WHO have requested that the Undersigned Notary notarise this Amendment n°1 to the credit agreement dated 29 December 2014.

To aid the understanding of the reminders hereafter, the Parties declare that the capitalised terms, hereinafter used, shall have the meaning assigned to them in the credit agreement deed (inclusive of Recitals) specified hereafter, received by the Undersigned Notary on 29 December 2014, to which the Parties shall refer, unless specifically defined otherwise herein:

 

(A)REMINDERS

 

1.Original Credit Agreement

 

Under the terms of a credit agreement received by Maître Vincent AUDOIR, Notary in partnership of the Undersigned Notary with the participation of Maître Julien CAHEN, Participating Notary, dated 29 December 2014 (the Date of the Original Credit Agreement), the Borrowers and the Initial Lender have agreed the terms of grant and release by the Initial Lender to the Borrowers of a credit facility of a maximum amount in principal of FIFTY MILLION EURO (EUR 50,000,000), (hereinafter the Initial Facility), allocated to each Borrower as follows:

 

(i)the sum of EIGHT MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO (EUR 8,300,000) to Borrower I, the subject of a single drawdown on the Date of the Original Credit Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2.3 of the Agreement, for the purposes of financing, proportionally, the Bordeaux Pre-Tax Acquisition Price;

 

(ii)the sum of FIVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO (EUR 5,800,000) to Borrower II, the subject of a single drawdown on the Date of the Original Credit Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2.3 of the Agreement, for the purposes of financing, proportionally, the Marseille Pre-Tax Acquisition Price; and

 

(iii)the sum of THIRTY-FIVE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO (EUR 35,900,000) to Borrower III, to be the subject of a single drawdown on or before the final day of the Period of Use in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2.4 of the Agreement, for the purposes of financing, proportionally, the Rueil Acquisition Price.

 

2.Acquisition of the Rueil Property by Borrower III

 

Under the terms of a Deed of Sale, the notarised copy of which is to be received on this day by Maitre Laurent HOSANA, Notary in Paris 17th district, (the Rueil Acquisition Deed), Borrower III intends to acquire from FONCIERE DE PARIS SIIC, a public limited company (société anonyme) with share capital of EUR 64,322,535, the registered office of which is in Paris (7th arrondissement), at 43 Rue Saint Dominique, identified in SIREN under number 331 250 472 and registered in the Trade and Companies Register of Paris (Vendor III), the Rueil Property for an amount equal to the Rueil Acquisition Price, namely EUR 66,000,000.

 

5
 

 

Under the terms of the aforementioned credit agreement dated 29 December 2014 (the Original Credit Agreement), the Rueil Acquisition Price shall be financed by means of:

 

(i)the sum of EUR 35,900,000 from the Initial Facility; and

 

(ii)the balance of EUR 30,100,000 from the equity contributed by the Majority Shareholder to Borrower III, in the form of a Subordinated Loan.

 

(B)INCREASE OF THE INITIAL FACILITY

 

In early January 2015, Borrower III informed the Agent that it was not able to access all of the equity required for the payment of the Rueil Acquisition Price and the related acquisition costs.

 

Borrower III therefore requested from the Initial Lender an additional line of credit for an amount in principal of TWENTY MILLION EURO (EUR 20,000,000) (the Additional Tranche), to be used to finance, proportionally, the Rueil Acquisition Price, which was granted by the Initial Lender.

 

Consequently, the Initial Facility and the Additional Tranche together total the sum of SEVENTY MILLION EURO (EUR 70,000,000) (the Facility); the Facility shall be allocated as follows:

 

(a)a tranche of a maximum amount in principal of FIFTY MILLION EURO (EUR 50,000,000) corresponding to the Initial Tranche (the Initial Tranche) allocated to each Borrower as follows:

 

(i)the sum of EIGHT MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO (EUR 8,300,000) to Borrower I, the subject of a single drawdown on the Date of the Original Credit Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2.3 of the Agreement, to be used to finance, proportionally, the Bordeaux Pre-Tax Acquisition Price;

 

(ii)the sum of FIVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO (EUR 5,800,000) to Borrower II, the subject of a single drawdown on the Date of the Original Credit Agreement, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2.3 of the Agreement, to be used to finance, proportionally, the Marseille Pre-Tax Acquisition Price; and

 

(iii)the sum of THIRTY-FIVE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND EURO (EUR 35,900,000) to Borrower III, to be the subject of a single drawdown on this day, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2.4 of the Agreement, to be used to finance, proportionally, the Rueil Acquisition Price.

