B. Whereas, capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Note Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require;
C. Whereas, the Company has requested that the Noteholders amend the Original Note Agreement in certain respects;
D. Whereas, the Noteholders party hereto have agreed to the amendment request of the Company, and the Company and such Noteholders now desire to amend the Original Note Agreement in the respects, but only in the respects, hereinafter set forth; and
E. Whereas, all requirements of law have been fully complied with and all other acts and things necessary to make this First Amendment a valid, legal and binding instrument according to its terms for the purposes herein expressed have been done or performed.
Now, therefore, upon the full and complete satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this First Amendment set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Noteholders party hereto do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Amendments.
1.1. Section 7.2(a) of the Original Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(a) Covenant Compliance — setting forth (1) the information from such financial statements that is required in order to establish whether the
Exhibit 10.89
Company was in compliance with the requirements of Section 10.5 and each Additional Covenant during the quarterly or annual period covered by the statements then being furnished (including with respect to each such provision that involves mathematical calculations, the information from such financial statements that is required to perform such calculations) and detailed calculations of the maximum or minimum amount, ratio or percentage, as the case may be, permissible under the terms of such Section or Additional Covenant, and the calculation of the amount, ratio or percentage then in existence and (2) a list of the assets included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value. The calculations required pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be in Dollars and any conversion from Canadian Dollars to Dollars shall be calculated using the same methodology as the conversion from Canadian Dollars to Dollars in Hudson REIT’s public reporting practice with respect thereto in accordance with all appropriate guidance applicable thereto. In the event that Hudson REIT, the Company or any Subsidiary has made an election to measure any financial liability using fair value (which election is being disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 22.2) as to the period covered by any such financial statement, such Senior Financial Officer’s certificate as to such period shall include a reconciliation from GAAP with respect to such election;”
1.2. The definitions of “Property,” “Unencumbered Asset Value” and “Unencumbered NOI” set forth in Schedule A to the Original Note Agreement shall be and are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows, respectively:
“Property” means any parcel of real property owned or leased (in whole or in part) or operated by the Company, Hudson REIT, any Subsidiary or any Unconsolidated Affiliate of Hudson REIT and which is located in a state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia or Canada.
“Unencumbered Asset Value” means without duplication, the sum of the following:
(a) For each Unencumbered Pool Property owned for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters, the quotient of (1) Net Operating Income attributable to such Unencumbered Pool Property (i) if other than a Studio Property, for the most recently ended two fiscal quarters annualized, and (ii) if a Studio Property, for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters, divided by (2) the Capitalization Rate, plus
(b) For each Unencumbered Pool Property acquired within the last four fiscal quarters, the acquisition cost of such Unencumbered Pool Property.
-2-
Exhibit 10.89
Notwithstanding the above, (A) to the extent that the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to Unencumbered Pool Properties subject to Ground Leases exceeds 30% of total Unencumbered Asset Value (provided that the Metro Park Ground Lease shall not be taken into account when calculating such 30% limitation), such excess shall be excluded from Unencumbered Asset Value; (B) to the extent that the aggregate rental revenue of the Unencumbered Pool Properties generated from a single tenant or Affiliated tenants in the aggregate exceeds 25%, in each such case, such excess shall be excluded when determining Net Operating Income for the purposes of calculating Unencumbered Asset Value; and (C) to the extent that the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to Unencumbered Pool Properties located in Canada exceeds 20% of total Unencumbered Asset Value, such excess shall be excluded from Unencumbered Asset Value. In no event shall a Property valued pursuant to clause (a) of this definition above be less than zero.
“Unencumbered NOI” means, for any period the aggregate NOI from the Unencumbered Pool Properties for the most recent two fiscal quarters annualized. To the extent that an Unencumbered Pool Property has been owned for at least one month, but not for a full fiscal quarter, the NOI from that Property for such period of ownership will be annualized. If the Property has not been owned for one full month, NOI shall be based on a pro forma NOI approved by the Required Holders, provided that any pro forma NOI approved by the administrative agents under each Material Credit Facility shall be deemed to be approved by the Required Holders.
1.3 The following new definitions shall be and are hereby added to Schedule A to the Original Note Agreement in proper sequence:
“Canadian Dollars” means lawful currency of Canada.
“Dollars” means lawful currency of the United States of America.
1.4 The definition of “Total Asset Value” set forth in Schedule A to the Original Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by (a) deleting the word “and” at the end of the second clause (f) thereof, (b) deleting the period after the word “Value” in the second clause (g) thereof and replacing it with “; and” and (c) adding the following new clause (h) after such second clause (g):
“(h) Investments in Properties located in Canada, such that the aggregate value in such Investments in Properties located in Canada exceeds 15% of Total Asset Value.”
