includes non-competition and non-solicitation covenants; however, these agreements could be amended by the Manager from time to time. Although the Manager has “key employee” life and disability insurance on each of Ms. Tait and Mr. Czarnecki, the proceeds of that insurance will be used as determined by the board of managers of the Manager, which consists of two appointees of the Manager’s management and two appointees of Trident BRE, and may be diverted to uses other than replacing the deceased or incapacitated executive. We may suffer direct, reputational, and other costs in the event of the loss of the services of either Ms. Tait or Mr. Czarnecki.

We pay substantial fees to our Manager and Asset Manager. These fees were not negotiated at arm’s length, may be higher than fees payable to unaffiliated third parties and may reduce cash available for investment.

We pay substantial fees to our Manager and Asset Manager. These fees were agreed to prior to the company accepting outside capital from investors other than our sponsors and were not negotiated at arm’s length. Due to the fact that these fees were determined without the benefit of arm’s-length negotiations of the type normally conducted between unrelated parties, the fees could be in excess of amounts that we would otherwise pay to third parties for such services. In addition, the full offering price paid by our investors in our private offering will not be invested in properties. The proceeds are primarily used to acquire and operate our properties, but may also used by us for general corporate purposes and to pay fees due to the Manager and the Asset Manager. As a result,

stockholders will only receive a full return of their invested capital if we either (1) sell our assets or our company for a sufficient amount in excess of the original purchase price of our assets or (2) the market value of our company after we list our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange is substantially in excess of the original purchase price of our assets.

We may not receive our expected cumulative preferred return on our investment in the Convertible Preferred BRE Units and, if we do not timely convert the Convertible Preferred BRE Units into common membership units of the Manager, we will not participate in any liquidation event of the Manager in excess of our investment in the Convertible Preferred BRE Units and cumulative preferred return.

The Convertible Preferred BRE Units we hold are entitled to distributions from the Manager equal to a cumulative 7.0% annual preferred return, payable prior to distributions paid to the holders of common membership units of the Manager, which preferred return increases annually by 0.25%. However, there can be no assurance that the board of managers of the Manager will declare and pay such distributions. The Convertible Preferred BRE Units are convertible, in whole and not in part, into common membership units of the Manager during the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 (“conversion period”). If we do not elect to convert the Convertible Preferred BRE Units into common membership units of the Manager during the conversion period, we will be limited to a return of our investment in the Convertible Preferred BRE Units and any unpaid cumulative preferred return payable on the Convertible Preferred BRE Units in the event of a liquidation of the Manager.

As holder of the Convertible Preferred BRE Units, we have limited rights to approve or disapprove actions of the Manager.

We have limited rights to participate in the management of or control the Manager. The Convertible Preferred BRE Units have no voting rights, except for the limited right to approve, voting as a class, any amendment to the limited liability company agreement of the Manager which would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Convertible Preferred BRE Units or would create a series or type of membership interests senior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred BRE Units. As holder of the Convertible Preferred BRE Units, we do have the right to appoint one individual to attend, in an observer capacity, any meeting of the board of managers of the Manager and receive information provided to the managers of the Manager; however such individual has no power to participate in the voting of the board of managers of the Manager or otherwise control the Manager.

We expect to incur significant costs in connection with Exchange Act compliance and we may become subject to liability for any failure to comply, which could materially impact our financial performance.

We will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance, and other expenses as a result of our registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act, which will subject us to Exchange Act rules and related reporting requirements. This compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act will require timely filing of Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, among other actions. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the SEC, have increased the costs of corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure practices to which we will be subject upon the effectiveness of this Form 10 and later dates, as applicable. Rules that the SEC is implementing or is required to implement pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to require additional regulatory changes. Our efforts to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including requirements of the Exchange Act, are expected to involve significant, and potentially increasing, costs. In addition, these laws, rules, and regulations create new legal bases for administrative, civil, and criminal proceedings against us in case of non-compliance, thereby increasing our risk of liability and potential sanctions.

A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively impact our business.

We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. We also use mobile devices, outside vendors, and other online activities to connect with our tenants, vendors, and employees of our affiliates.

Such uses give rise to potential cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft, and inadvertent release of information. Our business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and confidential information and intellectual property, including tenants’ and suppliers’ information, private information about employees of our affiliates, and financial and strategic information about us. If we fail to assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with our operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, the measures we have implemented to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents may not be effective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with our information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, loss of tenants, potential liability, and competitive disadvantage, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

A failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting, disclosures, and operations are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and public disclosures, effectively prevent fraud, and operate successfully. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports and public disclosures or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. Our internal controls over financial reporting and our operating internal controls may not prevent or detect financial misstatements or loss of assets because of inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, management override of controls, or fraud. Effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement accuracy, public disclosures, and safeguarding of assets. Any failure of these internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls as a result of changes to our business or otherwise, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, could result in decreased investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and public disclosures, civil litigation, or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations and we could fail to meet our reporting obligations.

If we internalize our management functions, we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed.

Our board of directors may decide in the future to internalize our management functions. If we do so, we may elect to negotiate to acquire the Manager’s and the Asset Manager’s assets and hire the Manager’s personnel. While we would no longer bear the costs of the various fees and expenses we expect to pay to the Manager and the Asset Manager under the Property Management Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement, our direct expenses would include additional general and administrative costs that are currently paid by the Asset Manager and Manager. In addition, we could be required to pay certain costs and contract termination fees in connection with our current management agreements with the Manager and the Asset Manager. For additional information regarding these termination fees, please see Item 7. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” of this Form 10. We would also be required to employ personnel and would be subject to potential liabilities commonly faced by employers, such as workers disability and compensation claims, potential labor disputes, and other employee-related liabilities and grievances as well as incur the compensation and benefits costs of our officers and other employees and consultants that are paid by the Manager and the Asset Manager. We cannot reasonably estimate the amount of fees to the Manager and the Asset Manager we would save or the costs we would incur if we became self-managed. If the expenses we assume as a result of an internalization are higher than the expenses we avoid paying to the Manager and the Asset Manager, our funds from operations would be lower as a result of the internalization than they otherwise would have been, potentially decreasing the amount of funds available to distribute to our stockholders.

Disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could adversely impact our ability to implement our investment strategy and achieve our investment objectives.

The United States and global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption within the past decade. There was a widespread tightening in overall credit markets, devaluation of the assets underlying certain financial contracts, and increased borrowing by governmental entities. The turmoil in the capital markets resulted in constrained equity and debt capital available for investment in the real estate market, resulting in fewer buyers seeking to acquire properties, increases in capitalization rates, and lower property values. Recently, capital has been more available and the overall economy has begun to improve. However, the failure of a sustained economic recovery or future disruptions in the financial markets and deteriorating economic conditions could impact the value of our investments in properties. In addition, if potential purchasers of properties have difficulty obtaining capital to finance property acquisitions, capitalization rates could increase and property values could decrease. Current economic conditions greatly increase the risks of our investments. See “– Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate.”

We report FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

We report FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we believe to be appropriate supplemental measures to reflect our operating performance.

Not all REITs calculate FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO and other similar measures in the same way, and therefore comparisons of our disclosures of such measures with that of other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. We have provided a reconciliation of these measures to net income, which we believe to be the most comparable GAAP measure, in Item 2. “Financial Information – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures (FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO),” of this Form 10.

Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, AFFO, or O-AFFO. In the future, the SEC or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, AFFO, or O-AFFO accordingly.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Maryland law and our organizational documents limit the rights of our stockholders to bring claims against our officers and directors.

Maryland law provides that a director of a Maryland corporation will not have any liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that, subject to the applicable limitations set forth therein or under Maryland law, no director or officer will be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages. Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that we will generally indemnify and advance expenses to our directors, our officers, and our Asset Manager and its affiliates for losses they may incur by reason of their service in those capacities subject to any limitations under Maryland law or in our Articles of Incorporation. Moreover, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against these persons than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our stockholders’ and our recovery against such persons. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by these persons in some cases, which would reduce the cash available for distributions. We have purchased insurance under a policy that insures both us and our officers and directors against exposure and liability normally insured against under such policies, including exposure on the indemnities described above.

The limit on the number of shares of our common stock a person may own may discourage a takeover or business combination that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Our Articles of Incorporation restrict the direct or indirect ownership by one person or entity to no more than 9.8% of the value of our then outstanding shares of capital stock (which includes common stock and any preferred stock we may issue) and no more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our then outstanding common stock unless exempted by our board of directors. This restriction may discourage a change of control of us and may deter individuals or entities from making tender offers for shares of our common stock on terms that might be financially attractive to stockholders or which may cause a change in our management. In addition to deterring potential transactions that may be favorable to our stockholders, these provisions may also decrease our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares of our common stock.

We may issue preferred stock or separate classes or series of common stock, the issuance of which could adversely affect the holders of our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of stock, and our board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, may amend our Articles of Incorporation from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series of stock that we have authority to issue. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by us in the future.

In addition, our board of directors may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, rights and powers of any such stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock or separate classes or series of common stock with terms and conditions that could have priority, with respect to distributions and amounts payable upon our liquidation, over the rights of our common stock. The issuance of shares of such preferred or separate classes or series of common stock could dilute the value of an investment in shares of our common stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock or a separate class or series of common stock could also have the effect of delaying, discouraging, or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.

The Independent Directors Committee may change our investment policies without stockholder approval, which could alter the nature of an investment in us.

The methods of implementing our investment policies and strategy may vary as new real estate development trends emerge, new investment techniques are developed, and market conditions evolve. Our investment policies, the methods for their implementation, and our other objectives, policies, and procedures may be altered by the Independent Directors Committee without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, the nature of an investment in us could change without the consent of our stockholders.

Our UPREIT structure may result in potential conflicts of interest with members in the Operating Company whose interests may not be aligned with those of our stockholders.

We use an UPREIT structure because a contribution of property directly to us, rather than the Operating Company, is generally a taxable transaction to the contributing property owner. In the UPREIT structure, a contributor of a property may transfer the property to the Operating Company in exchange for membership units and defer taxation of a gain until the contributor later disposes of or exchanges its membership units for shares of our common stock. We believe that using an UPREIT structure gives us an advantage in acquiring desired properties from persons who may not otherwise sell their properties because of unfavorable tax results.

We may issue membership units of the Operating Company in connection with certain transactions. Members in the Operating Company have the right to vote on certain amendments to the limited liability

company agreement of the Operating Company, as well as on certain other matters. Persons holding such voting rights may exercise them in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. As the managing member of the Operating Company, we are obligated to act in a manner that is in the best interest of all members of the Operating Company. Circumstances may arise in the future when the interests of members in the Operating Company may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. These conflicts may be resolved in a manner stockholders do not believe are in their best interest.

The value of an investment in our common stock may be reduced if we are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and if we are subject to registration under the Investment Company Act, we will not be able to continue our business.

Neither we, the Operating Company, nor any of our subsidiaries intend to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Operating Company’s and subsidiaries’ investments in real estate will represent the substantial majority of our total asset mix. In order for us not to be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we engage, through the Operating Company and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, primarily in the business of buying real estate.

If we were obligated to register as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under the Investment Company Act that impose, among other things:

 

    limitations on capital structure;

 

    restrictions on specified investments;

 

    prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and

 

    compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure, and other rules and regulations that would significantly change our operations and significantly increase our operating expenses.

Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer that is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the issuer’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the 40% test. Excluded from the term “investment securities,” among other things, are U.S. government securities and securities issued by majority-owned subsidiaries that are not themselves investment companies and are not relying on the exception from the definition of investment company set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

We expect that most of our assets will be held through wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Company. We believe that we, the Operating Company, and most of the subsidiaries of the Operating Company will not fall within either definition of investment company under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act as we intend to invest primarily in real property, through our wholly or majority-owned subsidiaries, which we expect to have at least 60% of their assets in real property. As these subsidiaries would be investing either solely or primarily in real property, they would be outside of the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act. We are organized as a holding company that conducts its businesses primarily through the Operating Company, which in turn is a holding company conducting its business through its subsidiaries. Both we and the Operating Company intend to conduct our operations so that they comply with the 40% test. We will monitor our holdings to ensure continuing and ongoing compliance with this test. In addition, we believe that neither we nor the Operating Company will be considered an investment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act because neither we nor the Operating Company will engage primarily or hold itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, through the Operating Company’s wholly owned or

majority owned subsidiaries, we and the Operating Company will be primarily engaged in the non-investment company businesses of these subsidiaries, namely the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring real property.

To ensure that neither we nor any of our subsidiaries, including the Operating Company, are required to register as an investment company, each entity may be unable to sell assets that it would otherwise want to sell and may need to sell assets that it would otherwise wish to retain. In addition, we, the Operating Company or our subsidiaries may be required to acquire additional income- or loss-generating assets that we might not otherwise acquire or forego opportunities to acquire interests in companies that we would otherwise want to acquire. Although we, the Operating Company and our subsidiaries intend to monitor our portfolio periodically and prior to each acquisition and disposition, any of these entities may not be able to remain outside the definition of investment company or maintain an exclusion from the definition of investment company. If we, the Operating Company or our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company but fail to do so, the unregistered entity would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against such entity. In addition, the contracts of such entity would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of the entity and liquidate its business.

Risks Related To Conflicts of Interest

The officers and employees of the Manager and its affiliates face competing demands relating to their time, which may cause our operating results to suffer.

The officers and employees of the Manager and the Asset Manager are not prohibited from raising money for, or managing, other investment entities, or from engaging in business activities and investments unrelated to us. As a result, these persons may have competing demands on their time and resources and they may face conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities. During times of intense activity in other programs and ventures, they may devote less time and fewer resources to our business than is necessary or appropriate. If this occurs, the returns on an investment in our company may suffer.

Our officers and certain of our directors face conflicts of interest related to the positions they hold with affiliated entities, which could hinder our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to generate returns for our investors.

Our executive officers and affiliated directors are also officers and managers of, and in some cases equity investors in, our Manager and other affiliated entities. Most significantly, Amy L. Tait, our Executive Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Investment Officer, serves as an executive officer of the Manager, is a member of the Manager’s board of managers, and as of March 31, 2017 owns, together with an investment entity for the families of Ms. Tait and the late Norman Leenhouts, an approximately 45.20% equity ownership interest in the Manager, and Christopher J. Czarnecki, our Chief Executive Officer and a nominee for election to our board of directors, is an executive officer of the Manager and a member of the Manager’s board of managers. Mr. Czarnecki and our other executive officers also own membership interests in the Manager. All of our executive officers are officers of the Manager and, in certain circumstances, other affiliated entities.

As a result, these individuals owe fiduciary duties to the Manager and other affiliated entities, which may conflict with the duties that they owe to us and our stockholders. Their responsibilities to these other entities could result in actions or inactions that are detrimental to our business, which could harm the implementation of our business strategy and our investment and leasing opportunities. If we do not successfully implement our business strategy, we may be unable to generate cash needed to make distributions to our stockholders and to maintain or increase the value of our assets.

The Manager and the Asset Manager and their respective affiliates, including some of our directors and officers, face conflicts of interest relating to our compensation arrangements with the Manager and the Asset Manager, which could result in actions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.

Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement and the Property Management Agreement, the Asset Manager and the Manager receive substantial fees from us in return for their services. These compensation arrangements could influence the advice and services provided to us by the Asset Manager and the Manager and present potential conflicts of interest for the officers, employees, and equity owners of the Manager and Asset Manager who also serve as our directors and officers.

Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager is entitled to receive substantial compensation regardless of our performance or the quality of the services provided to us. As a result, the Asset Manager’s interests may not be wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. Our Asset Manager could be motivated to recommend riskier or more speculative investments in order to generate higher annual asset management fees regardless of the quality of the properties acquired or the services provided to us. In addition, because the asset management fees payable to the Asset Manager are subject to deferral through December 31, 2017 in the event distributions to our stockholders do not equal at least $3.50 in any rolling twelve-month period, the Asset Manager may increase borrowings or sell properties in order to fund the distributions needed to avoid such a deferral and permit payment of the asset management fee on a current basis. Further, the acquisition fees and disposition fees payable by us to the Asset Manager may incentivize the Asset Manager to recommend or pursue property acquisitions or dispositions that it would otherwise not recommend or pursue, or upon different terms than it would otherwise find acceptable, if it was not entitled to such fees.

Pursuant to the Property Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to receive a property management fee based on the gross rentals payable by the tenants in our properties regardless of the properties’ quality, our overall financial performance, or the quality of the services provided to us by the Manager. As a result, our Manager’s interests may not be wholly aligned with those of our stockholders. The management fees paid to the Manager could also incentivize the Asset Manager to recommend or pursue property acquisitions that it would otherwise not recommend or pursue, or upon different terms than it would otherwise find acceptable, if the Manager was not entitled to such fees.

For additional information regarding these compensation arrangements, see Item 7. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” of this Form 10.

The Asset Manager and Manager are entitled to significant termination fees in the event that we terminate the Asset Management Agreement or Property Management Agreement.

Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement and the Property Management Agreement, in the event that we terminate the Asset Management Agreement or the Property Management Agreement other than for “cause” (as defined in the Asset Management Agreement and the Property Management Agreement), we are required to pay the Asset Manager or the Manager, as applicable, a significant termination fee. The termination fee payable pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement is equal to three times the asset management fee to which the Asset Manager was entitled during the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of the termination. The termination fee payable pursuant to the Property Management Agreement is equal to three times the property management fee to which the Manager was entitled during the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of the termination. The existence of these termination fees may create conflicts of interest with respect to the termination of the Asset Management Agreement and the Property Management Agreement.

Trident BRE holds a significant ownership interest in the Manager, has the power to appoint two members of the board of managers of the Manager, and employs one of the non-independent members of our board of directors. Trident BRE’s interests may not be fully aligned with those of our other stockholders.

As of March 31, 2017, Trident BRE holds an approximate 45.20% equity ownership interest in the Manager, and has the power to appoint two of the four members of the board of managers of the Manager. In

addition, Agha Khan, one of the two non-independent members of our board of directors appointed by the Asset Manager, is an employee of Stone Point Capital LLC, an affiliate of Trident BRE. The other member of the board of managers of the Manager appointed by Trident BRE and Mr. Khan owe duties to Stone Point Capital LLC and Trident BRE and their affiliates in addition to their duties to the Manager and us, and may face conflicts of interests as a result. Trident BRE may influence the manner in which our Asset Manager (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager) seeks to acquire or dispose of properties or otherwise performs its duties under the Asset Management Agreement or cause the Manager or its affiliates to take on new activities unrelated to our business.

Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate

Our operating results are affected by economic and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market in general.

Our investments in real properties are subject to risks generally attributable to the ownership of real property, including:

 

    changes in global, national, regional, or local economic, demographic, or real estate market conditions;

 

    changes in supply of or demand for similar properties in an area;

 

    increased competition for real property investments targeted by our investment strategy;

 

    bankruptcies, financial difficulties, or lease defaults by tenants;

 

    changes in interest rates and availability of financing;

 

    changes in the terms of available financing, including more conservative loan-to-value requirements and shorter debt maturities;

 

    competition from other properties;

 

    the inability or unwillingness of tenants to pay rent increases;

 

    changes in government rules, regulations, and fiscal policies, including changes in tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws; and

 

    changes in the prices of fuel and energy consumption, cost of labor and material, and water and environmental restrictions, which may affect the businesses of tenants and their ability to meet their lease payments.

All of these factors are beyond our control. Any negative changes in these factors could affect our ability to meet our obligations and make distributions to stockholders.

We are unable to predict future changes in global, national, regional, or local economic, demographic, or real estate market conditions. For example, a recession or rise in interest rates could make it more difficult for us to lease or dispose of properties and could make alternative interest-bearing and other investments more attractive and therefore potentially lower the relative value of the real estate assets we acquire. These conditions, or others we cannot predict, may adversely affect our results of operations and returns to our stockholders. In addition, the value of the properties we acquire may decrease following the date we acquire such properties due to the risks described above or any other unforeseen changes in market conditions. If the value of our properties decreases, we may be forced to dispose of our properties at a price lower than the price we paid to acquire our properties, which could adversely impact the results of our operations and our ability to make distributions and return capital to our investors.

We face competition for the purchase and financing of properties from entities with substantially more capital at their disposal that may cause us to have difficulty finding or maintaining properties that generate favorable returns.

We compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, sovereign wealth funds, banks, mortgage bankers, insurance companies, institutional investors, investment banking firms, lenders, governmental bodies, and other entities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Larger REITs may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. Further, the rental rates that we are able to receive on the properties we purchase depend substantially upon the presence of competition from these other property purchasers and, to a certain extent, upon the availability of mortgage financing at similar rates that would allow a tenant to own its property. The availability of these alternative purchasers or sources of financing at lower rates has periodically caused competition for attractive properties and caused reduction in market rental rates, both of which could diminish returns to our investors.

A concentration of our investments in a certain state or geographic regions may leave our profitability vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in state or region.

Our current Investment Policy provides that we may not invest more than 15% of the aggregate cost of our portfolio in properties located in any single metropolitan statistical area or more than 20% of the aggregate cost of our portfolio in properties located in any single state. However, if our Investment Policy was amended or for some other reason our investments became concentrated in a particular state or geographic region, and such state or geographic region experiences economic difficulty disproportionate to the nation as a whole, then the potential effects on our revenues, and as a result, our cash available for distribution to our stockholders, could be more pronounced than if we had more fully diversified our investments geographically.

A significant portion of our property portfolio’s annual base rent is concentrated in specific industry classifications, tenants and geographic locations.

As of December 31, 2016, approximately 26.8% of the current monthly potential contractual rent from our property portfolio was generated by tenants in the restaurant industry and approximately 21.7% of the current monthly potential contractual rent was generated by tenants in the healthcare industry. Any economic difficulties or downturns which disproportionately impact such industries could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and ability to pay distributions.

We are dependent on our tenants for substantially all of our revenue and our success is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.

Each of our existing properties is occupied by only one master tenant, and as a result our success is dependent on the financial stability of these tenants in the aggregate. Our tenants encounter significant macroeconomic, governmental, and competitive forces. Adverse changes in consumer spending or consumer preferences for particular goods, services, or store based retailing could severely impact the ability of certain of our tenants to pay rent. The default or financial distress of a tenant on its lease payments may cause us to lose some of the anticipated revenue from the property. Vacancies in properties reduce our revenues, increase property expenses, and could decrease the value of each such vacant property. In the event of a material default under a lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and possibly re-letting the property. If a lease is terminated, we cannot assure our investors that the property could be leased for the same amount of rent previously received or that we could sell the property without incurring a loss.

In addition, our ability to increase our revenues and operating income may depend on steady growth of demand for the products and services offered by our tenants. A significant decrease in demand for our tenants’ products and services for any reason could result in a reduction in tenant performance and consequently, adversely affect us.

If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due to us.

If a tenant, or the guarantor of a lease of a tenant, commences, or has commenced against it, any legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other debtor’s relief statute or law (collectively, a “bankruptcy proceeding”), we may be unable to collect all sums due to us under that tenant’s lease. Any or all of the lease obligations of our tenants, or any guarantor of our tenants, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding which may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If our lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we may only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. A bankruptcy proceeding could hinder or delay our efforts to collect past due balances and ultimately preclude collection of these sums, resulting in a decrease or cessation of rental payments and reducing returns to our investors.

If we are delayed or unable to find suitable investments, we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives and our investors’ returns may be reduced.

We may experience difficulty in finding attractive properties resulting in a delay of investment of the proceeds from our ongoing offering in real estate and reducing our ability to make distributions and, thus, the returns to our investors. Our investors’ returns may be reduced to the extent we are delayed in our selection and acquisition of real estate properties. The proceeds of our ongoing private offering will generally be used to pay down existing advances under the Operating Company’s line of credit or invested at money market rates until such time as it is used to acquire a real estate property. Any proceeds from our ongoing private offering that are ultimately invested by the Operating Company at money market rates will likely produce less income than if such proceeds were immediately invested in real estate properties. As a result, our investors’ returns may be reduced to the extent we are delayed in our selection and acquisition of real estate properties.

Some properties may be suitable for only one use and may be costly to refurbish if a lease is terminated.

The properties we purchase may be designed for a particular type of tenant or tenant use. If a tenant of such property does not renew its occupancy or defaults on its lease, the property might not be marketable without substantial capital improvements. The cost of such improvements may reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to our investors. An attempt to lease or sell the property without such improvements could also result in a lower rent or selling price and may also reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to our investors.

Our real estate investments are illiquid.

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to adjust our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions may be limited. Certain significant expenditures generally do not change in response to economic or other conditions, including: (i) debt service (if any), (ii) real estate taxes, and (iii) operating and maintenance costs. This combination of variable revenue and relatively fixed expenditures may result, under certain market conditions, in reduced earnings and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

We may experience difficulty in the sale of a property and could be forced to sell a property at a price that reduces the return to our investors.

The real estate market is affected by many factors that are out of our control, including the availability of financing, interest rates, and other factors, as well as supply and demand for real estate investments. As a result, we cannot predict whether we will be able to sell a property or whether such sale could be made at a favorable price or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time which will be needed to identify a purchaser or to complete the sale of any property.

We can reinvest proceeds from sales of our properties in replacement properties without our investors’ approval.

We may, from time to time, sell a property and reinvest the proceeds in a replacement property rather than make a distribution to our investors. Our investors will not have a right to the cash received by the Operating Company from the sale of a property and must rely upon the ability of the Asset Manager to find replacement properties in which to reinvest the proceeds.

Long-term leases may not result in fair market lease rates over time; therefore, our income and our distributions to our stockholders could be lower than if we did not enter into long-term leases.

We generally lease our properties pursuant to long-term leases with terms of 10 or more years, often with extension options. Our long-term leases generally provide for rents to increase over time, due to fixed rent increases or increases based upon increases in the consumer price index or financial metrics related to the tenant. However, if we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates, we may set the terms of these long-term leases at levels such that even after contractual rental increases the rent under our long-term leases is less than then-current market rental rates. Further, we may have a limited ability to terminate those leases or to adjust the rent to then-prevailing market rates.

Certain provisions of our leases or loan agreements may be unenforceable.

Our rights and obligations with respect to the leases at our properties, mortgage loans, or other loans are governed by written agreements. A court could determine that one or more provisions of such an agreement are unenforceable, such as a particular remedy, a master lease covenant, a loan prepayment provision, or a provision governing our security interest in the underlying collateral of a borrower or lessee. We could be adversely impacted if this were to happen with respect to an asset or group of assets.

Our costs of compliance with governmental laws and regulations may reduce the investment return of our stockholders.

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations. We cannot predict what laws or regulations will be enacted in the future, how future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted, or how future laws or regulations will affect us or our properties, including, but not limited to, environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with new laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require us or our tenants to incur significant expenditures, impose significant liability, restrict or prohibit business activities, and could cause a material adverse effect on our results of operation.

We may be subject to known or unknown environmental liabilities and hazardous materials on our properties.

There may be known or unknown environmental liabilities associated with properties we own or acquire in the future. Certain uses of some properties may also have a heightened risk of environmental liability because of the hazardous materials used in performing services on those properties, such as convenience stores with underground petroleum storage tanks or auto parts and auto service businesses using petroleum products, paint, machine solvents, and other hazardous materials. Some properties may contain asbestos or asbestos-containing materials, or may contain or may develop mold or other bio-contaminants. Asbestos-containing materials must be handled, managed, and removed in accordance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Mold and other bio-contaminants can produce airborne toxins, may cause a variety of health issues in individuals and must be remediated in accordance with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations.

The Asset Manager undertakes customary environmental diligence prior to our acquisition of any property. As a current or previous owner of a real estate property, however, we may be required to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in such property under various federal, state, and local environmental

 

28

laws, ordinances, and regulations. These laws may impose liability whether or not the Operating Company knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Our use and operation of a property may also be restricted by environmental laws or require certain expenditures. Failure to comply with environmental laws may result in sanctions by governmental agencies or liability to third parties. The cost of compliance or defense against claims from a contaminated property will likely affect our results of operations and ability to make distributions.

The insurance we purchase for our properties might not be adequate to cover losses we incur.

Although the Manager arranges for, or will require tenants to maintain, comprehensive insurance coverage on our properties, some catastrophic types of losses (e.g., from hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or other types of natural disasters or wars or other acts of violence) may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. If a disaster occurs, we could suffer a complete loss of capital invested in, and any profits expected from, the affected properties. If uninsured damages to a property occur or a loss exceeds policy limits and we do not have adequate cash to fund repairs, we may be forced to sell the property at a loss or to borrow capital to fund the repairs.

Risks Related to Debt Financing

Our business strategy relies on external financing and, as a result, we may be negatively affected by restrictions on additional borrowings and are subject to the risks associated with leverage, including our debt service obligations.

We use leverage so that we may make more investments than would otherwise be possible in order to maximize potential returns to stockholders. We have been gradually reducing our overall leverage over the past few years, particularly in light of the Operating Company receiving an investment grade credit rating, but we still maintain a significant amount of debt, and may increase our debt going forward. Our ability to achieve our investment objectives will be affected by our ability to borrow money in sufficient amounts and on favorable terms. In addition, we may be unable to obtain the degree of leverage we believe to be optimal, which may cause us to have less cash for distribution to stockholders than we would have with an optimal amount of leverage.

We have incurred, and intend to incur in the future, unsecured borrowings and mortgage indebtedness, which may increase our business risks, could hinder our ability to make distributions, and could decrease the value of an investment in our shares.

We have incurred, and plan to incur in the future, financing through unsecured borrowings under term loans and our revolving line of credit and mortgage loans secured by some or all of our real properties. In some cases the mortgage loans we incur are guaranteed by us, the Operating Company, or both. We may also borrow funds if necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute to stockholders as dividends at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income, or otherwise as is necessary or advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our current Leverage Policy targets a leverage ratio equal to 35% to 45% of the approximate market value of our assets. The actual leverage ratio will vary over time but may not exceed 50% without the approval of the Independent Directors Committee. Depending on market conditions and other factors, the Independent Directors Committee may change our Leverage Policy from time to time in its discretion.

We may incur mortgage debt on a particular property, especially if we believe the property’s projected cash flow is sufficient to service the mortgage debt. If there is a shortfall in cash flow, however, then the amount available for distributions to our stockholders may be affected. In addition, incurring mortgage debt may increase the risk of loss since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and our loss of the property securing the loan that is in default. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax

basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure but would not receive any of the proceeds. We may give full or partial guarantees to lenders to the Operating Company or its affiliates. If we give a guaranty on behalf of the Operating Company, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by the Operating Company. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, there is a risk that more than one of our real properties may be affected by a default. If any of our properties are foreclosed upon due to a default, our results of operations and ability to pay distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.

Our line of credit and term loan agreements contain various covenants which, if not complied with, could accelerate our repayment obligations, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, and ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

We are subject to various financial and operational covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to the agreements we have entered into governing our line of credit and term loans. These covenants require us to, among other things, maintain certain financial ratios, including fixed charge coverage, debt service coverage, and a minimum tangible net worth, amongst others. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our loan covenants. Our continued compliance, however, with these covenants depends on many factors, and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions, and thus there are no assurances that we will continue to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with these covenants would result in a default which, if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders, could accelerate our repayment obligations and thereby have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We have a significant amount of debt. Although we believe we have effectively hedged the risk of interest rate increases through swaps, we will need to refinance our debt in the future. Accordingly, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating cash flow and ability to pay distributions. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum or anticipated return on such investments.

An inability to refinance existing mortgage debt as it matures could impact distributions to our stockholders.

Since the mortgage loans secured by certain of our properties amortize over a period longer than their maturity, we will owe substantial amounts of principal on the maturity of such loans. If we cannot refinance these loans on favorable terms, more of our cash from operations may be required to service the loans, properties may have to be sold to fund principal repayments, or properties may be lost to foreclosure. This could adversely affect our results of operations and reduce cash available for distributions.

Failure to maintain our current credit rating could adversely affect our cost of capital, liquidity, and access to capital markets.

In March of 2016, Moody’s Investors Service assigned the Operating Company an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook. As a result of receiving the investment grade credit rating, effective April 1, 2016, the interest rate pricing grids utilized to determine the spread we pay over LIBOR for two of our three unsecured credit facilities changed from being dependent upon our leverage ratio, to being dependent upon our credit rating. The rating is based on a number of factors, including an assessment of our financial strength, portfolio size and diversification, credit and operating metrics, and sustainability of cash flow and earnings. If we are unable to maintain our current credit rating it could adversely affect our cost of capital, liquidity, and access to capital markets. Factors that could negatively impact our credit rating include, but are not limited to: a

 

30

significant increase in our leverage on a sustained basis; a significant increase in secured debt levels; a significant decline in our unencumbered asset base; and a significant decline in our portfolio diversification.

Disruptions in the financial markets or deteriorating economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to obtain debt financing on attractive terms and impact our acquisitions and dispositions.

In periods when the capital and credit markets experience significant volatility, the amounts, sources, and cost of capital available to us may be adversely affected. We use external financing to refinance indebtedness as it matures and to partially fund our acquisitions. If sufficient sources of external financing are not available to us on cost effective terms, we could be forced to limit our planned business activities or take other actions to fund our business activities and repayment of debt such as selling assets or reducing our cash distributions. To the extent that we are able to, or choose to, access capital at a higher cost than we have experienced in recent years, our earnings and cash flows could be adversely affected. Uncertainty in the credit markets also could negatively impact our ability to make acquisitions, make it more difficult or impossible for us to sell properties, or may adversely affect the price we receive for properties that we do sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of debt financing or difficulties in obtaining debt financing.

Federal Income Tax Risks

Failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce our net income and the investment return of our stockholders would be adversely affected.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year of losing our REIT status. A loss of our REIT status would reduce distributions to our stockholders due to our additional tax liability. In addition, distributions to our stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends-paid deduction, and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we may need to borrow funds or liquidate some of our properties in order to pay the applicable taxes.

Legislative, regulatory or administrative changes could adversely affect us and our tenants.

Legislative, regulatory or administrative changes could be enacted or promulgated at any time, either prospectively or with retroactive effect, and may adversely affect us and our tenants.

The President, the House leadership, and the Senate leadership all have expressed interest in passing comprehensive tax reform this year. While certain aspects of tax reform proposals have been described, proposed legislation has not yet been introduced by the leaders of the House Ways and Means Committee or the Senate Finance Committee. None of the descriptions of tax reform proposals have specifically addressed the treatment of REITs. Moreover, there is not yet agreement between the President, the House leadership and the Senate leadership about the specifics of tax reform. To date, the focus of the House plan differs significantly from the Senate plan. Accordingly, there is no assurance that comprehensive tax reform will be enacted, when any such legislation might be enacted, what specific measures will be included in any enacted tax reform language, or whether tax reform would adversely affect us, our stockholders or our tenants.

All of the tax reform proposals share a desire to reduce maximum corporate income tax rates and reform U.S. taxation of income earned outside the United States. Lower corporate rates would be at least partially paid for by reducing or eliminating various tax benefits. Given that the same tax benefits generally apply to businesses conducted through non-corporate structures, there is also pressure on reducing the tax rates applicable to non-corporate businesses.

Some of the tax benefits identified as possibly being eliminated or reduced include various tax benefits that have been important to the real estate industry, including REITs, such as eliminating the like-kind exchange rules or the deduction of net interest expense. Loss of a deduction for net interest expense would substantially increase

our REIT taxable income and, absent amendments to the REIT rules, our distribution obligations. In addition, it is possible that substantially reduced corporate tax rates or Senate interest in integrating taxation of stockholders and corporations could reduce or eliminate the relative attractiveness of REITs as a vehicle for owning real estate.

Our stockholders and prospective investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in shares of our common stock.

Recharacterization of sale-leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status, which would reduce the investment return of our stockholders.

We may purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. If the IRS were to challenge our characterization of such transaction as a “true-lease” and recharacterize the transaction as a financing transaction or loan for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale-leaseback transaction is recharacterized, we may fail to satisfy the REIT qualification asset tests or income tests and, consequently, lose our REIT status. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated, which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirements for a taxable year.

Our stockholders may have current tax liability on distributions based on an election to reinvest in our common stock.

A stockholder who participates in our distribution reinvestment plan will be deemed to have received, and for income tax purposes will be taxed on, the amount reinvested in shares of our common stock to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax-free return of capital. As a result, unless a stockholder is a tax-exempt entity, the investor may have to use funds from other sources to pay the investor’s tax liability on the value of the shares of common stock received.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to federal, state, and local taxes on our income or property. For example:

 

    In order to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excludes net capital gain), and to the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income.

 

    We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income, and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.

 

    If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold or acquire primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, we must pay a tax on that income at the highest corporate income tax rate.

 

    If we sell a property, other than foreclosure property, that we hold or acquire primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax.

 

    We may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of our buildings through a taxable REIT subsidiary, including real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings that exceed allowable limits related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes.

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions to make distributions to our stockholders, which could increase our operating costs and decrease the value of our stockholders’ investment.

To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute to our stockholders each year 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excludes net capital gain). At times, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy these distribution requirements and may need to borrow funds to maintain our REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes. These borrowing needs could result from (i) differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes; (ii) the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures; (iii) the creation of reserves; or (iv) required debt or amortization payments. We may need to borrow funds at times when market conditions are unfavorable. Such borrowings could increase our costs and reduce the value of our common stock.

To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to forego otherwise attractive opportunities, which could delay or hinder our ability to meet our investment objectives and lower the return on an investment in us.

To qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets, and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

In certain circumstances, we may be liable for certain tax obligations of certain of the members of the Operating Company.

In certain circumstances, we may be liable for tax obligations of certain of the members of the Operating Company. In connection with certain UPREIT transactions, we have entered into tax protection agreements under which we have agreed to minimize the tax consequences to members of the Operating Company resulting from the sale or other disposition of our assets in taxable transactions, with specific exceptions and limitations. Pursuant to the tax protection agreements we have also agreed to ensure that such members of the Operating Company are allocated minimum amounts of the Operating Company’s indebtedness. If we fail to meet our obligations under the tax protection agreements, we may be required to reimburse those members of the Operating Company for the amount of the tax liabilities they incur, subject to certain limitations. We may enter into additional tax protection agreements in the future in connection with other UPREIT transactions. In order to limit our exposure to a tax obligation, our use of proceeds from any sales or dispositions of certain properties will be limited. In addition, the indemnification obligations may be significant.

New partnership audit rules could increase the tax liability borne by us in the event of a U.S. federal income tax audit of a subsidiary partnership.

