14. Commitments and Contingencies

a) Environmental

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. Our compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and we do not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current properties or on properties that we may acquire.

b) Tax Protection Agreements

Concurrent with the completion of our initial public offering and the related formation transactions, we also entered into a tax protection agreement with Michael P. Ibe, a director and our Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President — Development and Acquisitions, under which we agreed to indemnify Mr. Ibe for any taxes incurred as a result of a taxable sale of the properties contributed by certain entities beneficially owned by Mr. Ibe in the formation transactions for a period of eight years after the closing of the initial public offering and the formation transactions. We also agreed in the tax protection agreement with Mr. Ibe to use the “traditional method” of making allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code for the eight-year period.

In connection with our acquisitions of certain properties in 2021 and 2022 we entered into a tax protection agreement, under which we agreed to indemnify the contributor for any taxes incurred as a result of a taxable sale of such property for a period of four years. We also agreed in the tax protection agreement with the contributor to use the “traditional method” of making allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code for the four-year period.

As of each of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $0.1 million of standby letters of credit. There were no draws against these letters of credit during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.
