NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are a publicly traded, self-managed equity REIT that focuses on the ownership, management, and repositioning of high-quality retail and mixed-use properties located primarily in what we believe to be faster growing, business-friendly markets exhibiting accommodative business tax policies, outsized relative job and population growth, and where retail demand exceeds supply. We have pursued our investment strategy by investing primarily through fee simple ownership of our properties, commercial loans and preferred equity.

As of September 30, 2024, we own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, 22 commercial real estate properties in seven states in the United States, comprising 4.6 million square feet of gross leasable space. In addition to our income property portfolio, as of September 30, 2024, our business included the following:

Management Services: A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”) as well as; (i) a portfolio of assets pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement (hereinafter defined) and (ii) Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Subsurface Management Agreement (hereinafter defined), as further described in Note 5, “Management Services Business”.

Commercial Loans and Investments: A portfolio of four commercial loan investments and two preferred equity investments which are classified as commercial loan investments.

Real Estate Operations: During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold its remaining mitigation credits. These credits were produced by the Company’s formerly owned mitigation bank. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold its portfolio of subsurface mineral interests associated with approximately 352,000 surface acres in 19 counties in the State of Florida (“Subsurface Interests”), as further described in Note 6, “Real Estate Operations”. As part of the Subsurface Interests sale, the Company entered into a management agreement with the buyer to provide ongoing management services (the “Subsurface Management Agreement”).

Investment in PINE: Our business also includes our investment in PINE. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our investment totaled $43.0 million, or 15.3% of PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “PINE Operating Partnership”), which are redeemable for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of PINE common stock at the time of the redemption, or shares of PINE common stock on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in investment and other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

10

Table of Contents

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has an equity investment in PINE.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards related to the manner in which enterprises report operating segment information. The Company operates in four primary business segments including income properties, management services, commercial loans and investments, and real estate operations, as further discussed within Note 22, “Business Segment Data”.  The Company has no other reportable segments. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a disaggregated basis for purposes of allocating and evaluating financial performance.

Real Estate

The Company’s real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Such assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to the applicable property accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The cost of property retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, was $8.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, was $21.2 million and $19.1 million, respectively.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Among other factors, fluctuating market conditions that can exist in the national real estate markets and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets make it possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to the Company’s investments in income properties, could change materially due to continued volatility in the real estate and financial markets, or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled $1.7 million at September 30, 2024, which is being held in four interest and/or real estate tax reserve accounts related to the Company’s commercial loans and investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity

The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivatives are included in either other assets or accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. On the date each

11

Table of Contents

interest rate swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivatives as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.

The Company documented the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. At the hedges’ inception, the Company assessed whether the derivatives that are used in hedging the transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items, and we will continue to do so on a quarterly basis.

Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items (see Note 16, “Interest Rate Swaps”).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s Credit Facility (hereinafter defined) as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The face value of the Company’s fixed rate commercial loans and investments, the 2026 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), the 2027 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), the 2028 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), the 2029 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), mortgage note, and convertible debt held as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are measured at fair value based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks and maturities (see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by U.S. GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. U.S. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Recognition of Interest Income from Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income on commercial loans and investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of purchase discounts and loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of loan costs. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance and purchase discounts and loan origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.

Mitigation Credits

Mitigation credits are stated at historical cost. As these assets are sold, the related revenues and cost of sales are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had disposed of all of its remaining mitigation credits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of accrued tenant reimbursable expenses and other tenant receivables. Receivables related to income property tenants totaled $5.1 million and $4.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are primarily related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with two land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015 as more fully described in Note 11, “Other Assets.”

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables shall be considered and adjusted through an allowance for doubtful accounts which is included in income property revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

Investments in real estate are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of investments in real estate reflects their purchase price or development cost. We evaluate each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, an acquisition does not qualify as a business when there is no substantive process acquired or substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life or improve the productive capacity of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

In accordance with FASB guidance, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless management believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the lease upon expiration, in which case the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period. The value of in-place leases and leasing costs are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.

The Company incurs costs related to the development and leasing of its properties. Such costs include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, rebranding, facility expansion and other capital improvements, and are included in construction in progress during the development period. When a construction project is considered to be substantially complete, the capitalized costs are reclassified to the appropriate real estate asset and depreciation begins. The Company assesses the level of construction activity to determine the amount, if any, of interest expense to be capitalized to the underlying construction projects.