New partnership audit rules apply to partnership taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and may alter who bears the liability in the event any subsidiary partnership is audited and an adjustment is assessed. Under the new rules, the partnership itself may be liable for a hypothetical increase in partner-level taxes (including interest and penalties) resulting from an adjustment of partnership tax items on audit, regardless of changes in the composition of the partners (or their relative ownership of the partnership) between the year under audit and the year of the adjustment. The new rules also include an elective alternative method under which the additional taxes resulting from the adjustment are assessed from the affected partners, subject to a higher rate of interest than otherwise would apply. Many questions remain as to how the new rules will apply, in particular with respect to partners that are REITs, and it is not clear at this time what effect these new rules will have on us. However, these rules could increase the U.S. federal income taxes, interest and penalties otherwise borne by us in the event of a U.S. federal income tax audit of a subsidiary partnership.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with Item 2. “Selected Financial Data” and Item 1. “Business” of this Form 10, as well as the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10, including information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Form 10 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. We focus on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties. We lease properties to retail, healthcare, industrial, and other commercial businesses under long-term lease agreements. Properties are generally leased on a triple-net basis such that tenants pay all operating expenses relating to the property during the lease term, including, but not limited to, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs.

We seek to make investments in additional properties and manage our portfolio to preserve, protect, and return capital to investors; realize increased cash available for distributions and long-term capital appreciation from growth in the rental income and value of our properties; and maximize the level of sustainable cash distributions to our investors.

Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, or the Operating Company, is the entity through which we conduct our business and own (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of our properties. At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we owned economic interests of 91.4%, 89.6% and 92.9%, respectively, in the Operating Company. We are also the sole managing member of the Operating Company. The remaining interests are held by members who acquired their interest by contributing property to the Operating Company in exchange for membership units of the Operating Company.

As of December 31, 2016, we owned a diversified portfolio of 417 individual net leased commercial properties located in 37 states, with approximately 12.9 million rentable square feet of operational space, 106 different commercial tenants, and no single tenant accounting for 5% or more of our rental stream. We collected 100% of rents due during 2016 and maintained a 100% leased portfolio. The weighted average remaining term of our leases (calculated based on potential contractual rental revenue) as of December 31, 2016 was approximately 13.4 years, excluding renewal options, which are exercisable at the option of our tenants upon expiration of their base lease term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We acquire real estate with a combination of debt and equity capital and with cash from operations that is not otherwise distributed to our stockholders. Our focus is on maximizing the risk-adjusted return on investments through an appropriate balance of debt and equity in our capital structure. Therefore, we attempt to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet with appropriate interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. While we target a leverage ratio with total debt equal to 35% to 45% of the approximate market value of our assets, we seek to exploit opportunities where the relative cost of debt versus equity would result in increased returns. We believe our current leverage model has allowed us to take advantage of the lower cost of debt while simultaneously strengthening our balance sheet, as evidenced by the investment grade credit rating the Operating Company received in March of 2016. The actual leverage ratio will vary over time but may not exceed 50% without the approval of the Independent Directors Committee. As of December 31, 2016, the leverage ratio

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

approximated 40.5% of the market value of assets. From a management perspective and in communications with the credit rating agencies, we also consider our leverage position as a multiple of Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA is a tool we use to measure leverage in the context of our cash-flow expectations and projections. Furthermore, given the significance of our growth over the past two years, adding $518.8 million in investments during 2016 and $550.1 million in investments during 2015, coupled with our continued strategic growth initiatives, historical EBITDA may not provide investors with an adequate picture of the contractual cash in-flows associated with these investments. Our investments are typically made throughout the year, and therefore the full-year, or “normalized” cash-flows, will not be realized until subsequent years. Accordingly, we look at contractual, “normalized,” cash-flows and EBITDA as an appropriate tool to manage our leverage profile. We utilize this analysis inclusive of our focus on debt-to-market value metrics.

Our equity capital for our real estate acquisition activity is provided from the proceeds of our ongoing private offering, including distributions reinvested through our DRIP. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we raised $290.9 million in equity capital to be used in our acquisition activities, including distributions reinvested through our DRIP and properties exchanged for membership units in the Operating Company through UPREIT transactions. We seek to maintain an appropriate balance of debt and equity capital in our overall leverage policy, while maintaining a focus on increasing core value for existing stockholders (achieved via share appreciation and earnings growth). Our debt capital is provided through unsecured term notes and revolving debt facilities. We also, from time to time, obtain non-recourse mortgage financing from banks and insurance companies secured by mortgages on the corresponding specific property. Mortgages, however, are not a strategic focus of the active management of our leverage profile. Rather, we enter into mortgages and notes payable as ancillary business transactions on an as-needed basis.

To reduce our exposure to variable rate debt, the Operating Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rate of interest as a hedge against interest rate fluctuations. These interest rate hedges have staggered maturities up to ten years in duration in order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations in any one year. The interest rate swaps are applied against a pool of debt, which offers flexibility in maintaining our hedge designation concurrent with our ongoing capital market activity. We have one amortizing interest rate swap agreement that is tied to an unpaid mortgage loan. We limit our total exposure to floating rate debt to no more than 5% of total assets, measured at quarter end. To reduce counterparty concentration risk with respect to the interest rate hedges, we diversify the institutions that serve as swap counterparties and no more than 30% of the nominal value of our total hedged debt may be with any one institution, to be measured at the time we enter into an interest rate swap transaction and at quarter end. We may deviate from these policies from time-to-time subject to the approval of the Independent Directors Committee. The interest rate swaps are considered cash flow hedges. Under these agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable rate borrowings.

The availability of debt to finance commercial real estate can be impacted by economic and other factors that are beyond our control. We seek to reduce the risk that long-term debt capital may be unavailable to us by strengthening our balance sheet through our investments in real estate with credit-worthy tenants and lease guarantors and maintaining an appropriate mix of debt and equity capitalization. Specifically, we recognized a 100% collection rate on rentals during 2016. Additionally, Moody’s issued an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 to the Operating Company in March of 2016, further evidencing our active management of a conservative capital structure. We have arranged our debt facilities to have multiple-year terms in order to reduce the risk that short-term real estate financing would not be available to us in any given year. As we grow our real estate portfolio, we also intend to manage our debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of our debt will mature in any single year in the future. Refer to the “Contractual Obligations” section below for further details of the maturities on our contractual obligations, including long-term debt.

As of December 31, 2016, the historical cost basis of our real estate investment portfolio totaled $1.7 billion, consisting of investments in 417 properties with rent and interest due from our tenants aggregating

over $11.9 million per month on a straight-line basis. During 2016 we closed 22 real estate acquisitions totaling $518.8 million, adding 88 new properties and a capital expansion on an existing property to our portfolio. The 88 new properties will provide over $3.4 million in monthly rent on a straight-line basis. Substantially all of our cash from operations is generated by our real estate portfolio.

Our primary cash expenditures are the monthly interest payments we make on the debt we use to finance our real estate investment portfolio, asset management and property management fees of servicing the portfolio, acquisition expenses related to the growth of our portfolio, and the general and administrative expenses of operating our business. Since substantially all of our leases are triple-net, our tenants are generally responsible for the maintenance, insurance, and property taxes associated with the properties they lease from us. In certain circumstances, the terms of the lease require us to pay these expenses, however, in most cases we are reimbursed by the tenants. Accordingly, we do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property costs during the term of a property lease.

We intend to continue to grow through additional real estate investments. To accomplish this objective, we must continue to identify real estate acquisitions that are consistent with our underwriting guidelines and raise additional future debt and equity capital. We have financed our acquisition of properties using both equity investments as well as a combination of unsecured term and revolving debt and mortgage loans. The mix of financing sources may change over time based on market conditions and our liquidity needs. We have three outstanding unsecured term loans with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $660 million as of December 31, 2016, and a $300 million line of credit with $102 million of outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2016.

Our $100 million term note (“Term Note 1”) and our line of credit (“Revolver”) mature on June 27, 2017, with two one-year extensions at our option if we are in compliance with all covenants and pay the required fee of 0.125%. Borrowings under Term Note 1 and the Revolver originally bore interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin. In March of 2016, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) assigned the Operating Company an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook. As a result of receiving the investment grade credit rating, effective April 1, 2016, the interest rate pricing grids utilized to determine the margin we pay over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) changed from being dependent upon our leverage ratio, to being dependent upon our credit rating. The investment grade credit led to a margin of 1.45% on Term Note 1 and the Revolver, effective April 1, 2016. Should the Operating Company lose its investment grade credit rating, the margin would be 1.75% until such time as the Operating Company regains its investment grade credit rating. The following tables present the margins on Term Note 1 and the Revolver based (a) on our leverage ratio and (b) on credit ratings from S&P or Moody’s.

An annual fee on the unused portion of the Revolver is due on a quarterly basis at a rate tied to the margin and the credit rating (the rate was 0.30% at December 31, 2016). As of December 31, 2016, we had $198 million of borrowing capacity remaining on the Revolver.

Our $375 million term note (“Term Note 3”) matures on February 6, 2019 and provides for two one-year extension options, at our option, subject to compliance with all covenants and the payment of a 0.10% fee. Borrowings under Term Note 3 originally bore interest at variable rates based on the one-month LIBOR plus a margin. Moody’s assignment of an investment grade credit rating to the Operating Company led to a margin of 1.40% on Term Note 3, effective April 1, 2016. Should the Operating Company lose its investment grade credit rating, the margin would be 1.75% until such time as the Operating Company regains its investment grade credit rating.

Although borrowings under each of the Term Note 1, Term Note 2, Term Note 3, and the Revolver are unsecured, they are supported by certain of our unsecured properties and assets, which we define as the “Borrowing Base.” Total aggregate borrowings cannot exceed 60.0% of the Borrowing Base under the terms of the loan agreements. The 60% limitation approximated $1.04 billion at December 31, 2016.

The Operating Company achieved its investment grade credit rating based on our conservative leverage profile, diversified portfolio, and earnings stability based on the credit-worthiness of our tenants, which we intend to maintain concurrent with our growth objectives. Factors that could negatively impact our credit rating include, but are not limited to: a significant increase in our leverage on a sustained basis; a significant increase in secured debt levels; a significant decline in our unencumbered asset base; and a significant decline in our portfolio diversification. We have aligned our strategic growth priorities with these factors, as we believe the favorable debt pricing and access to additional sources of debt capital resulting from the investment grade credit rating provides us with an advantageous cost of capital and risk-adjusted return on investment for our stockholders.

Borrowings under each of the Term Note 1, Term Note 2, Term Note 3, and the Revolver are payable interest only, monthly, with the principal amount due in full at maturity. We intend to exercise the extension provisions of each of the loan agreements, refinance, or replace the existing borrowings. The extensions would delay Term Note 1’s and the Revolver’s maturities until June 2019, Term Note 2’s maturity until October 2020, and Term Note 3’s maturity until February 2021. We do not intend to make principal payments on these obligations in the foreseeable future, and plan to replace our existing credit facilities with new debt prior to maturity. Additionally, we may be required to increase our borrowing capacity to partially fund future

acquisitions. We assess market conditions and the availability and pricing of debt on an ongoing basis, which are critical inputs in our strategic planning and decision making process. While we believe the current market conditions provide our stockholders with an advantageous capitalization structure and risk-adjusted return, we believe our conservative capital structure is appropriate to absorb temporary market fluctuations. Significant adverse market conditions could impact the availability of debt to fund future acquisitions, our ability to recognize growth in earnings and return on investment for stockholders, and our ability to recast the debt facilities at cost-advantageous pricing points. In the event of such conditions, we would plan to revise our capitalization structure and strategic initiatives to maximize return on investment for stockholders. To the extent that we are unable to recast our debt facilities, our cash-flows from operations will not be adequate to pay the principal amount of debt, and we may be forced to liquidate properties to satisfy our obligations.

We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to the loan agreements we have entered into. The table below summarizes the applicable financial covenants, which are substantially the same across each of our loan agreements. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our covenants. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock above the annual 90% REIT taxable income distribution requirement. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the required distribution amounts.

(1)  The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of total indebtedness to total market value. Total market value is computed as the net operating income for the most recently completed fiscal quarter on properties owned for four consecutive quarters at a capitalization rate of 7.75%, multiplied by four, plus the acquisition price of properties in the last four quarters, plus tangible assets comprised of current assets on a GAAP basis and notes receivable.
(2)  The secured indebtedness ratio is the ratio of secured indebtedness to total market value. The secured indebtedness represents outstanding mortgage borrowings.
(3)  The recourse secured indebtedness ratio is the ratio of recourse secured indebtedness to total market value. Total recourse indebtedness at December 31, 2016 was $5.7 million.
(4)  Adjusted EBITDA to interest expense is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense for the most recent fiscal quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, gain/loss on sale of properties, dividend income, gain/loss on debt extinguishment, straight-line rent adjustments, transaction costs expensed, amortization of intangibles, and interest rate swap ineffectiveness, if applicable.

(5)  Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recent fiscal quarter. Fixed charges are calculated as interest expense plus any principal payments on debt, excluding balloon payments, if applicable.
(6)  Tangible net worth is calculated as stockholders’ equity, plus increases in depreciation and amortization since the original agreement date of December 2014, less intangible assets.
(7) Total Unsecured Indebtedness to Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value is the ratio of unsecured indebtedness to total unencumbered eligible property value. Total unsecured indebtedness includes the unsecured term notes and the Revolver, as well as $0.75 million of an unsecured note payable. Unencumbered eligible property value includes all real estate properties that are not secured by mortgages.

We believe our leverage policy and capital structure provides us with several advantages, including the ability to:

 

    create a growing and diversified real estate portfolio;

 

    capitalize on competitive debt pricing;

 

    add value to our stockholders through earnings growth on a growing pool of assets; and

 

    issue unsecured debt having relatively limited negative financial covenants and maintain the distributions necessary to retain our tax-sheltered REIT status in the event of contractual default, which we believe increases our corporate flexibility.

We do not anticipate utilizing mortgage loans as a strategic priority in our capital structure to fund growth. When utilized, mortgage loans typically correspond to a single property or a group of related properties acquired from a single seller. The loans may be further secured by guarantees from us or the Operating Company, provided that we attempt to limit the use of guarantees to the extent possible. The Operating Company may assume debt when conducting a transaction or it may mortgage existing properties. The maturities on our mortgages are staggered from 2017 to 2031. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate GAAP principal balance of outstanding mortgage loans approximated $106.7 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs.

On April 18, 2017, the Operating Company closed on the issuance of unsecured, fixed-rate, guaranteed senior promissory notes (“Senior Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The Senior Notes were issued by the Operating Company and guaranteed by us and each of the Operating Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee our Revolver and term notes. The Senior Notes were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.84% per annum (priced at 240 basis points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield at the time of pricing), and mature on April 18, 2027. We used the proceeds to pay down $115 million of the outstanding balance on the Revolver at the time of closing and to fund continued operations. The Senior Notes’ financial covenants are materially consistent with the covenant table above. Additionally, the aggregate borrowings were within the Leverage Policy and the Borrowing Base limitation.

As part of acquisitions closed during 2016, we entered into tenant improvement allowances totaling $10.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we made payments of $1.0 million under these allowances, resulting in a total tenant improvement allowance balance of $9.5 million at December 31, 2016, included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We expect to pay the remaining tenant improvement allowances within the next twelve months out of cash flows from operations.

As shown in the table below, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.8 million from $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, to $38.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, and increased by $28.6 million to $67.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The year-over-year increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to the increase in the size of our real estate investment portfolio. Our real estate investing activities have grown in volume since 2014 as we continue to make headway into our target markets by identifying and acquiring real estate, primarily through sale-leaseback transactions, as a result of increased access to debt and equity capital and favorable opportunities. We funded real estate

investment activity with a combination of cash from operations, proceeds from the issuance of unsecured debt obligations, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. We paid cash dividends to our stockholders and noncontrolling members of the Operating Company, net of reinvestments through our DRIP, totaling $42.7 million in 2016, $27.2 million in 2015, and $21.8 million in 2014. Cash for the increase in dividends between years resulted primarily from the increase in cash provided by our operations. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $21.6 million at December 31, 2016, $27.0 million at December 31, 2015, and $4.1 million at December 31, 2014.

Management believes that the cash generated by our operations and our ongoing private offering, our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016, our current borrowing capacity on our revolver and three unsecured credit facilities, and our access to long-term debt capital, including through the debt private placement market, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future and allow us to acquire the real estate to meet our strategic objectives.

Impact of Inflation

Our leases with tenants of our properties are long-term in nature, with a current weighted average remaining lease term of 13.4 years as of December 31, 2016. To mitigate the impact of inflation on our fixed revenue streams, we have implemented limited escalation clauses in our leases. As of December 31, 2016, all of our leases had contractual lease escalations, with a weighted average of 2.1% for 2016. A substantial majority of our leases have fixed annual rent increases, and the remaining portion has annual lease escalations based on increases in the CPI, or periodic escalations over the term of the lease (e.g., a 10% increase every five years). These lease escalations mitigate the risk of fixed revenue streams in the case of an inflationary economic environment, and provide increased return in otherwise stable market conditions. As a majority of our portfolio has fixed lease escalations, there is a risk that inflation could be greater than the contractual rent increases.

Our focus on single-tenant, triple-net leases also shelters us from fluctuations in the cost of services and maintenance as a result of inflation. For an insignificant portion of our portfolio, we have leases that are not triple-net, and therefore we bear certain responsibilities for the maintenance and structural component replacement that may be required in the future. Inflation and increased costs may have an adverse impact to our tenants and their credit-worthiness if the increase in costs are greater than their increase in revenue. In the limited circumstances where we cannot implement a triple-net lease, we attempt to limit our exposure to inflation through the use of warranties and other remedies that reduce the likelihood of a significant capital outlay.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2016.

As detailed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section above, in April 2017, the Operating Company closed on the issuance of the Senior Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.84% per annum and mature on April 18, 2027. We used the proceeds to pay down $115 million of the outstanding balance on the Revolver at the time of closing and to fund continued operations.

At December 31, 2016, investment in rental property of $164.5 million is pledged as collateral against our mortgages and notes payable.

Additionally, we have two separate Tax Protection Agreements (the “Agreements”) with the contributing members (the “Protected Members”) of two distinct UPREIT transactions conducted in November 2015 and February 2016. The Agreements require us to pay monetary damages in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property in a taxable transaction that would cause a Protected Member to recognize a Protected Gain, as defined in the Agreements and subject to certain exceptions. In such an event, we will pay monetary damages to the Protected Members in the amount of the aggregate federal, state, and local income taxes incurred as a result of the income or gain allocated or recognized by the Protected Member as an outcome of the transaction, subject to certain caps and limitations contained in the Agreements. We are required to allocate to the Protected Members, an amount of nonrecourse liabilities that is at least equal to the Minimum Liability Amount for each Protected Member, as defined in the Agreements. The Minimum Liability Amount and the associated allocation of nonrecourse liabilities are calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations, are completed at the Operating Company level, and do not represent GAAP accounting. Therefore, there is no impact to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10. If the nonrecourse liabilities allocated do not meet the requirement, we will pay monetary damages to the Protected Members in the amount of the aggregate federal, state, and local income taxes incurred as a result of the income or gain allocated or recognized by the Protected Member as an outcome to the default. The maximum aggregate amount we may be liable for

under the Agreements is approximately $10.4 million. Based on information available, we do not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have excluded this commitment from the contractual commitments table above.

2016 versus 2015

Total revenues increased by $44.8 million or 45.7% to $142.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $98.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The growth in revenue year-over-year is primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we closed 22 real estate acquisitions and acquired $518.8 million in real estate comprised of 88 new properties and improvements to one of our existing properties. Our real estate investments in new properties were made throughout the period and were not all outstanding for the entire period. During 2016, we recognized $16.9 million of the $40.9 million in annualized straight-line rental income from new properties acquired in 2016, with the remaining increase expected to be recognized in 2017. The increase in revenues from 2015 is also a result of the acquisitions made throughout 2015, in particular towards the second-half of the year, whereby we recognized the full annualized straight-line rental revenues in 2016. In 2016, we recognized $28.8 million of the $43.4 million in annualized straight-line rental income from properties acquired in 2015. The increase in total revenues as a result of acquisitions made in 2016 and 2015 was partially offset by real estate disposals.

The rental rates we receive on sale-leaseback transactions and lease assumptions on the various types of properties we target across the United States vary from transaction to transaction based on many factors, such as the terms of the lease, each property’s real estate fundamentals, and the market rents in the area. The initial contractual cash lease payments on acquisitions during 2016 represented a weighted average capitalization rate of 6.83%.

2015 versus 2014

Revenues increased by $29.9 million or 43.9% to $98.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $68.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The growth in revenue year-over-year is primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we acquired $550.1 million in real estate comprised of 116 new properties and land adjacent to one of our existing

properties. Our real estate investments were made throughout the period with weighting towards the second-half of the year, and were not all outstanding for the entire period. During 2015, we recognized $14.6 million of the $43.4 million in annualized straight-line rental income from properties acquired in 2015, and recognized the remaining increase in 2016. The initial contractual cash lease payments on acquisitions during 2015 represented a weighted average capitalization rate of 6.83%. The remaining increase in revenues as compared to 2014 is the result of the acquisitions made throughout 2014, whereby we recognized the full annualized straight-line rental revenues in 2015.

Depreciation and amortization – 2016 versus 2015

Depreciation and amortization increased by $16.9 million, or 57.6% to $46.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we acquired $518.8 million in real estate comprised of 88 new properties and a capital expansion on an existing property. Our real estate investments were made throughout the period and were not all outstanding for the entire period; accordingly, only a portion of the increase in annualized depreciation is reflected in the full-year 2016 amounts.

Depreciation and amortization – 2015 versus 2014

Depreciation and amortization increased by $9.9 million, or 50.9% to $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of the growth in our real estate portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we acquired $550.1 million in real estate. Our real estate investments were made throughout the period and were not all outstanding for the entire period; accordingly, only a portion of the increase in annualized depreciation is reflected in the full-year 2015 amounts.

Asset management fees – 2016 versus 2015

Asset management fees increased by $3.9 million, or 55.6% to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Asset Manager receives an annual asset management fee equal to 1% of the aggregate value of our equity on a fully diluted basis based on the Determined Share Value. The increase in asset management fees during 2016 is a result of an increase in the equity on a fully diluted basis and the increase in the Determined Share Value. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we increased the Determined Share Value 4.1% from $74.00 per share as of December 31, 2015 to $77.00 per share as of December 31, 2016. Additionally, the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and noncontrolling membership units of the Operating Company outstanding increased as the result of continued equity capital investments. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and noncontrolling

membership units of the Operating Company outstanding was 14.6 million compared to 9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in equity capital was used to partially fund the continued growth in our real estate portfolio.

Asset management fees – 2015 versus 2014

Asset management fees increased by $2.6 million, or 58.6% to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Asset Manager receives an annual asset management fee equal to 1% of the aggregate value of our equity on a fully diluted basis based on the Determined Share Value. The increase in asset management fees during 2015 is a result of an increase in the equity on a fully diluted basis and the increase in the Determined Share Value. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we increased the Determined Share Value 4.2% from $71.00 per share as of December 31, 2014 to $74.00 per share as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and noncontrolling membership units of the Operating Company outstanding increased as the result of continued equity capital investments. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and noncontrolling membership units of the Operating Company outstanding was 9.7 million compared to 6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in equity capital was used to partially fund the continued growth in our real estate portfolio.

Property Management Fees – 2016 versus 2015

Property management fees increased by $1.2 million, or 46.0% to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Manager is compensated for its property management services by receiving, as of the end of each month, a property management fee equal to 3% of gross rentals collected from the real estate portfolio for that month. The increase in property management fees is primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we acquired $518.8 million in real estate comprised of 88 new properties and a capital expansion on an existing property from 22 separate acquisitions. Our real estate investments were made throughout the period and were not all outstanding for the entire period; accordingly, a portion of the increase in property management fees calculated based on the additional rental revenue from these acquisitions will be recognized in subsequent periods. Additionally, we recognized average annual rent increases of approximately 2.1% during 2016, contributing to growth in property management fees on properties owned in the prior year (i.e., “same store” basis).

Property Management Fees – 2015 versus 2014

Property management fees increased by $0.8 million, or 41.8% to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Manager is compensated for its property management services by receiving, as of the end of each month, a property management fee equal to 3% of gross rentals collected from the real estate portfolio. The increase in property management fees is primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we acquired $550.1 million in real estate. Our real estate investments were made throughout the period with weighting towards the second half of the year, and were not all outstanding for the entire period; accordingly, a portion of the increase in property management fees calculated based on the additional rental revenue from these acquisitions will be recognized in subsequent periods. Additionally, we recognized average annual rent increases of approximately 2.0% during 2015, contributing to growth in property management fees on properties owned in the prior year (i.e., “same store” basis).

Acquisition Expenses – 2016 versus 2015

Acquisition expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 9.4% to $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, we pay the Asset Manager an acquisition fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase price paid for each property we acquire (including properties contributed in exchange

for membership units in the Operating Company); provided, however, that in the event that our acquisition of a property requires a new lease (as opposed to taking an assignment of an existing lease), such as in the case of a sale-leaseback transaction, we pay the Asset Manager an acquisition fee equal to 2% of the gross purchase price as a result of the additional leasing services required. The increase in acquisition expenses year-over-year is a result of increased legal expenses due to the increased complexity of acquisitions closed during 2016. The impact was slightly offset by a 5.7% decrease in acquisition activity from 2015 to 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016 we acquired $518.8 million in real estate, as compared to $550.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Acquisition Expenses – 2015 versus 2014

Acquisition expenses increased by $5.3 million, or 112.8% to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, we pay the Asset Manager an acquisition fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase price paid for each property we acquire (including properties contributed in exchange for membership units in the Operating Company); provided, however, that in the event that our acquisition of a property requires a new lease (as opposed to taking an assignment of an existing lease), such as in the case of a sale-leaseback transaction, we pay the Asset Manager an acquisition fee equal to 2% of the gross purchase price as a result of the additional leasing services required. The increase in acquisition expenses year-over-year is a result of increased acquisition activity. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we acquired $550.1 million in real estate, as compared to $236.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Property and operating expense – 2016 versus 2015

Property and operating expense increased by $0.5 million, or 15.2% to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase is attributable to increased insurance rates and real estate taxes on the underlying real estate properties. These expenses are paid by us and reimbursed by the tenant under the terms of the respective leases. There was a corresponding increase in the Operating expenses reimbursed by tenants revenue balance.

Property and operating expense – 2015 versus 2014

Property and operating expense increased by $1.5 million, or 77.2% to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of properties during 2015 with lease terms that provide for the landlord to pay for certain expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance, with reimbursement from the tenant. These reimbursements are included in the Operating expenses reimbursed from tenants revenue balance, which experienced a corresponding increase year-over-year.

General and administrative – 2016 versus 2015

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million, or 10.4% to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $0.6 million decrease in bad debt expense resulting from recoveries of previously reserved doubtful accounts without a corresponding replenishment. We recognized 100% collections in 2016. The decrease was partially offset by increased fees for costs and services associated with our requirements to file this Form 10 to register our shares of common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. In addition, we incurred fees associated with the establishment of the Operating Company’s investment grade credit rating. We believe the fees incurred in establishing the investment grade credit rating will be more than offset by the ongoing interest expense savings through a lower margin on our long-term debt.

General and administrative – 2015 versus 2014

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 61.8% to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to increased legal fees associated with acquisition

activity and equity investments in the Operating Company. Additionally, bad debt expense increased by $0.3 million as a result of increased reserves for two tenants.

Asset impairment

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized an asset impairment of $1.6 million on a single property as the result of the tenant’s deteriorating financial condition and the respective rental payments owed to us in arrears. We did not recognize asset impairments for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, which is commensurate with our strong underwriting focus on credit-worthy tenants and our ongoing credit monitoring and maintenance.

(Cost) gain of debt extinguishment – 2016 versus 2015

The (cost) gain of debt extinguishment represents the difference between the price paid to extinguish the debt compared to the carrying value of the debt, plus any unamortized debt acquisition costs at the time of extinguishment. To the extent that the price paid to extinguish the debt is greater than the carrying value of debt, we would recognize a loss on extinguishment. The loss would be increased by the amount of previously capitalized debt acquisition costs that remain unamortized at the time of extinguishment. To the extent that the price paid to extinguish the debt is less than the carrying value of debt, we would recognize a gain on extinguishment, netted by any unamortized debt acquisition costs. These amounts fluctuate period-over-period based on the variability in the interest rate environment, changes in financial institutions’ credit standards, and our activity in capital markets to manage our leverage position.

Preferred distribution income

In June of 2015, we invested $10 million in convertible preferred interests of Broadstone Real Estate, LLC, our Manager, which provide for a stated preferred return of 7.0% with 0.25% increases each year. We earned $0.35 million in income during the year ended December 31, 2015, which represents six months of the preferred return. We earned $0.71 million in income during the year ended December 31, 2016, which represents six months of the preferred return at a stated rate of 7% for the first half of the year and six months of the preferred return at a stated rate of 7.25% for the second half of the year.

Interest Expense – 2016 versus 2015

Interest expense increased to $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, due primarily to an increase in long-term borrowings used to partially fund the acquisition of properties for our growing real estate investment portfolio. The debt outstanding on our unsecured credit facilities increased from $562.1 million at December 31, 2015, to $759.9 million at December 31, 2016. During these periods, our unsecured credit facilities bore interest at a variable rate based on

 

47

the one- and three-month LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.65% to 2.5%. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the one-month LIBOR was 0.62% and 0.24%, respectively, and the three-month LIBOR was 0.93% and 0.42%, respectively. The variability in the LIBOR rates was offset by our interest rate swap positions that effectively fix the interest rates on our long-term debt. The increase in interest expense resulting from the increase in outstanding debt was partially offset by a reduction in our credit spread. The Operating Company’s receipt of an investment grade credit rating in March 2016 lowered the credit spread on two of our three credit facilities to 1.40% and 1.45%, effective April 1, 2016.

Interest Expense – 2015 versus 2014

Interest expense increased to $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, due primarily to an increase in long-term borrowings used to partially fund the acquisition of properties for our growing real estate investment portfolio. The debt outstanding on our unsecured credit facilities increased from $361.5 million at December 31, 2014, to $562.1 million at December 31, 2015. During these periods, our unsecured credit facilities bore interest at a variable rate based on the one- and three-month LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.65% to 2.5%. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the one-month LIBOR was 0.24% and 0.15%, respectively, and the three-month LIBOR was 0.42% and 0.23%, respectively. The variability in the LIBOR rates was offset by our interest rate swap positions that effectively fix the interest rate on our long-term debt.

Gain (loss) on sale of real estate

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a $5.9 million gain on the sale of real estate, compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, and a gain of $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. During 2016, 2015, and 2014 we sold nine properties, six properties, and 22 properties, respectively. Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market.

Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures (FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO)

Our reported results and net earnings per dilutive share are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose Funds from Operations, or FFO, Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, and Operating-Adjusted Funds from Operations, or O-AFFO, each of which are non-GAAP measures. We believe the use of FFO and AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. We believe O-AFFO is an important measure to disclose for comparable purposes based on our externally-managed structure with our Manager and Asset Manager. FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains (losses) from sales of depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, and impairment charges related to previously depreciated real estate assets. To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain non-cash revenues and expenses, including straight-line rents, gain (loss) on extinguishments of debt, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items. We believe that such items are not a result of normal operations and thus we believe excluding such items assists management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors. In addition, our leases include rents that increase over the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rentals over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we

 

48


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

find it useful to evaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates. Additionally, in deriving O-AFFO we exclude transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases as well as acquisition expenses paid to our Asset Manager that are based on a percentage of the gross acquisition purchase price; we exclude these costs from O-AFFO because they are upfront expenses that are recognized in conjunction with an acquisition and therefore are not indicative of ongoing operational results of the portfolio. We believe excluding acquisition expenses provides investors with supplemental performance information that provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. We use AFFO and O-AFFO as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO and O-AFFO are additional useful supplemental measures for investors to consider because they will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO, AFFO or O-AFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, AFFO or O-AFFO accordingly.

The following table presents our non-GAAP FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 and a reconciliation of FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO to net income for the same years. Our measures of FFO, AFFO, and O-AFFO are computed on the basis of amounts attributable to both us and noncontrolling interests. As the noncontrolling interests share in our net income on a one-for-one basis, the basic and diluted per-share amounts are the same.

from the real estate investments made in 2015. We added $518.8 million and $550.1 million in real estate investments during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in net income was partially offset by a 4.9 million increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a result of ongoing equity raises.

Net income increased by $3.7 million, from $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, to $20.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Net earnings per diluted share decreased by $0.44 during the same period to $2.15 per diluted share. The increase in net income is attributable to investments in real estate properties made during 2015, coupled with the annualized revenue streams from the real estate investments made in 2014. We added $550.1 million and $236.5 million in real estate investments during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $3.7 million increase in net income was more than offset by a 3.1 million increase in the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a result of ongoing equity raises. The $0.44 decrease in earnings per diluted share is the result of the timing of investments in real estate in 2015. As the investments in real estate in 2015 were weighted towards the second half of the year, we recognized only a portion of the annualized rental streams in 2015 and recognized the corresponding acquisition expenses in full.

FFO

FFO for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $80.7 million, representing a $29.7 million increase from FFO of $51.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. FFO per diluted share increased by $0.29 during the same period to $5.53 per share. The increase in FFO is primarily driven by increased revenue year-over-year as the result of growth in our real estate investment portfolio. We added $518.8 million in real estate investments during the year ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, the increase in FFO per diluted share is driven by accretive investments made in 2016. From 2015 to 2016, we increased total revenues by 45.7% while total operating expenses only increased 42.2%. Excluding depreciation and amortization, consistent with the computation of FFO, total expenses only increased by 25.1%. The growth in FFO per share is also a result of recognizing annualized rental streams on investments made in the prior year. As the investments in real estate in the prior year were made throughout the period with weighting towards the second-half of the year, we recognized a portion of the increase in the prior year with the remainder in 2016.

FFO for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $51.0 million, representing a $16.4 million increase from FFO of $34.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. FFO per diluted share increased by $0.02 during the same period to $5.24 per share. The increase in FFO is primarily driven by increased revenue year-over-year as the result of growth in our real estate investment portfolio. We added $550.1 million in real estate investments during the year ended December 31, 2015. The growth in FFO per diluted share is attributable to the recognition of annualized rental streams on investments made in the prior year. As we made our investments throughout the period, we recognized a portion of the increase in the prior year with the remainder in 2015. These increases were partially offset by the timing difference between the recognition of acquisition expenses for investments made during the year and the related annualized rental income streams, as well as a $1.6 million reduction in asset impairments that are added back to net income in arriving at FFO. The acquisitions made during 2015 were weighted towards the end of the year. Accordingly, we recognized the full acquisition expenses on the corresponding investments in 2015 and recognized only a portion of the annualized rental revenue streams.

AFFO

AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $66.8 million, representing a $25.4 million increase from AFFO of $41.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. AFFO per diluted share increased by $0.33 during the same period to $4.58 per diluted share. Adjustments to FFO of $13.8 million in 2016 to arrive at AFFO increased approximately $4.2 million, as compared to adjustments to FFO of $9.6 million in 2015. The increase in adjustments to FFO was primarily comprised of a $5.8 million increase in the deduction for straight-line rent in 2016, driven by the volume of acquisitions in 2016 with periodic lease escalation clauses on long-term leases.

In 2016, same store rental revenue increased by 2.1%. The increase in the straight-line rent adjustment was partially offset by a $1.3 million fluctuation in the (gain) cost on debt extinguishment. Consistent with FFO growth, the overall increase in AFFO is primarily driven by increased revenue year-over-year as the result of growth in our real estate investment portfolio.

AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $41.4 million, representing a $12.4 million increase from AFFO of $29.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. AFFO per diluted share decreased by $0.12 during the same period to $4.25 per diluted share. The AFFO contraction is primarily attributable to a $2.1 million increase in the adjustment for straight-line rent. Absolute AFFO dollars increased by $12.4 million as a result of increased revenue year-over-year due to growth in our real estate investment portfolio.

O-AFFO

O-AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $77.2 million, representing a $26.5 million increase from O-AFFO of $50.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. O-AFFO per diluted share increased by $0.08 during the same period to $5.29 per diluted share. Adjustments to AFFO of $10.4 million in 2016 to arrive at O-AFFO increased approximately $1.0 million, as compared to adjustments to AFFO of $9.4 million in 2015. The increase in adjustments to AFFO was primarily comprised of a $0.9 million increase in acquisition expenses as a result of the increased complexity of acquisitions closed during 2016. The impact was slightly offset by a 5.7% decrease in acquisition activity from 2015 to 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2016 we acquired $518.8 million in real estate, as compared to $550.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

O-AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $50.8 million, representing a $17.3 million increase from O-AFFO of $33.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. O-AFFO per diluted share increased by $0.18 during the same period to $5.21 per diluted share. Adjustments to AFFO of $9.4 million in 2015 to arrive at O-AFFO increased approximately $5.0 million, as compared to adjustments to AFFO of $4.4 million in 2014. The increase in adjustments to AFFO was primarily comprised of a $5.3 million increase in acquisition expenses. The increase in acquisition expenses year-over-year is a result of increased acquisition activity. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we acquired $550.1 million in real estate, as compared to $236.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was offset by a $0.3 million increase in the deduction for the amortization of lease intangibles.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as well as other disclosures in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material impact on our financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies and procedures are included in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Rental Property

We record investments in rental property accounted for under operating leases at cost. We record investments in rental property accounted for under direct financing leases at their net investment (which at the inception of the lease generally represents the cost of the property).

 

52


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

We account for acquisitions of rental properties utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, we record the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We recognized all costs of acquisition as an expense at the time of acquisition. The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income from the date of acquisition. We allocate the fair value of rental property acquired with in-place leases to tangible assets, consisting of land and land improvements, buildings, and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of in-place leases and acquired above-market and below-market leases. We use multiple sources to estimate fair value, including information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence and our marketing and leasing activities. Factors that impact our fair value determination include real estate market conditions, industry conditions that the tenant operates in, and characteristics of the real estate and/or real estate appraisals. Changes in any of these factors could impact the future purchase prices of our investments and the corresponding capitalization rates recognized. We do not believe the assumptions used to fair value the investments upon acquisition have a significant degree of estimation uncertainty.

We determine the fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Management then allocates the as-if-vacant value to land and land improvements, buildings, and equipment based on the fair value of the assets.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases equals the costs we would have had to incur to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such costs include the fair value of leasing commissions and other operating costs that would have been incurred to lease the properties, had they been vacant, to their acquired occupancy level. We amortize acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition over the remaining initial non-cancellable terms of the respective leases to amortization expense.

