Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 10-Q or incorporated by reference herein are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimates”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import, or the negative thereof. Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the economic, political and social impact of, and uncertainty relating to, the COVID-19 pandemic, including: (a) the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of governmental relief in providing assistance to large and small businesses, particularly including our retail tenants and other retailers, that have suffered significant declines in revenues as a result of mandatory business shut-downs, “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, as well as individuals adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) the duration of any such orders or other formal recommendations for social distancing and the speed and extent to which revenues of our retail tenants recover following the lifting of any such orders or recommendations, (c) the potential impact of any such events on the obligations of the Company’s tenants to make rent and other payments or honor other commitments under existing leases, (d) the potential adverse impact on returns from redevelopment projects, (e) to the extent we were seeking to sell properties in the near term, significantly greater uncertainty regarding our ability to do so at attractive prices, and (f) the broader impact of the severe economic contraction and increase in unemployment that has occurred in the short term and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not quickly reversed; (ii) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants and other third parties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with the Company; (iii) the loss or bankruptcy of the Company’s tenants, particularly in light of the adverse impact to the financial health of many retailers that has occurred and continues to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; (iv) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants to renew their leases with the Company upon expiration, the Company’s ability to re-lease its properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event the Company exercises its right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations the Company may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant, particularly, in light of the adverse impact to the financial health of many retailers that has occurred and continues to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the significant uncertainty as to when and the conditions under which potential tenants will be able to operate physical retail locations in future; (v) macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to capital markets and the adverse impact of the recent significant decline in the Company’s share price from prices prior to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic; (vi) financing risks, such as the Company’s inability to obtain new financing or refinancing on favorable terms as the result of market volatility or instability; (vii) increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors, including the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021; (viii) the impact of the Company’s leverage on operating performance; (ix) risks related to the market for retail space generally, including reductions in consumer spending, variability in retailer demand for leased space, adverse impact of e-commerce, ongoing consolidation in the retail sector and changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence; (x) risks endemic to real estate and the real estate industry generally; (xi) competitive risks; (xii) risks related to the geographic concentration of the Company’s properties in the Washington, D.C. to Boston corridor; (xiii) damage to the Company’s properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; (xiv) the inability of the Company to realize anticipated returns from its redevelopment activities; (xv) uninsured losses; (xvi) the Company’s ability and willingness to maintain its qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; and (xvii) information technology security breaches. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and other documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. All of the above factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect the Company’s actual results and may be beyond the Company’s control.  New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company’s management to predict all such factors or to assess the effects of each factor on the Company’s business. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s current expectations will be realized.

Note 1. Business and Organization

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that focuses primarily on ownership, operation and redevelopment of grocery-anchored shopping centers in high-density urban markets from Washington, D.C. to Boston. At September 30, 2021, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 53 operating properties (excluding properties “held for sale”).

Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At September 30, 2021, the Company owned a 99.4% general and limited partnership interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership (0.6% at September 30, 2021) is represented by partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net equity. The 81,000 OP Units outstanding at September 30, 2021 are economically equivalent to shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, for cash. Unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to OP Units exclude limited partnership units held by the Company.

As used herein, the “Company” refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

(unaudited)

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company is evaluating its election on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company provided lease concessions to certain tenants in response to the impact of COVID-19, in the form of rent deferrals.  The Company has made an election to account for such lease concessions consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 if enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions had already existed in the leases.  This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the Company’s rights as lessor, including concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified lease being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original lease.

Substantially all of the Company’s concessions to date provide for a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original lease. These deferrals affect the timing, but not the amount, of the lease payments.  The Company is accounting for these deferrals as if no changes to the lease were made. Under this accounting, the Company increases its receivables as tenant payments accrue and continues to recognize rental income. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $3.5 million, of which $2.4 million relates to deferrals that the Company continued to recognize rental income. In addition, through September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into agreements that waived approximately $2.4 million of rent.  

Note 3. Real Estate 

On September 9, 2021, the Company announced that it is exploring, among other alternatives, a potential sale or merger involving the entire Company, and alternatively the potential sale of its core grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio and its mixed-use redevelopment projects. As part of this dual-track strategic alternatives process, the Company has determined that certain of the Company’s operating properties would be sold significantly prior to the end of their previously estimated hold periods. Therefore, the Company recorded $82.7 million in impairment charges.

Investment in unconsolidated joint venture

On May 5, 2021, the Company formed a joint venture with Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and Asland Capital Partners (the “Joint Venture”) for the construction of an approximately 258,000 square foot six-story commercial building in Washington, D.C. consisting of approximately 240,000 square feet of office space which is 100% leased to the Washington, D.C., Department of General Services (“DGS”) for its headquarters and approximately 18,000 square feet of street-level retail. The term of the lease with DGS is for 20 years and 10 months, to commence upon substantial completion and delivery to the DGS. This building is planned as the first phase of Northeast Heights, a redevelopment of two existing shopping centers, East River Park and Senator Square, into a mixed-use residential, office and retail property. Further, the Joint Venture has secured construction financing from JP Morgan not to exceed $105 million. The construction loan initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and has an initial term of three years with two, one-year extension options subject to customary conditions. The Company has a 10% interest in the joint venture and is a co-general partner along with Asland Capital Partners. The Company has contributed approximately $3.2 million of capital to the Joint Venture as of September 30, 2021. The Company has sold approximately $8.0 million of development costs to the Joint Venture as of September 30, 2021.

The Joint Venture currently estimates that the space will be delivered during the end of the fourth quarter 2022. Upon completion of the building, DGS will be obligated to pay initial annual net rent of approximately $5.4 million per year, subject to a 2.5% annual escalator on each anniversary of rent commencement, plus certain operating costs, property taxes and amortization of tenant improvements together totaling approximately an additional $8.1 million per year, for an aggregate total annual rent of

13

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

(unaudited)

approximately $13.5 million. The lease provides for a free rent period of 10 months immediately following rent commencement. The Lease also provides DGS with a tenant credit of approximately $6.8 million to be applied, at DGS’s election, against either annual rent or any other tenant payment obligations including tenant improvement costs, in excess of the tenant improvement allowance. Pursuant to the lease, the Joint Venture will contribute up to $155 per rentable square foot toward the cost of tenant improvements, to be amortized over 240 months. In addition, the lease provides that the Joint Venture will contribute $9.38 per rentable square foot in additional tenant improvement allowance between the 10th and 12th lease years, upon DGS’s timely election. The obligations of DGS under the Lease are subject to annual budget appropriation.

Dispositions

The following table shows the property dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

							Gain on Sale/
				Date	Sales		Reversal of
Dispositions	Location	GLA		Sold	Price		Impairment
Kempsville Crossing (land parcel)	Virginia Beach, VA		-	2/24/2021	$	1,300,000	$	1,047,000

			633,507		$	100,723,500	$	51,753,000

The gain on sales and the reversal of impairments are included in operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Real Estate Held for Sale

As of September 30, 2021, Carll’s Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey, has been classified as “real estate held for sale” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.      

The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties “held for sale” based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow or income capitalization analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4 - “Fair Value Measurements”), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company’s determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to “held for sale”, the Company performed recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments’ use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties’ meeting the “held for sale” criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair value less costs to sell, if applicable.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s investments and liabilities related to share-based compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loan was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with a similar term and maturity.  As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans payable, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, was $162.5 million and $47.0 million, respectively; the carrying value of such loan was $157.0 million and $45.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the aggregate fair values of

14

Cedar Realty Trust, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

(unaudited)

the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans approximated their carrying values. In addition, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage note receivable and finance lease obligation, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The valuations of the assets and liabilities for the Company’s interest rate swaps, which are measured on a recurring basis, were determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions. Such valuations were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”.

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate held for use and real estate held for sale, which, if applicable, are measured on a nonrecurring basis, and have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, income capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and income capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period. These cash flows were composed of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach is utilized for certain land values and includes comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.

