(1)it is a qualified investor as defined under the Prospectus Directive;

(2)in the case of any Notes acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the Notes acquired by it in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, as that term is defined in the Prospectus Directive, or in the circumstances in which

17


 

the prior consent of the Initial Purchaser has been given to the offer or resale or (ii) where Notes have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of such Notes to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.

(e)The Initial Purchaser represents and warrants to the Issuer that it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom, and it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and it will only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Notes, in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuer

(f)The Initial Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees with respect to offers and sales outside the United States that (i) it understands that no action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Initial Purchaser or the Issuer that would permit a public offering of the Notes, or possession or distribution of the Offering Memorandum or any other offering or public material relating to the Notes in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required; and (ii) the Initial Purchaser will comply with all applicable securities laws and regulations in each jurisdiction in which it acquires, offers, sells or delivers Notes or has in its possession or distributes the Offering Memorandum or any such other material.

(g)The Initial Purchaser has not, and prior to the later to occur of (A) the Closing Date and (B) completion of the initial distribution of the Notes by the Initial Purchaser, will not, use, authorize use of, refer to or distribute any material in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes other than (i) the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, and the Marketing Materials, (ii) any written communication that does not contain “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) that was not included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Marketing Materials, (iii) any written communication prepared by the Initial Purchaser and approved by the Issuer in writing or (iv) any written communication (including Bloomberg announcements) relating to or that contains the terms of the Notes and/or other information that was included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or the Marketing Materials.

damages or liabilities in this clause (x) are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in (i) the Purchaser Information (as defined below) or (ii) the information set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum under the heading “Servicing and the Servicer – The Servicer” (the “Servicer Information”) or (y) which arise from, or in relation to, the preparation and recording of any mortgages or other security instruments in connection with the offering and issuance of the Notes except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in this clause (y) are caused by the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or illegal acts of any Indemnified Party or (z) which arise from a breach of the representations and warranties of the Issuer or the Guarantor in Section 1(x) or (y).  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be liable hereunder to any Indemnified Party in respect of any expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities that are finally and non‑appealably judicially determined to have resulted primarily and directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party.

(b)The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuer and the Guarantor, its officers, authorized representatives and directors, each person, if any, who controls such person within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or is under direct or indirect common control with, or is directly or indirectly controlled by, the Issuer or the Guarantor, and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of each such person and the Issuer and the Guarantor to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuer and the Guarantor to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to clause (a) above, but only with reference to the following information furnished to the Issuer and the Guarantor by the Initial Purchaser for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum: (i) the second sentence of the last paragraph of the cover page of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, (ii) the first and last sentences of the second paragraph under “Offering of Notes” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, (iii) the second sentence of the sixth paragraph under “Offering of Notes” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum and (iv) the seventh paragraph under “Offering of Notes” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum (clauses (i) through (iv) collectively, the “Purchaser Information”).

(c)In the event any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of paragraph (a) or (b) above, (i) such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing of the commencement thereof (provided, that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (b)  above except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been prejudiced by the omission so to notify and shall not affect any obligation or liability the indemnifying party has to the indemnified party other than under paragraph (a) or (b) above) and (ii) the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel and payment of reasonable legal fees and expenses thereto or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have been advised that there exists an actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with the representation of both parties by the same counsel (in which case the

19


 

indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party); provided that such indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations which do not give rise to any actual or potential conflict among the indemnified party, be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction at any time for all indemnified parties and such counsel shall to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities cooperate with the indemnifying party and any counsel designated by the indemnifying party.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Initial Purchaser in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above and by the Issuer in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above.  In the event the indemnifying party fails to reimburse the indemnified party within 45 days of receipt of any invoice submitted by the indemnified party, the invoiced amount shall be immediately due and payable and the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party such fees together with interest on the outstanding invoiced amount(s) at the then-prevailing prime rate (such rate to be reset daily) which shall accrue from the 46th day following receipt of such invoice.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final, non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to promptly indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or final judgment.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph (c), the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9 is unavailable to any indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantor, on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantor, on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the statements, actions or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantor, on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Notes, shall be

20


 

deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received directly by the Issuer, on the one hand and the total fees, discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser in respect thereof on the other hand bear to the aggregate offering price of the Notes.  The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantor, on the one hand and of the Initial Purchaser on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, (i) in the case of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or the Guarantor, on the one hand or by the Initial Purchaser on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and (ii) in the case of any other action or omission, whether such action or omission was taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or the Guarantor, on the one hand or by the Initial Purchaser on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission.  