We record acquired above-market and below-market lease values based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of fair market value lease rates at the time of acquisition for the corresponding in-place leases. We amortize the capitalized above-market and below-market lease values as adjustments to rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases.

Should a tenant terminate its lease, we charge the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value to amortization expense and we charge the unamortized portion of above-market or below-market lease value to rental income.

Management estimates the fair value of assumed mortgages and notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. We record assumed mortgages and notes payable at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between the estimated fair value and the notes’ outstanding principal balance is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

We review long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. Such cash flows include factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group.

Inputs used in establishing fair value for real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be

 

53


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market condition, as derived through our use of published commercial real estate market information. We determine the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized an impairment charge on real estate assets of $1.6 million. In determining the fair value of the real estate assets at the time of measurement, we utilized a direct capitalization rate of 18% and a rental growth rate of 2%, both of which are Level 3 inputs. We believe the uncertainty in the future cash flows was reflected in the significant capitalization rate, and the estimates were based on the information available at the time of impairment. On December 30, 2015, we sold the assets for a gain of $0.1 million. The selling price was within a reasonable range of the impaired carrying value, supporting the reasonableness of our impairment estimate. Given the timing difference between the date of impairment and the date of sale, fluctuations in market conditions could have impacted the gain recognized.

We did not recognize impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. We classified the impairment charge within earnings from operations in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income included in this Form 10, which resulted from non-payment of past due rental amounts and concerns over the tenant’s future viability.

Revenue Recognition

At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, management assesses the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. A lease arrangement is classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership transfers to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term is greater than or equal to 75% of the underlying property’s economic life, or (iv) the present value of the future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) is greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased property. If one or more of these criteria are met, and the minimum lease payments are determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement is generally accounted for as a direct financing lease. Revenue recognition methods for operating leases and direct financing leases are described below:

 

    Rental property accounted for under operating leases – Revenue is recognized as rents are earned on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. In most cases, revenue recognition under operating leases begin when the lessee takes possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. For leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as accrued rental income.

 

    Rental property accounted for under direct financing leases – management utilizes the direct finance method of accounting to record direct finance lease income. For a lease accounted for as a direct finance lease, the net investment in the direct finance lease represents receivables for the sum of future minimum lease payments and the estimated residual value of the leased property, less the unamortized unearned income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized into income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on our net investment in the leases.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Management uses interest rate swap agreements to manage risks related to interest rate movements and the corresponding impact to interest expense on long-term debt. We report the interest rate swap agreements, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, at fair value. We record the gain or loss on the effective portion

 

54


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

of the hedge initially as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassify these amounts into earnings when we incur interest on the related debt and as the swap net settlements occur. If and when there is ineffectiveness realized on a swap agreement, management recognizes the ineffectiveness as a component of interest expense in the period incurred. Management documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of and during the term of each hedge. Our interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information on the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business, see note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating rate indebtedness under our unsecured credit facilities and certain mortgages. Borrowings pursuant to our unsecured credit facilities and floating-rate mortgages bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates may increase or decrease our interest expense which will in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.

We manage a portion of our interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements. Our interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable rate debt to a fixed rate. As of December 31, 2016, we had 27 interest rate swap agreements outstanding, with an aggregate notional amount of $736.3 million. Under these agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed interest rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable rate borrowings. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as effective cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of our qualifying cash flow hedges. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

Item 6. Executive Compensation.

Compensation of our Executive Officers

We do not currently have any employees nor do we currently intend to hire any employees who will be compensated directly by us. Our executive officers are not our employees and do not receive compensation from us for services rendered to us as our executive officers. As a result, we do not have nor has our board of directors considered a compensation policy for our executive officers.

Each of our executive officers, including each executive officer who serves as a director, is an officer or employee of our Manager or its affiliates and receives compensation for his or her services, including services performed on our behalf, from such entities. See Item 7. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” of this Form 10 for a discussion of fees paid to the Manager and the Asset Manager.

Compensation of our Independent Directors

We have adopted a director compensation and stock ownership policy which sets forth the compensation we pay to our Independent Directors. Effective as of 2017, we pay our Independent Directors or their nominees for their service as our directors an annual retainer of $55,000, payable in arrears in equal quarterly installments. We also pay each Independent Director a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of our board of directors (or committees of our board of directors) attended, provided that an Independent Director will not receive separate meeting fees for attending committee meetings held on the same day that the Independent Director received a fee for attending a meeting of our board of directors. In addition, we pay the chairperson of each of our Independent Directors Committee (our Lead Independent Director), Audit Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee an annual stipend of $5,000. The Independent Director serving as board observer on the board of managers of the Manager also receives an annual stipend of $5,000, and a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the board of managers of the Manager attended. We also reimburse our Independent Directors for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors and otherwise performing their duties as directors.

The annual stipends and meeting attendance fees payable to our Independent Directors described above are paid in the form of shares of our common stock with a value equal to the amount of such fees and stipends, provided that an Independent Director may elect to receive up to 30% of such compensation in the form of cash. In order for an Independent Director to elect to receive such compensation in the form of a mixture of shares of our common stock and cash, the Independent Director must maintain the minimum stock retention limit established by our board of directors from time to time.

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

The following describes certain transactions and relationships involving us, our directors, our Manager and Asset Manager and affiliates thereof. See also Note 3 (Related-Party Transactions) to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10.

Ownership Interests

Amy L. Tait, one of our founders and our Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Investment Officer, her spouse, and a family limited liability company for the family of the late Norman Leenhouts, one of our founders who recently passed away, collectively own, directly and indirectly, 240,411 shares, or approximately 1.47%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. See Item 4. “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” of this Form 10 for information regarding the shares of our common stock owned, individually and in the aggregate, by our directors and officers.

In June 2015, Trident BRE, an affiliate of Stone Point acquired through an equity investment an approximately 45.6% equity ownership interest in the Manager. As of March 31, 2017, the Manager is owned (i) approximately 45.20% by Trident BRE, (ii) approximately 45.20% by Ms. Tait and an investment entity for the families of Ms. Tait and Mr. Leenhouts, and (iii) approximately 9.59% by employees of the Manager. In June 2015, in connection with Trident BRE’s investment in the Manager, (i) we acquired 100,000 Convertible Preferred BRE Units, valued at $100 per Convertible Preferred BRE Unit ($10,000,000 in the aggregate), in exchange for the issuance to the Manager of 138,889 shares of our common stock, valued at $72.00 per share, and (ii) the Manager purchased 510,416 shares of our common stock, valued at $72.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $36,749,952. As of March 31, 2017, the Manager owned 625,000, or approximately 3.83%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

The Convertible Preferred BRE Units we hold are entitled to distributions equal to a cumulative 7.0% annual preferred return, payable prior to distributions that may be paid to the holders of common membership units of the Manager, which preferred return increases annually by 0.25%. The Convertible Preferred BRE Units are convertible, in whole and not in part, into common membership units of the Manager during the period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The Convertible Preferred BRE Units are non-voting, provided that the holders of the Convertible Preferred BRE Units have the right to approve, voting as a class, any amendment to the limited liability company agreement of the Manager which would materially and adversely affect the rights of the Convertible Preferred BRE Units or would create a series or type of membership interests senior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred BRE Units. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we may not transfer the Convertible Preferred BRE Units without the prior approval of the board of managers of the Manager.

Our Relationship with the Asset Manager

The Asset Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager. Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager manages our day-to-day operations and is responsible for, among other things, our acquisition, disposition and financing activities and providing support to our Independent Directors in connection with their valuation functions and other duties. Pursuant to the subscription agreement executed by each of our stockholders, our stockholders have granted an irrevocable proxy to our Chief Financial Officer or Assistant Secretary to elect two individuals nominated by the Asset Manager for election to our board of directors. Currently, the two directors nominated by the Asset Manager are Ms. Tait and Mr. Khan.

Any property acquisitions or dispositions which do not satisfy the foregoing criteria require the prior approval of the Independent Directors Committee.

The above description is provided to illustrate the material functions that the Asset Manager performs for us and is not intended to include all of the services that may be provided to us by the Asset Manager, its affiliates or third parties.

Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement, we pay the Asset Manager asset management fees, acquisition fees, disposition fees and marketing fees and reimburse the Asset Manager for certain expenses, as described below under “– Fees and Expense Reimbursements Paid to our Asset Manager.

The Asset Management Agreement’s current term, as renewed by the Independent Directors Committee, continues until December 31, 2018. Commencing on January 1, 2019, the Asset Management Agreement will automatically renew for successive additional one-year terms, with each such renewal term commencing on January 1st and ending on December 31st of the fiscal year of each renewal term, unless terminated by us or the Asset Manager pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement (as described below).

The Asset Management Agreement may be terminated:

 

    immediately by the Independent Directors for “Cause” (as defined below);

 

    by the Independent Directors, upon written notice to the Asset Manager, within 30 days following a Change in Control (as defined below);

 

    by us, commencing on January 1, 2019, by providing the Asset Manager with written notice of termination not less than one year prior to January 1st of any renewal term, to be effective as of such January 1st; and

 

    by the Asset Manager at any time upon one year’s prior written notice.

“Cause” is defined by the Asset Management Agreement as (i) fraud, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty by the Asset Manager, (ii) a material breach of the Asset Management Agreement which remains uncured with 30 days of notice thereof, or (iii) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency of the Asset Manager. “Change of Control” is defined by the Asset Management Agreement as the failure of (i) Ms. Tait and certain entities affiliated with Ms. Tait and other members of our management and their affiliates, (ii) Trident BRE and its affiliates, and (iii) employees of the Manager to collectively own, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding membership interests of the Manager.

In addition, upon

 

73


Table of Contents

termination of the Asset Management Agreement, we will pay to the Asset Manager any accrued and unpaid expense reimbursements to which the Asset Manager is entitled and except in the case of a termination by the Independent Directors for Cause, any asset management fees which had been deferred pursuant to the terms of the Asset Management Agreement and any accrued interest thereon. In the event of the termination of the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager is required to cooperate with us and take prompt action in accordance with the Asset Management Agreement to assist in making an orderly transition of the advisory function.

Fees Paid to our Asset Manager

Pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement, we pay the Asset Manager the fees described below.

 

    We pay the Asset Manager an asset management fee, payable quarterly in advance, equal to 0.25% of the aggregate Determined Share Value as of the last day of the preceding calendar quarter, on a fully diluted basis as if all membership units in the Operating Company had been converted into shares of Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For the period from December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2017, the asset management fee payment for any quarter will be deferred, in whole or in part, if at any time during a rolling 12-month period cumulative distributions to our stockholders are below $3.50 per share. Any deferred asset management fees will be deferred indefinitely, will accrue interest at the rate of 7% per annum until paid and will be paid only from “available cash” (as defined below) after our cumulative distributions from inception equal to $3.50 per share annually have been paid. “Available cash” includes working capital and cash flow from operations plus proceeds from debt and equity financings and property sales, provided that such payments or transactions would not result in us exceeding our Leverage Policy as established by the Independent Directors Committee. No asset management fees have been deferred to date. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid our Asset Manager asset management fees of approximately $11 million.

 

    We pay the Asset Manager an acquisition fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase price paid for each property we acquire (including properties contributed in exchange for membership units in the Operating Company); provided, however, that in the event that our acquisition of a property requires a new lease (as opposed to taking an assignment of an existing lease), such as in the case of a sale-leaseback transaction, the Asset Manager is entitled to an acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price as a result of the additional leasing services required. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid our Asset Manager aggregate acquisition fees of approximately $8.1 million, which is comprised of base acquisition fees of approximately $5.2 million and approximately $2.9 million in additional fees for sale-leasebacks and the additional leasing services provided in those transactions.

 

    We pay the Asset Manager a disposition fee equal to 1% of the gross sale price for each property we dispose of, whether or not a broker is engaged to buy or sell the property on behalf of the Operating Company. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid our Asset Manager disposition fees of approximately $0.13 million.

 

    We pay the Asset Manager a marketing fee equal to 0.5% of all contributions of cash or property to our company or the Operating Company (excluding reinvestments of distributions pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan), as compensation for its internal and third party offering and marketing costs and expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we paid our Asset Manager marketing fees of approximately $1.3 million.

 

    In certain circumstances, upon the termination of the Asset Management Agreement, we will pay the Asset Manager a termination fee, as described above under “ Asset Management Agreement.”

with the Manager and Asset Manager and the other terms of our agreements with the Manager and Asset Manager, which were not determined by arm’s-length negotiations, the allocation of investment opportunities between us and the Manager and Asset Manager and their affiliates, and other situations in which our interests may differ from those of our Manager or Asset Manager or their affiliates.

In addition, if the Asset Manager or any of its affiliates (including the Manager) is presented with a potential investment opportunity that would be suitable for another investment program which the Asset Manager or its affiliates advises or manages, the investment opportunity will first be offered to us, provided that we have adequate funds available for the investment. The foregoing obligations of the Asset Manager will terminates if we terminate the Asset Management Agreement.

Independent Directors

In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest in our operations, the Articles of Incorporation require that a majority of our directors be Independent Directors. In addition, the Articles of Incorporation require that so long as we are externally advised by the Asset Manager, our board of directors will maintain an Independent Directors Committee comprised entirely of our Independent Directors.

The Independent Directors Committee may act on any matter (i) with respect to which it is determined that the exercise of independent judgment by our directors which are not Independent Directors or the Asset Manager or its affiliates could reasonably be compromised, (ii) with respect to which the Articles of Incorporation require the action of the Independent Directors Committee or (iii) which is set forth in the written charter of the Independent Directors Committee. The Independent Directors Committee, however, may not take any action which, under Maryland law, must be taken by our entire board of directors or which is otherwise not within their authority. The Independent Directors Committee is authorized to retain their own legal and financial advisors. Among the matters we expect the Independent Directors Committee to act upon include:

 

    approving the terms of the Asset Management Agreement and Property Management Agreement and any amendments thereto;

 

    approving the Manager’s or Asset Manager’s independent pursuit of a real estate investment opportunity, for its own account or for the account of one of its affiliates, that falls within our then-current Investment Policy and Property Selection Criteria;

 

    reviewing all conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with any of our directors or officers, the Manager, Asset Manager or any of their affiliates; and

 

    reviewing our total fees, expenses, assets, revenues, and availability of funds for distribution at least annually or with sufficient frequency to determine that the expenses incurred are reasonable in light of our investment performance and that the assets, revenues, and funds available for distribution are in accordance with our policies.

Director Independence

For information relating to our Independent Directors, see Item 5. “Directors and Executive Officers – Our Board of Directors” of this Form 10.

Item 8. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters are generally covered by insurance or are subject to our right to be indemnified by our tenants that we include in our leases. Management is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

Market Information

There is no established public trading market for our shares of common stock and we do not expect a public trading market to develop. There are no issued or outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock. Each outstanding membership unit of the Operating Company is convertible into one share of our common stock, subject to certain conditions and limitations. As of March 31, 2017, there were 16,308,185 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and 1,426,909 noncontrolling membership units in the Operating Company issued and outstanding. We have not agreed to register for sale under the Securities Act any shares of our common stock. No shares of our common stock have been or are currently expected to be publicly offered by us.

Stockholders

As of March 31, 2017, there were 2,242 holders of shares of our common stock.

Distribution Information

Distributions are paid when and as declared by our board of directors. We commenced paying quarterly distributions in May 2008. We commenced paying monthly distributions in June 2014. Distribution payments are expected to be made approximately 15 days after the end of each month to stockholders of record on the record date, which is generally the next-to-the-last business day of the prior month. Subscribers making an investment at an end of month closing will begin to accrue dividends in the subsequent month and, if they are stockholders of record at the end of such month, they will receive initial distributions approximately 15 days after the subsequent month is complete.

We intend to make distributions sufficient to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes. Generally, income distributed as dividends will not be taxable to us under the Internal Revenue Code if we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. Dividends will be declared at the discretion of our board of directors, but will be guided, in substantial part, by a desire to cause us to comply with the REIT qualification requirements.

At its February 10, 2017 meeting, our board of directors declared monthly distributions of $0.415 per share of our common stock and unit of membership interest in the Operating Company to be paid by us to our stockholders and members of the Operating Company (other than us) of record prior to the end of February, March and April 2017:

None of the membership units in the Operating Company set forth in the table above were registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 506(c) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

In March 2012, the Asset Manager engaged Palladian Realty Capital LLC and BA Securities, LLC, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, to refer certain of their clients as potential investors in our common stock. In consideration for such investor referrals, the Asset Manager agreed to pay BA Securities, LLC a referral fee equal to 1% of the amount invested by any investor referred to us. The agreement between the Asset Manager, Palladian Realty Capital LLC, and BA Securities, LLC was terminated in April 2015. The Asset Manager paid BA Securities, LLC aggregate referral fees of approximately $0.28 million. We were not a party to the agreement and did not pay Palladian Realty Capital LLC or BA Securities, LLC any fees or other payments in connection with the agreement with the Asset Manager.

Senior Notes

In January 2017, we commenced a private offering of unsecured, fixed-rate, guaranteed senior promissory notes (“Senior Notes”). The initial offering was for up to $100 million in Senior Notes, however, based on oversubscriptions and market demand, we elected to upsize the offering and received commitments to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $150 million of the Senior Notes. In connection with the offering of the Senior Notes, on March 16, 2017, we and the Operating Company entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement with each of the purchasers of the Senior Notes. The closing of the issuance of the Senior Notes occurred on April 18, 2017. The Senior Notes were issued by the Operating Company and guaranteed by us and each of the Operating Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee our bank credit facility and term notes. The Senior Notes were issued at par, will bear interest at a rate of 4.84% per annum (priced at 240 basis points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury

yield at the time of pricing), and will have a 10-year maturity, maturing on April 18, 2027. J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as our joint placement agents.

The Senior Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. All of the Senior Notes were sold to persons who represented to us in writing that they qualified as an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Except as set forth above, we have not sold any securities which were not registered under the Securities Act during the previous three years.

Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to Be Registered.

The following is a summary of the rights and preferences of our capital stock. We encourage you to read carefully this entire Form 10, our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws and the relevant provisions of Maryland law for a more complete understanding of our capital stock. Copies of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws are filed as exhibits to this Form 10 and the following summary, to the extent it relates to those documents, is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

General

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 80,000,000 shares are designated as common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Our board of directors, with the approval of a majority of our entire board of directors and without any action by our stockholders, may amend our Articles of Incorporation from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of capital stock or the number of shares of capital stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue.

Common Stock

The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including election of our directors. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of our directors. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect our entire board of directors. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding class or series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to such distributions as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds and, upon liquidation, are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to our stockholders. Holders of shares of common stock will not have preemptive rights, which means that our stockholders will not have an automatic option to purchase any new shares that we issue. Holders of shares of our common stock may be entitled to exercise the rights of an objecting stockholder provided for under Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL, as discussed below under “Dissenting Stockholder Rights.” Stockholders are not liable for our acts or obligations due to their status as stockholders.

Our board of directors has authorized the issuance of shares of our capital stock without certificates. Shares of our common stock are held in “uncertificated” form, which eliminates the physical handling and safekeeping responsibilities inherent in owning transferable share certificates and eliminates the need to return a duly executed share certificate to effect a transfer. Information regarding restrictions on the transferability of our shares of common stock that, under Maryland law, would otherwise have been required to appear on our share certificates are instead furnished to our stockholders upon request and without charge. We maintain a stock ledger that contains the name and address of each stockholder and the number of shares that the stockholder holds.

Pursuant to limited liability company agreement of the Operating Company (the “operating agreement”), each outstanding membership unit of the Operating Company is convertible into one share of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the operating agreement. Holders of membership units may exchange all or any portion of their membership units for an equal number of shares of our common stock on a quarterly basis, provided that (i) no conversions will be permitted that would cause the number of aggregate membership units that have been converted, sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, subject to certain exclusions, to exceed ten percent of all the membership units outstanding, and (ii) the holder of the membership units to be converted satisfies the investor suitability standards established from time to time with respect to the ongoing private offering of shares of our common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock into other classes or series of stock. Prior to issuance of shares of each

class or series, our board of directors is required by the MGCL and by our Articles of Incorporation to set, subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock in our Articles of Incorporation, the terms, the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms and conditions of repurchase for each class or series. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of shares of common stock or preferred stock with terms or conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. Our board of directors has no present plans to issue preferred stock, but may do so at any time in the future without stockholder approval.

Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer of Shares of Capital Stock

For us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of our stock may be owned, directly or indirectly through the application of certain attribution rules under the Internal Revenue Code, by any five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include specified entities, during the last half of any taxable year. In addition, the outstanding shares of our stock must be owned by 100 or more persons independent of us and each other during at least 335 days of a 12-month taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year, excluding our first taxable year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT. In addition, we must meet requirements regarding the nature of our gross income to qualify as a REIT. One of these requirements is that at least 75% of our gross income for each calendar year must consist of rents from real property and income from other real property investments. Subject to special rules for leases to our TRS-lessees, the aggregate of the rents received by the Operating Company from any tenant will not qualify as rents from real property, which could result in our loss of REIT status, if we own, actually or constructively within the meaning of certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 10% or more of the ownership interests in that tenant. To assist us in preserving our status as a REIT, among other purposes, our Articles of Incorporation contain limitations on the ownership and transfer of shares of our stock which prohibit: (1) any person or entity from owning or acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 9.8% of the value of the aggregate of our then outstanding capital stock or more than 9.8% of the value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the aggregate of our then outstanding common stock and (2) any transfer of or other event or transaction with respect to shares of capital stock that would result in the beneficial ownership of our outstanding shares of capital stock by fewer than 100 persons. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation prohibit any transfer of, or other event with respect to, shares of our capital stock that (1) would result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) would cause us to own, actually or constructively, 9.8% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of our real property or the real property of the Operating Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Operating Company or (3) would otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the shares of our capital stock that, if transferred, would: (1) result in a violation of the 9.8% ownership limits described above; (2) result in us being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) cause us to own 9.9% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of our real property or the real property of the Operating Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Operating Company; or (4) otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT, will be transferred automatically to a trust effective on the day before the purported transfer of such shares of our capital stock. We will designate a trustee of the trust that will not be affiliated with us or the purported transferee or record holder. We will also name a charitable organization as beneficiary of the trust. The trustee will receive all distributions on the shares of our capital stock in the trust and will hold such distributions in trust for the benefit of the beneficiary. The trustee also will vote the shares of capital stock in the trust and, subject to Maryland law, will have the authority to rescind as void any vote cast by the intended transferee prior to our discovery that the shares have been transferred to the trust and to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the charitable beneficiary. However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee will not have the authority to rescind and recast the vote. The intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares of capital stock, unless, in the case of a transfer that would cause a violation of the 9.8% ownership

limits the transfer is exempted (prospectively or retroactively) by our board of directors from the ownership limits based upon receipt of information (including certain representations and undertakings from the intended transferee) that such transfer would not violate the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for our qualification as a REIT. If the transfer to the trust would not be effective for any reason to prevent a violation of the foregoing limitations on ownership and transfer, then the transfer of that number of shares that otherwise would cause the violation will be null and void, with the intended transferee acquiring no rights in such shares. In addition, our charter provides that any transfer of shares of our capital stock that would result in shares of our capital stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons will be null and void and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such shares of our capital stock.

Within 20 days of receiving notice from us that shares of our stock have been transferred to the trust, the trustee will sell the shares to a person designated by the trustee, whose ownership of the shares will not violate the above ownership limitations. Upon the sale, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee and to the charitable beneficiary as follows. The intended transferee will receive an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the price paid by the intended transferee for the shares or, if the intended transferee did not give value for the shares in connection with the event causing the shares to be held in the trust (e.g., a gift, devise or other similar transaction), the Determined Share Value of the shares on the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the trust and (2) the price received by the trustee from the sale or other disposition of the shares. Any net sale proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the intended transferee will be paid immediately to the charitable beneficiary. If, prior to our discovery that shares have been transferred to the trust, the shares are sold by the intended transferee, then (1) the shares will be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the trust and (2) to the extent that the intended transferee received an amount for the shares that exceeds the amount described above that such intended transferee was entitled to receive, such excess will be paid to the trustee upon demand.

In addition, shares of our stock held in the trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to us, or our designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (1) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in the transfer to the trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Determined Share Value at the time of the devise or gift) and (2) 95% of the Determined Share Value on the date we, or our designee, accept the offer. We will have the right to accept the offer until the trustee has sold the shares. Upon a sale to us, the interest of the charitable beneficiary in the shares sold will terminate and the trustee will distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the intended transferee.

Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire shares of our capital stock in violation of the foregoing restrictions or who owns shares of our capital stock that were transferred to any such trust is required to give immediate written notice to us or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, at least 15 days’ prior written notice. In both cases, such persons must provide to us such other information as we may request to determine the effect, if any, of such event on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions will continue to apply until our board of directors determines it is no longer in our best interest to attempt to, or to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance is no longer required in order for REIT qualification.

The ownership limits do not apply to a person or persons that our board of directors exempts (prospectively or retroactively) from the ownership limits upon appropriate assurances that our qualification as a REIT is not jeopardized. Any person who owns more than 5.0% (or such lower percentage as required under the Internal Revenue Code or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding shares of our capital stock during any taxable year will be asked to deliver a statement or affidavit setting forth the number of shares of our capital stock beneficially owned.

Distributions

Distributions are paid when and as declared by our board of directors. We paid distributions quarterly from May 2008 through May 2014 and, beginning in June 2014, we have paid distributions monthly. There is no

assurance that we will be able to continue to make distributions on a monthly basis or at all. Investors making an investment (either new or additional) at an end of month closing will begin to accrue dividends in the subsequent month. Distribution payments are expected to be made approximately 15 days after the end of each month to holders of record on the record date, generally, the next-to-the-last day of the prior month. We anticipate receipt of monthly distributions from the Operating Company to fund our distributions to stockholders, although such distributions cannot be guaranteed.

At its February 10, 2017 meeting, our board of directors declared monthly distributions of $0.415 per share of our common stock and unit of membership interest to be paid to our stockholders and members of the Operating Company (other than us) of record prior to the end of February, March and April 2017:

We intend to make distributions sufficient to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT for tax purposes. Generally, income distributed will not be taxable to us under the Internal Revenue Code if we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (computed without regard to the distributions paid deduction and excluding capital gain). Distributions will be authorized at the discretion of our board of directors, and declared by us, in accordance with our earnings, cash flow and general financial condition. Our board of directors’ discretion will be directed, in substantial part, by a desire to cause us to comply with the REIT requirements. We may borrow money, issue securities or sell assets in order to make distributions.

Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source, including loans, our Asset Manager’s deferral of fees and expense reimbursements and offering proceeds. If we pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, we will have fewer funds available for investments and our stockholders’ overall return on their investment in us will be reduced.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

Pursuant to our DRIP, our stockholders and holders of membership units in the Operating Company (other than us), may elect to have cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. Shares of our common stock acquired through our distribution reinvestment plan have the same rights and are subject to the same restrictions on transferability as all other shares of our common stock and are eligible for redemption pursuant to our share redemption program. Our distribution reinvestment plan is administered by the Asset Manager.

All of our stockholders and holders of membership units in the Operating Company are eligible to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan. We may elect to deny an investor participation in the distribution reinvestment plan if the investor resides in a jurisdiction or foreign country where, in our judgment, the burden or expense of compliance with applicable securities laws makes the investor’s participation impracticable or inadvisable. A stockholder or holder of membership units of the Operating Company may be required to cease participation in our distribution reinvestment plan if the investor no longer meets the suitability standards or cannot make the other investor representations set forth in the then-current subscription agreement with respect to our shares of common stock. Participants in the distribution reinvestment plan must agree to notify us promptly when they no longer meet these standards.

A stockholder or holder of membership units in the Operating Company may elect to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan by completing the appropriate portion of the subscription agreement or other approved enrollment form available from time to time from the Asset Manager. An investor’s participation in the

 

87


Table of Contents

distribution reinvestment plan will begin with the next distribution made after receipt of the investor’s enrollment form. Participants in our distribution reinvestment plan generally are required to have the full amount of their cash distributions with respect to all securities owned by them reinvested pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. However, the Asset Manager has the discretion, upon the request of a participant, to accommodate a participant’s request for less than all of the participant’s securities to be subject to participation in our distribution reinvestment plan. An investor may also change the number of shares participating in the dividend reinvestment at any time if the investor completes a new enrollment form or other form provided for that purpose.

Cash distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a per share price equal to 98% of the Determined Share Value as of the applicable distribution date. Fractional shares may be issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.

If an investor elects to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan and is subject to federal income taxation, the investor will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of our common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though the investor has elected not to receive the distributions used to purchase those shares of common stock in cash. We will withhold 28% of the amount of distributions or distributions paid if the investor fails to furnish a valid taxpayer identification number, fails to properly report distributions or fails to certify that the investor is not subject to withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax consequences of participating in our distribution reinvestment plan will vary depending upon each participant’s particular circumstances, and all participants are urged to consult their own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of participation.

Participation in our distribution reinvestment plan may be terminated by an investor at any time by providing us with written notice. For an investor’s termination to be effective for a particular distribution, we must have received a notice of termination at least 10 business days prior to the record date of the distribution period to which the distribution relates. Any transfer of an investor’s shares will effect a termination of the participation of those shares in the distribution reinvestment plan. We will terminate an investor’s participation to the extent that a reinvestment of an investor’s distributions in our shares would cause the investor to exceed the ownership limitations contained in our Articles of Incorporation.

We may amend our distribution reinvestment plan at any time upon written notice to each participant at least 10 days prior to the effective date of the amendment. We may terminate the distribution reinvestment plan upon written notice to each participant at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the termination.

Share Redemption Program

We have adopted a share redemption program to provide an opportunity for our stockholders to have shares of our common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to or at a discount from the current Determined Share Value in effect as of the date the shares are tendered for redemption. The share redemption program is administered by our board of directors and the Independent Directors Committee of our board of directors and is subject to such terms and conditions as our board and the Independent Directors Committee may establish from time to time.

No shares may be repurchased under our share redemption program until after the first anniversary of the date of purchase of such shares; provided, that when the shares tendered for redemption were received upon conversion of membership units of the Operating Company, the time period during which the stockholder requesting redemption held the converted membership units may be used to meet the one year minimum holding period. In the event of death or bankruptcy of a stockholder, or other exigent circumstances as approved by the Independent Directors Committee in its sole discretion, we may waive the one year minimum holding period for any number of shares. We are not obligated to repurchase shares of our common stock under the share

redemption program. Notwithstanding the procedures discussed below, our board of directors or Independent Directors Committee may, in its sole discretion, reject any share redemption request made by any stockholder at any time.

To the extent we determine to accept share redemption requests from our stockholders, repurchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to the share redemption plan will be on the last business day of each calendar quarter upon written request to us delivered at least 10 days prior to the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter. Shares held for more than 12 months, but less than 5 years, will be redeemed at a purchase price equal to 95% of the Determined Share Value in effect at the time the shares are tendered for redemption. Shares held for five years or more will be redeemed at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Determined Share Value in effect at the time the shares are tendered for redemption. The 5% discount applied to shares tendered for redemption that have been held for more than 12 months, but less than 5 years, will not apply if the share redemption request relates solely to a change in the form of share ownership and the stockholder will be, simultaneously with the redemption, investing in us, through a different form of share ownership, an amount equal to or greater than the amount redeemed, subject to all other restrictions, conditions and terms of the share redemption program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any stockholder may have up to 5% of their outstanding shares of common stock redeemed by us in any calendar year at a price equal to 100% of the Determined Share Value in effect at the time the shares are tendered for redemption, subject to the other terms and conditions of the share redemption program. If an individual stockholder is deceased, the deceased stockholder’s estate may request the redemption the shares held in the deceased stockholder’s individual capacity at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Determined Share Value in effect at the time the shares are tendered for redemption within one year of the death of the stockholder, subject to all other restrictions, conditions and terms of the share redemption program.

We limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program. The total number of shares redeemed in any quarter may not exceed (i) 1% of the total number of shares outstanding at the beginning of the applicable calendar year, plus (ii) 50% of the total number of any additional shares of our common stock issued during the prior calendar quarter pursuant to our DRIP, plus (iii) any additional number of shares the Independent Directors Committee elects to redeem in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Independent Directors Committee has approved an exception to certain of the limitations set forth in the share redemption program for stockholders holding shares in an individual retirement account (or other qualified retirement plan or account) who are required under the Internal Revenue Code to take mandatory distributions from all such accounts after reaching 70 12 years of age. For any investors who holds shares through a third-party custodian in a retirement account or plan, has held the shares for at least one year, has reached 70 12 years of age, and is subject to the mandatory withdrawal requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, we will redeem up to 5% of the stockholder’s share holdings at 100% of the Determined Share Value in effect as of the redemption date. The minimum required remaining investment restrictions will not apply to such mandatory withdrawals. Requests for redemptions in excess of the 5% limit will be subject to all of the terms of the share redemption program.

The limitations on redemptions established by the share redemption program, or the lack of funds legally available to fund redemptions, may prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any quarter. If any shares tendered for redemption in any calendar quarter cannot be redeemed at the end of such calendar quarter, the unredeemed shares will be given first priority for redemption in the following calendar quarter, with the purchase price for such shares being calculated based upon the Determined Share Value then in effect. A stockholder may cancel any redemption request within 10 business days prior to the end of the applicable calendar quarter.

Redemptions of shares pursuant to our share redemption program will only be made with funds legally available under Maryland law for redemption. Any redemption of shares under the share redemption program is subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and restrictions applicable to preserve our status as a REIT.

Our board of directors or the Independent Directors Committee may amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program at any time if they determine that the funds available to fund the share repurchase program are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension or termination of the share repurchase program is in the best interest of our stockholders.

Since our inception and through December 31, 2016, we have redeemed a total of 184,024 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share redemption program, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.2 million.

Stockholder Meetings

We will hold an annual meeting of our stockholders in accordance with Maryland law and our bylaws, on a specific date and time set by our board of directors. The next annual meeting is scheduled to be held in May 2017. Special meetings of stockholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of the directors, a majority of the independent directors, our chairman of the board, our chief executive officer, or our president and will be called by our secretary to act upon any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at the meeting.

The presence either in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting on any matter will constitute a quorum. Generally, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast is necessary to take stockholder action, except as provided in the following paragraph and except that the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required to elect a director.

Under the MGCL, stockholders are generally entitled to vote at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present on (1) the amendment of our Articles of Incorporation, (2) our dissolution, (3) our merger or consolidation, a statutory share exchange or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. Under the MGCL, these matters require the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast with respect to such matter. A Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast with respect to such matter, however our Articles of Incorporation do not so provide.

Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement which each of our stockholders signs in connection with purchasing shares of our common stock, each of our stockholders has granted an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to vote their shares of our common stock in favor of the two nominees to our board of directors proposed by the Asset Manager.

A special meeting of the stockholders will be called by us in the event that holders of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock have tendered their shares for redemption and we have not been able to redeem such shares within a rolling four-quarter period. At such special meeting, stockholders will consider whether to require our liquidation in an orderly fashion over the following five years. Holders of at least 66.6% of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote will be required for approval of such a liquidation.

Control Share Acquisitions

The MGCL provides that control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Shares of common stock owned by the acquirer, by officers or by employees who are directors of the corporation are not entitled to vote on the matter. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned by the acquirer or with respect to which the acquirer has the right

 

90


Table of Contents

to vote or to direct the voting of, other than solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting powers:

 

    one-tenth or more but less than one-third;

 

    one-third or more but less than a majority; or

 

    a majority or more of all voting power.

Control shares do not include shares of stock the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval or shares acquired directly from the corporation. Except as otherwise specified in the statute, a “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of issued and outstanding control shares. Once a person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition has undertaken to pay expenses and has satisfied other required conditions, the person may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares of stock. If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question at any stockholders meeting. If voting rights are not approved for the control shares at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an “acquiring person statement” for the control shares as required by the statute, the corporation may repurchase any or all of the control shares for their fair value, except for control shares for which voting rights have previously been approved. Fair value is to be determined for this purpose without regard to the absence of voting rights for the control shares, and is to be determined as of the date of the last control share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights for control shares are considered and not approved.

If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders’ meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares of stock as determined for purposes of these appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid in the control share acquisition. Some of the limitations and restrictions otherwise applicable to the exercise of dissenters’ rights do not apply in the context of a control share acquisition.

The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares of stock acquired in a merger or consolidation or on a stock exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws of the corporation. As permitted by the MGCL, we have provided in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws that the control share provisions of the MGCL will not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of our stock, but our board of directors retains the discretion to opt into these provisions in the future.

Business Combinations

Under the MGCL, business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or the interested stockholder’s affiliate are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. For this purpose, the term “business combinations” includes mergers, consolidations, share exchanges or, in circumstances specified in the MGCL, asset transfers and issuances or reclassifications of equity securities. An “interested stockholder” is defined for this purpose as: (1) any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock; or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation. A person is not an interested stockholder under the MGCL if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would become an interested stockholder. However, in approving the transaction, the board of directors may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of the approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors.

After the five-year prohibition, any such business combination between the corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the

 

91


Table of Contents

affirmative vote of at least: (1) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and (2) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares of stock held by the interested stockholder or its affiliate with whom the business combination is to be effected, or held by an affiliate or associate of the interested stockholder, voting together as a single voting group.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under the MGCL, for their shares of common stock in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares of common stock.

None of these provisions of the MGCL will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Pursuant to the business combination statute, pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, our board of directors has exempted any business combination involving us and any person. Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the super majority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any person. As a result, any person may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the super majority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.

Should our board of directors opt into the business combination statute in the future, it may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer.

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by a stockholder may be made only (1) pursuant to our notice of the meeting, (2) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (3) by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated or on any such other business and who has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws. With respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in our notice of the meeting may be brought before the meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to our board of directors at a special meeting may be made only (1) by or at the direction of our board of directors or (2) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with our bylaws for the purpose of electing directors, by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record both at the time of giving the advance notice required by our bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice provisions of our bylaws.

Subtitle 8

Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL (“Subtitle 8”), permits the board of directors of a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its charter or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors and notwithstanding any contrary provision in its charter or bylaws, to any or all of five provisions:

 

    a classified board of directors;

 

    a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;

 

    a requirement that the number of directors be fixed only by vote of the directors;

 

    a requirement that vacancies on the board of directors be filled only by the remaining directors and (if the board is classified) for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred; and

 

    a majority requirement for the calling of a stockholder-requested special meeting of stockholders.

 

92


Table of Contents

We have elected to provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors and for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred. We have also elected to provide that a special meeting of stockholders may only be called by our secretary upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting. Through provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, we vest in our board of directors the exclusive power to fix the number of directorships; provided that the number is not fewer than the minimum number required by the MGCL. We have not elected to be subject to the other provisions of Subtitle 8.

