“Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio” means (i) Unencumbered Property NOI for all Unencumbered Properties plus interest income from unencumbered First Mortgage Investments, unencumbered Other Debt Investments and unencumbered Exchange Debt Investments, divided by (ii) Unsecured Interest Expense, in each case for the most recent quarter annualized.

1.9Section 6.12. Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

6.12. Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that owns a Property that is included as an Unencumbered Property and so designated by the Company for purposes of determining the Company’s compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement on the Closing Date, if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (and if such Subsidiary is not a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company, shall cause the most immediate parent(s) of such Subsidiary that are Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company (if any) (each parent an “Intermediate Subsidiary Owner Guarantor”)), to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent the Subsidiary Guaranty as required under Article IV above. For any Property added to the pool of Unencumbered Properties after the date hereof (unless owned by a Loan Party or an Exchange Fee Titleholder), the Company shall cause the Subsidiary owning such Unencumbered Property, if it is a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company (and if such Subsidiary is not a Domestic Subsidiary of the Company, shall cause the Intermediate Subsidiary Owner Guarantor(s) of such Subsidiary (if any)), to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date that such Property is included as an Unencumbered Property for purposes of determining Company’s compliance with the financial covenants contained in this Agreement, a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty. If the Company designates a Property that is owned by an Exchange Fee Titleholder to be included as an Unencumbered Property, then the Subsidiary of the Company that is master leasing such Property shall execute a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty and shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor during the period of time that the exchange is pending. If the Company designates a Property that is owned by an Exchange Property Owner to be included as an Unencumbered Property during the period of time that the Exchange Beneficial Interests or tenant in common interests are being marketed, then the Exchange Depositor or the Subsidiary owning tenant in common interests that have not been sold, as the case may be, shall execute a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty and shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor during the period of time (not to exceed 24 months) during which the sale of Exchange Beneficial Interests or tenant in common interests is pending, but only for so long as such Property remains an Unencumbered Property. For Unencumbered Properties owned by an Exchange Fee Titleholder, upon completion or termination of the reverse exchange, if the Company desires the applicable Property to remain an Unencumbered Property, the Company, or a Subsidiary of the Company shall acquire all of the ownership interests of the Exchange Fee Titleholder or title to such Unencumbered Property and at such time the entity that was previously the Exchange Fee Titleholder, but has become a Subsidiary of the Company, or if fee title is acquired, the Subsidiary acquiring fee title will execute a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty and become a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the entity that had previously been master leasing such Property shall be automatically released from the Subsidiary Guaranty. Each joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty provided pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, be accompanied by supporting organizational and authority documents and opinions similar to those provided with respect to the Company and the initial Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 4.01.

1.10Section 7.02(f). Clause (f) of Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(f)Investments in Public REIT Securities and Mortgaged Backed Securities up to 10% of Total Asset Value.

1.11Errant Section References. The references in Sections 2.18 and 6.13 of the Credit Agreement to “Sections 7.09(f), (g) and (h)” are hereby amended to instead refer to “Sections 7.09(e), (f) and (g)”.

SECTION 2. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall be effective as of the first date on which all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied (such date being referred to herein as the “Second Amendment Effective Date”):

2.1Administrative Agent’s receipt of counterparts of this Amendment duly executed and delivered by each of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and Lenders constituting Required Lenders, which shall be originals or pdf copies or other electronic format (followed promptly by originals) unless otherwise specified, in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof.

2.2On the Second Amendment Effective Date, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of the representations and warranties in Section 5.20 of the Credit Agreement or any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality, in all respects), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date or period, in which case they were true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of Sections 5.14(b) and 5.20 of the Credit Agreement or any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such earlier date or for the respective period, as applicable, and except that for purposes of this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and

(b) of Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, and (b) no Default exists or would result from the consummation of this Amendment.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of Loan Parties. In order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery hereof) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(e)no Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment or the Amended Credit Agreement; and

(f)neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the performance of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement will (i) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of (or any requirement to create) any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (x) any Contractual Obligation to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or affecting any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or the properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective property is subject, the conflict or breach of which under the foregoing clauses (x) and/or (y) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) violate any Law.