The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

In connection with the dual-track strategic alternatives process being pursued by the Company, it was determined that certain of the Company’s operating properties would be sold significantly prior to the end of their previously estimated hold periods. As of September 30, 2021, the Company tested the recoverability of real estate held for use and, as a result of the carrying amount of the assets not being deemed recoverable and exceeding their fair value as measured on an asset by asset basis, recorded $82.3 million in

impairment charges. These charges are included in Impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations. Such assets have an aggregate fair value of $247.4 million as of September 30, 2021. The fair value of the assets was determined to be Level 3 under the hierarchy and was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using a direct capitalization approach, consisting of capitalization rates ranging from 6.0% to 8.8%, with a weighted average of 6.9%.

As of September 30, 2021, real estate held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet consisted of one retail property, totaling $1.9 million, which was determined to be Level 3 assets under the hierarchy, and was measured at fair value less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis using a direct capitalization approach, consisting of a capitalization rate of 9.1%. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an impairment of $0.4 million, which is included in Impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations.

(a) The mortgages for these properties are cross-collateralized.

(b) The revolving credit facility is subject to two one-year extensions at the Company’s option.

(c) The interest rates on these term loans consist of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt. 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On August 30, 2021, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and $50 million term loan. After the amendment, the new unsecured revolving credit facility is $185 million with an expiration in August 2024. The new unsecured revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. Interest on the borrowings under the new unsecured revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (150 bps at September 30, 2021), based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company extended its $50 million term loan four years with an expiration in August 2026.

On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its then existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company’s financial ratios and borrowing base are all computed using the trailing four quarters as opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt.

The Company’s unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt and exercise of other lender remedies. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income for the trailing twelve months, as defined in the agreements. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $66.0 million outstanding and $117.9 million available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and was in compliance with all financial covenants.    

Mortgage Loans Payable

On May 5, 2021, the Company closed a non-recourse mortgage for $114.0 million. The mortgage matures June 1, 2031, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 3.49% and requires payment of interest only for the first five years followed by payments of principal and interest based on thirty-year amortization for the remainder of the term. The loan is secured by five shopping centers consisting of Lawndale Plaza, The Shops at Suffolk Downs, Christina Crossing, Trexlertown Plaza, and The Point.  These properties had no pre-existing debt and the proceeds from this new loan were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of the interest rate swaps applicable to the unsecured term loans discussed above are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), limited partners’ interest, or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $6.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified as a decrease to earnings within the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

As of September 30, 2021, the Company believes it has no significant risk associated with non-performance of the financial institutions which are the counterparties to its derivative contracts.  

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company is the lessee under several ground leases and its executive office lease agreement. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 29.4 years and the weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company’s lease liability is approximately 5.7%. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.   

During the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 began spreading globally, with the outbreak being classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The Company currently faces significant risks and uncertainties related to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. Certain tenants have announced temporary closures of their stores and have requested rent deferrals or forgiveness during this pandemic. COVID-19 could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow which could result in (1) the Company’s tenants being unable to fully meet their obligations and to seek modification of their obligations, resulting in increases in uncollectible rents and a reduction in rental income, (2) difficulties in the Company’s future compliance with financial covenants in regards to its unsecured credit facilities, and (3) the recognition of impairments charges of the Company’s real estate.

As a result of COVID-19, the Company has received numerous rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. During the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company collected 97% of contractual base rents and monthly tenant reimbursements, respectively. Through September 30, 2021, the Company deferred approximately $3.5 million and waived approximately $2.4 million of rental income, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the weighted average payback period for the remaining deferred rent receivable is approximately 10 months, beginning at various times from July 2020 through June 2021.

The Company reviews the collectability of charges under its tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in

which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. During 2021 and 2020, the Company’s assessment has specifically included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which represents a material risk to collectability. In the event that collectability with respect to any tenant changes the Company recognizes an adjustment to rental income. The Company’s review of collectability of charges under its operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue. During 2021 and 2020, the Company identified various tenants where collection was no longer considered probable, and therefore, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, $0.3 million and $1.3 million of billed charges, consisting of rent and tenant reimbursements, were unpaid. Based on the Company’s determination to record revenue on a cash basis for these tenants, these amounts were not recorded as revenue.

Note 9. Share-Based Compensation

The following tables set forth certain share-based compensation information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

Forfeitures/cancellations		(40,000	)		17.20
Unvested shares/units, March 31, 2021		507,000		$	24.00

On June 15, 2018, the Company’s President and CEO was granted a market performance-based equity award of 227,272 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 227,272 dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) of the Company. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share if certain market performance criteria are achieved. Each DER accrues and will be deemed to be reinvested into the Company’s common stock for which payment will only be made for the portion of the market performance-based equity award that are earned and vest. During the three years ending June 15, 2021 (the “Interim Performance Period”), a maximum of 113,636 shares were earned. Any portion of the market performance-based equity award that was not earned as of the end of the Interim Performance Period will be carried forward for calculation for the five years ending June 15, 2023 (the “Full Performance Period”). The percentage of the market performance-based equity award to be earned will be determined based on the Company’s annual return on an investment in the Company’s common stock (“TSR”) over the Interim Performance Period and/or over the Full Performance Period as follows: if average annual TSR (1) is below 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 0%, (2) equals 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 33.3%, (3) equals 6.5%, the percentage of grant earned would be 66.7%, and (4) equals 10% or above, the percentage of grant earned would be 100%. Linear interpolation shall be applied to determine the percentage of the market performance-based equity award that is earned where the average annual TSR over the performance period falls between the percentages set forth above.  Based on market performance for the Interim Performance Period, it was determined the Company’s President and CEO earned 113,636 shares. Accordingly, on July 20, 2021, the Company issued 113,636 common shares to the CEO and paid him $0.3 million for the related DERs.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities). Unvested restricted shares that are participating securities are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 0.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding that were participating securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Numerator
Net (loss) income	$	(80,883,000	)	$	1,404,000		$	(28,166,000	)	$	(6,703,000	)

Net earnings allocated to unvested shares		(29,000	)		(28,000	)		(92,000	)		(210,000	)
Net loss attributable to vested common shares	$	(83,233,000	)	$	(1,449,000	)	$	(36,505,000	)	$	(15,350,000	)

Weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding, basic and diluted		13,252,000			13,110,000			13,191,000			13,101,000
Net loss per common share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted	$	(6.28	)	$	(0.11	)	$	(2.77	)	$	(1.17	)

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, no RSUs would have been issuable under the Company’s President and CEO market performance-based equity award had the measurement period ended on September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and therefore this market performance-based equity award had no impact in the calculation of diluted EPS. Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no dilutive effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding were 81,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

In determining subsequent events, management reviewed all activity from October 1, 2021 through the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other than those events disclosed in this report, there were no other events or transactions that occurred that would require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Executive Summary

The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust that focuses primarily on ownership, operation and redevelopment of grocery-anchored shopping centers in high-density urban markets from Washington, D.C. to Boston. At September 30, 2021, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 53 operating properties (excluding properties “held for sale”) totaling 7.6 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). The portfolio was 89.8% leased and 87.7% occupied at September 30, 2021.

The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to leases. The Company’s operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of “necessities-based” properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.

Significant Circumstances and Transactions

COVID-19 Pandemic

As a result of COVID-19, the Company has received numerous rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $3.5 million and waived approximately $2.4 million of rental income through September 30, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the weighted average payback period for remaining deferred rent receivable is approximately 10 months, beginning at various times from July 2020 through June 2021. The Company has collected approximately 97% and 97% of contractual base rents and monthly tenant reimbursements for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Real Estate

On September 9, 2021, the Company announced that it is exploring, among other alternatives, a potential sale or merger involving the entire Company, and alternatively the potential sale of its core grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio and its mixed-use redevelopment projects. As part of this dual-track strategic alternatives process, the Company has measured its held for use properties at quarter-end, at the lower of fair value or carrying value and determined that certain of the Company’s operating properties would be sold significantly prior to the end of their previously estimated hold periods. Therefore, the Company recorded $82.7 million in impairment charges.

