that is at least 90% owned directly or indirectly by Borrower provided no consent from a minority owner is required in order for the Borrower to cause a sale or refinancing of such Unencumbered Property, and so long as any such Subsidiary (whether or not wholly-owned) is a Guarantor (to the extent required by the Section entitled “Release of Guarantors”); (iii) is not subject to any Liens or encumbrances other than clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (f), (j), (k), and (n) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances, or a Lien securing bonds, notes or other obligations issued pursuant to a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction; (iv) is not subject to any agreement (including (a) any agreement governing Indebtedness incurred in order to finance or refinance the acquisition of such Property, and (b) if applicable, the organizational documents of Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary Owner) which prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary Owner, as the case may be, to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Unencumbered Property (or the leasehold estate therein created by a Financeable Ground Lease or a Tax Incentive Lease Agreement, as applicable), or Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Owner, except for covenants that are not materially more restrictive than the covenants contained in this Agreement, in favor of holders of unsecured Indebtedness of the Borrower and such Subsidiary Owner not prohibited hereunder; (v) is not subject to any agreement (including (a) any agreement governing Indebtedness incurred in order to finance or refinance the acquisition of such Property, and (b) if applicable, the organizational documents of Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary Owner) which entitles any Person to the benefit of any Lien on such Property (other than the Lien securing repayment of bonds, notes or other obligations issued pursuant to, or fees and expenses of the Tax Incentive Issuer or trustee incurred in connection with, a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction, or the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary Owner or Exchange Fee Titleholder, or would entitle any Person to the benefit of any Lien on such Property or Equity Interests upon the occurrence of any contingency (including, without limitation, pursuant to an “equal and ratable” clause) other than any agreement entered into in connection with the financing of such Property and the pledge of such Property as security for any financing pending the closing of such financing, provided that such Property shall cease to be an Unencumbered Property upon the closing of such financing; (vi) is not subject to any agreement (including (a) any agreement governing Indebtedness incurred in order to finance or refinance the acquisition of such Property, and (b) if applicable, the organizational documents of Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary Owner) which prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Owner or Exchange Fee Titleholder, as the case may be, to make pro rata Restricted Payments to Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary Owner of income arising out of such Property or prevents such Subsidiary Owner from transferring such Property (other than (x) any restriction with respect to a Property imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of such Property pending the closing of such sale or disposition or in connection with a 1031 exchange or any restriction in connection with a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction that complies with the condition set forth in clause (viii) of the criteria for such transactions, and (y) any restriction with respect to a Subsidiary Owner that owns such Property imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Equity Interests or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor pending the closing of such sale or disposition); and (vii) is not the subject of any issues which would materially and adversely impact the operation of such Property. No Property owned by a Subsidiary Owner shall be deemed to be an Unencumbered Property unless (a) both such Property and all Equity Interests of the Subsidiary Owner held directly or indirectly by the Borrower are not subject to any Lien, except as otherwise expressly permitted herein, including, without limitation, in connection with a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction, (b) each intervening entity between the entity immediately below DCTRT Real Estate Holdco LLC and such Subsidiary Owner does not have any Indebtedness for borrowed money or, if such entity has any Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is unsecured, and (c) neither such Subsidiary Owner nor any intervening entity between the entity immediately below DCTRT Real Estate Holdco LLC and such Subsidiary Owner is subject to insolvency proceedings, unable to pay debts or subject to any writ or warrant of attachment. A Property that is subject to an option to purchase shall not be disqualified by the requirement in clause (vi) from being an Unencumbered Property so long as the Property can be transferred subject to the rights of the optionee provided that if the option to purchase is for a fixed price as distinguished from a market price, the Unencumbered Asset Value for such Property shall be equal to the lesser of (x) the amount determined in accordance with the definition of Unencumbered Asset Value, or (y) the option price for such Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Exchange Properties that are part of the Exchange Program may be included as Unencumbered Properties during the period of time that the Exchange Beneficial Interests or tenant in common interests are being marketed, such marketing period not to exceed 24 months, if all of the requirements set forth in this definition for an Unencumbered Property are met other than (A) the ownership percentage requirement (including without limitation the requirement set forth in clause (ii) of this definition), (B) the requirement that they not be Exchange Properties, (C) any requirement that the owner of such Property become a Subsidiary Guarantor (so long as the applicable Exchange Depositor and any applicable Subsidiary owning tenant in common interests that have not been sold is a Subsidiary Guarantor), (D) any requirement that the Unencumbered Property not be subject to any agreement which prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary Owner, as the case may be, to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Unencumbered Property; provided that (for the avoidance of doubt), with respect to Exchange Properties, the Equity Interests of the Subsidiary Owner shall not be subject to any agreement that prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Owner, as the case may be, to create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on such Equity Interests, or (E) any requirement set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) immediately above, except that for purposes of calculating unencumbered pool financial covenants, only the pro rata share of value and income (corresponding to the pro rata share of the Exchange Beneficial Interests in the Exchange Property Owner or the tenant in common interests that are still owned by the Consolidated Group) shall be counted. Nothing herein shall prohibit an Unencumbered Property hereunder from constituting an unencumbered asset in connection with any other Indebtedness; provided that such Indebtedness is otherwise not prohibited pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