 

6
 

 

(b)the Additional Tranche of a maximum amount in principal of TWENTY MILLION EURO (EUR 20,000,000) allocated to Borrower III, to be the subject of a single Drawdown on this day, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Clause 2 of Amendment N°1, to be used to finance, proportionally, the Rueil Acquisition Price.

 

(C)AMENDMENT N°1 TO THE ORIGINAL CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

The Parties agree to amend certain terms and conditions of the Original Credit Agreement, namely for the purposes of:

 

-integrating the provisions relating to the Additional Tranche, the main features of which differ from those applicable to the Initial Tranche;

 

-providing for the lender's lien to be granted by Borrower III as security for its obligations under the Additional Tranche;

 

-to modifying some of the Security Interests granted on the Date of the Original Credit Agreement or to be granted on the Rueil Acquisition Date, to ensure that they also cover the obligations of Borrower III under the Additional Tranche,

 

in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Amendment (Amendment N°1).

 

As security for the obligations of the Borrowers under the Facility, the Lenders shall be granted the security interests and guarantees listed in Clause 12 of the Agreement, in accordance with the conditions set out more fully in the Agreement.

 

The Lenders have made the security interests and guarantees listed in Clause 13 of the Agreement a material and determinative condition of their participation in the Facility without which none of the Borrowers would have obtained financing from the Lenders in accordance with the conditions of this Agreement.

 

It is moreover and to the extent required specified that the Lenders have also made the obligations of each Borrower in the context of any Over-Amortisation (as defined in the Agreement), joint and several liability and cross-default between the Borrowers a material and determinative condition of their participation in the Facility and the financial conditions applicable to said Facility.

4.7Representative of the Borrowers Surety

 

Taking into account the increase to the Initial Facility agreed under the terms of this Amendment N°1, the Beneficiaries (as defined below) release the Representative of the Borrowers Surety granted by the Representative of the Borrowers, on the Date of the Original Credit Agreement and under the terms of Clause 12.9 of the Original Credit Agreement, in return for the granting by the Representative of the Borrowers of the Representative of the Borrowers Security (as defined below) on the Date of Amendment N°1, this surety henceforth covering the obligations of the Borrowers under the Facility as increased in accordance with the terms of this Amendment N°1.

 

The Representative of the Borrowers shall act as joint and several surety with the Borrowers with regard to the Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders (the Beneficiaries), under the Facility entered into by them and more generally as security for the obligations of the Borrowers in accordance with terms of the Finance Documents, pursuant to the application of this clause and in accordance with the conditions of Articles 2288 et seq. of the French Civil Code (the Representative of the Borrowers Surety).

The Representative of the Borrowers, in its capacity as surety, hereby irrevocably and expressly waives the benefit of Articles 2309 and 2316 of the French Civil Code and undertakes accordingly not to take any action against the Borrowers in the event of an extension of the term granted by the Beneficiaries or any one of them.

 

The Representative of the Borrowers, in its capacity as surety, irrevocably and expressly waives, until such time as the Secured Obligations are discharged in full, its right: (i) to take any action or seek any remedy (including the personal remedy provided for by Article 2305 of the French Civil Code) and any right (including any contractual or statutory subrogation) that it might hold pursuant to the Representative of the Borrowers Surety against the Borrowers; and (ii) to invoke the benefit of any security granted to the Beneficiaries pursuant to the Secured Obligations.

The Representative of the Borrowers Surety shall continue to produce its effects in the event of a deferral of maturity, any extension of payment periods or any amendment, even if tacit, to the terms of the Finance Documents, without it being necessary to notify any such event to the Representative of the Borrowers, and such an event may in no circumstances be deemed to constitute a novation.

 

The Representative of the Borrowers Surety shall continue to produce its full effects in all circumstances, and in particular should a Borrower constitute the subject-matter of an Insolvency Procedure or any other judicial or extrajudicial procedure seeking to bring about the collective discharge of its liabilities or its reorganisation (inter alia by way of a merger or demerger) or seeking to achieve similar objectives, with the Representative of the Borrowers remaining, notwithstanding the occurrence of such events, personally liable without being able to invoke with regard to any one of the Beneficiaries any conditions that may be invoked by the relevant Borrower with regard to the surety in the context of such procedures, subject to the mandatory provisions of the French Commercial Code.

 

It is expressly agreed with the Representative of the Borrowers that no change whatsoever to the legal situation of a Borrower or any one of the Beneficiaries (and in particular but without limitation any merger, demerger, partial asset contribution or change of corporate form), inter alia in the event of a novation, may bring to an end the obligations of the Representative of the Borrowers pursuant to the Representative of the Borrowers Surety.

 

Subject to Article L. 313-22 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, the Representative of the Borrowers acknowledges that it is in a position to personally monitor the situation of each Borrower for whom it acts as surety.