On May 5, 2021, the Company formed a joint venture with Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and Asland Capital Partners (the “Joint Venture”) for the construction of an approximately 258,000 square foot six-story commercial building in Washington, D.C. consisting of approximately 240,000 square feet of office space which is 100% leased to the Washington, D.C., Department of General Services (“DGS”) for its headquarters and approximately 18,000 square feet of street-level retail. The term of the lease with DGS is for 20 years and 10 months, to commence upon substantial completion and delivery to the DGS. This building is planned as the first phase of Northeast Heights, a redevelopment of two existing shopping centers, East River Park and Senator Square, into a mixed-use residential, office and retail property. Further, the Joint Venture has secured construction financing from JP Morgan not to exceed $105 million. The construction loan initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and has an initial term of three years with two, one-year extension options subject to customary conditions. The Company has a 10% interest in the joint venture and is a co-general partner along with Asland Capital Partners. The Company has contributed approximately $3.2 million of capital to the Joint Venture as of September 30, 2021. The Company has sold approximately $8.0 million of development costs to the Joint Venture as of September 30, 2021.

The Joint Venture currently estimates that the space will be delivered during the end of the fourth quarter 2022. Upon completion of the building, DGS will be obligated to pay initial annual net rent of approximately $5.4 million per year, subject to a 2.5% annual escalator on each anniversary of rent commencement, plus certain operating costs, property taxes and amortization of tenant improvements together totaling approximately an additional $8.1 million per year, for an aggregate total annual rent of approximately $13.5 million. The lease provides for a free rent period of 10 months immediately following rent commencement. The lease also provides DGS with a tenant credit of approximately $6.8 million to be applied, at DGS’s election, against either annual rent or any other tenant payment obligations including tenant improvement costs, in excess of the tenant improvement allowance.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On August 30, 2021, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and $50 million term loan. After the amendment, the new unsecured revolving credit facility is $185 million with an expiration in August 2024. The new unsecured revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. Interest on the borrowings under the new unsecured revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (150 bps at September 30, 2021), based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company extended its $50 million term loan four years with an expiration in August 2026.

On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its then existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company’s financial ratios and borrowing base are all computed using trailing four quarters as opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt.

On October 27, 2020, the Company utilized its revolving credit facility to repay the $75.0 million term loan which was set to mature in February 2021. The revolving credit facility matures in September 2021, and may be extended, at the Company’s option, for an additional one-year period, subject to customary conditions.

Mortgage Loans Payable

On May 5, 2021, the Company closed a non-recourse mortgage for $114.0 million. The mortgage matures June 1, 2031, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 3.49% and requires payment of interest only for the first five years followed by payments of principal and interest based on thirty-year amortization for the remainder of the term. The loan is secured by five shopping centers consisting of Lawndale Plaza, The Shops at Suffolk Downs, Christina Crossing, Trexlertown Plaza, and The Point.  These properties had no pre-existing debt and the proceeds from this new loan were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Common Stock

On November 25, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-6.6 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Each 6.6 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of the Company’s common stock. The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock were not changed. In addition, the Company amended the Limited Partnership Agreement of our Operating Partnership to effect a corresponding reverse split of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. In accordance with GAAP, all shares of common stock, restricted stock units, OP Units and per share/unit information that are presented in this Form 10-Q were adjusted to reflect the reverse split on a retroactive basis for all periods presented.

23

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and purchase accounting allocations related thereto, asset impairments, and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. Management’s estimates are based both on information that is currently available and on various other assumptions management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those estimates could be different under varying assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes there have been no material changes to the items disclosed as its critical accounting policies under Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  See Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for recently-adopted accounting pronouncements.

Same-Property Net Operating Income

Same-property net operating income (“same-property NOI”) is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors as it provides an indication of the recurring cash generated by the Company’s properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as well as other infrequent items such as lease termination income which tends to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Properties are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized, and properties classified as held for sale. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI.

25

The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is consolidated operating income. Same-property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, same-property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Company’s peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison among REITs.

The following table reconciles same-property NOI to the Company’s consolidated operating income:

	For the three months ended September 30,						For the nine months ended September 30,

Same-property NOI for the comparable three and nine month periods increased 10.5% and 3.8%, respectively, as a result of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which reduced rental revenues for prior year same-property portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company funds operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, preferred and common dividend distributions and distributions to minority interest partners, if made, primarily from its operations. The Company may also use its revolving credit facility for these purposes. The Company expects to fund long-term liquidity requirements for property acquisitions, redevelopment costs, capital improvements, and maturing debt initially with its revolving credit facility, and ultimately through a combination of issuing and/or assuming additional debt, the sale of equity securities, the issuance of additional OP Units, and/or the sale of properties. Although the Company believes it has access to secured and unsecured financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will have access to financing for development projects, financing for additional construction projects, or proceeds from refinancing of existing debt.

26

Effective April 28, 2020, the average closing price of the Company’s common stock had been less than $1.00 over the prior 30-consecutive trading day period, and as a result, the Company received notice from the NYSE that the Company had until December 31, 2020 to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The threat of delisting and/or a delisting of the Company’s common stock could have adverse effects, such as restricting the Company’s ability to obtain equity financing. On October 27, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum NYSE share price requirement, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

On November 25, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-6.6 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Each 6.6 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share of the Company’s common stock. The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock were not changed. In addition, the Company amended the Limited Partnership Agreement of our Operating Partnership to effect a corresponding reverse split of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership.

On August 30, 2021, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and $50 million term loan. After the amendment, the new unsecured revolving credit facility is $185 million with an expiration in August 2024. The new unsecured revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. Interest on the borrowings under the new unsecured revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (150 bps at September 30, 2021), based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Interest on borrowings under the unsecured credit facility is based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company extended its $50 million term loan four years with an expiration in August 2026.

On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its then existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company’s financial ratios and borrowing base are all computed using the trailing four quarters as opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt.

The Company’s unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt and exercise of other lender remedies. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income for the trailing twelve months, as defined in the agreements.  As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $66.0 million outstanding and $117.9 million available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and was in compliance with all financial covenants.

On May 5, 2021, the Company closed a non-recourse mortgage for $114.0 million. The mortgage matures June 1, 2031, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 3.49% and requires payment of interest only for the first five years followed by payments of principal and interest based on thirty-year amortization for the remainder of the term. The loan is secured by five shopping centers consisting of Lawndale Plaza, The Shops at Suffolk Downs, Christina Crossing, Trexlertown Plaza, and The Point.  These properties had no pre-existing debt and the proceeds from this new loan were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

(a) The mortgages for these properties are cross-collateralized.

(b) The revolving credit facility is subject to two one-year extensions at the Company’s option.

(c) The interest rates on these term loans consist of LIBOR plus a credit spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt.

The Company is currently exploring secured and unsecured refinancing options with various lenders. The following table details the Company’s debt and finance lease obligation maturities at September 30, 2021:

	Mortgage Loan		Finance Lease		Revolving			Term

(a) The revolving credit facility is subject to two one-year extensions at the Company’s option.

Mortgage loans payable may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such “restricted cash” is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established, and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations.

In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company paid common stock and preferred stock dividends during 2020, and has continued to declare and pay common stock and preferred stock dividends during 2021. While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Additionally, the Board of Directors may reduce, as it did with the May 2020 common stock dividend of $0.01 per common share, or suspend payment of dividends to retain cash and reduce debt obligations and/or to fund redevelopments and other capital needs. The Company intends to continue to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements.

Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $37.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $43.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily a result of the Company accepting a payment of $8.0 million in consideration for permitting a dark anchor tenant to terminate its lease prior to the contractual expiration in 2020, which was partially offset by (1) the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and (2) property dispositions in 2020.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were primarily the result of the Company’s expenditures for property improvements and property disposition activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company received $104.5 million in proceeds from the sale of properties, which was partially off-set by $19.6 million for property improvements and $3.2 million in contributions to an unconsolidated joint venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred expenditures of $29.8 million for property improvements, which was partially offset by $5.0 million in proceeds from the sale of properties.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had net payments of $109.0 million under the revolving credit facility, a $100.0 million of term notes pay-off, $11.1 million of preferred stock and common stock distributions, $0.8 million of mortgage repayments, and $3.3 million of debt financing costs, $0.5 million of termination payments related to a swap liability, which were partially offset by net property specific mortgage note payables of $114.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had $14.3 million of preferred stock and common stock distributions, $0.8 million of mortgage repayments and $0.3 million of debt financing costs, which were partially offset by net advances of $14.9 million under the revolving credit facility.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The Company presents FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit generally defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties, impairment write-downs on real estate properties directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets.