(e)The Issuer, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes resold by it in the initial sale of such Notes were offered to investors exceeds the purchase price the Initial Purchaser paid to the Issuer for such Notes plus any other fees paid to the Initial Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated herein which have not been credited to such excess.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  No indemnified party shall be entitled to contribution from an indemnifying party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or illegal acts of any indemnified party.

The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by the Initial Purchaser or under direct or indirect common control with the Initial Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor, authorized representatives, officers or directors or any person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantor or (iii) acceptance of any payment for any of the Notes.  The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity or under any other agreement between the parties. In no event, regardless of the legal theory advanced, shall the Guarantor, the Issuer or the Initial Purchaser be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental or special damages of any nature.

10.Termination.  (a) The Initial Purchaser, in its absolute discretion, may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Issuer, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National

21


 

Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of the Common Stock of Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP shall have been suspended on any exchange, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. federal or New York State authorities, or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any calamity, crisis or emergency, or change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States shall be such) that, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, is material and adverse, and which singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of and payment for the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Memorandum or that, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, would materially and adversely affect the financial markets or the markets for the Notes.

(b)Without limiting the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor under Section 7 hereof, if this Agreement shall be terminated by the Initial Purchaser because of (i) any failure or refusal on the part of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, to comply in any material respect with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, (ii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof or (iii) the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s inability to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement for any reason and in any respect (other than as a result of a default by the Initial Purchaser hereunder), the Issuer and the Guarantor shall be obligated to reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

11.Default of the Initial Purchaser.  Without limiting any other right or remedy which may be available to the Issuer under applicable law, if the Initial Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Notes which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the Issuer may in its discretion arrange for another party or parties to purchase such Notes on the terms contained herein and the Issuer may terminate this Agreement via notice to the Initial Purchaser, except for provisions which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof.

12.Submission to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Immunity, Venue, Consequential Damages.  (a) The Issuer, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York or, if such federal courts do not have subject matter or diversity jurisdiction for a particular proceeding, in the state courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (“Related Proceedings”), the Offering Materials or the Notes.  Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceedings.  Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, whether in connection with any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 12, any claim for indemnification or contribution under Section 9 or otherwise.

(b)Each of the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Initial Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective courts referred above.

22


 

13.Status of the Initial Purchaser with Respect to Notes.  Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) shall prevent the Initial Purchaser from entering into any agency agreements, underwriting agreements or other similar agreements governing the offer and sale of securities with any issuer or issuers of securities or (ii) shall be construed in any way as precluding or restricting other rights of the Initial Purchaser to sell or offer for sale any securities issued by any person, including securities similar to, or competing with, any of the Notes.

14.Survival.  The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements made by or on behalf of the Issuer and the Guarantor and their officers and directors and the Initial Purchaser, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect (in the case of the Issuer and the Guarantor, regardless of any investigation or any statements as to the results thereof made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser or any officer, director, employee or controlling person of the Initial Purchaser) and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes.  The provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10(b) and 17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

15.Notices.  All communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchaser, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered, sent by registered mail, telecopied (with a copy by registered mail) and confirmed to (i) RBC Capital Markets, LLC, 200 Vesey Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10281, Attention: Donald Sivick, with a copy to King & Spalding LLP, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, Attention: Michael Urschel, Esq., and (ii) if sent to the Issuer or the Guarantor, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered, sent by registered mail, telecopied or telegraphed and confirmed to Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP, 2141 Rosecrans Ave #2100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: George Doyle, with copies to Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP, 2141 Rosecrans Ave #2100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: Legal Department and Latham & Watkins LLP, 885 3rd Ave,  New York, New York 10022, Attention: Loren Finegold, Esq.  Any party may change the address at which it is to receive notices to another address in the United States at which business is conducted (and not a post-office box or other similar receptacle), by giving notice of such change of address.  This provision shall not invalidate or impose additional requirements for the delivery or effectiveness of any notice (i) given in accordance with applicable statutes or rules of court, or (ii) by service of process in accordance with applicable law.

16.Miscellaneous.  (a)  If this Agreement is executed by or on behalf of any party hereto by a person acting under a power of attorney given him by such party, such person hereby states that at the time of execution hereof he has no notice of revocation of the power of attorney by which he has executed this Agreement as such attorney.