Dissenting Stockholder Rights

Pursuant to Title 3 Subtitle 2 of the MGCL, our stockholders have the right to demand and receive payment in cash of the fair value of their shares of our common stock in the event that we engage in certain transactions, including if (i) we consolidate or merge with another company, (ii) the objecting stockholder’s shares of our common stock are to be acquired in a share exchange, or (iii) we amend the Articles of Incorporation in a way which alters the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, of any of our outstanding stock and substantially adversely affects our stockholder’s rights.

A stockholder of a corporation who desires to receive payment of the fair value of the stockholder’s stock pursuant to Title 3 Subtitle 2 of the MGCL must, among other things:

 

    file a written objection to the proposed transaction with us at or before the stockholders’ meeting at which the transaction will be considered or, in the case of stockholder action to be taken by consent, within 10 days after we give the required notice of such action by written consent;

 

    not vote in favor of the transaction; and

 

    within 20 days after the transaction is complete, make a written demand on the successor company (as applicable based upon the transaction in question) for payment for the stockholder’s stock, stating the number and class of shares for which the stockholder demands payment.

A stockholder which fails to comply with the foregoing requirements will be bound by the terms of the applicable transaction. In order for our stockholders to perfect such stockholder’s right to dissent in the event of a qualifying transaction, such stockholder must carefully follow the procedure set forth in the applicable provisions of the MGCL. Any stockholder contemplating exercising its rights under Title 3 Subtitle 2 of the MGCL is urged to read carefully the provisions of the MGCL and consult with its own legal counsel before electing or attempting to exercise these rights.

A Maryland corporation’s charter may provide that the holders of its stock are not entitled to exercise the rights of an objecting stockholder under Title 3 Subtitle 2 of the MGCL. However, our Articles of Incorporation do not so provide.

Exclusive Jurisdiction for Certain Claims

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of our company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any of our directors or officers or employees to us or to our stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or employees that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Limitation of Liability

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty that is established by a final judgment and is material to the cause of action. The Articles of Incorporation contain a provision that eliminates such liability of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Indemnification

The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, which ours do not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

The Articles of Incorporation require us to, to the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time permits, indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:

 

    any present or former director or officer of our company who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity; or

 

    any individual who, while a director or officer of our company and at our request, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner, or trustee and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

The Articles of Incorporation, as permitted by the MGCL, further provide that we may indemnify any director or officer made a party to any proceeding by reason of his or her service in such capacity unless the following can be established:

 

    the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

 

    the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

    in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission as unlawful.

However, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by us or in our right, may not be made with respect to any proceeding in which a director has been found liable to our company.

The Articles of Incorporation provide, as permitted by the MGCL, that we may advance reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer who is party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon our receipt of:

 

    a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by us; and

 

    a written undertaking by the director or officer or on his or her behalf to repay the amount advanced to him or her if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct for indemnification by us was not met.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Our Articles of Incorporation also permit us to provide the same indemnification and advancement of expenses that we are permitted to provide to directors and officers to any person who served an employee or agent of our company or an employee or agent of the Asset Manager.

Indemnification may reduce the legal remedies available to us and our stockholders against the indemnified individuals. The general effect to our stockholders of any arrangement under which any of our controlling persons, directors or officers are insured or indemnified against liability is a potential reduction in distributions resulting from our payment of premiums associated with insurance policies we maintain or the cost of any indemnification for which we do not have adequate insurance.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements require that, subject to certain conditions, we indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all liabilities and expenses to which they may become subject by reason of their service as a director, officer, employee or agent of our company, and that we advance to each director and officer all related expenses incurred by each director or officer in defense of any claim or proceeding without any preliminary determination of the director’s or officer’s entitlement to indemnification; provided, that any amounts advanced will be refunded to us by the indemnified director or officer if it is ultimately determined that they did not meet the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification. The indemnification agreements also require that we maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering our directors and officers on terms at least as favorable as the policy coverage in place as of the date each indemnification agreement is entered into. Each indemnification agreement may only amended by the mutual written agreement of our company and the director or officer party thereto.

In addition to the indemnification agreements described above, we have also purchased and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering that insures both us and our directors and officers against exposure and liability normally insured against under such policies, including exposure to liabilities of the type addressed by the indemnity provisions described above.

Item 14. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

On June 23, 2016, we mutually agreed with Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) to the cessation of the client-auditor relationship of EY as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of June 23, 2016. The decision to terminate EY as our independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of our board of directors.

The report of EY, dated April 18, 2016, with respect to our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related notes thereto, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and through June 23, 2016, we had no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure with EY, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused EY to make reference thereto in EY’s reports on our consolidated financial statements. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and through June 23, 2016 there have been no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. We have provided EY with a copy of the disclosure under this Item 14 and have requested that EY furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements (the “EY Letter”). A copy of the EY Letter, dated April 24, 2017, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 10.

On June 23, 2016, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of our engagement of Deloitte, we did not consult with Deloitte regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv)) or a reportable event (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)). Prior to our engagement of Deloitte, Deloitte did not provide us with either written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc.

Rochester, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the information contained in the related financial statement schedule for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands)

December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014

1. Business Description

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company focuses on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties. The Company leases properties to retail, healthcare, industrial, and other commercial businesses under long-term lease agreements. Properties are generally leased on a triple-net basis such that tenants pay all operating expenses relating to the property, including, but not limited to, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs, during the lease term. As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned a diversified portfolio of 417 individual net leased commercial properties located in 37 states throughout the continental United States.

Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, or the Operating Company, is the entity through which the Company conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Company’s properties. At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company owned economic interests of 91.4%, 89.6% and 92.9%, respectively, in the Operating Company. The Company is also the sole managing member of the Operating Company. The remaining interests are held by members who acquired their interest by contributing property to the Operating Company in exchange for membership units of the Operating Company as described in Note 12.

The Company operates under the direction of its board of directors, which is responsible for the management and control of the Company’s affairs. The Company is externally managed and its board of directors has retained Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (BAM) to manage the day-to-day affairs and to implement the Company’s investment strategy, and the Company’s sponsor, Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (BRE), to provide certain property management services for the Company’s properties, subject to the board of directors’ direction, oversight, and approval. BAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BRE and all of the Company’s officers are employees of BRE. Accordingly, both BRE and BAM are related parties of the Company. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion over related parties and related party transactions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Corporation, the Operating Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned by the Operating Company, collectively the Company (the Company). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

To the extent the Corporation has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the variable interest entity (VIE) model, the Corporation evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model. The Corporation holds a 91.4% interest in the Operating Company and is the sole managing member which gives the Corporation exclusive and complete responsibility for the day-to-day management, authority to make decisions, and control of the Operating Company. Through consideration of new consolidation guidance effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2016, it has been concluded that the Operating Company is a VIE as the limited members in the Operating Company do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the Operating Company. However, as the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the Operating Company, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.

The portion of the Operating Company not owned by the Corporation is presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.

Basis of Accounting

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to the allocation of purchase price between investment in rental property and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the value of long-lived assets, the depreciable lives of rental property, the amortizable lives of intangible assets and liabilities, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of assumed debt and notes payables, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements and the determination of any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment in Rental Property

Rental property accounted for under operating leases are recorded at cost. Rental property accounted for under direct financing leases are recorded at its net investment (which at the inception of the lease generally represents the cost of the property).

Acquisitions of rental properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, are recorded at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As our acquisitions meet the definition of a business, acquisition expenses are recognized as an expense at the time of acquisition. The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income from the respective date of acquisition. The fair value of rental property acquired with in-place leases is allocated to tangible assets, consisting of land and land improvements, buildings, and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the value of in-place leases and acquired above-market and below-market leases. Estimated fair value determinations are based on management’s judgment, which considers various factors including real estate market conditions, industry conditions that the tenant operates in, and characteristics of the real estate and/or real estate appraisals.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The as-if-vacant value is then allocated to land and land improvements, buildings, and equipment based on comparable sales and other relevant information with respect to the property as estimated by management. Specifically, the “if vacant” value of the buildings and equipment was calculated using an income approach. Assumptions used in the income approach to value the buildings include: capitalization and discount rates, lease-up time, market rents, make ready costs, land value, and land improvement value.

The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases are the costs that the Company would have had to incur to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such costs include the fair value of leasing commissions and other operating costs that would have been incurred to lease the properties, had they been vacant, to their acquired occupancy level. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms of the respective leases to amortization expense.

Acquired above-market and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of fair market value lease rates at the time of acquisition for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases.

Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to amortization expense and the unamortized portion of above-market or below-market lease value is charged to rental income.

Management estimates the fair value of assumed mortgages and notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgages and notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the notes outstanding principal balance is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

Expenditures for significant betterments and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Construction and improvement costs incurred in connection with the development of new properties or the redevelopment of existing properties are capitalized. Real estate taxes, interest costs, and leasing and development costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized. Capitalization is based on qualified expenditures and interest rates. Capitalized real estate taxes, interest costs, and leasing and development costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the related assets. There was no capitalized interest or real estate taxes during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Real Estate Impairment Charges

The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. For purposes of evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the Company treats each individual property as an asset group. Such cash flows include factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group.

Inputs used in establishing fair value for real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The valuation of impaired assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. The Company may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized an impairment charge on real estate assets of $1,634. No impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The impairment charge is classified within earnings from operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The impairment indicator resulted from non-payment of past due rental amounts which led to concerns over the tenant’s future viability. In determining the fair value of the real estate assets at June 30, 2014, the date of measurement, the Company utilized a direct capitalization rate of 18% and a rental growth rate of 2%, both of which are Level 3 inputs.

Investment in Related Party

Investment in related party relates to a non-voting, preferred unit investment in BRE. Income on our investment is recognized based on the stated preferred rate of return. Such amounts are included as a component of other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Sales of Real Estate

Real estate sales are recognized whenever (1) a sale is consummated, (2) the buyer has demonstrated an adequate commitment to pay for the property, (3) our receivable is not subject to future subordination, and (4) we have transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and do not have continuing involvement. Unless all conditions are met, recognition of all or a portion of the profit is deferred. Commencing with the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that changed the accounting for discontinued operations such that only disposals of properties representing a strategic shift in operations are reported as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts would need to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results in order to meet the definition. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have property dispositions that qualified as discontinued operations.

Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are as follows:

 

Land improvements

     15 years  

Buildings and other improvements

     39 years  

Equipment

     7 years  

Depreciation expense incurred was $37,976, $25,038 and $17,576 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity at date of acquisition of three months or less, including money market funds. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates the carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgages and notes payable, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Revenue Recognition

At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, the Company assesses the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. A lease arrangement is classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership transfers to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term is greater than or equal to 75% of the underlying property’s estimated useful life, or (iv) the present value of the future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) is greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased property. If one or more of these criteria are met, and the minimum lease payments are determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement is generally accounted for as a direct financing lease.

Revenue recognition methods for operating leases and direct financing leases are described below:

Rental property accounted for under operating leases – Revenue is recognized as rents are earned on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. In most cases, revenue recognition under operating leases begin when the lessee takes possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased

asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. For leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as accrued rental income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rental property accounted for under direct financing leases – The Company utilizes the direct finance method of accounting to record direct financing lease income. For a lease accounted for as a direct financing lease, the net investment in the direct financing lease represents receivables for the sum of future minimum lease payments and the estimated residual value of the leased property, less the unamortized unearned income. Unearned income is deferred and amortized into income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the leases.

Rent Received in Advance, Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Rent received in advance represents tenant payments received prior to its contractual due date and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rents received in advance was $7,566 and $2,730 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Management periodically reviews the sufficiency of the allowance for doubtful accounts, taking into consideration its historical losses and existing economic conditions, and makes adjustments to the allowance as it considers necessary. Uncollected tenant receivables are written off against the allowance when all possible means of collection have been exhausted. The following table summarizes the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Notes Receivable

Balances in notes receivable represent interest only loans to third parties secured by the real estate assets of the obligors. A related party of the Company, BRE performs property management functions for each of the loan holders. Management evaluates the creditworthiness of each borrower prior to entering into loan agreements. Further, management periodically reviews the notes receivable for collectability based on historical experience, continued review of creditworthiness, and other relevant factors. Based on these factors, management considers all notes receivable to be fully collectible at December 31, 2016. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful notes receivable has been reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest income on the notes receivable is recognized as it is earned in accordance with the applicable loan agreement and is included as a component of other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Tenant and Capital Reserves

The terms of one of the Company’s operating leases requires the establishment of a tenant and capital reserve. Under the tenant reserve requirement, amounts are deposited into an escrow account, to be used to fund certain costs to maintain the rental property. The balance of the tenant reserve was $480 and $437 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Under the capital reserve lease requirement, the tenant is required to pay additional amounts to fund capital improvements, replacements, and repairs made to the property. The balance of the capital reserve was $287 and $238 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The company has no obligation to fund capital improvements beyond these reserve balances.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2015-03 during the year ended December 31, 2016, on a retrospective basis.

As a result of the implementation of ASU 2015-03, on a retrospective basis, the Company reclassified debt issuance costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2015 as follows:

 

(in thousands)    2015

Debt issuance costs – Unsecured revolver – Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s unsecured revolver have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the loan commitment using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In accordance with ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line of Credit Arrangements, the Company has recorded debt issuance costs associated with the unsecured revolver as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $2,386 and $2,366 of debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $1,940 and $1,476, respectively.

Debt issuance costs – Mortgage and notes payable – Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s mortgages and notes payable have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the respective loan commitment using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method and are recorded in Mortgage and notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $1,291 and $1,145 of debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $453 and $505, respectively.

Debt issuance costs – Unsecured term notes – Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s unsecured term notes have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the respective loan commitment using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method and are recorded in Unsecured term notes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $3,641 and $4,083 of debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization of $1,532 and $1,186, respectively.

Leasing Fees

Leasing fees represent costs incurred to lease properties to tenants and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to which they relate, which range from 10 to 29 years.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage risks related to interest rate movements. The interest rate swap agreements, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, are reported at fair value. The gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge initially is included as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest payments on the related debt is incurred and as the swap net settlements occur. If and when there is ineffectiveness realized on a swap agreement, the Company recognizes the ineffectiveness as a component of interest expense in the period incurred. The Company

documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of and during the term of each hedge. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represents the membership interests held in the Operating Company of 8.6%, 10.4% and 7.1% at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are accounted for as a separate component of equity.

The Company periodically adjusts the carrying value of non-controlling interests to reflect its share of the book value of the Operating Company. Such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reallocation of non-controlling interests in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

Subscriptions Receivable

The subscriptions receivable is related to shares issued to the Company’s shareholders for which the proceeds have not yet been received solely due to the fact of timing of transfers from the escrow agent holding the funds. The receivables have been fully collected during the following month after the balance sheet date of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Reporting

The Company currently operates in a single reportable segment, which includes the acquisition, leasing, and ownership of net leased properties. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company’s executive committee, assesses, measures and reviews the operating and financial results at the consolidated level for the entire portfolio and, therefore, each property or property type is not considered an individual operating segment. The Company does not evaluate the results of operations based on geography, size, or type.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 are marketable, available-for-sale equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Instruments included in this category are derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs (such as yield curves and credit spreads) that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 includes assets and liabilities whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Interest rate swaps are derivative instruments that have no quoted readily available Level 1 inputs, and therefore are measured at fair value using inputs that are directly observable in active markets and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, using an income approach. Specifically, the fair value of the interest rate swaps are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market data including forward yields curves and implied volatilities to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the interest rate swaps are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its interest rate swaps utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its interest rate swap valuations on their entirety are appropriately classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has estimated that the carrying amount reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivables, notes receivable, and accounts payable and other liabilities approximates their fair values due to their short term nature.

The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current LIBOR, US treasury obligation interest rates and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect our judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation. The fair value of the Company’s mortgage and notes payable, unsecured term notes, and unsecured revolver are estimated to be $873,026 and $667,046 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, as compared to the carrying amount of such debt of $869,524 and $665,102 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. As disclosed under the Real Estate Impairment Charges section of Note 2, the Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements for the year ended December 31, 2014 consisted of the fair value of impaired real estate assets that were determined using Level 3 inputs.

Income Taxes

The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Company believes it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intends to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that it will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent its dividends paid equals or exceeds its adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code.

The Company is subject to state and local income or franchise taxes in certain states in which some of its properties are located and records these taxes as state and franchise tax expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income when due.

The Company is required to file income tax returns with federal and various state taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s federal and state income tax returns remain subject to examination by the respective taxing authorities for the 2013 through 2016 tax years.

The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. In making this assessment, the Company must assume that the taxing authority will examine the income tax position and have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may or may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.

The Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 or for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, which include the tax status of the Company.

Interest and penalties related to income taxes are charged to tax expense during the year in which they are incurred.

Taxes Collected From Tenants and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

Substantially all of the Company’s leases are triple-net, which provide that the lessees are responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses, including property taxes, maintenance and insurance. The Company records such expenses on a net basis. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s tenants, pursuant to their lease obligations, have made direct payment for property taxes to the taxing authorities of approximately $16,200, $12,000, and $8,600, respectively.

In some situations, the Company may collect property taxes from its tenants and remit those taxes to governmental authorities. Taxes collected from tenants and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a gross basis, where revenue of $2,004, $1,994 and $1,071 is included in operating expense reimbursed from tenants and expense of $1,933, $1,987, and $1,175 is included in property operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires that the acquirer in a business combination to recognize in the period any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period rather than retrospectively accounting for those adjustments. The Company adopted ASU 2015-16 effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which makes certain changes to both the variable interest model and the voting model, including changes to (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2016 (see Principals of Consolidation elsewhere within Note 2).

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires a company’s management to assess the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued) and provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which changes the definition of a business to exclude acquisitions where substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. Once adopted, the Company expects that most of its acquisitions will be considered asset acquisitions. While there are various differences between accounting for an asset acquisition and a business combination, the Company expects that the largest impact will be the capitalization of acquisition expenses for asset acquisitions which are expensed for business combinations. ASU 2017-01 is effective, on a prospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. Currently, there is no specific guidance to address how to classify or present these changes. ASU 2016-18 is effective, on a retrospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides classification guidance for eight specific topics including debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-18 is effective, on a prospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and footnote disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a

corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees will be permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. Under the new pronouncement, lessor accounting will be largely unchanged from existing GAAP. In adopting the new guidance, companies are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The amendments are effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not have any material leases where we are the lessee and therefore, while the Company anticipates additional disclosure, it does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will, however, continue to evaluate this assessment until the guidance becomes effective.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for all entities by one year. With the deferral, ASU 2014-09 is effective January 1, 2018, with early application permitted beginning January 1, 2017. While the Company anticipates additional disclosure, it does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material effect on the amount or timing of revenue recognized in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to adopt the guidance using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2018. The Company will, however, continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance until it becomes effective.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. Specifically, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 5-02.30 of Regulation S-X, the Company has determined that its subscriptions receivables should be recorded as a deduction from stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified prior year subscriptions receivables amounts and activity to conform with the SEC reporting requirements. Also, we have separately presented certain amounts within our Consolidated Balance sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation.

3. Related-Party Transactions

Property Management Agreement

The Corporation and the Operating Company have entered into a property management agreement (the Property Management Agreement) with BRE, a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation have either a direct or indirect ownership interest. Under the terms of the Property Management Agreement, BRE manages and coordinates certain aspects of the leasing of the Corporation’s rental property.

In exchange for services provided under the Property Management Agreement, BRE is compensated as follows:

 

  (a) 3% of gross rentals collected each month from the rental property for property management services (other than one property which has a separate agreement for 5% of gross rentals); and

 

  (b) Re-leasing fees for existing rental property equal to one month rent for a new lease with an existing tenant and two months’ rent for a new lease with a new tenant.

 

F-17


Table of Contents
Index to Financial Statements

In June 2015, the Property Management Agreement was amended to exclude the fees related to the coordination of acquisitions and sales of the Corporation’s rental property. These fees, as detailed below, and related activities were amended to be included within the Asset Management Agreement.

 

  (a) 1% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired (other than acquisitions described in (b) below), including any property contributed in exchange for membership interests in the Operating Company;

 

  (b) 2% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired in the event that the acquisition of a rental property requires a new lease (as opposed to the assumption of an existing lease), such as a sale/leaseback transaction; and

 

  (c) 1% of the gross sale price received for each rental property disposition.

In addition, BRE may also provide, but is not obligated to provide, short-term financing to, or guarantees for, the Operating Company. In exchange for these services, BRE is entitled to receive an interest rate of up to the prime rate plus 1.00% in exchange for any advances to the Operating Company, and 0.05% for guaranteeing recourse carve-outs on financing arrangements. No such advances or guarantees were made during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

The initial term of the Property Management Agreement is effective through December 31, 2017, after which it automatically renews for successive one-year periods, unless either party provides written notice of termination in accordance with the Property Management Agreement. The Corporation’s Independent Directors Committee (IDC) has approved the renewal of the agreement through December 31, 2018. If the Corporation terminates the agreement prior to any renewal term or the Corporation’s IDC terminates the agreement within 30 days following a change in control of BRE as defined, the Corporation will be subject to a termination fee equal to three times the Management Fees, as defined in the Property Management Agreement, to which BRE was entitled during the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of such termination. Although not terminable as of December 31, 2016, if the Property Management Agreement had been terminated at December 31, 2016 subject to the conditions noted above, the termination fee would have been $11,818.

Asset Management Agreement

The Corporation and the Operating Company have entered into an asset management agreement (the Asset Management Agreement) with Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (BAM), a single member LLC with BRE as the single member, and therefore a related party in which certain directors of the Company have an indirect ownership interest. Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, BAM is responsible for, among other things, the Corporation’s acquisition, initial leasing, and disposition strategies, financing activities, and providing support to the Corporation’s IDC for its valuation functions and other duties. BAM also designates two individuals to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, BAM receives an annual asset management fee equal to 1% of the aggregate value of common stock, based on the per share value as determined by the Corporation’s IDC each quarter, on a fully diluted basis as if all interests in the Operating Company had been converted into shares of common stock. Through December 31, 2017, compensation to BAM for any quarter will be deferred in whole or in part at any time during a rolling 12-month period when cumulative distributions are below $3.50 per share. Any deferred compensation under the Asset Management Agreement will accrue interest at the rate of 7% per annum until paid and will be paid from available funds after cumulative 12-month distributions equal $3.50. No compensation to BAM was deferred during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. In addition, the Company pays BAM, or its designee, 0.5% of the proceeds from future equity closings as reimbursement for offering, marketing, and brokerage expenses. BAM has the responsibility to cover offering, marketing, and brokerage expenses associated with investor related matters of the Corporation and Operating Company.

In June 2015, the Asset Management Agreement was amended to include the following fees paid to BAM for services provided under the Agreement:

 

  (a) 1% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired (other than acquisitions described in (b) below), including any property contributed in exchange for membership interests in the Operating Company;

 

  (b) 2% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired in the event that the acquisition of a rental property requires a new lease (as opposed to the assumption of an existing lease), such as a sale/leaseback transaction; and

 

  (c) 1% of the gross sale price received for each rental property disposition.

The initial term of the Asset Management Agreement is effective through December 31, 2017, after which it automatically renews for successive one year periods, unless either party provides written notice of termination in accordance with the Asset Management Agreement. The Corporation’s Independent Director Committee (IDC) has approved the renewal of the agreement through December 31, 2018. If the Company terminates the agreement prior to any renewal term or the Corporation’s IDC terminates the agreement within thirty days following a change in control of BAM as defined, the Corporation will be subject to a termination fee equal to three times the Asset Management Fees, as defined, to which BAM was entitled during the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of such termination. Although not terminable as of December 31, 2016, if the Asset Management Agreement had been terminated at December 31, 2016 subject to the conditions noted above, the termination fee would have been $32,864.

Management fee expenses relating to both the Property Management Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement totaled $14,894, $9,739 and $6,344 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in management expenses are $364 and $281 of unpaid fees recorded in due to related parties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Fees paid to related parties under the agreements also include acquisition fees of $5,203, $5,501 and $2,465 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in acquisition expenses. Leasing fees paid to related parties totaled $2,932, $4,411 and $1,765 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included as intangible assets and amortized over the terms of the leases to which they relate (see Note 5). Sales fees paid to related parties totaled $133, $179 and $302 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and are included as a reduction of gain on sale of real estate. Fees paid to related parties under the Asset Management Agreement also include a marketing fee of $1,310, $1,796 and $463 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. All fees related to the Property Management Agreement and the Asset Management Agreement are paid for in cash within our normal payment cycle for vendors.

Total management fees incurred for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

Investment in Related Party

On June 30, 2015, the Company issued 139 shares with a value of $10,000 to BRE in exchange for 100 non-voting convertible preferred units, which represented a 6.4% ownership interest in BRE at the time of the transaction. The Company has the right to convert the preferred units to non-voting common units between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amount of the investment was $10,000. There is no market for the preferred units of BRE and, accordingly, no quoted market price is available. The preferred units provide a stated preferred return of 7.0% with 0.25% increases every June 30th. Preferred distributions related to the investment in BRE amounted to $713 and $350 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Legal Services

The Company retains the legal services of Tones Vaisey, PLLC (TV), a related party. One minority owner/partner of TV is an immediate family member to the management of the Company and an indirect minority owner of BRE. Beginning January 2017, the family member is no longer an owner/partner of TV and therefore, prospectively, will no longer be deemed a related party. Legal services obtained are mainly for acquisition and disposition of real estate related matters, as well as general counsel regarding property management and financing. The Company’s IDC has reviewed the billings and other aspects of the relationship between TV and the Company. The Company utilizes the services of other outside legal counsel as well. Legal fees incurred from TV amounted to $3,075, $3,181 and $1,942 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in these expenses are $350, $566 and $570 of unpaid fees recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These fees are paid for in cash within our normal payment cycle for vendor payments.

6. Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements

The Company generally leases its investment rental property to established tenants. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 403 real estate properties which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases and 14 that have been classified as direct financing leases. Of the 14 leases classified as direct financing leases, five include land portions which are accounted for as operating leases. Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years and provide for minimum rentals. In addition, the leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the consumer price index, and/or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, the tenant is also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building, and maintain property and liability insurance coverage. The leases also typically provide one or more multi-year renewal options subject to generally the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.

Unsecured Credit Agreement with M&T and Regions

In October 2012, the Operating Company entered into a three year unsecured Credit Agreement (the Agreement) with Manufacturers & Traders Trust Co. (M&T Bank) and Regions Bank as Joint Lead Arrangers and three other participating banks. In June 2014, the unsecured Credit Agreement was amended and restated with M&T Bank and Regions Bank as Joint Lead Arrangers and four other participating banks. The amended and restated agreement extended the initial maturity date to June 27, 2017, expanded the borrowing capacity and amended the interest rate terms. The amended and restated Agreement was for a total of $215,000 with a $50,000 term note and a revolving credit facility under which the Operating Company could borrow up to $165,000. Borrowings under the amended and restated Agreement bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% based on the Company’s overall leverage ratio. In March 2016, the Operating Company was assigned an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 which redefined the margin over LIBOR to 1.45%, effective April 1, 2016. Under the amended and restated Agreement, total aggregated borrowings cannot exceed 60.0% of the Borrowing Base value as defined by the Agreement. The Company is subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements as defined by the amended and restated agreement. An annual fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility is due on a quarterly basis at a rate tied to the margin and the credit rating (the rate was 0.30% at December 31, 2016 and 0.25% at December 31, 2015 and 2014). The Company may extend the facility twice, for one year, subject to compliance with all covenants and the payment of 0.125% fee.

In December 2014, the Company exercised an accordion feature to the unsecured Credit Agreement. The accordion feature expanded the borrowing capacity to a total of $400,000 with an additional $50,000 term note ($100,000 total) and a revolving credit facility under which the Operating Company may borrow up to $300,000. All other terms to the unsecured Credit Agreement remained the same as described above in the June 2014 amendment and restatement.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had $100,000 outstanding on term notes and $102,000 and $0 on the revolving credit facility, respectively. Based on bank covenants, $273,200 of the revolving credit facility’s

The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants for all periods presented.

Unsecured Credit Agreement with Regions Bank

In May 2013, the Operating Company entered into a three year unsecured Credit Agreement with Regions Bank. The Agreement was set to expire May 24, 2016 and was for a total of $50,000. In October 2013, the unsecured credit agreement with Regions Bank was amended and restated with Regions Bank as Lead Arranger and four other participating banks. The amended and restated agreement, which had an initial maturity date of October 11, 2016, provides for three two-year extension options at the election of the Company. The agreement was for a total of $150,000. Borrowings under the Agreement and the amended and restated agreement bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% based on the Company’s overall leverage ratio. Although borrowings under the Agreement and the amended and restated agreement are unsecured, they are supported by certain of the Company’s unsecured properties and assets, defined as the Borrowing Base. Total aggregate borrowings under the term note cannot exceed 60.0% of the Borrowing Base value as defined by the agreement. The Company may extend the facility twice, for two years, subject to compliance with all covenants and the payment of 0.25% fee. In January 2014, the Operating Company expanded the total borrowings under the amended and restated unsecured credit agreement by $35,000 through the addition of a lender to the syndicated loan group. The additional borrowings are subject to the same terms and conditions as described above in the October 2013 amendment and restatement. During 2016, the Company utilized an extension option, extending the maturity date to October 11, 2018.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, borrowings under the unsecured Credit Agreement with Regions Bank amounted to $185,000. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the one-month LIBOR was 0.62% and 0.24%, respectively. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants for all periods presented.

Unsecured Term Loan Agreement with SunTrust Bank

In November 2015, the Company entered into a three year unsecured Term Loan Agreement with SunTrust Bank as Administrative Agent, SunTrust Bank, JP Morgan Chase and M&T Bank as Joint Lead Arrangers, and five other participating banks. The Agreement has an initial maturity date of February 2019 and provides for two one-year extension options, at the election of the Company, subject to compliance with all covenants and the payment of a 0.10% fee. The Agreement is for a total of $375,000 which is made up of an original funding amounting to $200,000 and a delayed draw feature up to $175,000. Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at variable rates based on the one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.65% to 2.15%. In March 2016, the Operating Company was assigned an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 which redefined the margin over LIBOR to 1.40%, effective April 1, 2016. Although borrowings under the agreement are unsecured, they are supported by certain of the Company’s unsecured properties and assets, defined as the Borrowing Base. Total aggregate borrowings cannot exceed 60.0% of the Borrowing Base value as defined by the agreement. An annual fee of 0.25% of the unused portion of the delayed draw feature is due on a quarterly basis.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, borrowings under the unsecured Term Loan Agreement with SunTrust Bank amounted to $375,000 and $280,000 respectively. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the one-month LIBOR was 0.62% and 0.24%, respectively. The Company believes it was in compliance with all financial covenants for all periods presented.

11. Interest Rate Swaps

Interest rate swaps were entered into with certain financial institutions in order to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability over the term of the related agreements. The interest rate swaps are considered cash flow hedges. In order to reduce counterparty concentration risk, the Company has a diversification policy for institutions that serve as swap counterparties. Under these agreements, the Company receives monthly payments from the counterparties on these interest rate swaps equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. Certain interest rate swaps amortize on a monthly basis. In turn, the Company pays the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that the Company pays a fixed interest rate on its variable rate borrowings.

Amounts related to the interest rate swaps expected to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense during 2017 are estimated to be $7,078. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties of the swaps. The Company minimizes this risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are based on a valuation of the discounted future payments as provided by the counterparties, as disclosed in Note 2.

12. Non-Controlling Interests

Under the company’s UPREIT structure entities and individuals can contribute their properties in exchange for membership interests in the Operating Company. Properties contributed as part of UPREIT transactions were valued at $7,190 and $57,583 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, which represents the estimated fair value of the properties contributed, less any assumed debt. There were no properties contributed as part of UPREIT transactions for the year ended December 31, 2014. The cumulative amount of UPREIT properties contributed, less assumed debt amounted to $102,451, $95,261 and $37,677 through December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In exchange for the properties contributed, 1,427; 1,330; and 537 non-managing membership units were issued and outstanding, representing an 8.6%, 10.4% and 7.1% interest in the Operating Company at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The membership units are economically equivalent to the Company’s common stock and, subject to certain restrictions, are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the option of the respective unit holders on a one-to-one basis. The membership units are not redeemable for cash in any circumstance and are therefore considered to be permanent equity. Exchanges of membership units of the Operating Company held by non-controlling interest holders are recorded by reducing non-controlling interest on a historical cost basis with a corresponding increase in common stock and additional paid in capital. There were no UPREIT units exchanged for common stock during 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Holders of the membership units in the Operating Company do not have voting rights at the Corporation level.

The Company recognized rental income related to UPREIT entities in the amount of $11,843, $5,259 and $4,311 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

13. Credit Risk Concentrations

The Company maintained bank balances that, at times, exceeded the federally insured limit during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. The Company has not experienced losses relating to these deposits and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to these amounts.

The Company’s rental property is managed by BRE and BAM as described in Note 3. Management fees and acquisition expenses paid to BRE and BAM represent 25%, 27% and 24% of total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company has mortgages and notes payable with four institutions that comprise 20%, 18%, 12%, and 11% of total mortgages and notes payable at December 31, 2016. The Company has mortgages and notes payable with five institutions that comprise 22%, 13%, 13%, 11%, and 10% of total mortgages and notes payable at December 31, 2015. The Company had mortgages and notes payable with six institutions that comprise 21%, 13%, 12%, 10%, 10% and 10% of total mortgages and notes payable at December 31, 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no individual tenants or common franchises that accounted for more than 10% of total revenues.

14. Equity

Common Stock

In 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share redemption program (the Share Redemption Program) under which the Company may repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock after December 31, 2009.

Under the Share Redemption Program, stockholders may request that the Company redeem shares after one year from the original investment date. Stockholders may redeem at a price equal to 95% in years two through five after investment and 100% thereafter of the share value established from time-to-time by the Company’s IDC. However, any stockholder may have up to 5% of their shares redeemed by the Company in any calendar year at 100% of the share value established from time-to-time by the Company’s IDC.

Total shares redeemed in any quarter may not exceed 1% of the total number of shares outstanding at the beginning of the calendar year plus 50% of the total number of any additional shares issued during the prior calendar quarter under the distribution reinvestment plan, plus any additional number of shares the Company determines to redeem in its discretion, subject to other limitations deemed appropriate by the Company. The Share Redemption Program is subject to revision, suspension, or termination at any time.

The following table summarizes redemptions under the Company’s Share Redemption Program for the years ended December 31:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has a Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the Plan), covering substantially all stockholders and members of the Operating Company. In general, the Plan allows participants to purchase common stock with the proceeds from distributions received. Under the Plan, shares are offered at 98% of the current value of common stock as determined by the Company’s IDC. As of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, a total of 1,076, 684 and 426 shares of common stock, respectively, have been issued under the Plan.

In the table above, outstanding membership units are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. However, because such membership units would also require that the share of the Operating Company income attributable to such membership units also be added back to net income, there is no effect on EPS.

16. Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, distributions to stockholders are characterized as ordinary dividends, capital gain distributions, or nontaxable distributions. Nontaxable distributions will reduce US stockholders’ basis in their shares, but not below zero. The following table shows the character of the distributions the Company paid on a percentage basis for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

17. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures

Cash paid for interest was $28,147, $20,974 and $17,823 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash paid for state income and franchise taxes was $310, $44 and $121 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following are non-cash transactions and have been excluded from the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 391, 258 and 198 shares, respectively, of common stock with a value of approximately $27,615, $18,046 and $13,071, respectively, under the terms of the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (see Note 14).

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company cancelled 14 shares with a value of $1,021 that were pledged as collateral by a tenant. The outstanding receivables associated with the tenant amounted to $759 at the date of the stock transfer and were settled with the cancellation of the shares. The excess of the value of the shares above the carrying value of the receivables was recorded as a gain on stock transfer of $262 (see Note 14).

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 139 shares with a value of $10,000 to a related party in exchange for 100 preferred units of the related party (see Note 3).

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company issued 97 and 793 membership units in exchange for property contributed in UPREIT transactions valued at $7,190 and $57,583 (see Note 12).

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued a note receivable for $3,700 in connection with the sale of real estate (see Note 8).

At December 31, 2016, dividend amounts declared and accrued but not yet paid amounted to $6,643.

In connection with real estate transactions conducted during the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company accepted a tenant improvement allowance and a credit for rent in advance of $8,649 and $2,367, respectively, in exchange for a reduction to the cash paid for the associated real estate assets.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of any of these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In connection with ownership and operation of real estate, the Company may potentially be liable for cost and damages related to environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability, or claim. The Company is not aware of any other environmental condition that would have a material effect on its consolidate financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

As part of acquisitions closed during 2016, the Company entered into three separate tenant improvement allowances totaling $10,464. During the year ended December 31, 2016, payments of $974 have been made for work completed under these allowances, resulting in a total tenant improvement allowance of $9,490 at December 31, 2016, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During 2014, the Company entered into a contract with a tenant to provide up to $10,000 for improvements to the interior of the property under lease. If the tenant was in good standing with their lease, the Company made payments towards the allowance based on the progress of the work performed. The contract provided that if the aggregate costs of the improvements were below the $10,000 allowance, the rental rate set forth in the lease would be revised. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $1,162 and $8,838 in improvements under the contract were completed, representing the entire available allowance and satisfaction of the contract.

In July 2015, the Company entered into a contract with a tenant to provide up to $1,489 for an expansion of the existing building under lease and the construction of an additional parking lot. If the tenant was in good standing with their lease, the Company would make payments towards the expansion allowance based on the progress of the work performed. In addition, the contract called for 12 expansion fees, as defined in the agreement, to be paid to the Company on a monthly basis. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company received $88 and $80 in expansion fees from the tenant and incurred $628 and $861 for expansion costs, respectively, representing the satisfaction of the contract.

The Company has two separate Tax Protection Agreements (Agreements) with the contributing members (Protected Members) of two distinct UPREIT transactions conducted in November 2015 and February 2016. The Agreements require the Company to pay monetary damages in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposal of the contributed property in a taxable transaction that would cause a Protected Member to recognize a Protected Gain, as defined in the Agreements and subject to certain exceptions. In such an event, the Company will pay monetary damages to the Protected Members in the amount of the aggregate Federal, state and local income taxes incurred as a result of the income or gain allocated or recognized by the Protected Member as an outcome of the transaction, subject to certain caps and limitations contained in the Agreements. The Company is required to allocate to the Protected Members, an amount of nonrecourse liabilities that is at least equal to the Minimum Liability Amount for each Protected Member, as contained in the Agreements. The minimum liability amount and the associated allocation of nonrecourse liabilities are calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations, are completed at the Operating Company level, and do not present GAAP accounting. Therefore, there is no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. If the nonrecourse liabilities allocated do not meet the requirement, the Company will pay monetary damages to the Protected Members in the amount of the aggregate Federal, state and local income taxes incurred as a result of the income or gain allocated or recognized by the Protected Member as an outcome to the default. The maximum aggregate amount the Company may be liable for under the Agreements is approximately $10,351. Based on information available, the Company does not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred.

19. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 24, 2017, which is the date the Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued.

Through March 31, 2017, the Company has raised $90,923 for a total of 1,166 shares through monthly equity closings, including dividend reinvestments. Through April 24, 2017, the Company has paid $27,760 in distributions, including dividend reinvestments.

Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company has continued to expand its operations through the acquisition of additional rental property and associated intangible assets and liabilities. The Company has acquired approximately $89,716 of rental property and associated intangible assets and liabilities (see Note 4). Additionally, in April 2017, the Company executed, but had not yet closed on, a purchase and sale agreement with an unrelated third party for the acquisition of 25 retail properties for $48,900. In connection with the agreement, a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 is required to be submitted to the escrow agent. In February 2017, the Company sold one property for total proceeds of $6,320 with a carrying value of $5,127. The Company incurred additional expenses related to the sale amounting to $364 resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of $829.

On February 10, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.415 per share on the Company’s common stock and approved a distribution of $0.415 per membership unit for monthly distributions through April 27, 2017. The distributions are payable on the 15th of the following month to stockholders and unit holders of record on the last day of the month. In addition, the Company’s IDC determined the share value for the Company’s common stock is $79.00 per share for subscription agreements received from February 1, 2017 through April 30, 2017.

In January 2017, the Company commenced a private offering of unsecured, fixed-rate, guaranteed senior promissory notes (“Senior Notes”). On March 16, 2017, the Company entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement with each of the purchasers of the Senior Notes. In April 2017, the Company closed and issued the Senior Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Senior Notes were issued by the Operating Company and guaranteed by the Corporation and each of the Operating Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the bank unsecured credit agreements. The Senior Notes were issued at par, bear interest at a rate of 4.84% per annum (priced at 240 basis points above the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield at the time of pricing), and have a 10-year maturity, maturing on April 18, 2027. J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as the joint placement agents. The proceeds were used to paydown $115,000 on the unsecured revolver and for continued operations of the Company.

Subsequent to year end, the Company incurred a total loss on an industrial building due to a fire. The building’s net book value approximated $1,412 as of the date of the loss. The land and land improvements were not impacted by the fire. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the tenant is obligated to restore the premises, as nearly as possible, to its value, condition, and character that existed immediately prior to the loss event, and to continue to make the contractual monthly rental payments. Under the lease, the tenant is required to maintain a property insurance policy on the replacement value of the property. As such, the Company is not required to make a capital outlay for the building’s replacement. The Company’s preliminary estimates of the building’s replacement cost are significantly in excess of its net book value, and therefore the Company expects to recognize a full recovery.

The Operating Company advanced and paid off borrowings on the unsecured revolver in the amount of $85,000 and $182,000, respectively. Proceeds from the advance was used to acquire properties and for other general corporate purposes. The Company settled two mortgage notes payable amounting to $14,536 (see Note 10).

Any net sale proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, such shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 7.3.4, such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

Section 7.3.5.    Purchase Right in Stock Transferred to the Trustee. Shares of Capital Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of: (a) the price per share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Determined Share Value at the time of such devise or gift); or (b) 95% of the Determined Share Value on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer.

Section 7.5.    Enforcement. The Corporation is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article VII.

Section 8.2.    Supervision of Asset Manager. The Board shall monitor the Asset Manager to assure that the administrative procedures, operations and programs of the Corporation are in the best interests of the stockholders and are fulfilled.

ARTICLE IX

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

During any time that the Corporation is advised by the Asset Manager, there shall be a committee of the Board comprised of not fewer than two (2) Independent Directors (the “Independent Directors Committee”). The Independent Directors Committee shall have the maximum power delegable to a committee under the MGCL and is authorized to select and retain its own legal and financial advisors. The Independent Directors Committee may act on any matter permitted by the MGCL if its minutes reflect that it first determined that the matter at issue was such that the exercise of independent judgment by the directors who are not Independent Directors could reasonably be compromised and with respect to any matter which the Articles of Incorporation otherwise requires that the action shall be taken by the Independent Directors Committee. If this condition is met but the matter cannot be delegated to a committee under the MGCL, both the Board and the Independent Directors Committee must approve the matter.

ARTICLE X

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Section 10.1.    Limitation of Director and Officer Liability. To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time permits limitation of the liability of directors and officers of a corporation, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for money damages. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Section 10.1, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws inconsistent with this Section 10.1, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding sentence with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.

Section 10.2.    Indemnification.

(a)    The Corporation shall to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding to (i) any individual who is a present or former director or officer of the Corporation; (ii) any individual who, while a director of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his or her service in such capacity; or (iii) the Asset Manager or any of its Affiliates acting as an agent of the Corporation. The Corporation shall have the power, with the approval of the Board, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation.

(b)    No amendment of the Articles of Incorporation or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the right of indemnification or advancement of expenses provided hereunder with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 10.2.2.    Permitted Indemnification of Directors.

(a)    In addition to, and not in limitation of, the other provisions of this Article X, the Corporation may indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that:

(i)    The act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith, or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

(ii)    The director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or

(iii)    In the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

 

- 16 -


(b)    Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding including, without limitation, investigation, defense, settlement, and appeal of the claim giving rise to such proceeding. If, however, the proceeding was by or in the right of the Corporation, indemnification may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation.

(c)    The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this subsection. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.

(d)    The Corporation may not indemnify a director or advance expenses under this section for a proceeding brought by that director against the Corporation, except:

(i)    For a proceeding brought to enforce indemnification under this section; or

(ii)    If this Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, a Board resolution or an agreement approved by the Board to which the corporation is a party expressly provides otherwise.

Section 10.2.3.    No Indemnification of Director. A director may not be indemnified under Section 10.2.1 in respect: (i) to any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director’s official capacity, in which the director was adjudged by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received; or (ii) to any proceeding where the director is found by a court of law to be guilty of a felony directly related to his or her dealings with the Corporation.

Section 10.2.4.    Required Indemnification Against Expenses Incurred in Successful Defense. A director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 10.2.1, or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the proceeding, shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding, claim, issue, or matter in which the director has been successful.

Section 10.2.5.    Determination that Indemnification is Proper.

(a)    Indemnification under of this section may not be made by the Corporation unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.2.1.

 

- 17 -


(b)    Such determination shall be made:

(i)    By the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not, at the time, parties to the proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the Board consisting solely of one or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full Board in which the designated directors who are parties may participate;

(ii)    By special legal counsel selected by the Board or a committee of the Board by vote as set forth in subparagraph (i) of this Section 10.2.4(b), or, if the requisite quorum of the full Board cannot be obtained therefor and the committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of the full Board in which directors who are parties may participate; or

(iii)    By the stockholders.

(c)    Authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. If, however, the determination that indemnification is permissible is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the manner specified in paragraph (b)(ii) of this subsection for selection of such counsel.

(d)    Shares held by directors who are parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter under this subsection.

Section 10.2.6.    Payment of Expenses in Advance of Final Disposition of Action.

(a)    Reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Corporation of:

(i)    A written affirmation by the director of the director’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Corporation as authorized in this section has been met; and

(ii)    A written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

(b)    The undertaking required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this subsection shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make the repayment.

(c)    The determination as to whether payment shall be made under this subsection shall be made as provided in Section 10.2.4.

 

- 18 -


Section 10.2.7.    Indemnification of Officers and the Asset Manager. The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or the Asset Manager to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to directors under this section.

Section 10.2.8.    Report of Indemnification to Stockholders. Any indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a director or officer in accordance with this section, if arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, shall be reported in writing to the stockholders with the notice of the next stockholders’ meeting or prior to the meeting.

Section 10.3.    Corporate Opportunities. For so long as the Corporation is advised by the Asset Manager or an Affiliate thereof and solely for purposes of the application of any statutory or common law “corporate opportunity” or similar doctrine, the Corporation has no interest in any material opportunity known to the Asset Manager unless it has been recommended to the Corporation by the Asset Manager.

ARTICLE XI

AMENDMENT

The Corporation reserves the right from time to time to make any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, now or hereafter authorized by law, including any amendment altering the terms or contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, of any shares of outstanding Capital Stock.

EXHIBIT 3.2

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

OF

BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC.

ADOPTED ON APRIL 18, 2017

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

Section 1.01.    PRINCIPAL OFFICES. The principal office of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) shall be located at such place as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) may designate from time to time.

Section 1.02.    ADDITIONAL OFFICES. The Corporation may have additional offices at such places as the Board may from time to time determine or otherwise as the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.01.    PLACE. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at a principal office of the Corporation or at such other place as shall be set in accordance with these Bylaws and stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 2.02.    ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Corporation shall be held on a date and time and at the place set by the Board. A failure to hold an annual meeting shall not invalidate the corporate existence of the Corporation or affect otherwise valid corporate acts.

Section 2.03.    SPECIAL MEETINGS.

(a)    General. The chairman of the board, the president, the chief executive officer, a majority of the Board or a majority of the Independent Directors (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time (the Articles of Incorporation)) may call a special meeting of the stockholders. Subject to Section 2.03(b), a special meeting of stockholders shall also be called by the secretary of the Corporation upon the written request of the stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting.

(b)    Stockholder-Requested Special Meetings.

(1)    Any stockholder of record seeking to have stockholders request a special meeting shall, by sending written notice to the secretary of the Corporation by registered mail, return receipt requested (the “Record Date Request Notice”), request the Board to fix a record date to determine the stockholders entitled to request a special meeting (the “Request Record


Date”). The Record Date Request Notice shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, shall be signed by one or more stockholders of record as of the date of signature (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the Record Date Request Notice), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) and shall set forth all information relating to each such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or would otherwise be required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon receiving the Record Date Request Notice, the Board may fix a Request Record Date. The Request Record Date shall not precede and shall not be more than 10 days after the close of business on the date on which the resolution fixing the Request Record Date is adopted by the Board. If the Board, within 20 days after the date on which a valid Record Date Request Notice is received, fails to adopt a resolution fixing the Request Record Date, the Request Record Date shall be the close of business on the 20th day after the first date on which the Record Date Request Notice is received by the secretary of the Corporation.

(2)    In order for any stockholder to request a special meeting to act on any matter, one or more written requests for a special meeting (collectively, the “Special Meeting Request”) signed by stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the request) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting (the “Special Meeting Percentage”) shall be delivered to the secretary of the Corporation. In addition, the Special Meeting Request shall (i) set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it (which shall be limited to those lawful matters set forth in the Record Date Request Notice received by the secretary of the Corporation), (ii) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing the Special Meeting Request, (iii) set forth the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is signed), the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned by each such stockholder (beneficially or of record), and the nominee holder for, and number of, shares owned by such stockholder beneficially but not of record, (iv) be sent to the secretary of the Corporation by registered mail, return receipt requested, and (v) be received by the secretary within 30 days after the Request Record Date. Any requesting stockholder (or agent duly authorized in a writing accompanying the revocation or the Special Meeting Request) may revoke his, her or its request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the secretary of the Corporation.

(3)    The secretary of the Corporation shall inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice of a special meeting (including the Corporation’s proxy materials). The secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting upon stockholder request and such meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to the documents required by paragraph (2) of this Section 2.03(b), the secretary receives payment of such reasonably estimated cost prior to the preparation and mailing of any notice of the special meeting.

 

2


(4)    Except as provided in the next sentence, any special meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president, Board or Independent Directors, whoever has called the special meeting. In the case of any special meeting called by the secretary of the Corporation upon the request of stockholders (a “Stockholder-Requested Meeting”), such special meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Board; provided, however, that the date of any Stockholder-Requested Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting, as such record date is fixed by the Board or otherwise established pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(4) (the “Meeting Record Date”); and provided, further, that if the Board fails to designate, within 20 days after the date that a valid Special Meeting Request is actually received by the secretary of the Corporation (the “Delivery Date”), a date and time for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. local time on the 90th day after the Meeting Record Date or, if such 90th day is not a Business Day (as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day; and provided, further, that in the event that the Board fails to designate a place for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, then such meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. In fixing a date for any special meeting, the chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president, Board or Independent Directors may consider such factors as he, she or it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and any plan of the Board to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. The Board shall fix the Meeting Record Date for any Stockholder-Requested Meeting in accordance with Section 7.04; provided, however, that if the Board fails to fix a Meeting Record Date for any Stockholder-Requested Meeting that is a date within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business on the 30th day after the Delivery Date shall be the Meeting Record Date. The Board may revoke the notice for any Stockholder-Requested Meeting in the event that the requesting stockholders fail to comply with the provisions of paragraph (3) of this Section 2.03(b).

(5)    If written revocations of the Special Meeting Request have been delivered to the secretary of the Corporation and the result is that stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast less than the Special Meeting Percentage have delivered, and not revoked, requests for a special meeting to the secretary, the secretary shall either: (i) if the notice of special meeting has not already been mailed or otherwise delivered pursuant to Section 2.04, refrain from mailing or otherwise delivering the notice of the special meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked such requests written notice of the revocations of requests for the special meeting, or (ii) if the notice of special meeting has been mailed or otherwise delivered and if the secretary first sends to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked requests for a special meeting written notice of the revocations of requests for the special meeting and written notice of the Corporation’s intention to revoke the notice of the meeting, or for the chairman of the meeting to adjourn the meeting without action on the matter, then (A) the secretary may revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before 10 days before the commencement of the special meeting or (B) the chairman of the special meeting may call the meeting to order and adjourn the meeting without acting on any matter. Any request for a special meeting received after a revocation by the secretary of the Corporation of a notice of a special meeting shall be considered a request for a new special meeting.

 

3


(6)    The chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or Board may appoint regionally or nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections to act as the agent of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported Special Meeting Request received by the secretary of the Corporation. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no such purported request shall be deemed to have been delivered to the secretary until the earlier of (i) five Business Days after receipt by the secretary of such purported request and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the valid requests received by the secretary represent, as of the Request Record Date, stockholders of record entitled to cast not less than the Special Meeting Percentage. Nothing contained in this paragraph (6) shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any request, whether during or after such five (5) Business Day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).

(7)    For purposes of these Bylaws, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Section 2.04.    NOTICE FOR MEETINGS. The secretary of the Corporation or other officer of the Corporation shall, not fewer than 10 nor more than 90 days before each meeting of stockholders, give to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting and each other stockholder not entitled to vote but entitled to notice of the meeting, written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise required by the Maryland General Corporation Law (including any successor statute, the “MGCL”) or any other statute, the purpose of the meeting. Notice shall be given to a stockholder by: (i) personally delivering the notice; (ii) by leaving the notice at the stockholder’s residence or usual place of business; (iii) by mailing the notice to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation; (iv) by transmitting the notice to the stockholder by electronic mail to any address or number of the stockholder at which the stockholder receives electronic transmissions, provided that notice may not be given by electronic transmission if so requested by the stockholder; or (v) by delivering the notice by any other means permitted by the MGCL. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation with postage thereon prepaid. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation or other agent of the Corporation that notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission, in the absence of actual fraud, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the affidavit. A single notice shall be effective as to all stockholders who share an address, except to the extent that a stockholder at such address objects to such single notice. Failure to give notice of any meeting to one or more stockholders, or any irregularity in such notice, shall not affect the validity of any meeting fixed in accordance with this Article II, or the validity of any proceedings at any such meeting. Each person who is entitled to notice of a meeting waives notice if the person either: (i) before or after the meeting delivers a written waiver or a waiver by electronic transmission which is filed with the Corporation’s records of stockholder meetings, or (ii) is present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Section 2.05.    SCOPE OF NOTICE. Any business of the Corporation may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice for such annual meeting if such business is properly brought before the meeting, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.12(a) and except for such business as is required by the MGCL or any other applicable statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice for such special meeting. The Corporation may postpone or cancel a meeting of stockholders by making a “public announcement” (as defined in Section 2.12(c)(3) herein) of such postponement or cancellation prior to the meeting.

Section 2.06.    ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT. Every meeting of stockholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed by the Board to be chairman of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment or appointed individual, by the chairman of the board or, in the case of a vacancy in the office or absence of the chairman of the board, by one of the officers of the Corporation present at the meeting in the following order: the vice chairman of the board, if any, the chief executive officer, the president, the vice presidents in their order of rank and seniority, or, in the absence of such officers, a chairman chosen by the stockholders by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present at such meeting in person or by proxy. The secretary of the Corporation, or, in the secretary’s absence, an assistant secretary of the Corporation, or in the absence of both the secretary and assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board or, in the absence of such appointment by the Board, an individual appointed by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting. In the event that the secretary of the Corporation presides at a meeting of the stockholders, an assistant secretary of the Corporation, or in the absence of assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, shall record the minutes of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take such action as, in the discretion of such chairman and without any action by the stockholders, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation: (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the meeting; (b) limiting attendance at the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies or other such persons as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (c) limiting participation at the meeting on any matter to stockholders of record of the Corporation entitled to vote on such matter, their duly authorized proxies or other such persons as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (d) limiting the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; (e) determining when the polls should be opened and closed; (f) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (g) removing any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the chairman of the meeting; (h) concluding a meeting or recessing or adjourning the meeting to a later date and time and at a place announced at the meeting; and (i) such other procedures for the conduct of the meeting as the chairman of the meeting shall determine. Unless otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

 

5


Section 2.07.    QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT. At any meeting of the stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum; provided, however, that this Section 2.07 shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the Articles of Incorporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. Prior to being convened, a meeting of stockholders may be postponed from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. The stockholders present, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and convened and at which a quorum was established, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the subsequent withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave fewer than would be required to establish a quorum.

Section 2.08.    VOTING. Except as otherwise required by the Articles of Incorporation or by applicable law, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any matter other than the election of directors which may properly come before the meeting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. Unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Voting on any question or in any election will be by ballot unless the chairman of the meeting determines voting shall be by viva voce or otherwise.

Section 2.09.    PROXIES. A stockholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or by the stockholder’s duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law. Such proxy or evidence of authorization of such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid more than 11 months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

Section 2.10.    VOTING OF STOCK BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Stock registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president, a vice president, a general partner, or trustee, as the case may be, of such entity or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person, who has been appointed to vote such stock pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership, presents a certified

 

6


copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such stock. Any director or other fiduciary may vote stock registered in his or her name in his or her capacity as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy. Shares of the Corporation’s stock owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case, subject to the terms of the Articles of Incorporation, they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

Section 2.11.    INSPECTORS.

(a)    At any meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, the Board or the chairman of the meeting may, but need not, appoint before or after the meeting one or more individual inspectors or one or more entities that designate individuals as inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. In case any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting.

(b)    The inspectors, if any, shall (1) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, (2) receive and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, (3) report such tabulations to the chairman of the meeting, (4) hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, and (5) do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote. Each such report to the chairman of the meeting shall be in writing and signed by the inspector. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

Section 2.12.    DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND OTHER STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS.

 

  (a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(1)    Nominations of individuals for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board, or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record both at the time of giving of notice by the stockholder as provided for in this Section 2.12(a) and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of directors or on the proposal of other business, as the case may be, and who has complied with this Section 2.12(a).

(2)    For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.12(a)(1), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a

(a)    Claim. The registered owner makes proof in affidavit form that a previously issued certificate for shares has been lost, destroyed, or stolen;

(b)    Timely Request. The registered owner requests the issuance of a new certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim;

(c)    Bond.

(d)    Other Requirements. The registered owner satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Board.

When a certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen and the stockholder of record fails to notify the Corporation, if the Corporation registers a transfer of the shares represented by the certificate before receiving such notification, the stockholder of record is precluded from making any claim against the Corporation for the transfer or for a new certificate.

Such record date, in any case, may not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than 10 days, before the date on which the meeting or particular action requiring such determination of stockholders of record is to be held or taken.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN (Effective as of December 31 2007)

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), has adopted this Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), to be administered by Broadstone Asset Management, LLC or its successor as administrator of the Plan (the “Administrator”) as agent for participants in the Plan (“Participants”), on the terms and conditions set forth below.

1.     Election to Participate. Any purchaser of shares of common stock of the Corporation, par value $.001 per share (the “Shares”) or membership units of Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the “Operating Company”) that are convertible into Shares (“Membership Units”) (Shares and Membership Units are collectively, “Securities”), and any Person who acquires Shares or Membership Units from such a purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or the Operating Company’s Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, may become a Participant by making a written election to participate, as applicable, on such purchaser’s subscription agreement at the time of subscription for Shares or by written notice to the Corporation with regards to Membership Units. Any stockholder or member who has not previously elected to participate in the Plan, may so elect at any time by completing and executing an authorization form obtained from the Corporation or any other appropriate documentation as may be acceptable to the Administrator which shall include representations that the proposed Participant is an “Accredited Investor” (as defined below), is the donee of an Accredited Investor, or otherwise satisfies the suitability criteria required by the Corporation. Participants in the Plan generally are required to have the full amount of their cash distributions (other than “Excluded Distributions” as defined below) with respect to all Securities owned by them reinvested pursuant to the Plan. However, the Administrator shall have the sole discretion, upon the request of a Participant, to accommodate a Participant’s request for less than all of the Participant’s Securities to be subject to participation in the Plan.

2.     Distribution Reinvestment. The Administrator will receive all cash distributions (other than Excluded Distributions) paid by the Corporation with respect to Securities of Participants (collectively, the “Distributions”). Participation will commence with the next Distribution payable after receipt of the Participant’s election pursuant to Paragraph 1 hereof, provided it is received at least ten (10) days prior to the record date to which such Distribution relates. Subject to the preceding sentence, regardless of the date of such election, a holder of Securities will become a Participant in the Plan effective on the first day of the period following such election, and the election will apply to all Distributions attributable to such period and to all periods thereafter. As used in this Plan, the term “Excluded Distributions” shall mean those cash or other distributions designated as Excluded Distributions by the Board.

3.     General Terms of Plan Investments.

(a)     The Corporation intends to offer Shares pursuant to the Plan at $50 per share until December 31, 2009 and thereafter at 98% of the Determined Share Value (as such term is defined in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation), regardless of the price per Security paid by the Participant for the Securities in respect of which the Distributions are paid.

(b)     Organizational, offering or marketing expenses will not be paid or reimbursed for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan.

(c)     For each Participant, the Administrator will maintain an account which shall reflect for each period in which Distributions are paid (a “Distribution Period”) the Distributions received by the Administrator on behalf of such Participant. A Participant’s account shall be reduced as purchases of Shares are made on behalf of such Participant.


(d)     Distributions shall be invested in Shares by the Administrator promptly following the payment date with respect to such Distributions to the extent Shares are available for purchase under the Plan. If sufficient Shares are not available, any such funds that have not been invested in Shares within 30 days after receipt by the Administrator and, in any event, by the end of the fiscal month in which they are received, will be distributed to Participants. Any interest earned on such accounts will be paid to the Corporation and will become property of the Corporation.

(e)     Participants may acquire fractional Shares, computed to three decimal places, so that 100% of the Distributions will be used to acquire Shares. The ownership of the Shares shall be reflected on the books of the Corporation or its transfer agent.

4.     Absence of Liability. Neither the Corporation nor the Administrator shall have any responsibility or liability as to the value of the Shares or any change in the value of the Shares acquired for the Participant’s account. Neither the Corporation nor the Administrator shall be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission to act hereunder for any purchases or sales on behalf of the participants in the Plan.

5.     Suitability. Each Participant shall notify the Corporation in the event that, at any time while participating in the Plan, there is a material change in the Participant’s financial condition or an inaccuracy of any representation relating to the suitability of the Participant as an investor and qualification of the Participant as an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (an “Accredited Investor”) made by Participant in connection with the Participant’s purchase of the Securities. A material change shall include any anticipated or actual decrease in net worth or annual gross income or any other change in circumstances that would cause the Participant to fail to meet the suitability standards as an investor and qualification as an Accredited Investor previously represented.

6.     Reports to Participants. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, the Administrator will mail to each Participant a statement of account describing, as to such Participant, the Distributions received, the number of Shares purchased, the per Share purchase price for such Shares pursuant to the Plan, and any other transaction processed to the participant’s account during the current year. Each statement also shall advise the Participant that, in accordance with Section 5 hereof, the Participant is required to notify the Corporation in the event there is any material change in the Participant’s financial condition or if any representation made by the Participant under the subscription agreement for the Participant’s initial purchase of Securities becomes inaccurate. Tax information regarding a Participant’s participation in the Plan will be sent to each Participant by the Corporation or the Administrator at least annually.

7.     Taxes. Taxable Participants may incur a tax liability for Distributions even though they have elected not to receive their Distributions in cash but rather to have their Distributions reinvested in Shares under the Plan.

8.     Termination.

(a)     A Participant may terminate or modify participation in the Plan at any time by written notice to the Corporation. To be effective for any Distribution, such notice must be received by the Corporation at least ten (10) days prior to the record date of the Distribution Period to which it relates.

 

2


(b)     A Participant’s transfer of Securities will terminate participation in the Plan with respect to such transferred Securities as of the first day of the Distribution Period in which such transfer is effective, unless the transferee of such Securities in connection with such transfer demonstrates to the Administrator that such transferee meets the requirements for participation hereunder and affirmatively elects participation by delivering an executed authorization form or other instrument required by the Administrator.

9.     State Regulatory Restrictions. The Corporation is authorized to deny participation in the Plan to residents of any state or foreign jurisdiction that imposes restrictions on participation in the Plan that conflict with the general terms and provisions of this Plan, including, without limitation, any general prohibition on the payment of broker-dealer commissions for purchases under the Plan.

10.     Amendment or Termination by Corporation.

(a)     The terms and conditions of this Plan may be amended by the Corporation at any time, including but not limited to an amendment to the Plan to substitute a new Administrator to act as agent for the Participants, by mailing an appropriate notice at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date thereof to each Participant.

(b)     The Corporation may terminate the Plan by providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to all Participants.

(c)    The Corporation may terminate a Participant’s individual participation in the Plan, at any time by providing ten (10) days’ prior written notice to a Participant, if the Participant’s participation in the Plan may (i) adversely affect the status of the Corporation as a real estate investment trust pursuant to Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code; (ii) result in a Participant who is not an Accredited Investor, (iii) violate or create adverse consequences under any law, rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Corporation and its securities including, without limitation, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or Internal Revenue Code, (iv) with regards to Shares, be prohibited by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (v) with regards to Membership Units, be prohibited by Broadstone Net Lease, LLC’s Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement.

(d)     After termination of the Plan or termination of a Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Administrator will send to each Participant a check for the amount of any Distributions in the Participation’s account that have not been invested in Shares. Any future Distributions with respect to such former Participant’s Securities made after the effective date of the termination of the Participant’s participation will be sent directly to the former Participant.

11.     Participation by Members of Broadstone Net Lease, LLC. For purposes of this Plan, “Participants” shall be deemed to include members of Broadstone Net Lease, LLC that elect to participate in the Plan, and “Distribution,” when used with respect to such members shall mean cash distributions on Membership Units held by such member.

12.     Authorization. Any determination, decision, or action of the Board in connection with the construction, interpretation, administration, or application of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Participants, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

13.    Governing Law. This Plan and the Participants’ election to participate in the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, unless otherwise, and only to the extent, required to be governed by the Maryland General Corporate Law, as amended.

SHARE REDEMPTION PROGRAM

(Effective as of December 31, 2009; Amended and Restated as of April 18, 2017)

BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC.

 

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), has adopted this Share Redemption Program (the “Program”), to be administered by Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Administrator”) as agent for the Corporation participating in the Program, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below.

TERMS

1.    Authority and Purpose. The Program is established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Articles of Organization of the Corporation, and by the Independent Directors Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Bylaws of the Corporation, for the purpose of enabling shareholders of the Corporation (“Shareholders”) to sell shares of common stock (“Shares”) back to the Corporation after December 31, 2009, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below and any additional restrictions, limitations or conditions imposed by the Committee from time to time.

2.    Redemption Requests. Any Shareholder desiring to sell Shares back to the Corporation pursuant to the Program must complete and execute the “Request to Redeem” in the form attached hereto, as revised from time to time, and deliver it to the Administrator at least ten (10) days prior to the last business day of the calendar quarter in which the Shareholder would like Shares redeemed.

3.    Share Redemption Price. On the last business day of each calendar quarter, the Corporation will redeem Shares. Shares held for more than 12 months, but less than 5 years, will be redeemed at a purchase price (the “Redemption Consideration”) equal to 95% of the “Determined Share Value” in effect at the time the Shares are tendered for redemption in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program, while shares held for 5 years or more will be redeemed at a Redemption Consideration equal to 100% of the “Determined Share Value” in effect at that time, subject to all other restrictions, conditions and terms of the Share Redemption Program; provided, however, any Shareholder may have up to 5% of their Shares redeemed by the Corporation in any calendar year at 100% of the Determined Share Value in effect at the time the Shares are tendered for redemption in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Program and subject to all other restrictions, conditions and terms of this Program. The 5% discount applied to Shares tendered for redemption that have been held for more than 12 months, but less than 5 years, shall not apply if the Share redemption request relates solely to a change in the form of Share ownership and the Shareholder will be, simultaneously with the redemption, investing in the Corporation, through a different form of Share ownership, an amount equal to or greater than the amount of the Redemption Consideration, subject to all other restrictions, conditions and terms of this Program. If an individual Shareholder is deceased, the deceased Shareholder’s estate may request the redemption of the Shares held in the deceased Shareholder’s individual capacity at a purchase price equal to 100% of the Determined Share Value in effect at the time the Shares are tendered for redemption within one year of the death of the Shareholder, subject to all other restrictions, conditions and terms of this Program. The “Determined Share Value” means the value of a share of common stock of the Corporation, as set by the Committee from time to time. A check payable to the Shareholder or a wire transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment in the amount of the Redemption Consideration will be mailed or sent, as applicable, to the Shareholder within five (5) business days after the Shares are redeemed by the Corporation, subject to any withholding required under applicable law.

4.    Share Redemption Cap. The total number of Shares redeemed in any one calendar quarter by the Corporation pursuant to the Program will not exceed 1% of the total number of Shares outstanding at the beginning of that calendar year, plus 50% of the total number of any additional Shares issued during the prior calendar quarter under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan, plus any additional number of Shares the Committee decides to redeem in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, limit the total number of Shares to be redeemed in any calendar quarter in the best interests of the Corporation. The total number of Shares


available for redemption in any calendar quarter is referred to as the “Redemption Cap.” In the event the total number of Shares tendered for redemption in any calendar quarter exceeds the Redemption Cap, the Shares tendered for redemption will be redeemed by the Corporation in the following order: first, pro rata, by priority, among Unredeemed Shares (as defined in Section 5 below) to be redeemed by the Corporation as directed by a participating Shareholder’s “Request to Redeem,” and second, pro rata, among Shareholders tendering Shares for the first time. The total number of Shares redeemed on a pro rata basis from each participating Shareholder will be the product of the number of Unredeemed Shares or Shares, as the case may be, tendered by the Shareholder multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Redemption Cap for that calendar quarter minus the total number of Unredeemed Shares already redeemed by the Corporation in that calendar quarter, if any, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Unredeemed Shares or Shares, as the case may be, tendered for redemption in that quarter, rounded to the nearest whole Share.

5.    Share Redemption Priority. To the extent the total number of Shares tendered for redemption by Shareholders at the end of any calendar quarter are not redeemed (“Unredeemed Shares”) by the Corporation because it exceeds the Redemption Cap, the Unredeemed Shares will be given first priority for redemption at the end of the following calendar quarter, with the Redemption Consideration calculated based on the Determined Share Value then in effect, subject to the terms and conditions of the Program. If the Shareholder desires to have any Unredeemed Shares redeemed in the subsequent calendar quarter or quarters even though the Determined Share Value at that time is equal to or in excess of the Determined Share Value in effect when the Shares were initially tendered, the Shareholder should indicate that desire by initialing the appropriate place on the “Request to Redeem” prior to its delivery to the Administrator. The Shareholder may cancel any “Request to Redeem” in writing to the Administrator not later than ten (10) business days prior to the end of the calendar quarter. The priority given Unredeemed Shares pursuant to the Program may cause one or more tiers of priority if the total number of Unredeemed Shares and/or Shares continues to exceed the Redemption Cap in multiple successive calendar quarters.

6.    Right to Reject; Program Subject to Revision, Suspension, Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reject any Share redemption request made by any Shareholder at any time. The terms of the Program are subject to revision, suspension or termination by the Board and the Committee at any time and from time to time, in the best interests of the Corporation.

CONDITIONS

1.    Minimum Holding Period. Shares tendered for redemption must be held by the Shareholder for at least one (1) year (the “Minimum Holding Period”) prior to being redeemed by the Corporation pursuant the Program. When membership units (“Membership Units”) of Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the “Operating Company”) are converted to Shares, the time period(s) during which the Shareholder held Membership Units may be used to meet the Minimum Holding Period. In the event of death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder, or other exigent circumstances as approved by the Committee, the Corporation may waive the Minimum Holding Period for any number of Shares, in the Committee’s sole and absolute discretion.

2.    Additional Conditions to Redemption. Any redemption of Shares by the Corporation pursuant to the Program shall:

(a)    comply with applicable federal and state securities laws; and

(b)    not violate Section 2-311 of the Maryland general Corporation Law, which, among other things, requires that at the time of any redemption or other purchase of its own shares the Corporation have sufficient funds to pay its indebtedness as it becomes due and have total assets in excess of its total liabilities; and

(c)    not cause the Corporation to violate any restrictions applicable to the Corporation as a “real estate investment trust” or “REIT” or otherwise interfere with its ability to preserve the status of the Corporation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and in effect from time to time.

3.    Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. The Shareholder must, and automatically does so by executing a Request to Redeem and delivering it to the Administrator, represent and warrant to the Corporation that:

(a)    the Shareholder is the lawful owner of Shares tendered for redemption, free and clear of all security interest, liens, encumbrances, equities and other charges; and

 

2


(b)    the Shareholder has the full and complete right and authority to transfer, sell, surrender, assign and convey the Shares tendered for redemption to the Corporation; and

(c)    the Shareholder is not a party to any agreement, written or oral, creating rights in respect of any Shares tendered for redemption to the Corporation in any third person; and

(d)    the sale by the Shareholder to the Corporation of the Shares tendered for redemption is made freely and voluntarily by the Shareholder and in selling said Shares to the Corporation the Shareholder is not acting under fraud, duress, menace or undue influence; and

An annual asset management fee shall be paid to the Asset Manager (or its designee) on a pro-rata basis in advance on the first business day of each calendar quarter (the “Asset Management Fee”). From the initial closing of the Offering through December 31, 2009, the annual Asset Management Fee shall be equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Equity Contributions to both the Corporation and the Operating Company (the “Equity Contributions Amount”). After December 31, 2009, the annual Asset Management Fee shall be equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate Determined Share Value as of the last business day of the preceding calendar quarter, on a fully diluted basis as if all interests in the Operating Company had been converted into shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The parties agree and acknowledge that the Equity Contribution Amount and Determined Share Value for each calendar quarter will not be determinable as of the first business day of such calendar quarter. Accordingly, on the first day of each calendar quarter the Asset Manager shall be paid an amount based upon the Equity Contributions Amount or Determined Share Value, as applicable, for the immediately preceding quarter (the “Estimated Fee Payment”). As promptly as commercially reasonable following any closing (with regards to the Equity Contributions Amount) or a determination by the Independent Directors (with regards to the Determined Share Value), Asset Manager shall be paid any difference between the Estimated Fee Payment and the total Asset Management Fee to which Asset Manager shall be entitled for such quarter pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)    From the initial closing of the Offering through December 31, 2017, the payment of the Asset Management Fee for any quarter will be deferred in whole or in part at any time during a rolling twelve-month period when cumulative distributions are below $3.50 per share. Any deferred Asset Management Fees will be deferred indefinitely; will accrue interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum until paid; and will be paid from “available cash” after cumulative distributions from inception equal to $3.50 per share annually have been paid. For purposes of this Agreement, “available cash” includes working capital and cash flow from operations plus proceeds from debt and equity financings and property sales, provided that such payments or transactions would not result in the Fund exceeding the Leverage Policy established by the Independent Directors Committee.

 

8


(c)    In addition to the Asset Management Fee, and in exchange for the Offering and Marketing Activities of the Asset Manager in Section 12(b)(iv), the Operating Company shall pay the Asset Manager a marketing fee equal to 0.5% of all New Equity Contributions upon contribution thereof (the “Marketing Fee”). The Fund and the Asset Manager acknowledge and agree that the Operating Company paid the Asset Manager, out of the proceeds of the equity contribution closed on December 31, 2012 (the “2012 YE Equity Contribution”), a one-time fee equal to 3.42% of the 2012 YE Equity Contribution, as compensation for, and in complete satisfaction of, any and all obligations of the Fund to reimbursement the Asset Manager pursuant to Section 12(a)(ix) of the Original Agreement.

(d)    The Asset Manager and its Affiliates shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Fund in respect of any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation or member interests of the Operating Company which any of them hold, along with the other holders of such shares or interests.

(e)    Subject to Section 15 below, the Asset Manager shall also be entitled to receive compensation for any additional services requested from time to time by the Fund on separate agreed-upon terms, subject to approval by a majority of the Independent Directors as being fair and reasonable to the Corporation and Operating Company.

11.    Statements. Prior to the payment of any fees hereunder, the Asset Manager shall furnish to the Fund a statement showing the computation of the fees, if any, payable under Section 10 hereof.

12.    Expenses of the Fund.

(a)    The Operating Company shall be responsible for and pay directly, or shall reimburse any Person that paid on the Operating Company’s behalf (including the Asset Manager and Corporation), any of the Fund’s expenses. Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically agreed that the following expenses of the Fund shall be paid by the Operating Company on its own behalf or on behalf of the Corporation and shall not be borne by the Asset Manager unless such expense is a fee or other service for which the Asset Manager is otherwise receiving a fee from the Fund:

(xii)    other legal, accounting and auditing fees and expenses as well as any costs incurred in connection with any litigation in which the Fund is involved and the examination, investigation or other proceedings conducted by any regulatory agency with respect to the Fund.