3.    The following new Section 10.23 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement:

10.23    Special Provisions regarding Permitted Tax Incentive Transactions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lien created in connection with a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction solely to secure repayment of a bond, note or other obligation owned by Borrower or a Subsidiary (or any affiliate thereof) shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) nothing in the definition of Property shall preclude a Tax Incentive Property under a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction from constituting Property; (ii) the definition of Subsidiary Owner shall include any Subsidiary that leases Tax Incentive Property pursuant to a Tax Incentive Lease Agreement under a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction; (iii) the definition of Guarantee Obligation shall exclude any obligation incurred by any Person pursuant to a Tax Incentive Guaranty so long as Borrower or a Subsidiary is the holder of the bond, note or other obligation that is guaranteed; (iv) no Tax Incentive Lease Agreement entered into in connection with a Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction shall constitute (or be deemed to constitute) Indebtedness or a Sale-Leaseback Master Lease; (v) the provisions of Section 6.12 and Section 6.13 with respect to any Subsidiary that owns any Unencumbered Property shall also apply to any Subsidiary that leases an Unencumbered Property that is a Tax Incentive Property pursuant to a Tax Incentive Lease Agreement, such that such Subsidiaries shall become Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (vi) the investment of any Subsidiary in bonds issued in connection with any Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction shall not constitute an Investment.

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) any applicable amounts pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) of the definition of Net Operating Income related to a third-party lease affecting any Tax Incentive Property shall be included in the calculation of Net Operating Income for such Tax Incentive Property, but interest income of any Subsidiary from bonds issued in connection with any Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction and related rent expense under any Tax Incentive Lease Agreement with respect to the applicable Tax Incentive Property shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Net Operating Income for such Tax Incentive Property; (b) interest payable by any Subsidiary under Tax Incentive Indebtedness in connection with any Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction (to the extent such Subsidiary is also the owner or holder of the bonds issued in connection with such Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction) shall be excluded from the calculation of Recurring Interest Expense; (c) the calculation of Total Asset Value shall include the Property Value, Property Investment Value, unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents and any other amounts which would otherwise be included in the calculation of Total Asset Value with respect to any other Property, of any Tax Incentive Property, but the

investment of any Subsidiary in bonds issued in connection with any Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction shall be excluded from any calculation of Total Asset Value; (d) the term Indebtedness shall not include any Tax Incentive Indebtedness (including pursuant to an Tax Incentive Guaranty) under any Permitted Tax Incentive Transaction; and (e) no Tax Incentive Indebtedness (including pursuant to a Tax Incentive Lease Agreement or a Tax Incentive Guaranty) shall constitute a “liability” for purposes of determining Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (but other liabilities that are current and payable to a party other than Borrower or a Subsidiary in connection with the Tax Incentive Property such as indemnification obligations shall constitute a “liability”).

4.    Sections 7.09(c), (d) and (g) are hereby amended by deleting the phrase “commencing with the fiscal quarter immediately following a Material Acquisition” and inserting in lieu thereof the phrase “commencing with the fiscal quarter during which a Material Acquisition occurs”.

5.    The following new Section 10.24 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement:

10.24 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(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 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

“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. § 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).

6.    The Borrower hereby represents and warrants the following:

a)    no Default exists under the Loan Documents;

b)    the Loan Documents are in full force and effect and Borrower has no defenses or offsets to, or claims or counterclaims relating to, its obligations under the Loan Documents;

c)    there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower as shown in its September 30, 2019 financial statements;

d)    the Borrower has full power and authority to execute this Amendment and no consents are required for such execution other than any consents which have already been obtained; and

e)    all representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty was true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this clause (e), 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.

7.    The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be conditioned on the following:

c)    Unless waived by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have paid all reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent (directly to such counsel if requested by the Administrative Agent) including such additional amounts of such fees, charges and disbursements as shall constitute its reasonable estimate of such fees, charges and disbursements incurred or to be incurred by it through the closing proceedings (provided that such estimate shall not thereafter preclude a final settling of accounts between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

8.    Except as specifically modified hereby, the Credit Agreement is and remains unmodified and in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed. All references in the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement” henceforth shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

9.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.

10.    This Amendment shall become effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Required Lenders.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.