The Company also considers Operating Funds From Operations (“Operating FFO”) to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, such as non-capitalized acquisition pursuit costs, amounts relating to early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption costs, management transition costs and certain redevelopment costs. The Company believes Operating FFO further assists in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items.

FFO and Operating FFO should be reviewed with net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company’s operating performance. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. The Company’s computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not by comparable to such REITs.

A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO and Operating FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

(b) Represents acceleration of amortization of financing costs related to term note paid-off prior to maturity.

(c) The weighted average number of diluted common shares used to compute FFO and Operating FFO applicable to diluted common shares includes OP Units and unvested restricted shares/units that are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.

Inflation

Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the Company’s results of operations. There have been mixed indications of an increase in inflation in the U.S. economy.  If inflation rates increase, substantially all of the Company’s tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses it incurs. Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

One of the principal market risks facing the Company is the risk of interest rate changes, primarily through its variable-rate revolving credit facility and term loans. The Company’s objectives with respect to interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on operations and cash flows, and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, the Company may borrow at either fixed rates or at variable rates and enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to mitigate its interest rate risk. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. The Company is not directly subject to foreign currency risk.

The Company has entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates for certain unsecured term loans. At September 30, 2021, the Company had $11.8 million included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet relating to the fair value of the interest rate swaps applicable to certain unsecured term loans.

At September 30, 2021, long-term debt consisted of a fixed-rate mortgage loan payable, a finance lease obligation, unsecured term loans, and the Company’s unsecured variable-rate credit facility. Excluding unamortized premiums and debt issuance costs, the average interest rate on the $464.5 million of fixed-rate debt outstanding was 3.7%, with maturities at various dates through 2050. The average interest rate on the $66.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding, which consists of the unsecured revolving credit facility,

30

was 1.6%. With respect to the $66.0 million of variable-rate debt, if contractual interest rates either increase or decrease by 100 bps, the Company’s interest cost would increase or decrease respectively by approximately $0.7 million per annum.

With respect to the Company’s fixed rate mortgage notes and unsecured term loans, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the Company’s interest expense as these notes are at fixed rates for extended terms. Because the Company presently intends to hold its existing fixed-rate debt either to maturity or until the sale of the associated property, these fixed-rate notes pose an interest rate risk to the Company’s results of operations and its working capital position only upon the refinancing of that indebtedness. The Company’s possible risk is from increases in long-term interest rates that may occur as this may increase the cost of refinancing maturing fixed-rate debt. In addition, the Company may incur prepayment penalties or defeasance costs when prepaying or defeasing debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Exchange Act is reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In this regard, the Company has formed a Disclosure Committee currently comprising several of the Company’s executive officers as well as certain other employees with knowledge of information that may be considered in the SEC reporting process. The Disclosure Committee has responsibility for the development and assessment of the financial and non-financial information to be included in the reports filed with the SEC, and assists the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with their certifications contained in the Company’s SEC filings. The Disclosure Committee meets regularly and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly or more frequent basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, and have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

may be exercised by the Borrower by written notice to the Administrative Agent, which election shall designate the requested increase in the Total Commitment.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders), and each Lender shall endeavor to respond as promptly as possible within such time period.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment (which decision shall be in its sole discretion) and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement (each a “Joinder Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.  If the Total Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase (with such increase being pro rata among existing Lenders choosing to increase their Commitments) and the Increase Effective Date.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.1.1(d), the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.8 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.2.1 and Section 7.2.2, and except as to the representations and warranties in Sections 6.4, 6.7, 6.9, and 6.14 which may be modified only to reflect events occurring after the date hereof as specifically disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent prior to or simultaneously with such written request and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists.  The Borrower shall prepay amounts of the Loan outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.3.15) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loan ratable with any revised Commitment Percentages arising from any non-

36

ratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 12.2 or 13.4.1 to the contrary.

2.1.2Procedures and Limits

.  Until the Maturity Date, the Lenders shall, subject to the compliance with all of the other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the absence of any Default or Event of Default at the time of such disbursement, make disbursements to the Borrower of Loan Advances in installments in accordance with the following:

(a)Written Requests.  Loan Advances shall be made, at the Borrower’s written request to Administrative Agent, on the basis of written requests, made in accordance with the method and procedures described in Section 2.1.3 below; and Administrative Agent shall act upon such requests within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of a written request from Borrower for a LIBOR Rate Advance and within one (1) Business Day following the receipt of a written request from Borrower for a Base Rate Advance, which action may include, without limitation, funding the requested Loan Advance or specifying the basis for not funding and, when applicable, requesting additional information and supporting documentation.  The date on which any Loan Advance is funded (or Letter of Credit is issued) is herein called a “Drawdown Date.”

(b)Requisitions, Certifications.  Each request for a Loan Advance shall be in writing and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Loan Notice”).  Each such request shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan Advance requested, (ii) the purpose of the Loan Advance requested, (iii) the Total Outstandings (including the funding of the Loan Advance being requested), (iv) the then aggregate amount which may be funded under this Agreement, (v) calculations evidencing the Borrower’s continued compliance with the Financial Covenants, as satisfied by the Closing Compliance Certificate, or once delivered, the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered by the Borrower, (vi) the requested interest rate option, and (vii) the Interest Period (if applicable).  Each request for a Loan Advance hereunder shall be for (a) a minimum amount as required by Section 2.3.6, and (b) an amount not to exceed (x) the Maximum Loan Amount less (y) the Total Outstandings (after giving effect to such Loan Advance).

2.1.3Funding Procedures

.  Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Drawdown Date and of the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loans.  In the case of a Loan Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of its Commitment Percentage of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified as the Drawdown Date in the applicable Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (and, if such Loan Advance is the initial credit extension, Section 5.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of KeyBank with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative

37

Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Loan Advance is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Loan Advance, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

2.2Term of Loan.

2.2.1Maturity

.  The Facility shall be for a term (the “Initial Term”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on August_30, 2024 (the “Initial Maturity Date”) or such earlier date as the Facility is accelerated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon an Event of Default.  The Initial Term may be extended for two one-year periods (each an “Extended Term”) until August_30, 2025 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”) and then until August 30, 2026 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”)  upon satisfaction of the following conditions (hereinafter, the Initial Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date and the Second Extended Maturity Date may be referred to herein sometimes as the “Maturity Date” as may be applicable):

.

2.2.3Termination/Reduction of Commitments.

(a)The Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to terminate this Agreement (the date of such termination being the “Borrower Termination Date”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Credit Extension hereunder, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Termination Date to (x) pay in full all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Loan, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment and (y) either (1) provide Administrative Agent with cash collateral equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the outstanding amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit from a source other than the proceeds of the Loan or (2) return all outstanding Letters of Credit to the Administrative Agent.  If such cash collateral is posted, such funds shall be held in an interest bearing account at the Administrative Agent, shall be pledged to secure the Obligations, and shall be refunded on a dollar for dollar basis to the Borrower upon the return to the Administrative Agent, or the expiration, of each Letter of Credit.

(b)The Borrower shall have the right to reduce the Total Commitment to an amount not less than $150,000,000 prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date by providing the Administrative Agent with ten (10) days’ written notice of the Borrower’s intention to reduce the Total Commitment (the date of such reduction being the “Borrower Reduction

39

Date”). In the event that the Borrower provides such written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) as of the date of the notice, the Lenders shall have no further obligation to make or issue, and the Borrower shall have no further right to receive or request, any Loans or any Letters of Credit such that the Total Outstandings, would exceed such reduced Total Commitment, and (ii) the Borrower shall be obligated on the Borrower Reduction Date to pay in full the excess of outstanding principal balance of the Loan over the reduced Total Commitment, including, without limitation, any Breakage Fees due on account of such payment.  In order to effect such reduced Total Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall reduce the Lenders’ Commitments on a pro rata basis.

2.3.1Borrower’s Options

.  Principal amounts outstanding under the Loan shall bear interest at the following rates, at Borrower’s selection, subject to the conditions and limitations provided for in this Agreement: (i) the Base Rate Accrual Rate or (ii) LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default.

