(a)
“Existing Documents” means the Existing Agreement, each “Loan Document”, “Credit Document”, “Financing Agreement”, “Transaction Document” or “Related Document” (or other analogous or similar defined term) and all other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Existing Agreement and the extensions of credit thereunder, each as amended or otherwise modified immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment, including without limitation any note, guarantee, security document, mortgage, or certificate; provided, that no derivative, swap agreement, hedge agreement or ISDA confirmation (or other analogous or similar document) shall constitute an Existing Document for purposes of this Amendment or the provisions contained in this Amendment.
(b)
“Loan Party” means any Borrower, guarantor, grantor, loan party or other person having any other analogous or similar role under the Existing Agreement or any other applicable Existing Document.
2.Incremental Commitments.

Immediately upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Revolving Commitments shall be increased to an aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000 and all references to the Revolving Commitments and to the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Loans in the Existing Documents shall be amended accordingly. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the "Revolving Commitments", "Revolving Exposure", and "Revolving Facility", each as defined in the Credit Agreement, shall include the Incremental Commitment, and each reference to “Revolving Loans” in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to include any Incremental Facility extended under the Incremental Commitment.

2
Loan Note (the “Existing Note”) and shall not be a novation. Any and all references in the Credit Agreement and the Other Loan Documents to the Note(s) and/or Revolving Loan Note(s) of such Existing Modifying Lender shall hereafter refer to both the Incremental Commitment Note and the Existing Note.
(b)
The first sentence of Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended, restated, and replaced in its entirety with the following: “The Borrower may, from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request additional Revolving Commitments (collectively, “Incremental Commitments”), from one or more Lenders (in the sole discretion of such Lenders) or Eligible Assignees who will become Lenders, by an aggregate principal amount of up to Seventy-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00), so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments hereunder does not exceed Two Hundred Million and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000,000.00); provided that at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments and immediately after giving effect thereto and to the use of the proceeds thereof (assuming the full utilization thereof), (A) no Material Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (B) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio shall be less than or equal to sixty percent (60%); provided, further, that each such Person, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in connection with any additional Revolving Commitment, the L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).”

3
(with compliance certified as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the Measurement Period then ended in a Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and at each other date of determination);
provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, a failure to satisfy the requirements of the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) shall not result in a Default or Event of Default, or result in any Real Estate Asset not being included as a Collateral Pool Property, but any Net Operating Income in excess of any such limitation shall be excluded for purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of calculating Collateral Pool Property Value.”
