R E C I T A L S
A.Borrower, Agent and certain other Lenders have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of February 15, 2019 (the “Original Credit Agreement”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of November 12, 2019 (the “First Amendment”), and as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of February 14, 2020 (the “Second Amendment” and together with the Original Credit Agreement and the First Amendment, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
B.Borrower and Lenders wish to amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for a limited waiver of certain financial covenants, (ii) fund an Advance under the Revolving Credit Loan to paydown the existing Term Loan; (iii) extinguish the delayed draw feature of the Term Loan, and (iii) make certain additional amendments and modifications to certain of the terms, covenants and provisions in the Credit Agreement, all as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AGREEMENTS
1.Recitals. The foregoing Recitals to this Amendment are hereby incorporated into and made part of this Amendment.
2.Waivers to Credit Agreement.
a.For the period consisting of two (2) calendar quarters commencing on July 1, 2020 and ending on the earlier of the Early Covenant Compliance Date (as defined below) or December 31, 2020 (the “Waiver Period”), the obligation of Borrower to comply with the Subject Provisions (defined below) shall be waived during such Waiver Period, and any failure of Borrower to comply with the Subject Provisions during the Waiver Period shall not result in a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Early Covenant Compliance Date occurs, compliance with the Subject Provisions shall be next tested with respect to the quarter ending March 31, 2021 and such compliance shall be determined by the financial statements delivered by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7.4(b) of the Credit Agreement. “Subject Provisions” means exclusively (i) the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) the minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth set forth in Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that (a) this waiver is a limited waiver that applies only to compliance with the Subject Provisions during the Waiver Period as set forth herein and except as specifically stated herein is not an agreement by Lenders to forbear from exercising any of their default related rights or waive compliance with (i) the Subject Provisions for any period other than the Waiver Period, or (ii) any other covenant or agreement set forth in the Loan Documents, whether during the Waiver Period or otherwise, (b) Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law with respect to the noncompliance by Borrower with respect to all other covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents and with respect to any noncompliance with the Subject Provisions during any period other than the Waiver Period, and (c) Lenders’ agreement to forbear from exercising default-related rights and remedies regarding the Subject Provisions as described in this Section does not relate to or extend to any actions that Lenders may take necessary to the administration of the Loan and the Loan Documents or the protection, preservations or perfection of Lenders’ interest in any collateral, all as determined by Lenders in their sole discretion. Except as specifically modified herein, all of Lenders’ rights and remedies are cumulative and may be exercised by Lenders at any time in Lenders’ sole discretion. Lenders expect full and complete performance by Borrower of its other obligations under the Loan Documents as and when required, including its financial reporting requirements as modified herein. “Early Covenant Compliance Date” means any date after the Effective Date that



Borrower delivers to Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate satisfactory to Agent and Lenders evidencing compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement for the most recent trailing twelve (12) months, including compliance with the Subject Provisions without any waiver or modification thereto.
b.Except for the Advance contemplated by Section 6(b) of this Amendment, during the Waiver Period, Borrower shall be permitted to repay and reborrow amounts under the Revolving Credit Loans so long as the Obligations outstanding under the Revolving Credit Loans do not exceed $20,000,000.00, with each such Advance conditioned upon Borrower’s satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions to an Advance set forth in the Credit Agreement, except, and only except, for compliance with the Subject Provisions. At any time after the Early Covenant Compliance Date, Borrower shall have the right to repay and reborrow amounts under the Revolving Credit Loans, subject to Borrower’s compliance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. If the Waiver Period ends on December 31, 2020, at any time after the date that Borrower delivers a pro forma Compliance Certificate to Agent satisfactory to Agent and Lenders that demonstrates compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement for the most recent trailing twelve (12) months (a “Pro Forma Compliance Certificate”), Borrower shall have the right to repay and reborrow amounts under the Revolving Credit Loans, subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions to an Advance set forth in the Credit Agreement, except, and only except, that Borrower’s obligation to deliver a Compliance Certificate shall be satisfied by Borrower’s delivery of a Pro Forma Compliance Certificate.
c.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, during the Waiver Period Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not declare or make any distributions or other Restricted Payments, except (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result thereof, Borrower may purchase or redeem Equity Interests in Borrower in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate, as expressly permitted under Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) Borrower may pay the minimum amount necessary for Borrower to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust under the Code and any Subsidiary may declare or pay any dividends to Borrower in accordance with Section 7.16 of the Credit Agreement.
d.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.3, Section 5.4 or Section 5.5 of the Credit Agreement, during the Waiver Period, no Guarantor shall be released from the Guaranty, Pledge Agreement or any Obligations and Borrower shall have no right to add any Eligible Real Estate as a Pool Property, in either case, without the express consent of Agent.
3.Term Loan. From and after the Effective Date:
a.The Credit Agreement is hereby modified by deleting (i) all references to “Term Loan”, (ii) any defined term in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement which makes use of the words “Term Loan” as part of the defined term (such term herein referred to as a “Term Loan Phrase”), and (iii) all corresponding provisions in the Credit Agreement which solely refer and pertain to a “Term Loan” or a Term Loan Phrase. For the avoidance of doubt, any defined term which only refers to “Term Loan” in its definition and is not a Term Loan Phrase shall not be deleted but instead such definition shall be construed without reference to “Term Loan”.
b.The Term Loan Commitment of each Term Lender shall be withdrawn and no Term Lender shall have any further obligation to make a Term Loan to Borrower. Schedule 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with Schedule 1.1 attached hereto and made a part hereof.
4.Amendments to Credit Agreement. From and after the Effective Date:
a.The definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby modified by adding the following as the last sentence thereof:

Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower.

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” means the earlier of (a) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (b) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication).



“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBOR and solely to the extent that LIBOR has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced LIBOR for all purposes hereunder in accordance with this Section 4.5 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced LIBOR for all purposes hereunder pursuant to this Section 4.5.

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.