2.3.2Selection To Be Made

.  Borrower shall select, and thereafter may change the selection of, the applicable interest rate, from the alternatives otherwise provided for in this Agreement, by giving Administrative Agent a Loan Notice (in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.3, below): (i) three (3) Business Days prior to each Loan Advance, (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the end of each Interest Period applicable to a LIBO Rate Advance which shall be continued as a LIBO Rate Advance, or (iii) three (3) Business Days prior to any Business Day on which Borrower desires to convert an outstanding Base Rate Advance to a LIBO Rate Advance.

2.3.3Notice

.  Each Loan Advance, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of a LIBO Rate Advance shall be made upon the Authorized Officer’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) with respect to a LIBO Rate Advance, three (3) Business Days prior to, or (ii) with respect to a Base Rate Advance, the requested date of any Loan Advance, conversion or continuation.  Each telephonic notice pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.

2.3.4If No Notice

.  If (a) the Borrower fails to select an interest rate option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a Loan Advance, or at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period of an outstanding LIBO Rate Advance,

40

or (b) subject to Section 2.3.4, a LIBO Rate Advance is not available, then any new Loan Advance made shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Advance, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period all outstanding principal amounts of the applicable LIBO Rate Advance shall be deemed converted to a Base Rate Advance.

2.3.5Telephonic Notice

.  Without any way limiting the Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation.  In each case the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic Loan Notice in the absence of manifest error.

2.3.6Limits On Options

.  Each LIBO Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and each Base Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  At no time shall there be outstanding a total of more than six (6) LIBO Rate Advances outstanding at any time.

2.3.7Payment and Calculation of Interest

.  All interest for each Payment Period shall be payable in arrears commencing October 1, 2021 and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter until the principal together with all interest and other charges payable with respect to the Loan shall be fully paid.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.3.11, bear interest for one day.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding, under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.3.8Mandatory Principal Payments.

(a)If, on any day, the Total Outstandings exceed the Maximum Loan Amount, then the Borrower shall make a principal payment to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the amount of such excess, including any amounts required to be paid under Section 2.3.15 in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of demand from the Administrative Agent (a “Mandatory Principal Payment”); provided, however, that if during such ten (10) Business Day period, the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent Funding Evidence, such ten (10) Business Day period shall be extended for such additional time as the Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, to be required by the Borrower to make the Mandatory Principal Payment but in no event shall such period exceed a maximum of sixty (60) days from the date that the Mandatory Principal Payment would otherwise be due hereunder.  

41

(b)The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date

2.3.9Prepayment

.  The Loan or any portion thereof may be prepaid in full or in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent without premium or penalty with respect to Base Rate Advances and, with respect to LIBO Rate Advances, subject to payment of any applicable Breakage Fee.  Any amounts prepaid may be reborrowed subject to the terms hereof.  

2.3.10Maturity

.  At Maturity all accrued interest, principal and other charges due with respect to the Facility shall be due and payable in full and the principal balance and such other charges, including unpaid interest, shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, continue to bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate until so paid.

2.3.11Method of Payment; Date of Credit; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  

(a)General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Commitment Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b)(i)Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any LIBO Rate Advance (or, in the case of any Base Rate Advance, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Loan Advance) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 (or, in the case of a Base Rate Advance, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan Advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for

42

each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an 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 Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan Advance to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Loan Advance and the Borrower shall have no further obligation with respect thereto under this Section 2.3.11(b)(i) in respect of such Lender’s share of the Loan Advance; it being understood that such amount advanced by such Lender shall constitute a Loan for all purposes hereunder.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  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 L/C Issuer hereunder, stating 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, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds 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.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan Advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Section 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent

43

shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan Advance in any particular place or manner.

2.3.12Billings

.  The Administrative Agent may submit monthly billings reflecting payments due; however, any changes in the interest rate which occur between the date of billing and the due date may be reflected in the billing for a subsequent month.  Neither the failure of the Administrative Agent to submit a billing nor any error in any such billing shall excuse the Borrower from the obligation to make full payment of all the Borrower’s payment obligations when due.

2.3.13Default Rate.

(a)If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Section 10.1.1, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(b)In the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(c)Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

2.3.14Late Charges

.  The Borrower shall pay a late charge (herein, the “Late Charge”) equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any interest which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof.  Late charges are: (a) payable in addition to, and not in limitation of, the Default Rate, (b) intended to compensate the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for administrative and processing costs incident to late payments, (c) are not interest, and (d) shall not be subject to refund or rebate or credited against any other amount due.

2.3.15Breakage Fee

.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of the Administrative Agent (in the absence of manifest error), compensate the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the loss, cost or expense which it may reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of a LIBO Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of a LIBO Rate Advance, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or

44

involuntary, of any LIBO Rate Advance to any other applicable interest rate on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, including as a result of Section 2.6.10, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan Advance which was to have borne interest at the LIBO Rate pursuant to the request of the Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except as a result of any act or omission of Lender), (iv) the failure of the Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for a LIBO Rate Advance or (v) replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement, including prepayment of the Loan while the Benchmark Replacement is in effect.  Such amounts payable by the Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred plus any amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to fund or maintain a LIBO Rate Advance (herein, collectively, the “Breakage Fee”).  A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth the calculation and amount of its Breakage Fee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.3.16Borrower Information

.  The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Borrower’s Obligations and 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 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 Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were different 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 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.  Borrower shall receive a credit or refund of any overpayment promptly after such determination.  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 L/C Issuer’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement

2.4Loan Fees.

2.4.1Loan Fees

.  The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the parties specified therein the various fees in accordance with the Fee Letter.

2.4.2Unused Fee

.  The Borrower agrees to pay an unused line fee (the “Line Fee”) to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders.  The amount of the Line Fee on any given day shall equal the Line Percentage multiplied by the amount on such day by which the Total Commitment exceed the Total Outstandings (less the amount of any outstanding Swing Line Loans).  The Line Fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, with a final payment on the Maturity Date

45

and the first and last payments to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply.  

2.4.3Payment of Fees Generally

.  All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Fee Letter, fees paid under this Agreement shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

2.5Swing Line Loans.

2.5.1The Swing Line

.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.5, agrees to make Loans (each such Loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day between the date hereof and the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Loans under the Facility and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (x) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount, (ii) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Commitment, and (iii) the Total Outstandings held by any Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (y) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (z) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that there exists any Defaulting Lender, unless the Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender has been fully Cash Collateralized.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.5, prepay under this Section 2.5, and reborrow under this Section 2.5.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Advance.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

2.5.2Borrowing Procedures

.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $25,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by the Borrower.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone

or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in clause (x) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.5.1, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

2.5.3Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(a)The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.1.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.5.3(b), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(b)If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Loan in accordance with Section 2.5.3(a), the request for Base Rate Advances submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.3(a) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(c)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5.3 by the time specified in Section 2.5.3(a), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the

47

Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Credit Extension or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

2.5.4Repayment of Participations.  

(a)At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(b)If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances set forth in this Agreement (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.5.5Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender

.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Advances or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.5 to refinance such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in

48

respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

2.5.6Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender

.  The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.5.7Swing Line Note

.  The Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto (the “Swing Line Note”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions.  The Swing Line Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Line Sublimit and shall be payable as set forth above.

2.6Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate Selection.

2.6.1Increased Costs

.  If any Change in Law shall:

(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(b)subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBO Rate Advance made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof; or

(c)impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBO Rate Advances made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBO Rate Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, promptly upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth such amounts together with calculations thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.6.2Capital Requirements

.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or

49

liquidity ratios or requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time (and in any event within twenty (20) days) the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  A certificate from a Lender provided to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent setting forth such amounts together with calculations thereof shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.6.3Illegality

.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or Governmental Authority shall assert by directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBO Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain LIBO Rate Advances, and such Lender, without cost or expense,  cannot hold or administer its Commitment from an office where maintaining and funding LIBO Rate Advances can be accomplished, then, on written notice thereof and demand by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (a) the obligation of the Administrative Agent to make LIBO Rate Advances and to convert or continue any Loan as LIBO Rate Advances shall terminate and (b) at the end of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower shall convert all principal outstanding under this Agreement into Base Rate Advances.