(b)    The Asset Manager shall bear the expenses it incurs in connection with performing its duties under this Agreement including:

(i)    employee compensation, including salaries, wages, payroll taxes and the cost of employee benefit plans;

(ii)    rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment and machinery (including computers and computer use related expenses), supplies and other office expenses;

10


fees, reproduction costs, and other investor related matters, and (Y) marketing activities, generally relating to meetings attended by potential investors, printing and mailing costs and, if brokers are engaged, their fees and expenses (collectively, the “Offering and Marketing Activities”). Asset Manager expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall (X) bear the full cost and expense of such Offering and Marketing Activities itself, (Y) be compensated for its Offering and Marketing Activities pursuant to Section 10(c) of this Agreement, and (Z) not seek additional compensation from Corporation or Operating Company, or any of their affiliates, for any cost or expense related to Offering and Marketing Activities that may from time to time exceed the Marketing Fee paid or to be paid to Asset Manager; provided, however, the foregoing shall not include costs and expenses required to be paid to any other service provider pursuant to any agreement to which the Corporation or Operating Company is a party (e.g., a property management agreement) or by the Corporation or the Operating Company pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation or Operating Agreement, as the case maybe.

13.    Other Activities of Asset Manager.

(a)    Except as set forth in this Section 13, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Asset Manager or any of its Affiliates from engaging in other business activities related to real estate, mortgage investments or other investments whether similar or dissimilar to those made by any of the Fund or from acting as advisor to any other person or entity having investment policies whether similar or dissimilar to those of the Corporation or the Operating Company (including other REITs or partnerships); provided, that, before the Asset Manager and all Persons controlled by the Asset Manager may take advantage of an opportunity for their own account or present or recommend it to others, they are obligated to present an investment opportunity to the Fund if: (i) such opportunity is compatible with all pertinent factors of the Fund’s Investment Policy including diversification, property type and location; (ii) such opportunity is of a character which could be taken by the Fund; and (iii) the Fund has the financial resources to take advantage of such opportunity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund acknowledges that the Asset Manager and its Affiliates have invested in a variety of real estate investments and agree that Asset Manager and its Affiliate may continue to own, operate and manage such net-leased properties.

(b)    The Asset Manager will use its best efforts to present suitable investments to the Fund consistent with the Investment Policy. If the Asset Manager or any of its Affiliates is presented with a potential investment in a property which might be made by more than one investment entity which it advises or manages, the decision as to the suitability of the property

 

11


for investment by a particular entity will be based upon a review of the investment portfolio of each entity and upon factors such as: (i) cash flow from the property; (ii) the effect of the acquisition of the property on the diversification of each entity’s portfolio; (iii) rental payments during any renewal period; (iv) the amount of equity required to make the investment; (v) the policies of each entity relating to leverage; (vi) the funds of each entity available for investment; and (vii) the length of time the funds have been available for investment and the manner in which the potential investment can be structured by each entity. To the extent that a particular property might be determined to be suitable for more than one investment entity, priority generally will be given to the investment entity having uninvested funds for the longest period of time.

14.    Term, Termination of Agreement and Termination Fee.

(a)    This Agreement shall be effective on the date first above set forth and shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2017 (the “Initial Term”).

(c)    In exchange for services rendered in connection with the execution of new leases after the initial acquisition of the Property, the Property Manager will receive a re-leasing fee equal to one month’s rent if the Lease is with an existing tenant, or two month’s rent if the tenant is new to the Property (whether or not the Property Manager engages a broker to lease the Property on behalf of the Owner).

(d)    In exchange for disposition services rendered, upon the sale of a Property the Property Manager will receive a disposition fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross purchase price paid for the disposed Property.

In the event that Property Manager properly engages one or more third parties to perform the services described herein on behalf of the Property Manager, the fees payable to such parties for such services will be deducted from the monthly Management Fees payable by the Operating Company to Property Manager, or paid directly by Property Manager, at Property Manager’s option. All fees paid pursuant to this Article IV shall be in addition to any brokerage fees paid to third parties in connection with the purchase, sale, lease or re-lease of Properties, which shall be an expense of Owner.

4.2    Additional Fees. In the event that the Property Manager provides services other than those specified herein, the Operating Company shall pay to Property Manager a fee equal to no more than that which the Operating Company would pay to a third party that is not an Affiliate of the Owner or the Property Manager to provide such services, as approved by the Independent Directors Committee.

4.3    Property Manager Financing and Guarantee. The Property Manager or its Affiliate may also provide, but is not obligated to provide, short-term financing to, or guarantees for, the Owner. The Property Manager shall be entitled to receive an interest rate of up to the prime rate plus one percent (1%) in exchange for any advances to the Owner and five (5) basis points in exchange for guaranteeing recourse carve-outs on any financing transaction to which an Owner is a party.

4.4    Audit Adjustment. If any audit of the records, books or accounts relating to the Properties discloses an overpayment or underpayment of Management Fees, Owner or Property Manager shall promptly pay to the other party the amount of such overpayment or underpayment, as the case may be. If such audit discloses an overpayment of Management Fees for any fiscal year of more than the five (5%) percent of the Management Fees paid for such fiscal year, Property Manager shall bear the cost of such audit.

ARTICLE V.

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

5.1    Insurance to be Carried. Property Manager shall obtain or cause the tenants pursuant to their Leases to obtain and keep in full force and effect insurance on the Property against such hazards as Owner and Property Manager shall deem appropriate, but in any event sufficient to comply with the Leases and the Financing Agreements shall be maintained. All liability policies shall provide sufficient insurance satisfactory to both Owner and Property Manager, and any applicable Financing Agreements, and shall contain waivers of subrogation for the benefit of Property Manager. In the event insurance is an obligation and responsibility of a tenant of a Property pursuant to a Lease, Property Manager shall endeavor to confirm that the policy obtained by the tenant provides the coverage required by the Lease and that the Owner is named as an additional insured.

5.2    Cooperation with Insurers. Property Manager shall cooperate with and provide reasonable access to the Properties and Improvements to representatives of insurance companies and insurance brokers or agents with respect to insurance which is in effect or for which application has been made. Property Manager shall use its best efforts to comply with, or cause tenants to comply with, all requirements of insurers.

5.3    Accidents and Claims. Property Manager shall promptly investigate and shall report in detail to Owner all accidents, claims for damage relating to the ownership, operation or

 

9


maintenance of the Properties, and any damage or destruction to the Properties and the estimated costs of repair thereof, and shall prepare for approval by Owner all reports required by an insurance company in connection with any such accident, claim, damage, or destruction. Such reports shall be given to Owner promptly. Property Manager is authorized to settle any claim against an insurance company arising out of any policy and, in connection with such claim, to execute proofs of loss and adjustments of loss and to collect and receipt for loss proceeds.

5.4    Indemnification. Property Manager shall hold Owner harmless from and indemnify and defend Owner against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever for which Property Manager is responsible occurring in, on, or about the Properties, including, without limitation, the Improvements when such injury or damage shall be caused by the negligence of Property Manager, its agents, servants, or employees, except to the extent that Owner recovers insurance proceeds with respect to such matter. Owner will indemnify and hold Property Manager harmless against all liability for injury to persons and damage to property caused by Owner’s negligence and which did not result from the negligence or misconduct of Property Manager, except to the extent Property Manager recovers insurance proceeds with respect to such matter.

ARTICLE VI.

In consideration of the Agreement, the agreements set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby agreed upon, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

  1. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

 

  2. Section 1(h) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

(h)    “Change in Control” means the failure of the Sponsors, the Sponsors’ Affiliates, Trident BRE, LLC (“Trident BRE”), a Delaware limited liability company, Affiliates of Trident BRE and employees of Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (“BRE”), a New York limited liability company and the parent of the Asset Manager, who are members of BRE, to collectively own, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding membership interests of BRE.

 

  3. Section 1(bb) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

(bb)    “Sponsors” means Amy L. Tait and Broadstone Ventures, LLC, a New York limited liability company.

(f)     perform due diligence functions for all property acquisitions and dispositions and select and supervise all third parties necessary to assess the physical condition and other characteristics of a property, including without limitation, survey companies, title examiners, attorneys, engineers, and environmental consultants, subject to any required Board review of such acquisitions;

 

  5. A new Section 2(t) shall be added to the Agreement and the existing Section 2(t) redesignated as Section 2(u) and new Section 2(t) shall read in its entirety as follows:

(t)    coordinate the initial leasing of any real properties owned by the Operating Company or any Special Purpose Entity, as applicable, at the time of acquisition to the extent such acquired property is not then subject to a lease and negotiate and use its best efforts to secure executed leases from qualified tenants, and to execute same on behalf of the Operating Company and any Special Purpose Entity, as applicable, if requested, such leases to be in form and on terms approved by the Operating Company or any Special Purpose Entity, as applicable, and the Asset Manager, and hire all leasing agents, as necessary for the initial leasing of such acquired properties, and to otherwise oversee and manage the initial leasing process on behalf of the Operating Company and any Special Purpose Entity, as applicable; and

  7. New Section 10(g) shall be added to the Agreement as follows:

ARTICLE II. CREDIT FACILITY

Section 2.1. Revolving Loans.

(a)    Making of Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, Section 2.13., each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding such Lenders’ Revolving Commitment. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to Section 2.13., a borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b)    Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time at least 1 Business Day prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time at least 3 Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Revolving Loans Borrowing. Each Notice of Revolving Loans Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Revolving Loans Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.

(c)    Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Revolving Loans Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified in the Notice of Revolving Loans Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(d)    Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Lenders. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Revolving Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Revolving Lender. In such event, if such Revolving Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Revolving Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Revolving Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking

 

- 28 -


industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Revolving Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Revolving Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender.

Section 2.2. Term Loans

(a)    Making of Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Each Base Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000. Each LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Upon funding of a Term Loan, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender shall terminate.

(b)    Requests for Term Loans. Not later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern time at least 3 Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Notice of Term Loans Borrowing requesting that the Term Loan Lenders make the Term Loans on such date and specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be borrowed, the Type of the Term Loans, and if such Term Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for the Term Loans. Such notice shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender.

(c)    Funding of Term Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Term Loans Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Term Loan Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the anticipated date of borrowing. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Term Loans Borrowing, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Effective Date, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loans once repaid.

Section 2.3. Letters of Credit

(a)    Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.13., the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one or more standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $20,000,000 as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”).

(b)    Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to

 

- 29 -


approval by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Issuing Bank but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $500,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).

(c)    Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent written notice at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the Issuing Bank. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2., the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date 5 Business Days following the date after which the Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d)    Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by the Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately following subsection (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e)    Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower

 

- 30 -


fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f)    Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g)    Issuing Banks Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit

 

- 31 -


Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.10., but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h)    Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, if any, required by Section 13.7. shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(d).

(i)    Revolving Lenders Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Revolving Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit

 

- 32 -


and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(d)).

(j)    Payment Obligation of Revolving Lenders. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9.(d). If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.3.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, then such Revolving Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(e) or (f), or (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k)    Information to Lenders. Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly deliver the same to each Revolving Lender and the Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Revolving Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Revolving Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing Bank shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

Section 2.4. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)    Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)    during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.

 

- 33 -


Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default specified in Sections 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) exists or, if required by the Requisite Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loans made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)    Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)    Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the Applicable Margin and rate per annum in respect of certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.5. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than twelve (12) different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.6. Repayment of Loans.

(a)    Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

(b)    Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Section 2.7. Prepayments.

(a)    Optional. Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least 3 Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

 

- 34 -


(b)    Mandatory.

(i)    Revolving Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess.

(ii)    Maximum Availability Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the Maximum Availability, the Borrower shall within 5 days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any such excess, deliver to the Administrative Agent for prompt distribution to each Lender a written plan to eliminate such excess. Such excess shall be paid (unless otherwise eliminated) within 15 days of the Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof or by the date specified in the Borrower’s written plan to the extent such plan is acceptable to all of the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such excess was caused by a change in the Applicable Mortgage Constant and the Applicable Mortgage Constant exceeds 14% for 14 consecutive days, then, until the date that the Applicable Mortgage Constant falls below 14%, the Applicable Mortgage Constant for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to be an average of the Applicable Mortgage Constant for each day determined for the 30 day period ending on such date of determination.

(iii)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding subsections (b)(i) and (b)(ii) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.

Section 2.8. Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.

Section 2.9. Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern time 3 Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (“Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, however, the Borrower may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments below $75,000,000 unless the Borrower is terminating the Revolving Commitments in full. Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction. The Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated. The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 5.4.

The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable two (2) times, to request that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to extend either or both of the Revolving Termination Date and Term Loan Maturity Date by one year. The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 90 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Revolving Termination Date and/or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof.

At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from a Financial Officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (x)(A) and (x)(B).

- 37 -


reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11. shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments:

(a)    the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time; or

(b)    the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the Maximum Availability at such time.

Section 2.14. Increase in Revolving Commitments.

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time on not more than 2 different occasions during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments shall not exceed $200,000,000 less the amount of any reduction of the Revolving Commitments effected pursuant to Section 2.11. Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be in the aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders, such Lenders to be mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and any approval of a Lender suggested by one shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the other. No Revolving Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Revolving Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.3.(j) that 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 Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects

 

- 38 -


(except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary (or other individual performing similar functions) of (A) all partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) new Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Revolving Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Revolving Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments. In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14. any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a)    Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to the Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by the Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of the Issuing Bank. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

(b)    Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such

 

- 39 -


event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1.(a) and 2.3.(e) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders and each payment of the fees under Sections 3.5.(b)(i), 3.5.(c), and the first sentence of 3.5.(d) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.11. shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; (c) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the Term Loan Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments; (d) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans and each payment of fees under Section 3.5.(b)(ii) shall be made for the account of the Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (e) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (f) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans or Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (g) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.3., shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment, if in respect of a Revolving Loan should be distributed to the Revolving Lenders or if in respect of a Term Loan to the Term Loan Lenders, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Revolving Loans and or Term Loans, as applicable, made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other

 

- 40 -


Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

(d)    Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full.

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.4.(a)(i) and (ii).

All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)    Cash Collateral.

(i)    If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

 

- 44 -


(ii)    At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Commitment, within 1 Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii)    The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v)    Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, if it is a Revolving Lender, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the subsection (d) of this Section) and if it is a Term Loan Lender, purchase at par that portion of outstanding

 

- 45 -


Term Loans of the other Term Loan Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary cause the Term Loans to be held pro rata by the Term Loan Lenders in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g)    New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Revolving Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $5000. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, except the Defaulting Lender as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 3.10. Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a)    Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, and (v) any taxes imposed by Sections 1471 through Section 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (including any official interpretations thereof, collectively “FATCA”) on any “withholdable payment” payable to such recipient as a result of the failure of such recipient to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA after December 31, 2012 (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i)    pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

 

- 46 -


(ii)    promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii)    pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b)    Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c)    Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes or the Administrative Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes, if such Lender, such Participant or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

 

- 47 -


(d)    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

ARTICLE IV. BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES

Section 4.1. Eligibility of Properties.

(a)    Initial Borrowing Base Assets. As of the date hereof, the Lenders have approved for inclusion in calculations of the Borrowing Base (i) the Properties identified on Schedule 4.1., as well as the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value initially attributable to each such Property and the (ii) Mortgage Receivables identified on such Schedule.

(b)    Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Eligible Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)    An operating statement for such Property certified by a representative of the Borrower as being true and correct in all material respects and prepared in accordance with GAAP, if available, and otherwise in accordance with tax basis accounting principles, for the previous two fiscal years and for the current fiscal year through the fiscal quarter most recently ended to the extent available if such Property was acquired by the Borrower or a Subsidiary within the last 2 years;

(ii)    A pro-forma operating statement or an operating budget for such Property for the current and immediately following fiscal year; provided, however, if such Property is subject to a Triple Net Lease, then only a 12-month forward rent roll shall be required;

(iii)    An executive summary of the Property including, at a minimum, the following information relating to such Property: (A) a description of such Property, such description to include the age, location, survey, current occupancy rate and physical condition of such Property and (B) the current and projected condition of the regional market and specific submarket in which such Property is located, prepared by the Borrower, CoStar Group, Inc. or another similar market analysis company reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(iv)    A “Phase I” environmental assessment of such Property not more than 12 months old (or if such Property was previously subject to a Lien to secure Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Subsidiary and such Indebtedness was later satisfied in order to include such Property in the Borrowing Base, the most recently obtained “Phase I” obtained by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, so long as such “Phase I” was obtained within 3 years of the date of notification by the Borrower under this Section 4.1.(b), or such longer period, not to exceed 6 years of the date of notification by the Borrower under this Section 4.1(b), as approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and the Borrower certifies that the representation set forth in Section 7.1.(o) is true and correct as of the date of such notification), which report has been prepared by Environmental Management Group or another environmental engineering firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, including any “Phase II” environmental assessment prepared or recommended by such environmental engineering firm to be prepared for such Property;

 

- 48 -


(v)    A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of such Property;

(vi)    To the extent the owner of such Property is not the Borrower or already party to the Guaranty, such deliveries as are required pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof (which items shall be delivered, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor, prior to the date such Property is included as a Borrowing Base Property); and

(vi)    Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Property is an Eligible Property.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Property shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property.

(c)    Nonconforming Properties. If a Property which the Borrower wants to have included in calculations of the Borrowing Base does not satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Property, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent request that the Lenders nevertheless include such Property as a Borrowing Base Property. Such written notice shall set forth in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent a detailed description of each criteria set forth in the definition of Eligible Property which such Property fails to satisfy and the extent or manner in which it failed to satisfy such criteria (the “Nonconforming Features”). The Administrative Agent shall forward any such notice to the Lenders promptly upon receipt. In connection therewith, the Borrower shall deliver the information required by the immediately preceding subsection (b) to each of the Lenders. A Property shall become a Borrowing Base Property under this subsection only upon the approval of the Requisite Lenders, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)    Additional Unencumbered Mortgage Receivables. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Mortgage Receivable be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)    Copies of the documents, instruments and agreements evidencing such Mortgage Receivable;

(ii)    Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that (x) the Lien securing such Mortgage Receivable is a first priority Lien and (y) establishes the amount of Indebtedness secured by the Lien securing such Mortgage Receivable and the Value of the property encumbered by such Lien;

(iii)     A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the amount of such Mortgage Receivable; and

(iii)    Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Mortgage Receivable qualifies as an Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable.

 

- 49 -


Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items, such Mortgage Receivable shall be deemed to be an Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable.

Section 4.2. Release of Properties.

From time to time the Borrower may request, upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), that a Borrowing Base Asset be no longer considered a Borrowing Base Asset, which release (a “Property Release”) shall be effected by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent determines all of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Property Release:

(a)    No Default or Event of Default exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to such Property Release and the reduction in the Borrowing Base by reason of such Property Release;

(b)    The representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such Property Removal with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent (i) that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date), and (ii) of changes in factual circumstances resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents;

(c)    The Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate and Compliance Certificate demonstrating on a pro forma basis, and the Administrative Agent shall have determined to its reasonable satisfaction, that after giving effect to such request and any prepayment of the Loans or other Indebtedness to be made and/or the acceptance of any Property, Mortgage Receivable or cash or cash equivalents as an additional or replacement Borrowing Base Asset to be given concurrently with such request, that the Borrower will be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 10.1. after giving effect to the Property Release; and

(d)    After giving effect to such Property Release, the number of Borrowing Base Properties shall be at least 35, and the aggregate Unencumbered Eligible Property Values of such Borrowing Base Properties shall be at least $150,000,000. Delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a request for a Property Release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request.

Section 4.3. Frequency of Calculations of Borrowing Base.

Initially, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered under Section 6.1. Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered from time to time under Sections 4.1., 4.2.(c) and 9.4.(d). Any increase in the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of a Borrowing Base Property shall become effective as of the next determination of the Borrowing Base as provided in this Section.

 

- 50 -


ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)    Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender to the extent that such Lender determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s obligations hereunder.

(b)    Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining Adjusted LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(c)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

 

- 51 -


(d)    Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to the Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of the Issuing Bank and/or a Lender, also to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender or the Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section and reasonably detailed calculations of the amount of such compensation. Determinations by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(f)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent, a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

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

(a)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR or Adjusted LIBOR; or

 

- 52 -


(b)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative 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 prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(a)    any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

- 53 -


Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1., Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

All written information, reports and other papers and data (other than financial projections and other forward looking statements) furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary were, at the time the same were so furnished (including times prior to the Agreement Date in respect of any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party prior to the Agreement Date and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the underwriting or closing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), complete and correct in all material respects, to the extent necessary to give the recipient a true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter, or, in the case of financial statements, present fairly, in accordance with tax basis accounting principles for periods ending on or before September 30, 2011, and GAAP thereafter, consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year end audit adjustments and absence of full footnote disclosure). All financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have been or may hereafter be made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared in good faith based on assumptions that the Borrower, other Loan Party or other Subsidiary believed to be reasonable in light of the circumstances in which such financial projections and forward-looking statements were made (it being acknowledged that projections and forward-looking statements are not viewed as facts and the actual results may vary materially from projected results and that no assurance can be given that the projected results will be realized). No fact is known to any Loan Party which has had, or may in the future have (so far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1.(k) or in such information, reports or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No document furnished or written statement made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

Assuming that no Lender funds any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of credit and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

Section 7.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties, Etc.

All representations and warranties made under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and as of the Agreement Date, the Effective Date, and the date on which any extension of the Revolving Termination Date and/or Term Loan Maturity Date is effectuated pursuant to Section 2.12., the date on which any increase of the Revolving Commitments is effectuated pursuant to Section 2.14., and at and as of the date of the occurrence of each Credit Event, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances expressly and specifically permitted hereunder.

(f)    The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such reasonable fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 11.7. Performance by Administrative Agent.

If the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower and after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein (if no specific notice and cure or grace period is expressly set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, then 3 Business Days after the Borrower receives written notice from the Administrative Agent), perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Parent, the Borrower or such other Loan Party. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8. Rights Cumulative.

(a)    Generally. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

 

- 83 -


(b)    Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Issuing Bank, from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Issuing Bank) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

ARTICLE XII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Parent and the Borrower are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Parent, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be

 

- 84 -


required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 12.2. M&T as Lender.

M&T, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include M&T in each case in its individual capacity. M&T and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledge that, the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by M&T (or any other Person serving as the Administrative Agent) or its Affiliates in any capacity.

Section 12.3. Reserved.

Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Parent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any

 

- 85 -


action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Lender acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Parent, the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or the Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 12.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the

 

- 86 -


Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 12.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or the Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or the Issuing Bank.

Section 12.8. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(B)    in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan subject to such assignment (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment and $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Revolving Commitment held by such assigning Revolving Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans or $1,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan, then such assigning Revolving Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it and such assigning Term Loan Lender shall assign the entire amount of the Term Loan owing to it.

(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment by a Revolving Lender shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Revolving Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Loan and Revolving Commitment assigned, and each partial assignment of a Term Loan Lender shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Term Loan Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan assigned; provided that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans and its Term Loan on a non rata basis.

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)    the consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.

 

- 93 -


(iv)    Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the Assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Revolving Notes and/or Term Notes, as applicable, are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

(v)    No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parents or the Borrower’s respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(v)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

 

- 94 -


(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or portions thereof owing to such Lender (except as otherwise contemplated under Section 2.9., (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 5.1. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(c) as though it were a Lender.

 

- 95 -


(f)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)    No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Subject to the immediately following subsection (c), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Revolving Lenders, and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, and only with, the written consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto). Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations of the Term Loan Lenders, and not any other Lenders, may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any such terms may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Term Loan Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto).

(i)    increase the Revolving Commitment of such Lender (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Revolving Commitments permitted under Section 13.6. and any increases contemplated under Section 2.14.) or subject such Lender to any additional obligations;

 

- 96 -


(ii)    reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender;

(iii)    reduce the amount of any Fees payable to such Lender hereunder;

(iv)    modify the definitions of “Revolving Termination Date” or “Term Loan Maturity Date (except in accordance with Section 2.12.), or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations, or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Termination Date; or

(v)    amend or otherwise modify the definition of “Revolving Commitment Percentage” or “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.;

(vi)    release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by Section 8.12.;

(viii)    amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section;

(ix)    waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a); or

(e)    Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3. or the obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Issuing Bank. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section (such waiver not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Parent or the Borrower shall entitle the Parent or the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(f)    Replacement of Dissenting Lender. If a Lender does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which, pursuant to Section 13.7.(c), requires the vote of such Lender, and all of the other Lenders shall have voted in favor of

 

- 97 -


such amendment, modification or waiver, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 13.8. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Parent or the Borrower to review or inform the Parent or the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Parent’s or the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 13.9. Confidentiality.

As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.10. Indemnification.

(a)    The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, all of the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders, and their respective Related Parties (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding Indemnified Costs indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.10. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender as a result of conduct

(b)    The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any Loan Party, any shareholder of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.

(d)    All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e)    An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

11


immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment shall be allocated among the Lenders such that, immediately after the effectiveness of this Amendment in accordance with its terms, the Revolving Commitment of, and Term Loans held by, each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. In order to effect such reallocations, assignments shall be deemed to be made among the Lenders in such amounts as may be necessary, and with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by the applicable Assignment and Assumption (but without the payment of any related assignment fee), and no other documents or instruments shall be required to be executed in connection with such assignments (all of which such requirements are hereby waived). Further, to effect the foregoing, each Lender agrees to make cash settlements in respect of any outstanding Revolving Loans and Term Loans (including cash settlements to those lenders party to the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment who have elected not to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement on the date that this Amendment becomes effective), either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to any netting effected by the Administrative Agent), such that after giving effect to this Amendment, each Lender holds (a) Revolving Loans equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (based on the Revolving Commitment of each Lender as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto) of the Revolving Loans then outstanding and participations in Letters of Credit and (b) Term Loans in the principal amount set forth on Schedule I attached hereto for such Lender.

The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender confirm that the amounts of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment to be effective, and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans to be held by each Lender, in each case, on the date this Amendment becomes effective, are as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 4. Representations. Each of the Parent and the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(a) Authorization. This Amendment has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action of the Borrower and all corporate action of the Parent, and the Parent has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the Borrower this Amendment. Each of the Borrower and the Parent has the requisite power and authority to perform this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and the Parent and each of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and the Parent enforceable against the Borrower and the Parent in accordance with their respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited by equitable principles generally.

(b) Compliance with Laws, etc. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Parent of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower and the Parent of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or

 

12

(c) No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof, nor will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.

Section 5. Reaffirmation of Representations by Borrower and Parent. Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby repeats and reaffirms all representations and warranties made by the Parent and the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party on and as of the date hereof with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this Amendment in full, other than the representation as to the good standing of the Parent in the State of Maryland. Upon filing the “Personal Property Return as of January 1, 2014 Due April 15, 2014” attached hereto as Exhibit B with the State of Maryland, Department of Assessments and Taxation, Personal Property Division and payment of the $300 filing fee, the Parent will be in good standing in the State of Maryland.

Section 6. Good Standing of Parent. No later than the date that is 5 Business Days after the date that this Amendment becomes effective (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of good standing (or certificate of similar meaning) with respect to the Parent issued as of a recent date by the Secretary of State of the State of Maryland. Failure to comply with this covenant shall constitute an Event of Default.

Section 7. Waiver of Prepayment Notice and Notice of Borrowing. Each Lender waives the requirement that the Borrower (i) have provided 3 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent for prepayment of Term Loans in the amount of $50,000,000 on the date of the effectiveness of this Amendment and (ii) with respect to any borrowing on the date of the effectiveness of this Amendment of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, have delivered a Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowing at least 3 Business Days prior to the borrowing of such Revolving Loans so long as a Notice of Revolving for such Revolving Loans is delivered at least 1 Business Day prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment.

Section 9. Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable

 

13


attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith.

Section 10. Benefits. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 12. Effect. Except as expressly herein amended, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. The amendments contained in Section 1 hereof shall be deemed to have prospective application only from the date this Amendment becomes effective. The Credit Agreement, as herein amended, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Nothing in this Amendment shall limit, impair or constitute a waiver of the rights, powers or remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, as herein amended, or any other Loan Document.

Section 13. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties, their successors and assigns.

Section 14. Loan Documents. This Amendment and the executed Guarantor Acknowledgement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A shall be deemed to be “Loan Documents” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Applicable Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other applicable regulator require to be maintained by such member banks with respect to (a) any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which Adjusted LIBOR or any other interest rate of a Loan is to be determined, or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which include LIBOR Loans. A LIBOR Loan shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credit for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to the applicable Lender. The rate of interest on LIBOR Loans shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Applicable Reserve Requirement.

Capitalization Rate” means 7.75%.

Financial Officer” means with respect to the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer, the chief operating officer, if any, and the vice president of finance of the Parent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary.

Investment Grade Rating Date” means, at any time after the Borrower has received an Investment Grade Rating from any Rating Agency, the date specified by the Borrower as the date on which the Borrower irrevocably elects, in a written notice to the Administrative Agent, to have the Applicable Margin based on the Borrower’s Credit Rating and to have the facility fee set forth in Section 3.5.(c) based on such Investment Grade Rating.

LIBOR” means, for any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan, the rate appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such service or if such page or service ceases to display such information from such other service or method as the Administrative Agent may select) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period; provided that if the rate is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

into which the Borrower’s Credit Rating then falls. Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating, as applicable, which would cause it to move to a different Level shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.4.(r) that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required by such Section but the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed. During any period that the Borrower has received two Credit Ratings that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the higher of such Credit Ratings (with Level 1 being the highest and Level 5 being the lowest). During any period for which the Borrower, as applicable, has received a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on such Credit Rating.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such excess was caused by a change in the Applicable Mortgage Constant and the Applicable Mortgage Constant exceeds 14% for 14 consecutive days, then, until the date that the Applicable Mortgage Constant falls below 14%, the Applicable Mortgage Constant for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to be an average of the Applicable Mortgage Constant for each day determined for the 30 day period ending on such date of determination.

(f) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 2.13.(b) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(j) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 5.1.(a) thereof in its entirety as follows:

None of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries is, or derives any of its assets or operating income from investments in or transactions with, a Sanctioned Person and, to the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower, none of the respective directors, officers, employees or agents of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a Sanctioned Person.

(f) Prior to February 1 of each year prior to the later of the Revolving Termination Date and the Term Loan Maturity Date, a property budget for each Borrowing Base Property for the coming fiscal year of the Parent; provided, however, if such Borrowing Base Property is subject to a Triple Net Lease, then only a 12-month forward rent roll shall be required;

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Parent and the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender is required to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as Administrative Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and the Parent and the Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, provide to such Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.


(r) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 10.2. thereof in its entirety as follows:

(b) Neither the Parent nor the Borrower, and neither the Parent nor the Borrower shall permit any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to, create, assume, or incur any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its properties, assets, income or profits of any character whether now owned or hereafter acquired if immediately prior to the creation, assumption or incurring of such Lien, or immediately thereafter, a Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence, including without limitation, a Default or Event of Default resulting from a violation of any of the covenants contained in Section 10.1.

(c) If any Borrowing Base Asset becomes subject to a Lien causing such Borrowing Base Asset to no longer satisfy the definition of Eligible Property, Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable or Unencumbered Cash, as applicable, then the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary shall cause the Obligations to be secured equally and ratably with all other obligations secured by such Lien, and in any case the Lenders shall have the benefit, to the full extent that and with such priority as, the Lenders may be entitled under Applicable Law, of an equitable Lien on such Borrowing Base Asset as security for the Obligations. The grant of a Lien pursuant to this Section 10.2.(c) shall not be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default occurring as a result of such Borrowing Base Asset becoming subject to such Lien.

(s) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 10.3.(i) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(i)    with respect to clauses (a) through (d), those encumbrances or restrictions contained in (x) any Loan Document, (y) the Existing Term Loan Agreements or (z) any other agreement (A) evidencing Indebtedness that is not Secured Indebtedness which the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary may create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist under this Agreement and (B) containing encumbrances and restrictions imposed in connection with such Indebtedness that are either substantially similar to, or less restrictive than, the encumbrances and restrictions set forth in this Agreement;”

(t) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 11.1.(b)(i) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(i) Any Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be performed or observed and contained in Section 8.1. (solely with respect to the existence of the Borrower), Section 8.13., Article IX. or Article X.; or


(u) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 11.1.(d)(iii) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(iii) Any other event shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable grace and cure periods, which, with or without the passage of time, the giving of notice, or otherwise, would permit any holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness, any trustee or agent acting on behalf of such holder or holders or any other Person, to accelerate the maturity of any such Material Indebtedness or require any such Material Indebtedness to be prepaid or repurchased prior to its stated maturity (other than a mandatory prepayment resulting from the voluntary sale or condemnation of, or a casualty event with respect to, any Property securing such Material Indebtedness; provided that such sale, condemnation or event does not otherwise cause a Default or Event of Default hereunder and, with respect to any condemnation or casualty event, the Parent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary receives insurance proceeds with respect to such Property in an amount sufficient to repay such Material Indebtedness).

(v) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 11.1.(l)(ii) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(ii) During any period of 12 consecutive months ending after the Agreement Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period constituted the Board of Directors of the Parent (together with any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Parent was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent then in office;

(w) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 12.1. thereof in its entirety as follows:

Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The


Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Parent and the Borrower are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Parent, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required by the Loan Documents, all Lenders) have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

(x) The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following to the end of Section 13.10.(a) thereof:

“No Indemnified Party referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.”

(y) The Term Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the reference to “Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2. and 13.10.” in Section 13.11. thereof and replacing it with “Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2., 13.3. and 13.10.”.

(z) The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 13.17. thereof in its entirety as follows:

Section 13.17. Limitation of Liability.

None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any


claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Parent or the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment, is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(b) Compliance with Laws, etc. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Parent of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower and the Parent of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) require any Governmental Approvals or violate any Applicable Laws (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties are bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition


of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders.

(c) No Default. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof, nor will exist immediately after giving effect to this Amendment.

Section 8. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 9. Effect. Except as expressly herein amended, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. The amendment contained in Section 1 hereof shall be deemed to have prospective application only from the date this Amendment becomes effective. The Credit Agreement, as herein amended, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Nothing in this Amendment shall limit, impair or constitute a waiver of the rights, powers or remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, as herein amended, or any other Loan Document.

(the “Parent”), each of the Lenders party hereto and MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Parent, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 2, 2012 (as amended including by (i) that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2014 by and among the Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto, (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Agreement Regarding Commitment Increases and Additional Term Loans dated as of December 22, 2014 by and among the Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto, and (iii) that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2015 by and among the Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto, and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a)    The Credit Agreement is amended by amending and restating the following definitions contained in Section 1.1. thereof in their entirety as follows:

Defaulting Lender” means, subject to Section 3.9.(f), any Lender that (a) has failed to (i) fund all or any portion of a Loan to be made by it within 2 Business Days of the date such Loan was required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied, or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder (including in respect of its participation in Letters of Credit) within 2 Business Days of the date when due, (b) has notified the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund its Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied), (c) has failed, within 3 Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder, or (d) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (ii) had


appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity, or (iii) become the subject of a Bail-In Action; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States of America or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender. Any determination by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a) through (d) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 3.9.(f)) upon delivery of written notice of such determination to the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and each Lender.

Tangible Net Worth means, as of a given date, stockholders’ equity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis plus increases in accumulated depreciation and amortization accrued after December 31, 2014, minus (to the extent included when determining stockholders’ equity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries): (a) the amount of any write-up in the book value of any assets reflected in any balance sheet resulting from revaluation thereof or any write-up in excess of the cost of such assets acquired, and (b) the aggregate of all amounts appearing on the assets side of any such balance sheet for franchises, licenses, permits, patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, goodwill, treasury stock, experimental or organizational expenses and other like assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP (other than lease intangible assets, net of lease intangible liabilities), all determined on a consolidated basis.

(b)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following definitions to Section 1.1. thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable EEA Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an EEA Financial Institution.

Bail-In Legislation” means, with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

EEA Financial Institution” means (a) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority, (b) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (a) of this definition, or (c) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (a) or (b) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent.

EEA Member Country” means any of the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.


EEA Resolution Authority” means any public administrative authority or any person entrusted with public administrative authority of any EEA Member Country (including any delegee) having responsibility for the resolution of any EEA Financial Institution.

EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule” means the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule published by the Loan Market Association (or any successor person), as in effect from time to time.

Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

(c)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by removing Section 3.8. in its entirety.

(d)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 4.1.(b) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(b)    Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Eligible Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)    An executive summary of the Property including, at a minimum, the following information relating to such Property: (A) a description of such Property, such description to include the age, location, survey, current occupancy rate and physical condition of such Property, (B) a 12-month forward rent roll if not included in the schedules attached to the Borrowing Base Certificate;

(ii)    A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of such Property;

(iii)    To the extent the owner of such Property is not the Borrower or already party to the Guaranty, such deliveries as are required pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof (which items shall be delivered, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor, prior to the date such Property is included as a Borrowing Base Property); and

(iv)    Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Property is an Eligible Property.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Property shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property.


(e)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by amending and restating Section 3.9(d) in its entirety as follows:

(d)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 13.21., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(f)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following at the end of Section 7.1. thereof:

(bb)    None of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is an EEA Financial Institution.

(g)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following new Section 13.21.:

Section 13.21. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or


(iii)     the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

(b)    Compliance with Laws, etc. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Parent of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower and the Parent of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) require any Governmental Approvals or violate any Applicable Laws (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties are bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders.

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of December 23, 2016, by and among BROADSTONE NET LEASE, LLC (the “Borrower”), BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC. (the “Parent”), each of the Lenders party hereto and MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Parent, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 2, 2012 (as amended including by (i) that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2014, (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Agreement Regarding Commitment Increases and Additional Term Loans dated as of December 22, 2014, (iii) that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2015, and (iv) that certain Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2016, in each case, by and among the Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto, and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a)    The Credit Agreement is amended by amending and restating the definition of “LIBOR” contained in Section 1.1. thereof in its entirety as follows:

LIBOR” means, for any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan, the rate appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such service or if such page or service ceases to display such information from such other service or method as the Administrative Agent may select) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period; provided that if the rate determined as provided above would be less than zero, then (a) with respect to a Term Loan, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement if and only if the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR (collectively, “Term LIBOR Debt”) exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps at any time during such Interest Period; and (b) with respect to a Revolving Loan, if at any time during such Interest Period the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeds the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement for the portion of such Revolving Loan equal to the amount of such Revolving Loan multiplied by the ratio of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest


at a rate based on LIBOR minus the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps to (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR minus Term LIBOR Debt.

(b)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following definitions to Section 1.1. thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

Term LIBOR Debt” has the meaning given that term in the definition of the term “LIBOR.”