Sales of Real Estate

When income properties are disposed of, the related cost basis of the real estate, intangible lease assets, and intangible lease liabilities, net of accumulated depreciation and/or amortization, and any accrued straight-line rental income balance for the underlying operating leases are removed, and gains or losses from the dispositions are reflected in net income within gain (loss) on disposition of assets. In accordance with the FASB guidance, gains or losses on sales of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method.

Gains and losses on land sales, in addition to the sale of Subsurface Interests and mitigation credits, are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue from such sales when the Company transfers the promised goods in the contract based on the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations within the contract. As market information becomes available, the underlying cost basis is analyzed and recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. To comply with certain REIT requirements, the Company holds certain of its non-REIT assets and operations through TRSs and subsidiaries of TRSs, which are subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2023, the Company held a total of two TRSs, each subject to taxation and the separate filing of its corporate income tax returns. As of January 1, 2024, the Company consolidated its TRSs into one TRS subject to taxation and the filing of a single corporate income tax return.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes for the Company’s TRS. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes (see Note 20, “Income Taxes”). In June 2006, the FASB issued additional guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements included in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure and transition. In accordance with FASB guidance included in income taxes, the Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

NOTE 4. COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

Our investments in commercial loans or similarly structured investments, such as preferred equity, mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, have been and are expected to continue to be secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. The investments are associated with commercial real estate located in the United States and its territories, and are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position in the underlying collateral. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, a mezzanine loan is not secured by a lien on the property. An investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property.

Table of Contents

The Company’s variable interest in the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment is primarily due to the inherent credit risk associated with the $30.0 million fixed-return preferred investment. The day-to-day operations, including asset management and leasing, of the Watters Creek Property are managed by an unrelated third-party. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company determined we are not the primary beneficiary of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment; accordingly, the entity was not consolidated. The investment was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a commercial loan investment at the time of acquisition. The significant factors related to this determination included, but were not limited to, the Company not having the power to direct the activities of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment due to (i) the day-to-day operations being managed by an unrelated third-party and (ii) the Company’s position as minority lender with fixed returns and maturity dates for the repayment of the $30.0 million preferred investment.

NOTE 10. PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT

Income Properties. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third party valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.

There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $0.9 million impairment charge on the sale of the Westcliff Property. The purchase and sale agreement for the Company’s sale of the Westcliff Property was executed on July 28, 2023. The impairment charge of $0.9 million represents the sales price, less the book value of the asset as of September 30, 2023, less costs to sell. The sale of the Westcliff Property closed on October 12, 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments. Pursuant to ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company measures and records a provision for current expected credit losses (“CECL”) each time a new investment is made or a loan is repaid, as well as if changes to estimates occur during a quarterly measurement period. We are unable to use historical data to estimate expected credit losses, as we have incurred no losses to date. Management utilizes a loss-rate method and considers macroeconomic factors to estimate its CECL allowance, which is calculated based on the amortized cost basis of the commercial loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.7 million impairment charge, comprised of a $0.2 million charge related to the discount provided to the borrower on their early repayment of the Sabal Pavilion loan, as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”, and a $0.5 million increase in our CECL allowance due to a net increase in principal outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $0.5 million impairment charge, representing the provision for credit losses related to our commercial loans and investments.

See Note 14, “Share Repurchases” for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock repurchase activity.

DIVIDENDS

Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the

NOTE 13. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders during the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the assumption of the vesting of restricted stock at the beginning of each period using the treasury stock method at average cost for the periods. Effective as of January 1, 2022, diluted earnings per common share also reflects the 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined) on an if-converted basis.

On December 20, 2023, the Company entered into the ninth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “Ninth Amendment”), which revises certain non-monetary limitations as described in more detail in the Ninth Amendment.

The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change in control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

2029 Term Loan. On September 30, 2024, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and certain other lenders named therein, for a term loan (the “2029 Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million with a maturity of five years. The 2029 Term Loan bears interest at SOFR plus a spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company applied existing SOFR swap agreements, previously used to fix the interest rate on $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, to the 2029 Term Loan resulting in an initial effective fixed interest rate on the 2029 Term Loan of 4.68%.

Mortgage Notes Payable. On March 3, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of Price Plaza Shopping Center, the Company assumed an existing $17.8 million secured fixed-rate mortgage note payable, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.06% and matures in August 2026.

Convertible Debt. The Company had an initial aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million of 3.875% Convertible Notes  (the “2025 Notes”). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $2.6 million discount, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased $11.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $1.6 million premium, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million. Following these repurchases, $51.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding at September 30, 2024.  