2.6.4Availability

.  Subject to Section 2.6.10, if, before or after the Borrower has selected to take or maintain a LIBO Rate Advance, but before the Interest Period with respect thereto commences, the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that:

(a)Dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity requested are not available to the Lenders in the London interbank market at the rate specified in the definition of LIBO Rate set forth above, or

(b)Reasonable means do not exist for the Administrative Agent to determine the LIBO Rate for the amounts and maturity requested,

then the principal which would have been a LIBO Rate Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance.

2.6.5Base Rate Advances

.  Each Base Rate Advance shall continue as a Base Rate Advance until Maturity, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to a LIBO Rate Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

50

2.6.6Delay in Requests

.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

2.6.7Mitigation.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.6, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.8, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.8 or 2.6.1, 2.6.2, as the case may be, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.6.1 or 2.6.2, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.2.4.

2.6.8Survival

.  All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.6 shall survive termination of the Total Commitment, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

2.6.9Taxes

.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no additional amounts shall be payable by Borrower under this Section 2.6 with respect to Taxes on any amounts payable under the Loan Documents, which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof.

2.6.10Benchmark Replacement Setting

.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

51

(a)Replacing USD LIBOR

.  On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of USD LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a  public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings.  On the earliest of (i)  July 1, 2023, (ii) the date that all Available Tenors of USD LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (iii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.  

(b)Replacing Future Benchmarks

.  If any Benchmark Transition Event occurs after the date hereof (other than as described above with respect to USD LIBOR), the then-current Benchmark will be replaced with the Benchmark Replacement for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower (together, if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, with an amendment to this Agreement implementing such Benchmark Replacement and any applicable Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes), without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided, however, that in the event that the then-current Benchmark is not a SOFR-based rate, then the Benchmark Replacement shall be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” unless the Administrative Agent has determined that neither of such alternative rates is available.  At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base  Rate Advances.  During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate Accrual Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate Accrual Rate.  

52

(c)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement (whether in connection with the replacement of USD LIBOR or any future Benchmark), the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section including,  without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the timing of implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section, and shall not be a basis of any claim of liability of any kind or nature by any party hereto, all such claims being hereby waived individually by each party hereto.

(e)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR or any alternate rate selected in an Early Opt-in Election), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for such Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement)  settings and (ii) if such tenor becomes available or representative, the Administrative Agent may reinstate any previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including any Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(a)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.  (Eastern Time) at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the

58

L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(b)Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Borrower Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(c)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.  Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless all the Lenders have approved such later expiry date, subject to Section 2.7.7; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.7.1(c) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non‑Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 are not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

59

(d)If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”).  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement.  Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the L/C Issuer to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non-Reinstatement Deadline”), the L/C Issuer shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 are not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.

(e)Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

2.7.3Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(a)Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Not later than 11:00 a.m.  (Eastern Time) on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Advance to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1 for the principal amount of the Loan, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7.3(a) may be given by telephone

60

if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(b)Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.7.3(a) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m.  (Eastern Time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7.3(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.

(c)With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Loan Advance because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.3(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.7.

(d)Until each Lender funds its Commitment Percentage of any Loan Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(e)Each Lender’s obligation to make Loan Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.7.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loan Advances pursuant to this Section 2.7.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(f)If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7.3 by the time specified in

61

Section 2.7.3(b), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.7.4Repayment of Participations.

(a)At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.7.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(b)If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.7.3(a) is required to be returned under any of the provisions of this Agreement (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.7.5Obligations Absolute

.  The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(a)Any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(b)The existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions

62

contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(c)Any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(d)Any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(e)Any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will, immediately after discovery thereof, notify the L/C Issuer.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

2.7.6Role of L/C Issuer

.  Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document.  The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.7.5; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the

63

contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a 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.

2.7.7Cash Collateral

.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (without duplication for Cash Collateral delivered and held as required under Section 2.7.1(b)(ii) above).  The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at KeyBank.

2.7.8Applicability of ISP

.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

2.7.9Letter of Credit Fees

.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage an annual Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances times the maximum stated amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided that any Letter of Credit Fee otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral or entered in to other arrangements satisfactory to L/C Issuer pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.9.1(d), with the balance of such fee (other than the fees attributable to L/C Obligations for which Borrower has provided Cash Collateral), if any, payable to L/C Issuer for its own account.  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7.13.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December,

64

commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.  The first and last payments of such Letter of Credit fee are to be prorated based upon the partial calendar quarters to which they apply.  If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Advances separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

2.7.10Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer

.  The Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, equal to the greater of (i) one eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum, computed on the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit or (ii) $500.  Such fronting fee shall be due and payable at such time as the Letter of Credit is issued.  For purposes of computing the maximum stated amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.7.13.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

2.7.11Conflict with Issuer Documents

.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

2.7.12Letters of Credit Issued for Borrower Subsidiaries

.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Borrower Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Borrower Subsidiaries.

2.7.13Amount

.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

2.8Taxes.

2.8.1Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

65

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, each Guaranty) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.8.5 below.

(b)If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 2.8.5 below (unless the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in which case Borrower shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Borrower to be required based on the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 2.8.5 below), (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code (unless the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in which case Borrower shall timely pay the full amount withheld and deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code), and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

2.8.2Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower

66

reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (b) of this subsection.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting the provisions of Sections 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8.5.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (b).  The agreements in this clause (b) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

2.8.4Evidence of Payments

.  Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.8, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

2.8.5Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(a)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed

67

and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender's status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(i)Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(ii)Each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)Executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

68

Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(E)Executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(c)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.8.5(c), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(d)Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

2.8.6Treatment of Certain Refunds

.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments

69

made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

2.9Defaulting Lenders.

2.9.1Adjustments

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws:

(a)Waivers and Amendments

.  That 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 “Required Lenders” and in Section 13.4.1.

(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 12.2 shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably 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, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, 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; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in an interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of

70

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 eighth, 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 or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied first to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.9.1(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.9.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)Certain Fees.

(i)No Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any Line Fee pursuant to Section 2.4.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) pursuant to Section 2.4.2 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and the Borrower shall (A) except to the extent Borrower has provided Cash Collateral with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Fronting Exposure, be required to pay to the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender, and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.7.9.  

(ii)Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof.  

(d)Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 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 Total Outstandings of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder

71

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, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected due to any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Total Outstandings after giving effect to such reallocation exceeding such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment (other than with respect to the Swing Line Lender), the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the provisions hereof.

2.9.2Defaulting Lender Cure

.  If Borrower, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, 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, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.9.1(d)), whereupon that 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 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.

3.BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES.

6.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make each Loan Advance, to issue each Letter of Credit and to otherwise complete all of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

6.1Formation

.  Each Loan Party has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of the State of its formation.  Each Loan Party has the requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority, as applicable, to own its assets and conduct its businesses as currently conducted and owned, and to enter into and perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party.  Each Loan Party is in good standing and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where the ownership of its assets and/or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Loan Party is an EEA Financial Institution.

6.2Proceedings; Enforceability

.  Each Loan Party has taken all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company action, as applicable, to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.  Each Loan Document which is required to be executed and delivered on or prior to the date on which this representation and warranty is being made has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

6.3Conflicts

.  Neither the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Loan Parties nor compliance by any Loan Party with the terms and provisions thereof, (a) will contravene any provision of any Law or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower, the Property or any Loan Party, (b) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition (or the obligation to create or

79

impose) of any Lien upon any of the property or assets of any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement or any other agreement, contract or instrument to which any Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, or (c) will violate any provision of any Formation Document of any Loan Party.

6.4Ownership and Taxpayer Identification Numbers

.  All of the partners, owners, stockholders, and members, respectively and as may be applicable, of each Loan Party (other than the Borrower and CRT) are listed in Schedule 6.4 (as such may be updated from time to time).  Set forth on Schedule 6.4 (as such may be updated from time to time) is the exact correct and legal name, tax identification number(s) and state of incorporation or organization of the Borrower, CRT and each other Loan Party and whether such Loan Party owns a Borrowing Base Property.  Each Borrowing Base Property Owner is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower.  The information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects (on and as of the date delivered).