Qualifying Swap” means any interest rate swap transaction that (i) trades floating rate interest for fixed rate interest, (ii) was entered into as a hedge against fluctuations in interest rates in respect of Borrower’s Indebtedness that bears interest at a rate based on LIBOR, and (iii) the parties to such interest rate swap transaction have not elected the “Zero Interest Rate Method” in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement governing such interest rate swap transaction.

(c)    The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 9.3. thereof in its entirety as follows:

Section 9.3. Compliance Certificate.

At the time the financial statements are furnished pursuant to Sections 9.1. and 9.2., a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Compliance Certificate”) executed on behalf of the Parent by a Financial Officer of the Parent (a) setting forth a reasonably detailed list of all Eligible Properties which the Borrower has included in calculations of Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value for the fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate; (b) setting forth in reasonable detail as of the end of such quarterly accounting period or fiscal year, as the case may be, the calculations required to establish whether the Parent was in compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.1.; (c) setting forth in reasonable detail as of the end of such quarterly accounting period or fiscal year, as the case may be, (i) all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps and the notional amounts thereof, (ii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, (iii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, together with the amount of such excess during any such period; and (d) stating that no Default or Event of Default exists, or, if such is not the case, specifying such Default or Event of Default and its nature, when it occurred and the steps being taken by the Parent and/or the Borrower with respect to such event, condition or failure.

(d)    Exhibit G to the Credit Agreement is amended by amending and restating paragraph 2 thereof in its entirety as follows:

2.    Schedule 1 attached hereto accurately and completely (a) sets forth reasonably detailed calculations required to establish compliance with Section 10.1. of the Credit Agreement and (b) setting forth in reasonable detail (i) all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps and the notional amounts thereof, (ii) each period, if any, during which

 

2


the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, (iii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, together with the amount of such excess during any such period.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment, is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

WHEREAS, the Lenders desire to make available to the Borrower a term loan facility in an initial amount of $50,000,000 on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

Agreement Date” means the date as of which this Agreement is dated.

Applicable Law” means all applicable international, foreign, federal, state and local statutes, treaties, rules, guidelines, regulations, ordinances, codes, executive orders, and administrative or judicial


precedents or authorities, including the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the enforcement, interpretation or administration thereof, and all applicable administrative orders, directed duties, licenses, authorizations and permits of, and agreements with, any Governmental Authority, in each case whether or not having the force of law.

Applicable Margin” means:

Less than or equal to 0.45 to 1.00

    1.750     0.750

2

 

Greater than 0.45 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 0.50 to 1.00

    1.950     0.950

The Applicable Margin for Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time, based on the ratio of Total Outstanding Indebtedness to Total Market Value 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 as of the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month during which the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent the applicable Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 9.3. If the Borrower fails to deliver a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 9.3., the Applicable Margin shall equal the percentages corresponding to Level 4 until the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month that the required Compliance Certificate is delivered. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, for the period from the Effective Date through but excluding the first day of the calendar month immediately following the month during which the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent the applicable Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 9.3., the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 2. Thereafter, such Applicable Margin shall be adjusted from time to time as set forth in this definition. The provisions of this definition shall be subject to Section 2.4.(c).

(b)    On, and at all times after, the Investment Grade Rating Date, the percentage rate set forth in the table below corresponding to the level (each a “Level”) into which the Borrower’s Credit Rating then falls. Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating which would cause it to move to a different Level shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice delivered by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.4.(q) that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed; provided, however, if the Borrower has not delivered the notice required by such Section but the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date

 

- 2 -


the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed. During any period that the Borrower has received two Credit Ratings that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the higher of such Credit Ratings. During any period that the Borrower has received a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be based upon such Credit Rating (with Level 1 being the highest and Level 4 being the lowest). During any period after the Investment Grade Rating Date that the Borrower has not received a Credit Rating from either Rating Agency, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 4. The provisions of this clause shall be subject to Section 2.4.(c).

Applicable Reserve Requirement” means, at any time, for any LIBOR Loan, the maximum rate, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including any basic marginal, special, supplemental, emergency or other reserves) are required to be maintained with respect thereto against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is defined in Regulation D) under regulations issued from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other applicable banking regulator. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Applicable Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other applicable regulator require to be maintained by such member banks with respect to (a) any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which Adjusted LIBOR or any other interest rate of a Loan is to be determined, or (b) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which include LIBOR Loans. A LIBOR Loan shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credit for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to the applicable Lender. The rate of interest on LIBOR Loans shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Applicable Reserve Requirement.

- 3 -


the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms hereof, the Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (a) of the first sentence of this definition until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate, respectively.

Base Rate Loan” means any portion of a Loan bearing interest at a rate based on the Base Rate.

Benefit Arrangement” means at any time an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA which is not a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan and which is maintained or otherwise contributed to by any member of the ERISA Group.

Borrower Information” has the meaning given that term in Section 2.4.(c).

Borrowing Base” means, at any time of determination, 57.5%, and, if the definition of “Borrowing Base” under the Existing Credit Agreement is at any time amended to increase the corresponding percentage in the definition of “Borrowing Base” in the Existing Credit Agreement to 60.0% (the “Borrowing Base Amendment”), then at all times thereafter whether or not the Existing Credit Agreement remains in effect, 60.0% of the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of the Unencumbered Eligible Property Values for all Borrowing Base Properties at such time plus (ii) the amount of Unencumbered Mortgage Receivables plus (iii) the amount of Unencumbered Cash; provided, however, that:

(b)    to the extent the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to Borrowing Base Properties located in the same Metropolitan Statistical Area would exceed the applicable Geographical Percentage Limitation of the Borrowing Base, such excess shall be excluded;

(c)    to the extent the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to Borrowing Base Properties located in the same State or in the District of Columbia would exceed the applicable Geographical Percentage Limitation of the Borrowing Base, such excess shall be excluded;

(d)    to the extent the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to Borrowing Base Properties that are used for the same use as convenience stores, restaurants, medical offices, retail, industrial or specialty office would exceed 50.0% of the Borrowing Base, such excess shall be excluded;

(e)    to the extent the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to Borrowing Base Properties that are unoccupied would exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base, such excess shall be excluded;

(f)    in the case of an Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable, if the amount of Indebtedness secured by the Lien securing such Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable exceeds 65.0% of the Value of the property encumbered by such Lien, then the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to such Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable shall be limited to 65.0% of the Value of such property; for purposes of this clause (f), the term “Value” means, with respect to a property encumbered by a Lien securing an Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable, the lesser of (i) the appraised value of such property or (ii) the Net Operating Income of such property for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended (or such shorter period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) divided by the Capitalization Rate; and

 

- 4 -


(g)    to the extent the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to either Unencumbered Mortgage Receivables or Unencumbered Cash would exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, such excess shall be excluded.

(a)    Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default specified in Sections 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) exists or, if required by the Requisite Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Note held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

- 26 -


is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent such excess was caused by a change in the Applicable Mortgage Constant and the Applicable Mortgage Constant exceeds 14% for 14 consecutive days, then, until the date that the Applicable Mortgage Constant falls below 14%, the Applicable Mortgage Constant for purposes of this Section shall be deemed to be an average of the Applicable Mortgage Constant for each day determined for the 30 day period ending on such date of determination.

Section 3.8. Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower periodically, but no less than once every fiscal quarter, with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a

 

- 33 -


result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(c)    [Intentionally Omitted].

(d)    [Intentionally Omitted].

(e)    [Intentionally Omitted].

(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g)    [Intentionally Omitted].

(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Loans. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $5000. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, except the Defaulting Lender as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 3.10. Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a)    Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or

 

- 34 -


future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, and (v) any taxes imposed by Sections 1471 through Section 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (including any official interpretations thereof, collectively “FATCA”) on any “withholdable payment” payable to such recipient as a result of the failure of such recipient to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA after December 31, 2012 (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i)    pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii)    promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii)    pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b)    Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c)    Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Lender or Participant shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to

 

- 35 -


any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes or the Administrative Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes, if such Lender, such Participant or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(d)    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

ARTICLE IV. BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES

Section 4.1. Eligibility of Properties.

(a)    Initial Borrowing Base Assets. As of the date hereof, the Lenders have approved for inclusion in calculations of the Borrowing Base (i) the Properties identified on Schedule 4.1., as well as the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value initially attributable to each such Property and the (ii) Mortgage Receivables identified on such Schedule.

(b)    Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Eligible Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)    An operating statement for such Property certified by a representative of the Borrower as being true and correct in all material respects and prepared in accordance with GAAP, if available, and otherwise in accordance with tax basis accounting principles, for the previous two fiscal years and for the current fiscal year through the fiscal quarter most recently ended to the extent available if such Property was acquired by the Borrower or a Subsidiary within the last 2 years;

(ii)    A pro-forma operating statement or an operating budget for such Property for the current and immediately following fiscal year; provided, however, if such Property is subject to a Triple Net Lease, then only a 12-month forward rent roll shall be required;

(iii)    An executive summary of the Property including, at a minimum, the following information relating to such Property: (A) a description of such Property, such description to

 

- 36 -


include the age, location, survey, current occupancy rate and physical condition of such Property and (B) the current and projected condition of the regional market and specific submarket in which such Property is located, prepared by the Borrower, CoStar Group, Inc. or another similar market analysis company reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;

(iv)    A “Phase I” environmental assessment of such Property not more than 12 months old (or if such Property was previously subject to a Lien to secure Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Subsidiary and such Indebtedness was later satisfied in order to include such Property in the Borrowing Base, the most recently obtained “Phase I” obtained by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, so long as such “Phase I” was obtained within 3 years of the date of notification by the Borrower under this Section 4.1.(b), or such longer period, not to exceed 6 years of the date of notification by the Borrower under this Section 4.1(b), as approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and the Borrower certifies that the representation set forth in Section 7.1.(o) is true and correct as of the date of such notification), which report has been prepared by Environmental Management Group or another environmental engineering firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, including any “Phase II” environmental assessment prepared or recommended by such environmental engineering firm to be prepared for such Property;

(v)    A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of such Property;

(vi)    To the extent the owner of such Property is not the Borrower or already party to the Guaranty, such deliveries as are required pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof (which items shall be delivered, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor, prior to the date such Property is included as a Borrowing Base Property); and

(vii)    Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Property is an Eligible Property.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Property shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property.

(c)    Nonconforming Properties. If a Property which the Borrower wants to have included in calculations of the Borrowing Base does not satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Property, the Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent request that the Lenders nevertheless include such Property as a Borrowing Base Property. Such written notice shall set forth in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent a detailed description of each criteria set forth in the definition of Eligible Property which such Property fails to satisfy and the extent or manner in which it failed to satisfy such criteria (the “Nonconforming Features”). The Administrative Agent shall forward any such notice to the Lenders promptly upon receipt. In connection therewith, the Borrower shall deliver the information required by the immediately preceding subsection (b) to each of the Lenders. A Property shall become a Borrowing Base Property under this subsection only upon the approval of the Requisite Lenders, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)    Additional Unencumbered Mortgage Receivables. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Mortgage Receivable be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)    Copies of the documents, instruments and agreements evidencing such Mortgage Receivable;

 

- 37 -


(ii)    Evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that (x) the Lien securing such Mortgage Receivable is a first priority Lien and (y) establishes the amount of Indebtedness secured by the Lien securing such Mortgage Receivable and the Value of the property encumbered by such Lien;

(iii)     A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the amount of such Mortgage Receivable; and

(iv)    Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Mortgage Receivable qualifies as an Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items, such Mortgage Receivable shall be deemed to be an Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable.

Section 4.2. Release of Properties.

From time to time the Borrower may request, upon not less than 10 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), that a Borrowing Base Asset be no longer considered a Borrowing Base Asset, which release (a “Property Release”) shall be effected by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent determines all of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Property Release:

(a)    No Default or Event of Default exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to such Property Release and the reduction in the Borrowing Base by reason of such Property Release;

(b)    The representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such Property Removal with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent (i) that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date), and (ii) of changes in factual circumstances resulting from transactions permitted by the Loan Documents;

(c)    The Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate and Compliance Certificate demonstrating on a pro forma basis, and the Administrative Agent shall have determined to its reasonable satisfaction, that after giving effect to such request and any prepayment of the Loans or other Indebtedness to be made and/or the acceptance of any Property, Mortgage Receivable or cash or cash equivalents as an additional or replacement Borrowing Base Asset to be given concurrently with such request, that the Borrower will be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 10.1. after giving effect to the Property Release; and

(d)    After giving effect to such Property Release, the number of Borrowing Base Properties shall be at least 50, and the aggregate Unencumbered Eligible Property Values of such Borrowing Base Properties shall be at least $200,000,000. Delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a

 

- 38 -


request for a Property Release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (a) and (b) (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with respect to such request.

Section 4.3. Frequency of Calculations of Borrowing Base.

Initially, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered under Section 6.1. Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered from time to time under Sections 4.1., 4.2.(c) and 9.4.(d). Any increase in the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of a Borrowing Base Property shall become effective as of the next determination of the Borrowing Base as provided in this Section.

ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)    Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender to the extent that such Lender determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s obligations hereunder.

(b)    Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining Adjusted LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

 

- 39 -


(c)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(d)    [Intentionally Omitted].

(e)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, also to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section and reasonably detailed calculations of the amount of such compensation. Determinations by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(f)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

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

(a)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR or Adjusted LIBOR; or

(b)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

 

- 40 -


then the Administrative 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, 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 prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to Continue or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(a)    any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to Continue or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR

 

- 41 -


Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1., Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)    any portion of such Lender’s Loans that would otherwise be Continued by such Lender as a LIBOR Loan shall be Continued instead as a Base Rate Loan, and any Base Rate Loan of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into a LIBOR Loans shall remain as a Base Rate Loan.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amount of the Loan held by each Lender.

Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.3.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any titled agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

 

- 42 -


Section 5.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

The use of such Intellectual Property by the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

- 65 -


(iii)    Any other event shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable grace and cure periods, which, with or without the passage of time, the giving of notice, or otherwise, would permit any holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness, any trustee or agent acting on behalf of such holder or holders or any other Person, to accelerate the maturity of any such Material Indebtedness or require any such Material Indebtedness to be prepaid or repurchased prior to its stated maturity (other than a mandatory prepayment resulting from the voluntary sale or condemnation of, or a casualty event with respect to, any Property securing such Material Indebtedness; provided that such sale, condemnation or event does not otherwise cause a Default or Event of Default hereunder and, with respect to any condemnation or casualty event, the Parent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary receives insurance proceeds with respect to such Property in an amount sufficient to repay such Material Indebtedness).

(b)    Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4.

ARTICLE XII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other

 

- 70 -


than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Parent and the Borrower are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Parent, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 12.2. Regions as Lender.

Regions, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Regions in each case in its individual capacity. Regions and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by Regions (or any other Person serving as the Administrative Agent) or its Affiliates in any capacity.

Section 12.3. Reserved.

 

- 71 -


Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Parent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Lender acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Parent, the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 12.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense

 

- 72 -


or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 12.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,

 

- 73 -


continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.

Section 12.8. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 13.4. Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its reasonable discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the

 

- 76 -


provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 13.5. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)    THE PARENT, THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

- 77 -


(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (f) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)    Minimum Amounts.

(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)    in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $1,000,000 then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Loan at the time owing to it.

 

- 78 -


(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment of a Lender shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan assigned.

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv)    Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the Assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes, are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

(v)    No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parents or the Borrower’s respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance,

 

- 79 -


the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) decrease the amount of such Lender’s Loan, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or portions thereof owing to such Lender (except as otherwise contemplated under Section 2.9.), (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of

 

- 80 -


credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 5.1. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)    No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.7. Amendments and Waivers.

(a)    Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto.

(b)    Consent of Lenders Directly Affected. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of each such Lender), do any of the following:

(c)    Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section (such waiver not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Parent or the Borrower shall entitle the Parent or the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(d)    Replacement of Dissenting Lender. If a Lender does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which, pursuant to Section 13.7.(c), requires the vote of such Lender, and all of the other Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of the Loan then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender

 

- 82 -


shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 13.8. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Parent or the Borrower to review or inform the Parent or the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Parent’s or the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 13.9. Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Loan or participation therein or any Loan as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent or the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Parent or the Borrower.

- 83 -


Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.10. Indemnification.

(a)    The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, all of the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, and their respective Related Parties (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding Indemnified Costs indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.10. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that violates a sanction administered or enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Parent, the Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries (or their respective properties) (or the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Parent or the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

 

- 84 -


(b)    The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any Loan Party, any shareholder of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.

(e)    An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

(f)    If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 13.16. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 13.17. Limitation of Liability.

None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Parent or the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

WHEREAS, the Borrower, Parent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 24, 2013 (as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”), and desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Term Loan Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Term Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

(a)    The Term Loan Agreement is amended by amending and restating the following definitions contained in Section 1.1. thereof in their entirety as follows:

Defaulting Lender” means, subject to Section 3.9.(f), any Lender that (a) has failed to (i) fund all or any portion of a Loan to be made by it within 2 Business Days of the date such Loan was required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied, or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent or any Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder within 2 Business Days of the date when due, (b) has notified the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund its Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied), or (c) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (ii) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity, or (iii) become the subject of a Bail-In Action; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or


any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States of America or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender. Any determination by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a) through (c) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 3.9.(f)) upon delivery of written notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender.

Tangible Net Worth means, as of a given date, stockholders’ equity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis plus increases in accumulated depreciation and amortization accrued after December 31, 2014, minus (to the extent included when determining stockholders’ equity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries): (a) the amount of any write-up in the book value of any assets reflected in any balance sheet resulting from revaluation thereof or any write-up in excess of the cost of such assets acquired, and (b) the aggregate of all amounts appearing on the assets side of any such balance sheet for franchises, licenses, permits, patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, goodwill, treasury stock, experimental or organizational expenses and other like assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP (other than lease intangible assets, net of lease intangible liabilities), all determined on a consolidated basis.

(b)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following definitions to Section 1.1. thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable EEA Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an EEA Financial Institution.

Bail-In Legislation” means, with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

EEA Financial Institution” means (a) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority, (b) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (a) of this definition, or (c) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (a) or (b) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent.

EEA Member Country” means any of the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.

EEA Resolution Authority” means any public administrative authority or any person entrusted with public administrative authority of any EEA Member Country (including any delegee) having responsibility for the resolution of any EEA Financial Institution.

 

- 2 -


EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule” means the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule published by the Loan Market Association (or any successor person), as in effect from time to time.

Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

(c)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by removing Section 3.8. in its entirety.

(d)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by restating Section 4.1.(b) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(b)    Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Eligible Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i)    An executive summary of the Property including, at a minimum, the following information relating to such Property: (A) a description of such Property, such description to include the age, location, survey, current occupancy rate and physical condition of such Property, (B) a 12-month forward rent roll if not included in the schedules attached to the Borrowing Base Certificate;

(ii)    A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of such Property;

(iii)    To the extent the owner of such Property is not the Borrower or already party to the Guaranty, such deliveries as are required pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof (which items shall be delivered, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor, prior to the date such Property is included as a Borrowing Base Property); and

(iv)    Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Property is an Eligible Property.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Property shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property.

(e)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following at the end of Section 7.1. thereof:

(bb)    None of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is an EEA Financial Institution.

(f)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following new Section 13.21.:

THIS FOURTH AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of December 23, 2016, by and among BROADSTONE NET LEASE, LLC (the “Borrower”), BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC. (the “Parent”), each of the Lenders party hereto and REGIONS BANK, an Alabama state banking corporation, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Parent, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 24, 2013 (as amended including by (i) that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of October 11, 2013, (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2015, and (iii) that certain Third Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 30, 2016, in each case, by and among the Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto, and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Term Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Term Loan Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a)    The Term Loan Agreement is amended by amending and restating the definition of “LIBOR” contained in Section 1.1. thereof in its entirety as follows:

LIBOR” means, for any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan, the rate appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such service or if such page or service ceases to display such information from such other service or method as the Administrative Agent may select) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period; provided that if the rate determined as provided above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement if and only if the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps at any time during such Interest Period.

(b)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following definition to Section 1.1. thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

Qualifying Swap” means any interest rate swap transaction that (i) trades floating rate interest for fixed rate interest, (ii) was entered into as a hedge against fluctuations in interest rates in respect of Borrower’s Indebtedness that bears interest at a rate based on LIBOR, and (iii) the parties to such interest rate swap transaction have not elected the “Zero Interest Rate Method” in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement governing such interest rate swap transaction.


(c)    The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by restating Section 9.3. thereof in its entirety as follows:

Section 9.3. Compliance Certificate.

At the time the financial statements are furnished pursuant to Sections 9.1. and 9.2., a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Compliance Certificate”) executed on behalf of the Parent by a Financial Officer of the Parent (a) setting forth a reasonably detailed list of all Eligible Properties which the Borrower has included in calculations of Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value for the fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate; (b) setting forth in reasonable detail as of the end of such quarterly accounting period or fiscal year, as the case may be, the calculations required to establish whether the Parent was in compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.1.; (c) setting forth in reasonable detail as of the end of such quarterly accounting period or fiscal year, as the case may be, (i) all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps and the notional amounts thereof, (ii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, (iii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, together with the amount of such excess during any such period; and (d) stating that no Default or Event of Default exists, or, if such is not the case, specifying such Default or Event of Default and its nature, when it occurred and the steps being taken by the Parent and/or the Borrower with respect to such event, condition or failure.

(d)    Exhibit G to the Term Loan Agreement is amended by amending and restating paragraph 2 thereof in its entirety as follows:

2.    Schedule 1 attached hereto accurately and completely (a) sets forth reasonably detailed calculations required to establish compliance with Section 10.1. of the Credit Agreement and (b) setting forth in reasonable detail (i) all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps and the notional amounts thereof, (ii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, (iii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, together with the amount of such excess during any such period.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment, is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

The parties understand that the Applicable Margin and rate per annum in respect of certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice.

The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 90 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Term Loan Maturity Date a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders if it receives an Extension Request promptly upon receipt thereof. Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Term Loan Maturity Date shall be extended for one year effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Extension Request and payment of the applicable fee referred to in the following clause (y): (x) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (B) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted under the Loan Documents, and (y) the Borrower shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(b). At any time prior to the effectiveness of any such extension, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from a Financial Officer certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (x)(A) and (x)(B).

Section 2.14. Additional Loans.

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time on not more than 3 different occasions during the period from the Availability Termination Date to but excluding the Term Loan Maturity Date to request additional Loans by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of all Loans hereunder shall not exceed $600,000,000 less the amount of any prepayments of the Term Loans. Each such increase in the Loans must be in the aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such additional Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the additional Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders, such Lenders and allocations to be mutually agreed upon by Administrative Agent and the Borrower and any approval of a Lender or allocation suggested by the one shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the other. Each Lender’s increase of the

principal amount of its Loans or decision to provide a new Loan shall be made in such Lender’s sole discretion, and no Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase the principal amount of its Loans or provide a new Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. Effecting the increase of the Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary (or other individual performing similar functions) of (A) all partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such increase and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iii) except in the case of any Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects not to receive a Note, new Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Lenders increasing the principal amount of their Loans, in the amount of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Loan. In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.14. any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a) Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

 

- 32 -


(b) Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans and each payment of fees under Section 3.5.(b)(ii) shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (c) each payment of the fees under Section 3.5.(c) shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments; (d) each payment of interest on the Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Term Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (e) the Conversion and Continuation of Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Term Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

 

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment, should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

 

- 33 -


Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the date the Administrative Agent receives the Extension Request pursuant to such Section.

(c) Unused Fee. During the Availability Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, an unused facility fee equal to the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments multiplied by 0.25% per annum.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as applicable, in the case of Base Rate Loans) and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

- 34 -


Section 3.7. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.4.(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, unused fees, closing fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

 

Section 3.8. Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower periodically, but no less than once every fiscal quarter, with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future

 

- 35 -


funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(c) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(c) with respect to its Term Loan Commitment for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee to such Defaulting Lender that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g) [Intentionally Omitted].

(h) Purchase of Defaulting Lenders Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Term Loan Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $5000. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, except the Defaulting Lender as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

- 36 -


Section 3.10. Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iv) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, and (v) any taxes imposed by Sections 1471 through Section 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (including any official interpretations thereof, collectively “FATCA”) on any “withholdable payment” payable to such recipient as a result of the failure of such recipient to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender or Participant establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Lender

 

- 37 -


or Participant shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes or the Administrative Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes, if such Lender, such Participant or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender or Participant, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Term Loan Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(d) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

(vii) Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Property is an Eligible Property.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Property shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property.

(c) Nonconforming Properties.

Such written notice shall set forth in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent a detailed description of each criteria set forth in the definition of Eligible Property which such Property fails to satisfy and the extent or manner in which it failed to satisfy such criteria (the “Nonconforming Features”). The Administrative Agent shall forward any such notice to the Lenders promptly upon receipt. In connection therewith, the Borrower shall deliver the information required by the immediately preceding subsection (b) to each of the Lenders.

ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

 

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation (including any Regulatory Change) or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation controlling such Lender to the extent that such Lender determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s obligations hereunder.

(b) Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Term Loan Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Term Loan Commitment (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when

 

- 41 -


determining Adjusted LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(c) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, also to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section and reasonably detailed calculations of the amount of such compensation. Determinations by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(f) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

- 42 -


Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

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

(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR or Adjusted LIBOR; or

(b) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative 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 any 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 prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

 

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert, Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

 

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable,

 

- 43 -


calculating present value by using as a discount rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1., Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii) any portion of such Lender’s Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as a LIBOR Loan shall be made or Continued instead as a Base Rate Loan, and any Base Rate Loan of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into a LIBOR Loans shall remain as a Base Rate Loan.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with the respective Pro Rata Share of each Lender.

 

Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Term Loan Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of the Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any titled agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible

 

- 44 -


Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

 

Section 5.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

 

Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

(b) Enforcement by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4.

ARTICLE XII. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Parent and the Borrower are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Parent, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders (or if required by the Loan Documents, all Lenders) have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

 

- 73 -


Section 12.2. SunTrust as Lender.

SunTrust, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document, as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include SunTrust in each case in its individual capacity. SunTrust and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by SunTrust (or any other Person serving as the Administrative Agent) or its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

Section 12.3. Reserved.

 

Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Parent or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

 

Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Lender acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Parent, the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality,

 

- 74 -


validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

 

Section 12.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

 

- 75 -


Section 12.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.

 

Section 12.8. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit

The Borrower will pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration, recordation and similar taxes, fees or charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes, fees or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 13.4. Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its reasonable discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

 

Section 13.5. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE PARENT, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

- 79 -


(b) THE PARENT, THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 13.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a

 

- 80 -


security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (f) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitment, if then in effect, and the aggregate principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, (in each case, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Loans at the time owing to it.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment of a Lender shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Commitment and Loans assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Term Loan Commitment or a Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

- 81 -


(iv) Assignment and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes, are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parents or the Borrower’s respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

 

- 82 -


(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) decrease the amount of such Lender’s Loan, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or portions thereof owing to such Lender (except as otherwise contemplated under Section 2.9.), (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (z) release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. and 5.1. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 3.10.(c) as though it were a Lender.

 

- 83 -


(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 13.7. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto.

(b) Consent of Lenders Directly Affected. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of each such Lender), do any of the following:

(i) increase or reinstate the Term Loan Commitment of a Lender, decrease the principal amount of the Loans or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;

(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender;

(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to such Lender hereunder;

(iv) modify the definition of “Availability Period”, “Availability Termination Date”, “Term Loan Maturity Date” (except in accordance with Section 2.12.), or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations; or

(v) amend or otherwise modify the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.;

(vi) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by Section 8.12.;

 

- 84 -


(vii) amend or otherwise modify the definition of the terms “Requisite Lenders”, or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof;

(viii) amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section; or

(ix) waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a).

(c) Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section (such waiver not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Parent or the Borrower shall entitle the Parent or the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(d) Replacement of Dissenting Lender. If a Lender does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which, pursuant to Section 13.7.(c), requires the vote of such Lender, and all of the other Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Dissenting Lender”), and upon such demand the Dissenting Lender shall promptly, assign its Term Loan Commitment (if then in effect) and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of the Loans then owing to the Dissenting Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Dissenting Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Dissenting Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Dissenting Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Dissenting Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Dissenting Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Dissenting Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Dissenting Lender compensation owing to such Dissenting Lender pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

 

Section 13.8. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender shall have any fiduciary

 

- 85 -


responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Parent or the Borrower to review or inform the Parent or the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Parent’s or the Borrower’s business or operations.

 

Section 13.9. Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Term Loan Commitment or Loan or participation therein or any Loan as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Parent or the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Parent or the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, all of the Affiliates of each of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders, and their respective Related Parties (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, penalties, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding Indemnified Costs indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.10. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that violates a sanction administered or enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Parent, the Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries (or their respective properties) (or the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Parent or the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. No Indemnified Party referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This

 

- 87 -


indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any Loan Party, any shareholder of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.

(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that in connection with any enforcement action in which the Borrower is responsible for the fees and disbursements of counsel, Borrower shall only be required to pay the expenses of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and, to the extent the Lenders reasonably determine that joint representation is not appropriate under the circumstances, one separate counsel to the Lenders (in addition to any local or special counsel).

(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(g) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

- 88 -


Section 13.11. Termination; Survival.

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as all Loans and other Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2., 13.3. and 13.10. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.5., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

 

Section 13.12. Severability of Provisions.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 13.13. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.

 

Section 13.15. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

The obligations of the Parent and the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Parent or the Borrower may have that the Parent or the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.

 

Section 13.16. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

 

- 89 -


Section 13.17. Limitation of Liability.

None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Parent or the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

 

Section 13.18. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

The Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, the Parent, the Borrower and each Lender.

 

Section 13.20. Headings.

The paragraph and section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of June 30, 2016, by and among BROADSTONE NET LEASE, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York (the “Borrower”), BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Parent”), each of the Lenders party hereto (the “Lenders”) and SUNTRUST BANK, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, Parent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto, and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2015 (as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”), and desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Term Loan Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the Term Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

(a) The Term Loan Agreement is amended by amending and restating the following definitions contained in Section 1.1. thereof in their entirety as follows:

Defaulting Lender” means, subject to Section 3.9.(f), any Lender that (a) has failed to (i) fund all or any portion of a Loan to be made by it within 2 Business Days of the date such Loan was required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure is the result of such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not been satisfied, or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent or any Lender any other amount required to be paid by it hereunder within 2 Business Days of the date when due, (b) has notified the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund its Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent, together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied), (c) has failed, within 3 Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations hereunder, or (d) has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (i) become the subject of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (ii) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state


or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity, or (iii) become the subject of a Bail-In Action; provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the ownership or acquisition of any equity interest in that Lender or any direct or indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority so long as such ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States of America or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made with such Lender. Any determination by the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a) through (d) above shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 3.9.(f)) upon delivery of written notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender.

Tangible Net Worth means, as of a given date, stockholders’ equity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis plus increases in accumulated depreciation and amortization accrued after December 31, 2014, minus (to the extent included when determining stockholders’ equity of the Parent and its Subsidiaries): (a) the amount of any write-up in the book value of any assets reflected in any balance sheet resulting from revaluation thereof or any write-up in excess of the cost of such assets acquired, and (b) the aggregate of all amounts appearing on the assets side of any such balance sheet for franchises, licenses, permits, patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, goodwill, treasury stock, experimental or organizational expenses and other like assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP (other than lease intangible assets, net of lease intangible liabilities), all determined on a consolidated basis.

(b) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following definitions to Section 1.1. thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

EEA Financial Institution” means (a) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority, (b) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (a) of this definition, or (c) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (a) or (b) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent.

EEA Member Country” means any of the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.

EEA Resolution Authority” means any public administrative authority or any person entrusted with public administrative authority of any EEA Member Country (including any delegee) having responsibility for the resolution of any EEA Financial Institution.

(c) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by removing Section 3.8. in its entirety.

(d) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by restating Section 4.1.(b) thereof in its entirety as follows:

(b) Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date the Borrower desires that any additional Eligible Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing and provide the Administrative Agent with the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(i) An executive summary of the Property including, at a minimum, the following information relating to such Property: (A) a description of such Property, such description to include the age, location, survey, current occupancy rate and physical condition of such Property, (B) a 12-month forward rent roll if not included in the schedules attached to the Borrowing Base Certificate;

(ii) A Borrowing Base Certificate that includes the Unencumbered Eligible Property Value of such Property;

(iii) To the extent the owner of such Property is not the Borrower or already party to the Guaranty, such deliveries as are required pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof (which items shall be delivered, and such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor, prior to the date such Property is included as a Borrowing Base Property); and

(iv) Such other information the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to confirm that the Property is an Eligible Property.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the foregoing items which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Property shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Base Property.

(e) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following at the end of Section 7.1. thereof:

(bb) None of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary is an EEA Financial Institution.

 

- 3 -


(f) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following new Section 13.21.:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

SECOND AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of December 23, 2016, by and among BROADSTONE NET LEASE, LLC (the “Borrower”), BROADSTONE NET LEASE, INC. (the “Parent”), each of the Lenders party hereto and SUNTRUST BANK, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Parent, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and certain other parties have entered into that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 6, 2015 (as amended including by that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 30, 2016, by and among the Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto, and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Term Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Term Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Term Loan Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Term Loan Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a) The Term Loan Agreement is amended by amending and restating the definition of “LIBOR” contained in Section 1.1. thereof in its entirety as follows:

LIBOR” means, for any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan, the rate per annum equal to (a) the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars appearing on Reuters screen page LIBOR 01 (or on any successor or substitute page of such service or any successor to such service, or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period, with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period or (b) if such rate is not available as provided in clause (a) at any such time for any reason, then such rate shall instead be the interest rate per annum, as determined by the Administrative Agent, to be the arithmetic average of the rates per annum at which deposits in U. S. Dollars in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan are offered by major banks in the London interbank market to the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time), two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period; provided, in each case, that if the rate determined as provided above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement if and only if the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps at any time during such Interest Period.


(b) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by adding the following definition to Section 1.1. thereof in the appropriate alphabetical location:

Qualifying Swap” means any interest rate swap transaction that (i) trades floating rate interest for fixed rate interest, (ii) was entered into as a hedge against fluctuations in interest rates in respect of Borrower’s Indebtedness that bears interest at a rate based on LIBOR, and (iii) the parties to such interest rate swap transaction have not elected the “Zero Interest Rate Method” in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement governing such interest rate swap transaction.

(c) The Term Loan Agreement is further amended by restating Section 9.3. thereof in its entirety as follows:

Section 9.3. Compliance Certificate.

At the time the financial statements are furnished pursuant to Sections 9.1. and 9.2., a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Compliance Certificate”) executed on behalf of the Parent by a Financial Officer of the Parent (a) setting forth a reasonably detailed list of all Eligible Properties which the Borrower has included in calculations of Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value for the fiscal period covered by such Compliance Certificate; (b) setting forth in reasonable detail as of the end of such quarterly accounting period or fiscal year, as the case may be, the calculations required to establish whether the Parent was in compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.1.; (c) setting forth in reasonable detail as of the end of such quarterly accounting period or fiscal year, as the case may be, (i) all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps and the notional amounts thereof, (ii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, (iii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, together with the amount of such excess during any such period; and (d) stating that no Default or Event of Default exists, or, if such is not the case, specifying such Default or Event of Default and its nature, when it occurred and the steps being taken by the Parent and/or the Borrower with respect to such event, condition or failure.

(d) Exhibit G to the Term Loan Agreement is amended by amending and restating paragraph 2 thereof in its entirety as follows:

2. Schedule 1 attached hereto accurately and completely (a) sets forth reasonably detailed calculations required to establish compliance with Section 10.1. of the Credit Agreement and (b) setting forth in reasonable detail (i) all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps and the notional amounts thereof, (ii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness consisting of term loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, (iii) each period, if any, during which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all LIBOR Loans and Borrower’s other Indebtedness bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR exceeded the total notional amount of all of Borrower’s Qualifying Swaps, together with the amount of such excess during any such period.

Section 2. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment, is subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of the following, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

EXHIBIT 10.20

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY dated as of October 2, 2012 (this “Guaranty”), executed and delivered by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of an Accession Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto (all of the undersigned, together with such other Persons each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 2, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.6. thereof (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders (the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each individually a “Guarantied Party” and collectively, the “Guarantied Parties”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party thereunder (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other similar Applicable Law but for the commencement of such case or proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or proceeding); (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all other Obligations; and (d) all

 

1


expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, none of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security, if any, held by the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a)    (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(b)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(c)    any furnishing to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral, if any, securing any of the Obligations;

(d)    any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(e)    any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

 

2


(f)    any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g)    any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien, if any, on any collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied Obligations;

(h)    any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(i)    any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

(j)    any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties;

(k)    any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(l)    any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

(m)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3. of this Guaranty and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral, if any, securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties shall elect.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

3


Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any

 

4


time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its reasonable discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)    EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

6


(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Guarantor until the indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and any other Obligation, the termination or expiration of all of the Lenders’ and Administrative Agent’s obligations to make loans or other financial accommodations to the Borrower, and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to Section 13.9. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative Agent and all of the Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

 

7


Section 23. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor.

Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.

Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

Section 28. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties or any of the Administrative Agent’s or of any Guarantied Parties’, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

Section 29. Electronic Delivery of Certain Information. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that information regarding the Guarantor may be delivered electronically pursuant to Section 9.5. of the Credit Agreement.

Section 30. Right of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments have expired or terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section against any other Guarantor until such Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Subject to Section 10 of this Guaranty, this Section shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any

 

8


Guarantor may have under Applicable Law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guarantied Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall cease to be a Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

Section 31. Definitions. (a) For the purposes of this Guaranty:

Bankruptcy Code” means Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as amended from time to time, and any successor statute or statutes and all rules and regulations from time to time promulgated thereunder, and any comparable foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or creditors’ rights.

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY dated as of May 24, 2013 (this “Guaranty”), executed and delivered by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of an Accession Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto (all of the undersigned, together with such other Persons each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of REGIONS BANK, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of May 24, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Borrower”), Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.6. thereof (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders (the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each individually a “Guarantied Party” and collectively, the “Guarantied Parties”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Borrower.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party thereunder (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other similar Applicable Law but for the commencement of such case or proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or proceeding); (b) any and all extensions, renewals,

 

1


modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all other Obligations; and (d) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, none of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security, if any, held by the Administrative Agent or any Guarantied Party which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a)    (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(b)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(c)    any furnishing to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral, if any, securing any of the Obligations;

(d)    any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(e)    any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

 

2


(f)    any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g)    any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien, if any, on any collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied Obligations;

(h)    any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(i)    any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

(k)    any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(l)    any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

(m)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3. of this Guaranty and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral, if any, securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties shall elect.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

 

3


Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

 

4


Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its reasonable discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

5


Section 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.

