EXECUTION VERSION

 

SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of January 6, 2015 by and among SL GREEN REALTY CORP. (the “Parent”), SL GREEN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P. (“SLGOP”) and RECKSON OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P. (“Reckson”; together with the Parent and SLGOP, each individually a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), each of the Lenders party hereto, WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the other parties hereto.

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 16, 2012, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 21, 2014 (as so amended and as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the applicable parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

 

(a)                                 The Credit Agreement is amended by restating the first paragraph of the definition of “Applicable Margin” in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Applicable Margin” means the percentage rate set forth in the table below for the applicable Class of Loans corresponding to the level (each a “Level”) into which Reckson’s Credit Rating (or if Reckson shall cease to have a Credit Rating but one of the other Borrowers shall have a Credit Rating, then such other Borrower (Reckson or such other Borrower, as applicable, being referred to as the “Rated Borrower”)) then falls.  As of the Second Amendment Date, the Applicable Margins are determined based on Level 4.  Any change in the applicable Credit Ratings which would cause the Applicable Margins to move to a different Level shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar month immediately following receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice (which may be by telecopy or electronic mail) delivered in accordance with Section 8.4.(k) that Rated Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed; provided, however, if the notice required by such Section has not been delivered but the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Rated Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, adjust the Level effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the date the Administrative Agent becomes aware that the Rated Borrower’s Credit Rating has changed.  During any period that the Rated Borrower has three Credit Ratings, the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the highest of the Credit Ratings unless the

 



 

difference between the highest and lowest of such Credit Ratings is two ratings categories (e.g. Baal by Moody’s and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) or more, in which case the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the average of the two highest Credit Ratings, provided that if such average is not a recognized rating category, then the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the second highest Credit Rating of the three.  During any period that the Rated Borrower has only two Credit Ratings, the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the higher of such two Credit Rating unless the difference between such Credit Ratings is two ratings categories (e.g. Baal by Moody’s and BBB- by S&P or Fitch) or more, in which case the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on the Level corresponding to the Credit Rating that is one level below the highest Credit Rating.  During any period for which the Rated Borrower has a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency that is either S&P or Moody’s, then the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on such Credit Rating.  During any period that the Rated Borrower shall not have a Credit Rating from both S&P and Moody’s, the Applicable Margins shall be determined based on Level 5.

 

(b)                                 The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the definition of “LIBOR” as follows:

 

If LIBOR determined as provided above would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating the definition of “Unencumbered Asset Value” in full as follows:

 

Unencumbered Asset Value” means, without duplication (a) the Unencumbered Adjusted NOI (excluding Net Operating Income attributable to (i) Development Properties, (ii) Transition Assets and (iii) Newly-Acquired Properties) for the immediately preceding period of four consecutive fiscal quarters divided by the Capitalization Rate; provided that, for the Annualization Period for a Newly-Acquired Property or Transition Asset, the Unencumbered Adjusted NOI for such Newly-Acquired Property or Transition Asset, as applicable, shall be determined on an Annualized basis, plus (b) the GAAP book value of all Eligible Properties acquired during the six fiscal quarters most recently ended, plus (c) the Structured Finance Value, plus (d) the GAAP book value of Development Properties or Transition Assets that would be “Eligible Properties” if fully developed; plus (e) the GAAP book value of Mortgage Receivables held by a Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (i) that are not, and if held by a Subsidiary, no Borrower’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary is, subject to any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) or any Negative Pledge, and (ii) with respect to which a Borrower has a right, directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary, to create Liens on such Mortgage Receivables as security for Indebtedness of such Borrower and to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Mortgage Receivable, in each case, without the need to obtain the consent of any Person.  For purposes of this definition, to the extent that the percentage of Unencumbered Asset Value attributable to (x) assets identified in clauses (c), (d) and (e) above would exceed 10.0% of Unencumbered Asset Value and/or (y) Properties subject to a Ground Lease (not including each of 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 461 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York and 711 Third Avenue, New York, New York) would

 

2



 

exceed 10% of the Unencumbered Asset Value, then, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), such excess shall be excluded from the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value.  Further, no Property, Structured Finance Investment or Mortgage Receivable owned or held by an entity other than a Borrower shall be included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value if such entity, or an entity (other than a Borrower) that has a direct or indirect ownership interest in such entity, is an obligor in respect of any Indebtedness (other than Nonrecourse Indebtedness of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof).  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Property, Structured Finance Investment or Mortgage Receivable owned or held by a Single Asset Entity or SL Green Funding, if such Person is an obligor in respect of any Indebtedness, be included in the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value.

 

(d)                                 The Credit Agreement is further amended by inserting the following definitions in Section 1.1. thereof in appropriate alphabetical order:

 

Rated Borrower” has the meaning given that term in the definition of the term “Applicable Margin”.

 

Second Amendment Date” means January 6, 2015.

 

(e)                                  The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting the definition of “Tangible Net Worth” from Section 1.1. thereof in its entirety.

 

(f)                                   The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 4.1.(a) thereof in its entirety as follows.

 

(a)                                 Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or any Participant determines that, as the result of a Regulatory Change, compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans or participating in Letters of Credit below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.

 

(g)                                  The Credit Agreement is further amended by restating Section 9.1.(a) thereof in its entirety as follows.