6.5Litigation

.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency or regulatory authority by any entity (private or governmental) pending or, to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened with respect to the Loan, the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents, any Loan Party, or any Borrower Subsidiary, which are not fully covered (subject to deductibles) by an insurance policy issued by a reputable and financially viable insurance company, or, to the extent not so covered, could (a) materially adversely affect a Borrowing Base Property or (b) have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6Information

.  All factual information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and/or any of the Lenders (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and/or any of the Lenders will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided. There is no material fact presently known to the Borrower which has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent, and thereupon disclosed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.7Taxes

.  All Loan Parties have made all required tax filings and are not delinquent in the payment of any federal, state and local taxes, assessments, impositions or other governmental charges applicable to them and/or their respective assets, except to the extent same are being contested in a manner which complies with the requirements of Section 8.2.2.

6.8Financial Information

12.3Right to Freeze

.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4, 2.7.9, 2.7.10 and 15.9) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements

113

and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 15.9.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

13.1.12Guaranty Matters

.  The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary or an owner of a Borrowing Base Property or an indirect owner of a Borrowing Base Property Owner as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will promptly confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13.1.12.

13.2Respecting Loans and Payments.

13.2.1Adjustments

.  If, after the Administrative Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by the Administrative Agent in respect of the Loan and other Obligations, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by the Administrative Agent, whether pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at the Administrative Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to the Administrative Agent, together with such  Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by the Administrative Agent with respect to such payment or application.

13.2.2Setoff

.  If any Lender (including the Administrative Agent), acting in its individual capacity, shall exercise any right of setoff against a deposit balance or other account of the Borrower held by such Lender on account of the obligations of the Borrower under this Loan Agreement, such Lender shall remit to the Administrative Agent all such sums received pursuant to the exercise of such right of setoff, and the Administrative Agent shall apply all such sums for the benefit of all of the Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement.

13.2.3Distribution by the Administrative Agent

.  If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution.  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the

114

Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

13.2.4Removal or Replacement of a Lender

.  If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.6.1 or 2.6.2, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then in addition to, and not in limitation of, the rights and remedies that may be available to the Borrower at law or in equity, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.3), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)The Administrative Agent shall be paid the assignment fee specified in Section 13.3.2(d);

(b)Such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.3.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)In the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.8, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)Such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

13.2.5Holders

.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender designated in the Register as the proportionate owner of such interest in the Obligations for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any designated interest in the Obligations shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such interest in the Obligations.

13.2.6Erroneous Payments.

115

(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf)  (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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 from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i)(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

116

(ii)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.2.6(b).

(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf)  (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an electronic platform approved by Administrative Agent as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable

117

Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment; provided that this Section 13.2.6 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 13.2.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

13.3Assignments by Lenders.

13.3.1Successors 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 neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder 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

118

(i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.3.6 (and 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 Section 13.3.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.3.2Assignments by Lenders

.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 13.3.2, participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a)Minimum Amounts.

(i)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the 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

(ii)in any case not described in Section 13.3.2(a)(i), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, 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 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(b)Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

119

(c)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 13.3.2(a)(ii) and, in addition:

(i)the consent of the Borrower shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or an Approved Fund;

(ii)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(iii)the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(d)Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(e)No Assignment to Borrower.  No such assignment shall be made to CRT, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(f)No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(g)No Assignment to Defaulting Lenders.  No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.2.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, 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 2.8, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.3.15, and 15.9 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender; provided that such new Note shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall be

120

otherwise in the form of Exhibit B.  To the extent a Lender has assigned all of its Commitment and Loans, it covenants to return any outstanding Note to the Borrower or to provide a lost note indemnity in lieu thereof.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

13.3.3Register

.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s 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 of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of 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.

13.3.4Participations

.  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 CRT or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s or CRT’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 Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) 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 Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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 any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 13.4.1 that affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 13.3.5, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8, 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.3.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.3.2.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 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

121

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 under any Loan Document 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.

13.3.5Limitations upon Participant Rights

.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.8, 2.3.15, 2.6.1 or 2.6.2 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, provided in no instance shall the Borrower’s Obligations be increased as a result thereof.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.8.5 as though it were a Lender.

13.3.6Certain Pledges

.  Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or foreclosure with respect to any such pledge shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for such Lender as a party hereto.

13.3.7Resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender after Assignment

.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time KeyBank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 13.3.2 above, KeyBank may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of KeyBank as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender.  If KeyBank resigns as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.7.3).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, and (b) the

122

successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to KeyBank to effectively assume the obligations of KeyBank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

126

other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(e)Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower.  All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)As used in this Section 15.23 the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §

136

382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company is evaluating its election on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company provided lease concessions to certain tenants in response to the impact of COVID-19, in the form of rent deferrals.  The Company has made an election to account for such lease concessions consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 if enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions had already existed in the leases.  This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the Company’s rights as lessor, including concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified lease being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original lease.

Substantially all of the Company’s concessions to date provide for a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original lease. These deferrals affect the timing, but not the amount, of the lease payments.  The Company is accounting for these deferrals as if no changes to the lease were made. Under this accounting, the Company increases its receivables as tenant payments accrue and continues to recognize rental income. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $3.5 million, of which $2.4 million relates to deferrals that the Company continued to recognize rental income. In addition, through September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into agreements that waived approximately $2.4 million of rent.

Real Estate [Abstract]

Real Estate

Note 3. Real Estate 

On September 9, 2021, the Company announced that it is exploring, among other alternatives, a potential sale or merger involving the entire Company, and alternatively the potential sale of its core grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio and its mixed-use redevelopment projects. As part of this dual-track strategic alternatives process, the Company has determined that certain of the Company’s operating properties would be sold significantly prior to the end of their previously estimated hold periods. Therefore, the Company recorded $82.7 million in impairment charges.

Investment in unconsolidated joint venture

On May 5, 2021, the Company formed a joint venture with Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and Asland Capital Partners (the “Joint Venture”) for the construction of an approximately 258,000 square foot six-story commercial building in Washington, D.C. consisting of approximately 240,000 square feet of office space which is 100% leased to the Washington, D.C., Department of General Services (“DGS”) for its headquarters and approximately 18,000 square feet of street-level retail. The term of the lease with DGS is for 20 years and 10 months, to commence upon substantial completion and delivery to the DGS. This building is planned as the first phase of Northeast Heights, a redevelopment of two existing shopping centers, East River Park and Senator Square, into a mixed-use residential, office and retail property. Further, the Joint Venture has secured construction financing from JP Morgan not to exceed $105 million. The construction loan initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and has an initial term of three years with two, one-year extension options subject to customary conditions. The Company has a 10% interest in the joint venture and is a co-general partner along with Asland Capital Partners. The Company has contributed approximately $3.2 million of capital to the Joint Venture as of September 30, 2021. The Company has sold approximately $8.0 million of development costs to the Joint Venture as of September 30, 2021.

The Joint Venture currently estimates that the space will be delivered during the end of the fourth quarter 2022. Upon completion of the building, DGS will be obligated to pay initial annual net rent of approximately $5.4 million per year, subject to a 2.5% annual escalator on each anniversary of rent commencement, plus certain operating costs, property taxes and amortization of tenant improvements together totaling approximately an additional $8.1 million per year, for an aggregate total annual rent of

approximately $13.5 million. The lease provides for a free rent period of 10 months immediately following rent commencement. The Lease also provides DGS with a tenant credit of approximately $6.8 million to be applied, at DGS’s election, against either annual rent or any other tenant payment obligations including tenant improvement costs, in excess of the tenant improvement allowance. Pursuant to the lease, the Joint Venture will contribute up to $155 per rentable square foot toward the cost of tenant improvements, to be amortized over 240 months. In addition, the lease provides that the Joint Venture will contribute $9.38 per rentable square foot in additional tenant improvement allowance between the 10th and 12th lease years, upon DGS’s timely election. The obligations of DGS under the Lease are subject to annual budget appropriation.

The following table shows the property dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

							Gain on Sale/

The gain on sales and the reversal of impairments are included in operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Real Estate Held for Sale

As of September 30, 2021, Carll’s Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey, has been classified as “real estate held for sale” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.      