(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Guarantor until the indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and any other Obligation, the termination or expiration of all of the Lenders’ and Administrative Agent’s obligations to make loans or other financial accommodations to the Borrower, and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to Section 13.9. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative Agent and all of the Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.

If the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent and/or the Guarantied Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such Guarantied Party.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any

 

4


time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent exercised in its reasonable discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Administrative Agent and the Guarantied Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)    EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Guarantor until the indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and any other Obligation, the termination or expiration of all of the Lenders’ and Administrative Agent’s obligations to make loans or other financial accommodations to the Borrower, and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Administrative Agent or the Guarantied Parties shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to Section 13.9. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Guarantied Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative Agent and all of the Guarantied Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

Section 23. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor.

 

7


Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.

Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

Section 28. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Guarantied Parties, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any of the Guarantied Parties or any of the Administrative Agent’s or of any Guarantied Parties’, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

Section 29. Electronic Delivery of Certain Information. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that information regarding the Guarantor may be delivered electronically pursuant to Section 9.5. of the Credit Agreement.

Section 30. Right of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment, such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments have expired or terminated, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section against any other Guarantor until such Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Subject to Section 10 of this Guaranty, this Section shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under Applicable Law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guarantied Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall cease to be a Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

(b)    information, if the reason for such non-disclosure is solely to preserve an attorney-client privilege available to the Constituent Companies and the Constituent Companies have determined after consultation with independent counsel qualified to advise on such matters that such information would reasonably be expected, if disclosed, to no longer be entitled to the benefits of such attorney-client privilege notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 21, provided that (1) such information was not made subject to such attorney-client privilege in contemplation of this clause (b) and (2) such non-disclosure is necessary to preserve such attorney-client privilege; or

SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1.    Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2.    Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part

 

-22-


of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Issuer and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3.    Allocation of Partial Prepayments and Purchases. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. In the case of any purchase or prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.5 or Section 8.7, the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased or prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes that have accepted such offer of purchase or prepayment.

Section 8.4.    Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Issuer shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Issuer and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5.    Purchase of Notes. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Issuer or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions and, for the avoidance of doubt, such offer may be at less than par and may or may not include the payment of the Make-Whole Amount. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Issuer shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining

 

-23-


holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond prior to the last day on which such holder may respond (including any extension of such period pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence) to an offer to purchase made pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. Acceptances of offers to repurchase Notes pursuant to this Section 8.5 need not be a on a pro rata basis among the Notes.

Section 8.6.    Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (1) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (i) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 

-24-


If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (A) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (B) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7.    Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.

(a)    Notice of Change in Control or Control Event. The Constituent Companies will, within 10 Business Days after any Responsible Officer of either thereof has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control or any Control Event, give written notice of such Change in Control or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless notice in respect of such Change in Control (or the Change in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to Section 8.7(b).

If such Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by Section 8.7(a), such date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 30th day after the date of such offer).

(d)    Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(e)    Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount. The prepayment shall be made on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, except as provided by Section 8.7(f).

(f)    Deferral Pending Change in Control. The obligation of the Issuer to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by Section 8.7(c) and accepted in accordance with Section 8.7(d) is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made. In the event that such Change in Control does not occur on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until, and shall be made on the date on which, such Change in Control occurs. The Constituent Companies shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (1) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (2) the date on which such Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur and (3) any determination by the Parent Guarantor that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this Section 8.7 in respect of such Change in Control automatically shall be deemed rescinded without penalty or other liability).

 

-26-


(g)    Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer and dated the date of such offer, specifying (1) the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (2) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7 and that failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.7(d) shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected, (3) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (4) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (5) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 have been fulfilled and (6) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

Without limiting Section 10.4, each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2.    Insurance. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, or will cause each tenant under a Tenant Lease to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance (on a replacement cost basis) with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3.    Maintenance of Properties. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, or will cause each tenant under a Tenant Lease to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear or as the result of a casualty for which insurance is maintained pursuant to Section 9.2 or condemnation), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times subject to the rights of tenants under Tenant Leases, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Parent Guarantor has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4.    Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary,

 

-28-


provided that neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5.    Corporate Existence, Etc. Each Constituent Company will at all times preserve and keep its limited liability company or corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2 each Constituent Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or other legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of each Constituent Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate or other existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6.    Books and Records. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets. Each Constituent Company and its Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7.    REIT Status. The Parent Guarantor shall maintain its status as, and election to be treated as, a REIT under the Code.

Section 9.8.    Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a)    The Parent Guarantor will cause each of its Subsidiaries that guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-borrower or otherwise, for or in respect of any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility to, concurrently therewith:

(1)    execute a supplement to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement in the form of Exhibit A thereto (a “Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement”); and

(2)    deliver the following to each holder of a Note:

(i)    an executed counterpart of such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement;

(ii)    a certificate signed by an authorized Responsible Officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of

 

-29-


such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1(c), 5.2(c), 5.6(c), 5.7(c) and 5.19(c) of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, as the case may be);

(iii)    all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and, where applicable, good standing of such Subsidiary and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and the performance by such Subsidiary of its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement; and

(iv)    an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement as the Required Holders may reasonably request.

(b)    At the request of the Parent Guarantor and by written notice to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (including any Subsidiary that becomes party thereto by virtue of a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement) shall be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders, provided that (1) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Material Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement) under such Material Credit Facility, (2) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (3) no amount is then due and payable under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, (4) if, in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Credit Facility, any fees or other remuneration (other than (i) commitment fees and similar fees given in consideration of a new extension of credit in connection with an extension or replacement of the applicable Material Credit Facility, (ii) amounts paid in satisfaction of principal or interest under such Material Credit Facility and (iii) structuring, arrangement or similar fees solely for the account of the agent under such Material Credit Facility in connection with such release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from such Material Credit Facility) were paid or agreed to be paid to or for the benefit of any agent or any lender, in such capacity, under such Material Credit Facility principally for the purpose of releasing such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guaranty obligations under such Material Credit Facility, then the Issuer shall pay or agree to pay to the holders of the Notes the same fees or other remuneration on a pro rata basis in proportion to the relative outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding under such applicable Material Credit Facility (or applicable Material Credit Facilities) and (5) each holder shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Guarantor certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (1) through (4).

 

-30-


Section 9.9.    Most Favored Lender Provision. If at any time a Material Credit Facility or any Guaranty in respect thereof shall include any Financial Covenant and such provision is not contained in this Agreement (any such provision, together with any related definitions (including, any term defined therein with reference to the application of GAAP, as identified in such Material Credit Facility), an “Additional Covenant”), then the Constituent Companies shall promptly, and in any event within 15 Business Days thereof, provide a Most Favored Lender Notice with respect to each such Additional Covenant; provided that a Most Favored Lender Notice is not required to be given in the case of the Additional Covenants incorporated herein on the Execution Date. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 10 days of the Purchasers’ and holders’ receipt of such notice, such Additional Covenant shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, effective (a) in the case of any Additional Covenant effective on the Execution Date, as of the Execution Date, and (b) in the case of any Additional Covenant effective after the Execution Date, as of the date when such Additional Covenant became effective under such Material Credit Facility. Any Additional Covenant incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this provision (1) shall remain unchanged herein notwithstanding any temporary waiver of such Additional Covenant under the relevant Material Credit Facility, (2) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments agreed and implemented in relation to such Additional Covenant under the relevant Material Credit Facility and (3) shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect under or pursuant to the relevant Material Credit Facility or if the relevant Material Credit Facility has been terminated; provided that (i) if any fees or other remuneration (other than (A) commitment fees and similar fees given in consideration of a new extension of credit in connection with an extension or replacement of the applicable Material Credit Facility, (B) amounts paid in satisfaction of principal or interest under such Material Credit Facility and (C) structuring, arrangement or similar fees solely for the account of the agent under such Material Credit Facility in connection with such deletion, amendment or modification) were paid or agreed to be paid to or for the benefit of any agent or any lender, in such capacity, under such Material Credit Facility principally to cause such Additional Covenant to cease to be in effect or be deleted or to be so amended or modified in such Material Credit Facility, then the Issuer shall pay or agree to pay to the holders of the Notes the same fees or other remuneration on a pro rata basis in proportion to the relative outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding under such applicable Material Credit Facility (or applicable Material Credit Facilities); and (ii) no Additional Covenant shall be so deemed automatically amended or deleted during any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In determining whether a breach of any Financial Covenant incorporated by reference into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall constitute an Event of Default, the period of grace, if any, applicable to such Additional Covenant in the relevant Material Credit Facility shall apply.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Constituent Companies fail to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

Section 10.2.    Merger, Consolidation, Sales of Assets and Other Arrangements.

The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, (a) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation (other than (1) any transaction of merger or consolidation between or among the Constituent Companies and the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided that if the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer enters into such a transaction of merger, it is the survivor thereof, (2) any transaction of merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor into a Constituent Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor so long as such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is the survivor thereof and (3) any transaction of merger or consolidation between two or more Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that are not Subsidiary Guarantors), (b) liquidate, windup or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution) or (c) convey, sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or any substantial part of its business or assets, or the capital stock of or other Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that any of the actions described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c) may be taken with respect to either Constituent Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary so long as (i) immediately prior to the taking of such action, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence, and (ii) if any such action involves the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, respectively, must be the survivor, except that the Parent Guarantor may take any such action pursuant to which the Parent Guarantor is not the survivor so long as (A) if such transaction results in a Change of Control, the Issuer has offered to purchase the Notes then outstanding in accordance with Section 8.7, (B) the surviving Person shall be a solvent corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and such surviving Person (I) shall have executed and delivered to each holder of a Note its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement and (II) shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel, or other independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance with their terms and comply with the terms hereof and (C) each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have reaffirmed in writing its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.

 

-32-

Section 10.3.    Line of Business. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the Execution Date as described in the Memorandum.

Section 10.4.    Economic Sanctions, Etc. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (b) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (1) would cause any Purchaser or holder or any affiliate of such Purchaser or holder to be in violation of, or subject to sanctions under, any law or regulation applicable to such Purchaser or holder, or (2) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws.

Section 10.5.    Negative Pledge.

(a)    Except for Permitted Negative Pledges, the Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, permit any Eligible Property, Unencumbered Cash or Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable or any direct or indirect ownership interest of the Issuer in any Person owning any Eligible Property, Unencumbered Cash or Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable, to be subject to a Negative Pledge if such Negative Pledge prohibits or purports to prohibit the creation of a Lien on such Eligible Property, Unencumbered Cash, Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable or ownership interest as security for the obligations of the Constituent Companies hereunder or under the Notes.

(b)    The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, or incur any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its properties, assets, income or profits of any character whether now owned or hereafter acquired if immediately prior to the creation, assumption or incurring of such Lien, or immediately thereafter, a Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence, including a Default or Event of Default resulting from a violation of any of the covenants contained in Section 10.8 or any Additional Covenant.

Section 10.6.    Restrictions on Intercompany Transfers. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction

 

-33-

(2)    with respect to clause (d), customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into by either Constituent Company or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; and

(3)    with respect to clause (d), those encumbrances or restrictions contained in an agreement (i) evidencing Indebtedness which a Subsidiary may create, incur, assume, or permit or suffer to exist under this Agreement and (ii) which Indebtedness is secured by a Lien on the assets of such Subsidiary permitted to exist under this Agreement, so long as such encumbrances and restrictions apply only to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary has no material assets other than those encumbered by such Lien.

Section 10.7.    Parent Guarantor Ownership and Management of the Issuer. The Constituent Companies will not permit the Parent Guarantor to (a) cease to own and control, directly or indirectly, at least 65% of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Issuer, (b) cease to be the managing member of the Issuer or (c) cease to have the sole and exclusive power to exercise all management and control over the Issuer.

Section 10.8.    Financial Covenants.

-34-


therewith) shall concurrently be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders in substance and in form, including, without limitation, an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to the Constituent Companies and/or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel and in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders.

that is a Subsidiary Guarantor. If an Event of Default specified in Section 11(a), Section 11(b), Section 11(g), Section 11(h) or Section 11(i) shall exist, or if as a result of the occurrence of any other Event of Default the Notes have been accelerated pursuant to Section 12, the Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, make any Restricted Payments to any Person except that Subsidiaries may pay Restricted Payments to the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(g)    Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value. The Parent Guarantor will not at any time permit Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value to be less than $300,000,000.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Constituent Companies fail to comply with any provision of Section 10 before or after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes on a pro forma basis, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1.    Acceleration.

(a)    If an Event of Default with respect to either Constituent Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (1) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (6) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (1) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b)    If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c)    If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (1) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (2) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Issuer acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuer (except as herein specifically

 

-39-


provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2.    Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3.    Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuer has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4.    No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Constituent Companies under Section 16, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

 

SECTION 13. GUARANTEE.

Section 13.1.    The Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each holder of a Note (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including any interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding in bankruptcy and any additional interest that would accrue but for the commencement of such proceeding) on the Notes and all

other obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and (b) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed by the Issuer under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). The Parent Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Section 13 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Section 13.2.    Waiver of Defenses. The Parent Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Parent Guarantor waives notice of any default under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Obligations.

It being understood that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not

 

-41-


specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Section 13.2 that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable to the extent herein specified and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the Obligations and then only to the extent of such payment.

Section 13.3.    Guaranty of Payment. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein constitutes a guaranty of payment when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder of a Note to any other Person or to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

Section 13.4.    Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Section 13.5.    Reinstatement. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of a Note upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

Section 13.6.    Payment on Demand. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder of a Note has at law or in equity against the Parent Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the Parent Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of a Note, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

The Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer shall default under the terms of a Note or this Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given Default or Event of Default, the Guarantee contained in this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent Default or Event of Default.

 

-42-


Section 13.7.    Stay of Acceleration. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

Section 13.8.    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any holder of a Note against the Issuer or any collateral security or Guarantee or right of offset held by any holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the holders of the Notes by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the Parent Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Guarantor, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

Section 13.9.    Marshalling. No holder of a Note shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

Section 13.10.    Transfer of Notes. All rights of any holder of a Note under this Section 13 shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Parent Guarantor under this Section 13 or to the Issuer.

Section 13.11.    Consideration. The Parent Guarantor has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of this Guarantee.

 

SECTION 14. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

Section 14.1.    Registration of Notes. The Issuer shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes.

SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (1) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes) who agree or are deemed to have agreed to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (2) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21, (3) any other holder of any Note, (4) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (5) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of a Constituent Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (6) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (7) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (8) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process; provided that, except pursuant to the exercise of its rights pursuant to clause (iv) below, if not prohibited by applicable law, court order or regulation, such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give reasonably prompt notice to the Constituent Companies thereof prior to such disclosure so that the Constituent Companies may, in their discretion, attempt to obtain a protective order restraining such disclosure, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party; provided that, except pursuant to the exercise of its rights pursuant to clause (iv) below, if not prohibited by applicable law, court order or regulation, such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give reasonably prompt notice to the Constituent Companies thereof prior to such disclosure so that the Constituent Companies may, in their discretion, attempt to obtain a protective order restraining such disclosure, or (iv) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by a Constituent Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be

 

-50-


delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Constituent Companies embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to a Constituent Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and such Constituent Company, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

 

SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Constituent Companies, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Constituent Companies of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 23. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 23.1.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, neither Constituent Company may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 23.2.    Accounting Terms.

(a)    All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.

 

-51-


(b)    If the Constituent Companies notify the holders of Notes that, in their reasonable opinion, or if the Required Holders notify the Constituent Companies that, in their reasonable opinion, as a result of any change in GAAP from time to time (a “Subsequent Change”), any of the financial covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the defined terms used therein no longer apply as intended such that such covenants are materially more or less restrictive to the Constituent Companies than are such covenants immediately prior to giving effect to such Subsequent Change, the Constituent Companies and the holders of Notes shall negotiate in good faith to reset or amend such covenants or defined terms so as to negate such Subsequent Change, or to establish alternative covenants or defined terms. Until the Constituent Companies and the Required Holders so agree to reset, amend or establish alternative covenants or defined terms, the financial covenants contained in this Agreement together with the relevant defined terms, shall continue to apply and compliance therewith shall be determined assuming that the Subsequent Change shall not have occurred (“Static GAAP”). During any period that compliance with any covenants shall be determined pursuant to Static GAAP, the Constituent Companies shall include relevant reconciliations in reasonable detail between GAAP and Static GAAP with respect to the applicable covenant compliance calculations contained in each certificate of a Senior Financial Officer delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a) during such period.

(c)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (a) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (b) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Parent Guarantor to measure any financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25Fair Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

Section 23.3.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 23.4.    Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding

 

-52-


masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein) and, for purposes of the Notes, shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 14, (b) subject to Section 23.1, any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Sections, Schedules and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits to, this Agreement, and (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 23.5.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of a counterpart in “pdf” shall be treated as a delivery of an original counterpart hereof.

Section 23.6.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 23.7.    Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)    Each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

 

-53-


(c)    Each party hereto consents to process being served by or on behalf of any other party hereto in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address specified in Section 19 or at such other address of which such party shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each party hereto agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d)    Nothing in this Section 23.7 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that any party hereto may have to bring proceedings against another party hereto in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e)    The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

Re:

$150,000,000 4.84% Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 18, 2027

of

Broadstone Net Lease, LLC

 

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of April 18, 2017 (this “Guaranty”) is entered into on a joint and several basis by each of the undersigned, together with any entity which may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (a “Guaranty Supplement”) (which parties are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”).

R E C I T A L S

A.    Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), is the managing member of Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Issuer”; the Parent Guarantor and the Issuer are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Constituent Companies”). Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Constituent Company.

B.    The Constituent Companies have entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated as of March 16, 2017 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with each of the purchasers listed in the Purchaser Schedule attached to said Note Agreement (collectively, the “Purchasers”), providing for, among other things, the issue and sale by the Issuer to the Purchasers of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.84% Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 18, 2027 (the “Notes”). The Purchasers together with their respective successors and assigns are collectively referred to herein as the “Holders.”

C.    The Purchasers have required as a condition of their purchase of the Notes that the Constituent Companies cause each of the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and, as set forth in Section 9.8(a) of the Note Agreement, to cause certain other Subsidiaries from time to time to enter into a Guaranty Supplement, and the Constituent Companies have agreed to cause each of the undersigned to execute this Guaranty and to cause each such other Subsidiary to execute a Guaranty Supplement, in each case in order to induce the Purchasers to purchase the Notes and thereby benefit the Issuer and its Subsidiaries by providing funds to the Issuer for the purposes described in Section 5.14 of the Note Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, as required by Section 4.11 of the Note Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree, jointly and severally, as follows:

 

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Agreement unless defined herein or the context shall otherwise require.

 

SECTION 2. GUARANTY OF NOTES AND NOTE AGREEMENT.

(a)    Each Guarantor jointly and severally does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee unto the Holders: (1) the full and prompt payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including, without limitation, any interest on any overdue principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, and any additional interest that would accrue but for the commencement of such proceeding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any overdue interest) on the Notes from time to time outstanding, as and when such payments shall become due and payable whether by lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration or otherwise in federal or other immediately available funds of the United States which at the time of payment or demand therefor shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, (2) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Issuer under the terms of the Notes, (3) the full and prompt performance and observance by each Constituent Company of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by such Constituent Company under the terms of the Note Agreement and (4) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder, of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, payable by the Issuer pursuant to Section 12.4 of the Note Agreement or the Constituent Companies pursuant to Section 16.1 of the Note Agreement, or as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities in favor of the Holders under or in respect of this Guaranty or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith.

(b)    To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment hereunder (a “Payment”) which, together with all other Payments made by such Guarantor, and taking into account all other Payments previously or concurrently made by any of the other Guarantors, exceeds the amount which such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate obligations satisfied by such Payment(s) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately prior to such Payment bore to the Aggregate Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately prior to the making of such Payment, then such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Payment; provided that each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution and indemnification and any and all claims of such Guarantor against any other Guarantor, any endorser or against any of their property shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the

 

E-SGA - 4


Constituent Companies of their obligations under the Note Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under this Guaranty and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of contribution and indemnification, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of contribution and indemnification, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied.

As of any date of determination, (1) the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount which could then be claimed by the Holders under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et. seq.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law; and (2) the “Aggregate Allocable Amount” shall be equal to the sum of the Allocable Amount of all Guarantors.

This clause (b) is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this clause (b) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts to the Holders as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance herewith.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of any Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

 

SECTION 3. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE.

This is an irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not of collection) and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Agreement be brought against either Constituent Company or any other Person or that resort be had to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. Any Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first proceeding against either Constituent Company or any other Person and without first resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of any direct or indirect security for, or other guaranties of, any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of either Constituent Company or any other Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay, neglect or omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guarantees, Indebtedness, liability or obligation or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect security therefor or by any approval, consent, waiver, or other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder.

The covenants and agreements on the part of the Guarantors herein contained shall take effect as joint and several covenants and agreements, and references to the Guarantors shall take effect as references to each of them and none of them shall be released from liability hereunder by reason of the guarantee ceasing to be binding as a continuing security on any other of them.

SECTION 4 GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE GUARANTY.

(a)    Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any Holder or Holders from time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from any other Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem advisable:

(1)    extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Issuer or of any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Issuer on the Notes, or waive any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of the Note Agreement, any other agreement or waive this Guaranty; or

(2)    sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Issuer or of any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Issuer on the Notes; or

(3)    settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Issuer against any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor) secondarily or otherwise liable for any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of the Issuer on the Notes.

Each Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that such Guarantor shall at all times be bound by this Guaranty and remain liable hereunder until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied.

(b)    Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

(1)    notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Holders or of the creation, renewal or accrual of any liability of either Constituent Company, present or future, or of the reliance of such Holders upon this Guaranty (it being understood that every Indebtedness, liability and obligation described in Section 2 hereof shall conclusively be presumed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the execution of this Guaranty);

(2)    demand of payment by any Holder from either Constituent Company or any other Person (including, without limitation, any other Guarantor) indebted in any manner on or for any of the Indebtedness, liabilities or obligations hereby guaranteed; and

(3)    presentment for the payment by any Holder or any other Person of the Notes or any other instrument, protest thereof and notice of its dishonor to any party thereto and to such Guarantor.

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty and the rights of any Holder to enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination (other than termination upon the indefeasible payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder and the satisfaction of all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise and shall not be subject to any defense, set-off, counterclaim (other than any compulsory counterclaim), recoupment or termination whatsoever.

(c)    The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns, shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied, and shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(1)    the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other agreement or any of the terms of any thereof, the continuance of any obligation on the part of the Issuer or any other Person on or in respect of the Notes or either Constituent Company under the Note Agreement or any other agreement or the power or authority or the lack of power or authority of the Issuer to issue the Notes or either Constituent Company to execute and deliver the Note Agreement, or any other agreement or of any Guarantor to execute and deliver this Guaranty or to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the existence or continuance of either Constituent Company or any other Person as a legal entity; or

(2)    any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance by either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Notes, the Note Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or

(3)    any creditors’ rights, bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding of either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or in respect of the property of either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of or winding up of either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person; or

(5)    in respect of either Constituent Company or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to either Constituent Company or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failure of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any federal or state regulatory body or agency, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of either Constituent Company or any other Person and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore specified; or

(6)    any attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process, encumbrance or any other happening or event or reason, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes, assessments, expenses, Indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not valid, incurred by or against either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or any claims, demands, charges or Liens of any nature, foreseen or unforeseen, incurred by either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or against any sums payable in respect of the Notes or under the Note Agreement, or this Guaranty, so that such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable to make the payments herein provided; or

(7)    any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not valid) of any court of any nation or of any political subdivision thereof or any body, agency, department, official or administrative or regulatory agency of any thereof or any other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere with, hinder or prevent, or in any way adversely affect, the performance by either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person of its respective obligations under or in respect of the Notes, the Note Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement; or

(8)    the failure of any Guarantor to receive any benefit from or as a result of its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; or

or amendments, modifications, consents or waivers with respect to the Notes, the Note Agreement, or any other agreement, or the sale, release, substitution or exchange of any security for the Notes; or

(11)    any merger or consolidation of either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person into or with any other Person or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person to any other Person, or any change in the ownership of any shares or other equity interests of either Constituent Company, any Guarantor or any other Person; or

(12)    any defense whatsoever that: (i) the Issuer or any other Person might have to the payment of the Notes (including, principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest), other than payment thereof in federal or other immediately available funds or (ii) either Constituent Company or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the satisfaction or purported satisfaction by either Constituent Company or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or otherwise; or

(13)    any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or anything which might vary the risk of any Guarantor or any other Person; or

(14)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the obligations of any Guarantor or other Person under this Guaranty or any other agreement;

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and payable as in the Notes provided, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or either Constituent Company shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Note Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Issuer under the Notes or by either Constituent Company under the Note Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default.

(d)    All rights of any Holder under this Guaranty shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such Holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or to either Constituent Company.

 

E-SGA - 9


(e)    To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holder or Holders upon whose Notes such payment was made, but each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation and any and all claims of such Guarantor against either Constituent Company, any endorser or other Guarantor or against any of their respective properties shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the Constituent Companies of their obligations under the Note Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under this Guaranty, and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of subrogation, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from either Constituent Company, all rights, Liens and security interests of each Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Constituent Companies shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights, if any, of the Holders in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Notes and the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement shall have been paid in cash in full and satisfied.

(f)    Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Issuer or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person.

(g)    No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes or the Constituent Companies under or in respect of the Note Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantors may or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten the Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

(h)    If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any Holder to receive any payment under any Note shall at such

 

E-SGA - 10


time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Guarantor of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the Holders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder.

 

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTORS.

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to each Holder that:

(a)    Such Guarantor is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized or formed, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Guarantor has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform the provisions hereof.

(b)    Such Guarantor is either (1) a “qualified REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code, (2) a REIT, (3) a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, (4) a partnership under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 or (5) an entity disregarded as a separate entity from its owner under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3.

(c)    This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Guarantor, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(d)    The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, organizational document, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

E-SGA - 11


(e)    No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty.

(f)    The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated senior Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of such Guarantor, including all unsecured and unsubordinated senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor described on Schedule 5.15 to the Note Agreement.

 

SECTION 6. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

(a)    This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that (1) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 3, 4 or 5, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Holder unless consented to by such Holder in writing and (2) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder, (i) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (ii) amend Section 2 or this Section 6. No consent of the Holders or the Guarantors shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement or other addition of any additional Guarantor, and each Guarantor, by its execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or Guaranty Supplement) consents to the addition of each additional Guarantor.

(b)    The Guarantors will provide each Holder with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof. The Guarantors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders. The Guarantors will deliver executed copies of each executed Guaranty Supplement to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed.

(c)    No Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Holder as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such Holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(d)    Any consent given pursuant to this Section 6 by a Holder that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to (1) a Constituent Company, (2) any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate or (3) any other Person in connection with, or in anticipation of, such other Person

 

E-SGA - 12


acquiring, making a tender offer for or merging with either Constituent Company and/or any of its Affiliates, in each case in connection with such consent, shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other Holders that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such Holder.

(e)    Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 6 applies equally to all Holders affected thereby and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived, or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between any Guarantor and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

(f)    Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding have approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Guaranty, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Guarantor, either Constituent Company or any of their Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)    No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

(b)    The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified for such purpose for such Holder, in the case of a Holder that is a Purchaser, on the Purchaser Schedule, or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors and the Constituent Companies in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note.

(c)    Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d)    If the whole or any part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors.

(e)    This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. If any Guarantor enters into any consolidation or merger, pursuant to which such Guarantor is not the surviving entity (the “Successor Person”), the Successor Person shall execute and deliver to each Holder its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty (pursuant to such agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders).

(f)    This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

 

E-SGA - 14


(g)    This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

(h)    Each Guarantor and each Holder irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor and each Holder irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(i)    Each Guarantor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any Holder in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 8(h) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 7 or at such other address of which such Holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Guarantor agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(j)    Nothing in Section 8(h) or 8(i) shall affect the right of any Holder to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that any Holder may have to bring proceedings against any Guarantor in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(k)    EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, EACH HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND STOCK OWNERSHIP POLICY

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted the following director compensation and stock ownership policy, effective as of January 1, 2017.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY

This compensation policy shall apply only to independent directors of the Company who are not Company officers or employees and who are not affiliated with, or appointed to the Board by, Broadstone Real Estate, LLC or Broadstone Asset Management, LLC, the Company’s property manager and asset manager, respectively (each an “Independent Director”). This compensation policy has been developed to compensate Independent Directors for their time, commitment, and contributions to the Board. The compensation described in this policy shall be paid automatically and without further action of the Board to each Independent Director who may be eligible to receive such compensation.

Retainers for Serving on the Board

Independent Directors shall be paid an annual retainer of $55,000, payable in arrears in quarterly installments of $13,750, for each calendar year of service on the Board. Retainers for partial quarters or years of service shall be pro-rated to reflect the number of days served by an Independent Director during a quarter or year. The quarterly installments of the annual retainer shall be paid within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter.

Retainers for Serving as Chairpersons

An additional annual retainer of $5,000 shall be paid to an Independent Director who serves as the Lead Independent Director, the chairperson of the Audit Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Governance Committee”), or as the Company’s designated observer at meetings of the Board of Managers of Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (the “BRE Board Observer”). If an Independent Director serves in more than one of the foregoing roles, then he or she shall be entitled to receive an additional annual retainer of $5,000 for each such role held. Such additional retainer shall be paid within 15 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which the appointment of an Independent Director to serve in such role is made.

If an Independent Director becomes the Lead Independent Director, the chairperson of the Audit Committee or Governance Committee, or the BRE Board Observer at any time other than the beginning of the calendar year, then the additional retainer shall be pro-rated to reflect the number of days to be served by the Independent Director in such role during such year.

Meeting Fees

For Board or committee meetings, each Independent Director in attendance shall receive $1,000. If an Independent Director attends a Board meeting and a committee meeting on a single day, he or she shall only receive a Meeting Fee for the Board meeting attended. Meeting Fees for each quarter shall be paid within 15 days after the last day of the applicable quarter to which they relate (e.g., April 15th for the calendar quarter ended March 31st).


Compensation Payable in Shares of Common Stock

Except as otherwise set forth in “Annual Compensation Election” below, all compensation to be paid to each Independent Director shall be paid 100% in shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”). The number of Shares to be issued to an Independent Director at any particular time shall be determined by dividing the compensation payable to such Independent Director at such time by the then-current Determined Share Value of the Shares. Any Shares so issued to an Independent Director will be 100% vested and non-forfeitable as of the issuance date, and the Independent Director receiving such Shares (or his or her custodian or designee, if any) will have immediate rights of ownership in the Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive dividends or other distributions thereon.

Annual Compensation Election

If an Independent Director has satisfied the minimum stock ownership requirement established by the Board, as set forth below, or has had such requirement waived, such Independent Director shall be permitted to elect to receive his or her compensation from the Company for a particular calendar year 70% in Shares and 30% in cash. Such an election may only be made with respect to 100% of the compensation for the applicable calendar year and may not be made for a portion of any compensation (including compensation that is prorated due to an Independent Director’s midyear appointment or election).

An Independent Director may make such an election by delivering a valid election form in such form as the Company shall prescribe (the “Election Form”) to the Company prior to the beginning of a calendar year, which will be effective as of the first day of the calendar year beginning after the Company receives the Election Form. The Election Form signed by an Independent Director prior to the calendar year will be irrevocable for that calendar year. Prior to the commencement of the following calendar year, however, an Independent Director may change his or her election for future calendar years by executing and delivering a new Election Form. If an Independent Director fails to deliver a new Election Form prior to the commencement of the new calendar year, his or her Election Form in effect during the previous calendar year shall continue in effect during the new calendar year. If no Election Form is filed or effective for an Independent Director, such Independent Director’s compensation will be paid 100% in Shares.

TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

Each of the Company’s directors shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses which they properly incur in connection with their functions and duties as a director, including the reasonable travel expenses of the director’s spouse or partner to attend events to which spouses and partners are expected. Each of the directors shall provide the Company with evidence of expenses incurred, including copies of receipts, as the Company may reasonably require.

MINIMUM STOCK OWNERSHIP

To ensure alignment of interest with the Company’s stockholders, each of the Company’s directors is required to accumulate and retain at least $250,000 of Shares within four years of becoming a director with an initial cash component of at least 20%. The initial cash component may be waived by the Board on a case-by-case basis. Shares that are owned directly or indirectly (e.g., by a spouse, trust or limited partnership) will count toward meeting the requirement. The Governance Committee will be responsible for monitoring compliance with this minimum stock ownership requirement.

 

2


AMENDMENT, REVISION AND TERMINATION

This Director Compensation and Stock Ownership Policy may be amended, revised or terminated by the Board at any time and from time-to-time.

EXHIBIT 10.25

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into on the date set forth below to be effective as of the      day of             ,          between Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation and                      (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the ability to attract and retain highly competent persons as directors and officers of the Company is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be adequate protection against risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the Company in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable and prudent for the Company to contractually obligate itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; and

WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve or continue to serve for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that the Indemnitee be so indemnified;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1.    Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee serves or has agreed to serve as an officer or director of the Company. This Agreement provides various assurances to Indemnitee in connection with such service, but does not impose any independent obligation on the Company to continue Indemnitee’s service to the Company except as otherwise provided by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as amended from time to time (“Charter Documents”), or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee.

2.    Statutory Indemnity. In addition to any other indemnification rights Indemnitee may have under the Charter Documents and otherwise under this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent authorized or permitted by the applicable provisions of law including, without limitation, the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) as in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; provided, however, that no change in the Maryland MGCL shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder. The rights of Indemnitee provided in this Section 2 shall include, without limitation, the right to any indemnification permitted or required by Section 2-418 of the MGCL.

3.    Contractual Indemnity. In addition to any other indemnification rights Indemnitee may have under the Charter Documents and otherwise under this Agreement, but subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Indemnitee:

(a)    against any and all expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in defense or investigation of any claim, including a claim against the Company or Indemnitee with respect to this Agreement, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether civil (including intentional and unintentional tort claims), criminal, administrative or


investigative (formal or informal and including an action by or in the right of the Company), including appeals therefrom (collectively, “Proceedings”), to which Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise;

(b)    otherwise to the fullest extent as may be permitted to Indemnitee by the Company under the non-exclusivity provisions of Section 10.2.2 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof and subparagraphs (g) and (h) of Section 2-418 of the MGCL or any successor provision; and

(c)    the Company covenants and agrees to maintain Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance on terms at least as favorable to Indemnitee as the policy in effect on the date hereof (the “D&O Policy”) unless otherwise approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company.

4.    Standard for Indemnification. Indemnity pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall be paid by the Company, unless:

(a)    the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

(b)    Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services;

(c)    in the case of any criminal Proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful or is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty of a felony directly related to Indemnitee’s dealings with the Company;

(d)    a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter, or an opinion of Company counsel (or, if requested by Indemnitee, counsel independent of the Company and Indemnitee) shall determine that such indemnification is unlawful; or

(e)    the liability arises under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with any offering registered under that Act and the Company has not received an opinion of its counsel or opinion of a court of appropriate jurisdiction that such indemnification is not against public policy.

5.    Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter for the benefit of Indemnitee and his personal representatives, with respect to any Proceeding that may be asserted, threatened or exist by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a director of the Company or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

 

2


6.    Notification and Defense of Claim.

(a)    Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of expenses hereunder and shall include with such notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of the facts underlying the Proceeding. The failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right of Indemnitee to indemnification or the advance of expenses under this Agreement, unless the Company’s ability to defend in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) below, the Company shall have the right to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under Section 6(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which: (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, or (iii) would impose any expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee.

(c)    After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election so to assume the defense thereof the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, or reasonable expenses incurred by Indemnitee in interpreting this Agreement and in concluding whether or not a conflict of interest may exist as contemplated in (ii) below, or as otherwise provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its counsel in such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless: (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, on the advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding which would materially hinder the ability of counsel to the Company to represent Indemnitee, or (iii) the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above.

(d)    The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e)    Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall require Indemnitee or the Company to take any actions which would limit the availability of coverage under the D&O Policy or would permit the carrier to disclaim coverage. Indemnitee and the Company agree to use their respective best efforts to comply with the terms and conditions of the D&O Policy.

 

3


7.    Advance of Expenses. The Company shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnity’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification hereunder, advance to Indemnitee all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding against Indemnitee, within ten (10) business days of receiving, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding: (a) a written affirmation of Indemnitee that (i) the act or omission giving rise to any such Proceeding was not committed in bad faith or the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, and (ii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, Indemnitee did not have reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission giving rise to such Proceeding was unlawful, and (b) a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law.

8.    Indemnification and Advance of Expenses as a Witness or Other Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is or may be, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding, whether instituted by the Company or any other party, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be advanced all reasonable expenses and indemnified against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith within ten (10) business days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting any such advance or indemnification from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by Indemnitee.

9.    Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(a)    To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from time to time and at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure of Indemnitee to provide such a request to the Company, or to provide such a request in a timely fashion, shall not relieve the Company of any liability that it may have to Indemnitee unless, and to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the interests of the Company.

(b)    Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a) above, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors not, at the time, parties to the Proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of one or more Directors not, at the time, parties to such Proceeding and who were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority of the full Board of Directors, in which Indemnitee and any other directors party to the Proceeding may participate in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, (ii) if special legal counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL, by such special legal counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (iii) if so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors (in which Indemnitee and any other directors party to the Proceeding may participate), by the shareholders of the Company. The Company will promptly advise Indemnitee in writing with respect to any determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of

any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) business days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or special legal counsel, if retained pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9(b). Any expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

(c)    The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of special legal counsel, if one is appointed pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii) above.

10.    Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are as favorable as may be permitted under the MGCL and public policy of the State of Maryland. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

(a)    In making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption.

(b)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.

(c)    The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

(d)    The knowledge or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any other right to indemnification under this Agreement.

11.    Enforcement. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Company hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to become or continue as a director or officer of the Company, and acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity. In the event either the Company or Indemnitee brings any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all of Indemnitee’s reasonable fees and expenses in defending, bringing or pursuing such action.

12.    Contribution. If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than for failure to satisfy the standard of conduct set forth in Section 4, then, in respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, the Company, in lieu or indemnifying and holding harmless Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.

13.    Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

14.    Governing Law; Binding Effect; Amendment and Termination.

(a)    This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws except to the extent the laws of the State of Maryland apply by reason of the fact that the Company is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland.

(b)    This Agreement shall be binding upon Indemnitee and upon the Company, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and supersedes any prior agreement between the parties.

(c)    No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.