18.No Fiduciary Duty.  Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that in connection with this offering of the Notes or any other services the Initial Purchaser may be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently made by the Initial Purchaser: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Issuer and the Guarantor and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other, exists; (ii) the Initial Purchaser is not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Issuer and the Guarantor, and such relationship between the Issuer and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Initial Purchaser may have to the Issuer and the Guarantor shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv) the Initial Purchaser and its respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of the Issuer and the Guarantor.  Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor hereby waives any claims that such person may have against the Initial Purchaser with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Notes.

LANDMARK INFRASTRUCTURE LMRK Investor Presentation May 2018

 


 

 

LANDMARK INFRASTRUCTURE LMRK Disclaimer This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of Landmark Infrastructure Partner LP’s (“LMRK” or the “Partnership”) business, future events, financial condition or performance, expectations, competitive environment, availability of resources, regulation, liquidity, results of operations, strategies, plans and objectives. These forward-looking statements also include, without limitation, statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to LMRK’s business, financial and operational results, and future economic performance, as well as statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The words “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” or similar expressions or their negatives, as well as statements in future tense, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Statements regarding the following subjects are forward-looking by their nature: market trends and LMRK’s business strategy, projected operating results, and ability to obtain future financing arrangements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the beliefs, assumptions and expectations of future performance, at the time those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. While LMRK believes it has chosen these beliefs, assumptions and expectations in good faith and that they are reasonable, these beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to LMRK or under LMRK’s control. If a change occurs (such as a change in general economic conditions, competitive conditions in our industry, actions taken by our customers and competitors, our ability to successfully implement our business plan, our ability to successfully make acquisitions, interest rates, customer defaults, or any other factors), LMRK’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements in this presentation. You should carefully consider these risks before you make an investment decision with respect to the Partnership, including our common units representing limited partner interests (“common units”), along with the following factors that could cause actual results to vary from our forward-looking statements: the factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, including those set forth under the section captioned “Risk Factors”; general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of the common units; changes in LMRK’s business strategy; availability, terms and deployment of capital; availability of qualified personnel; changes in LMRK’s industry, interest rates or the general economy; and the degree and nature of LMRK’s competition. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. LMRK assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures is provided in this presentation. We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before unrealized and realized gain or loss on derivatives, gain or loss on sale of real property interests, straight line rent adjustments, amortization of above- and below-market rents, impairments, acquisition-related expenses, unit-based compensation, repayments of investments in receivables and after the capital contribution to fund our general and administrative expense reimbursement. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest paid, current cash income tax paid, preferred distributions, distributions to noncontrolling interest holders and maintenance capital expenditures.

LANDMARK INFRASTRUCTURE Non-GAAP Financial Measures We define EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before unrealized and realized gain or loss on derivatives, gain or loss on sale of real property interests, straight line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market rents, impairments, acquisition-related expenses, unit-based compensation, repayments of investments in receivables and the capital contribution to fund our general and administrative expense reimbursement. We define distributable cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest paid, current cash income tax paid, preferred distributions, distributions to noncontrolling interest holders and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should be compared with our reported net income in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our combined financial statements. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess: .our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded limited partnerships, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, financing methods; .the ability of our business to generate sufficient cash to support our decision to make distributions to our unitholders; .our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and .the viability of acquisitions and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provides information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Each of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow has important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and these measures may vary from those of other companies. You should not consider EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. As a result, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please see the “Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow” table below. LMRK

 


 

 

 

LANDMARK INFRASTRUCTURE Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow 1.Under the omnibus agreement that we entered into with Landmark at the closing of the IPO, we agreed to reimburse Landmark for expenses related to certain general and administrative services that Landmark will provide to us in support of our business, subject to a quarterly cap equal to the greater of $162,500 and 3% of our revenue during the preceding calendar quarter. This cap on expenses will last until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date on which our revenue for the immediately preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters exceeded $80.0 million and (ii) November 19, 2019. The full amount of general and administrative expenses incurred will be reflected in our income statements, and to the extent such general and administrative expenses exceed the cap amount, the amount of such excess will be reflected in our financial statements as a capital contribution from Landmark rather than as a reduction of our general and administrative expenses, except for expenses that would otherwise be allocated to us, which are not included in our general and administrative expenses.
