Re:
Credit Agreement dated as of July 24, 2017 (as the same has been and may further be amended, supplemented, increased, renewed, extended, restated or otherwise modified from to time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement), among Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Borrower”), KeyBank National Association, as agent (“Agent”), and the lending institutions from time to time party thereto (together with KeyBank, the “Lenders”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to §8.7 of the Credit Agreement (and subject to the terms and conditions and exceptions set forth therein), neither the Borrower, nor the REIT are currently permitted to pay any Distributions to their respective partners, members and/or owners if and to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Distributions paid in any fiscal quarter, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Distributions paid in the same fiscal quarter and the preceding three (3) fiscal quarters, exceeds ninety-five percent (95%) of such Person’s Adjusted FFO for such period, calculated as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for the four quarter period ending on such date of determination (the “Distribution Limit”); provided, that for one (1) fiscal quarter in each calendar year (a “Raised Limit Quarter”), the Distribution Limit may exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of Adjusted FFO but shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of Adjusted FFO. The Raised Limit Quarter for calendar year 2018 occurred in the second (2nd) fiscal quarter of said year.
Borrower has requested that, notwithstanding the terms and conditions of §8.7 of the Credit Agreement and the Raised Limit Quarter having already occurred for calendar year 2018, the Agent and the Majority Lenders consent to increase the Distribution Limit from ninety-five percent (95%) of Adjusted FFO to one hundred percent (100%) of Adjusted FFO solely for the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2018 (the “Limited Consent”). Subject to the execution and delivery of this letter agreement by Borrower and Guarantors, Agent and the Majority Lenders hereby agree to the Limited Consent on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge, represent and agree that none of such Persons has any defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on or before the date hereof with respect to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the administration or funding of the Loans or the Letters of Credit or with respect to any acts or omissions of Agent or any

1




Lender, or any past or present officers, agents or employees of Agent or any Lender pursuant to or relating to the Loan Documents, and each of such Persons does hereby expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action arising on or before the date hereof, if any.
Except as hereinabove set forth, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain unaltered and in full force and effect and the parties hereto do hereby expressly ratify and confirm the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this letter agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute, and there has not otherwise occurred, a novation, cancellation, satisfaction, release, extinguishment, or substitution of indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the other obligations of Borrower and Guarantors under the Loan Documents. The consent set forth herein is strictly limited to the Limited Consent, and no other consent or waiver shall be inferred or implied. By execution hereof, Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge that the Agent and the Lenders have made no agreement, and are in no way obligated, to grant any future extension, waiver, indulgence or consent.
This letter agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors, successors-in-title and assigns as provided in the Credit Agreement. This letter agreement shall, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.
