(a)                                 The following definitions in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their respective entireties to read as follows:

 

EBITDA” means, with respect to a Person for any period and without duplication: net income (loss) of such Person for such period determined on a consolidated basis plus the following (but only to the extent deducted in determining net income (loss) for such period): (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) Interest Expense; (iii) income tax expense; (iv) extraordinary or nonrecurring items, including without limitation, gains and losses from the sale of operating Properties; (v) all non-cash items; and (vi) any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with, in anticipation of or in preparation for, or otherwise related to or arising in connection with, the Equity Offering, the filing of an S-

 


 

11 Registration Statement or an initial public offering (in each case, whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby have been consummated). EBITDA shall be adjusted to remove any impact from straight line rent leveling adjustments required under GAAP and amortization of intangibles required pursuant to FASB ASC 805.  For purposes of clause (iv) of this definition, nonrecurring items shall be deemed to include (w) gains and losses on early extinguishment of Indebtedness, (x) severance charges, (y) restructuring charges and (z) costs of financing activities (such as incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and issuances of equity) and transaction costs of acquisitions and other Investments not permitted to be capitalized pursuant to GAAP, in each case, whether or not consummated; provided that the aggregate amount of adjustments pursuant to clauses (w), (y) and (z) shall not exceed in any period 5.00% of EBITDA for such period (calculated prior to giving effect to such adjustments).

 

Tangible Net Worth” means, with respect to any Person as of a given date, the stockholders’ equity of such Person determined on a consolidated basis, plus accumulated depreciation and amortization, minus (to the extent included when determining stockholders’ equity of such Person): (a) the amount of any write-up in the book value of any assets reflected in any balance sheet resulting from revaluation thereof or any write-up in excess of the cost of such assets acquired, and (b) the aggregate of all amounts appearing on the assets side of any such balance sheet for franchises, licenses, permits, patents, patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, goodwill, treasury stock, experimental or organizational expenses and other like assets which would be classified as intangible assets under GAAP (excluding lease intangibles), all determined as of such date on a consolidated basis. For the avoidance of doubt, non-controlling interests, without regard to whether such interest is classified as temporary or permanent in accordance with GAAP, shall be included in the determination of stockholders’ equity.

 

(b)                                 Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth below:

 

“As soon as available and in any event no later than (a) 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarters of the Parent ending March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and (b) 45 days after the end of each of the first, second and third fiscal quarters of the Parent, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such period and the related unaudited consolidated income statements and statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures as of the end of and for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year, all of which shall be certified by the Responsible Officer of the Borrower, in his or her opinion, to present fairly, in accordance with GAAP and in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such period (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments).”

 

(c)                                  Section 10.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth below:

 

“(b)                           Ratio of EBITDA to Fixed Charges.  The Parent shall not permit the ratio of (i) Adjusted EBITDA of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter most recently ending to (ii) Fixed Charges of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter to be

 

2


 

less than (1) 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2020 and (2) 1.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending thereafter.”

 

(d)                                 Section 10.1(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:

 

“(f)                             Ratio of Unencumbered Adjusted NOI to Unsecured Indebtedness.  The Parent shall not permit the ratio of (i) Unencumbered Adjusted NOI of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ending to (ii) Unsecured Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of such period to be less than (1) 0.085 to 1.00 as of the last day of such period during the period commencing on the Agreement Date through, and including, June 30, 2020, (2) 0.10 to 1.00 as of the last day of such period during the period commencing on July 1, 2020 through, and including, December 31, 2020 and (3) 0.12 to 1.00 as of the last day of such period during any period thereafter; provided that, solely for purposes of clause (i) of this Section 10.1.(f) and solely for calculation as of the last day of each of the fiscal quarter in which an Eligible Property is acquired and the next succeeding three (3) fiscal quarters, Unencumbered Adjusted NOI of any such Eligible Property acquired during such four consecutive fiscal quarter period most recently ending that is actually occupied by tenants pursuant to binding leases during such period (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Development Property or Dark Property) shall be the annualized Unencumbered Adjusted NOI for such Eligible Property as reasonably determined by the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) as of the date of acquisition of such Eligible Property; provided further, that for any testing period on or prior to December 31, 2020, the  Unencumbered Adjusted NOI, to the extent not already annualized pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso to this sentence, shall deemed to be equal to (X) the Unencumbered Adjusted NOI with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter that has just ended multiplied by (Y) four (4).”