The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties “held for sale” based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow or income capitalization analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4 - “Fair Value Measurements”), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company’s determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to “held for sale”, the Company performed recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments’ use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties’ meeting the “held for sale” criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair value less costs to sell, if applicable.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s investments and liabilities related to share-based compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loan was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with a similar term and maturity.  As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans payable, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, was $162.5 million and $47.0 million, respectively; the carrying value of such loan was $157.0 million and $45.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the aggregate fair values of

the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans approximated their carrying values. In addition, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage note receivable and finance lease obligation, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The valuations of the assets and liabilities for the Company’s interest rate swaps, which are measured on a recurring basis, were determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions. Such valuations were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”.

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate held for use and real estate held for sale, which, if applicable, are measured on a nonrecurring basis, and have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, income capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and income capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period. These cash flows were composed of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach is utilized for certain land values and includes comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.

The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

	September 30, 2021

(a) Included in other assets and deferred charges, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(b) Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the dual-track strategic alternatives process being pursued by the Company, it was determined that certain of the Company’s operating properties would be sold significantly prior to the end of their previously estimated hold periods. As of September 30, 2021, the Company tested the recoverability of real estate held for use and, as a result of the carrying amount of the assets not being deemed recoverable and exceeding their fair value as measured on an asset by asset basis, recorded $82.3 million in

impairment charges. These charges are included in Impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations. Such assets have an aggregate fair value of $247.4 million as of September 30, 2021. The fair value of the assets was determined to be Level 3 under the hierarchy and was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using a direct capitalization approach, consisting of capitalization rates ranging from 6.0% to 8.8%, with a weighted average of 6.9%.

As of September 30, 2021, real estate held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet consisted of one retail property, totaling $1.9 million, which was determined to be Level 3 assets under the hierarchy, and was measured at fair value less cost to sell on a nonrecurring basis using a direct capitalization approach, consisting of a capitalization rate of 9.1%. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an impairment of $0.4 million, which is included in Impairment charges in the consolidated statement of operations.

(a) The mortgages for these properties are cross-collateralized.

(b) The revolving credit facility is subject to two one-year extensions at the Company’s option.

(c) The interest rates on these term loans consist of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt. 

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On August 30, 2021, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and $50 million term loan. After the amendment, the new unsecured revolving credit facility is $185 million with an expiration in August 2024. The new unsecured revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option for two additional one-year periods, subject to customary conditions. Interest on the borrowings under the new unsecured revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (150 bps at September 30, 2021), based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company extended its $50 million term loan four years with an expiration in August 2026.

On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its then existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company’s financial ratios and borrowing base are all computed using the trailing four quarters as opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt.

The Company’s unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt and exercise of other lender remedies. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income for the trailing twelve months, as defined in the agreements. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $66.0 million outstanding and $117.9 million available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and was in compliance with all financial covenants.    

Mortgage Loans Payable

On May 5, 2021, the Company closed a non-recourse mortgage for $114.0 million. The mortgage matures June 1, 2031, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 3.49% and requires payment of interest only for the first five years followed by payments of principal and interest based on thirty-year amortization for the remainder of the term. The loan is secured by five shopping centers consisting of Lawndale Plaza, The Shops at Suffolk Downs, Christina Crossing, Trexlertown Plaza, and The Point.  These properties had no pre-existing debt and the proceeds from this new loan were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of the interest rate swaps applicable to the unsecured term loans discussed above are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), limited partners’ interest, or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $6.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified as a decrease to earnings within the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company is the lessee under several ground leases and its executive office lease agreement. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 29.4 years and the weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company’s lease liability is approximately 5.7%. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.   

During the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 began spreading globally, with the outbreak being classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The Company currently faces significant risks and uncertainties related to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. Certain tenants have announced temporary closures of their stores and have requested rent deferrals or forgiveness during this pandemic. COVID-19 could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow which could result in (1) the Company’s tenants being unable to fully meet their obligations and to seek modification of their obligations, resulting in increases in uncollectible rents and a reduction in rental income, (2) difficulties in the Company’s future compliance with financial covenants in regards to its unsecured credit facilities, and (3) the recognition of impairments charges of the Company’s real estate.

As a result of COVID-19, the Company has received numerous rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. During the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the Company collected 97% of contractual base rents and monthly tenant reimbursements, respectively. Through September 30, 2021, the Company deferred approximately $3.5 million and waived approximately $2.4 million of rental income, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the weighted average payback period for the remaining deferred rent receivable is approximately 10 months, beginning at various times from July 2020 through June 2021.

Total rents	$	30,395,000	$	30,890,000		$	95,611,000	$	94,466,000

The Company reviews the collectability of charges under its tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in

which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. During 2021 and 2020, the Company’s assessment has specifically included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which represents a material risk to collectability. In the event that collectability with respect to any tenant changes the Company recognizes an adjustment to rental income. The Company’s review of collectability of charges under its operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue. During 2021 and 2020, the Company identified various tenants where collection was no longer considered probable, and therefore, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, $0.3 million and $1.3 million of billed charges, consisting of rent and tenant reimbursements, were unpaid. Based on the Company’s determination to record revenue on a cash basis for these tenants, these amounts were not recorded as revenue.

On June 15, 2018, the Company’s President and CEO was granted a market performance-based equity award of 227,272 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 227,272 dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) of the Company. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share if certain market performance criteria are achieved. Each DER accrues and will be deemed to be reinvested into the Company’s common stock for which payment will only be made for the portion of the market performance-based equity award that are earned and vest. During the three years ending June 15, 2021 (the “Interim Performance Period”), a maximum of 113,636 shares were earned. Any portion of the market performance-based equity award that was not earned as of the end of the Interim Performance Period will be carried forward for calculation for the five years ending June 15, 2023 (the “Full Performance Period”). The percentage of the market performance-based equity award to be earned will be determined based on the Company’s annual return on an investment in the Company’s common stock (“TSR”) over the Interim Performance Period and/or over the Full Performance Period as follows: if average annual TSR (1) is below 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 0%, (2) equals 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 33.3%, (3) equals 6.5%, the percentage of grant earned would be 66.7%, and (4) equals 10% or above, the percentage of grant earned would be 100%. Linear interpolation shall be applied to determine the percentage of the market performance-based equity award that is earned where the average annual TSR over the performance period falls between the percentages set forth above.  Based on market performance for the Interim Performance Period, it was determined the Company’s President and CEO earned 113,636 shares. Accordingly, on July 20, 2021, the Company issued 113,636 common shares to the CEO and paid him $0.3 million for the related DERs.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities). Unvested restricted shares that are participating securities are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 0.4 million and 0.5 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding that were participating securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Numerator
Net (loss) income	$	(80,883,000	)	$	1,404,000		$	(28,166,000	)	$	(6,703,000	)
Preferred stock dividends		(2,688,000	)		(2,688,000	)		(8,064,000	)		(8,064,000	)
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests		367,000			(137,000	)		(183,000	)		(373,000	)
Net earnings allocated to unvested shares		(29,000	)		(28,000	)		(92,000	)		(210,000	)
Net loss attributable to vested common shares	$	(83,233,000	)	$	(1,449,000	)	$	(36,505,000	)	$	(15,350,000	)
Denominator
Weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding, basic and diluted		13,252,000			13,110,000			13,191,000			13,101,000
Net loss per common share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted	$	(6.28	)	$	(0.11	)	$	(2.77	)	$	(1.17	)

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, no RSUs would have been issuable under the Company’s President and CEO market performance-based equity award had the measurement period ended on September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and therefore this market performance-based equity award had no impact in the calculation of diluted EPS. Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no dilutive effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding were 81,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company is evaluating its election on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company provided lease concessions to certain tenants in response to the impact of COVID-19, in the form of rent deferrals.  The Company has made an election to account for such lease concessions consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 if enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions had already existed in the leases.  This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the Company’s rights as lessor, including concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified lease being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original lease.

Substantially all of the Company’s concessions to date provide for a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original lease. These deferrals affect the timing, but not the amount, of the lease payments.  The Company is accounting for these deferrals as if no changes to the lease were made. Under this accounting, the Company increases its receivables as tenant payments accrue and continues to recognize rental income. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $3.5 million, of which $2.4 million relates to deferrals that the Company continued to recognize rental income. In addition, through September 30, 2021, the Company has entered into agreements that waived approximately $2.4 million of rent.