On February 16, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2025 Notes repurchase program, which is expected to be in effect until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase 2025 Notes (the “2025 Notes Repurchase Program”). Pursuant to the 2025 Notes Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, in one or more transactions, 2025 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of not more than $4.74 million. The 2025 Notes Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of 2025 Notes and may be modified or suspended. The Company was not active under the 2025 Notes Repurchase Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The 2025 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 15th and October 15th, commencing on April 15, 2020, at a rate of 3.875% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on April 15, 2025 and may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes was initially 12.7910 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 of principal of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $78.18 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represented a premium of 20% to the $65.15 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2020. If the Company’s Board increases the quarterly dividend above the $0.13 per share in place at issuance, the conversion rate is adjusted with each such increase in the quarterly dividend amount. After the third quarter 2024 dividend, the conversion rate is equal to 71.3007 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of $14.03 per share of common stock. At the maturity date, the Company is required to settle the 2025 Notes in cash. Should certain corporate transactions or events occur prior to the

30

Table of Contents

stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or event.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their 2025 Notes for conversion prior to January 15, 2025 except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. In the event a holder surrenders its 2025 Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election, settle the conversion in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s ultimate election regarding settlement of 2025 Notes upon any conversion thereof will be made based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to economic and market conditions, and the Company’s liquidity. At time of issuance, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the 2025 Notes were accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. The equity component was eliminated on January 1, 2022 with the 2025 Notes Adjustment.

As of September 30, 2024, the unamortized debt discount of our 2025 Notes was $0.1 million, which represents the cash component of the discount.

The use of interest rate swap agreements carries risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these agreements are not able to perform. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not currently anticipate that any of the counterparties to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements will fail to meet their obligations. As of September 30, 2024, there were no events of default related to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.

EQUITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

Performance Share Awards – Peer Group Market Condition Vesting

Performance shares have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. The performance share awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of performance shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock ultimately received by the award recipient is determined based on the Company’s total stockholder return as compared to the total stockholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period. The Company granted a total of 100,391  performance shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its awards that are based on market conditions. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and stockholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

As of September 30, 2024, there was $2.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the non-vested performance share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.8 years.

A summary of the activity for these awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:

Restricted Shares

Restricted shares have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. Certain of the restricted shares vest  on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28 of the applicable year provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on those dates. Certain other restricted share awards, granted on July 1, 2022, vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant date, or July 1, 2025, provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on that date. In addition, any unvested portion of the restricted shares will vest upon a change in control. The Company granted a total of 107,191 shares of restricted Company common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company’s determination of the fair value of the restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period.

As of September 30, 2024, there was $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the non-vested restricted share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.8 years.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION

Each member of the Company’s Board of Directors has the option to receive his or her annual retainer and meeting fees in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director plus (B) meeting fees earned by such director during the quarter, by (ii) the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Each non-employee director serving as of the beginning of each calendar year shall receive an annual award of the Company’s common stock. The value of such award totaled $62,500 and $35,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (the “Annual Award”). The number of shares awarded is calculated based on the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the date two business days prior to the date of the award, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. Non-employee directors do not receive meeting fees, but do receive additional retainers for service on Board committees, as set forth in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy available on the Company’s website (www.ctoreit.com).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.6 million, or 33,629 shares, and $0.4 million, or 21,247 shares, respectively. The expense recognized includes the Annual Award received during the first quarter of each respective year, which totaled $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 20. INCOME TAXES

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income

35

Table of Contents

taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. To comply with certain REIT requirements, the Company holds certain of its non-REIT assets and operations through TRSs and subsidiaries of TRSs, which are subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2023, the Company held a total of two TRSs, each subject to taxation and the separate filing of its corporate income tax returns. As of January 1, 2024, the Company consolidated its TRSs into one TRS subject to taxation and the filing of a single corporate income tax return.

As a result of the Company’s election to be taxed as a REIT, during the year ended December 31, 2020, an $82.5 million deferred tax benefit was recorded to de-recognize the deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the entities included in the REIT. A significant portion of the deferred tax benefit recognized related to the de-recognition of deferred tax liabilities resulting from Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchanges (“1031 Exchanges”). The Company will be subject to corporate income taxes related to assets held by it that are sold during the 5-year period following the date of conversion to the extent such sold assets had a built-in gain as of January 1, 2020. The Company has disposed of certain, primarily single-tenant, REIT assets after the REIT conversion within the 5-year period. All such sales were completed using 1031 Exchanges or other deferred tax structures to mitigate the built-in gain tax liability of conversion.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” we mean CTO Realty Growth, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Also, when the Company uses any of the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” or similar expressions, the Company is making forward-looking statements. Management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon present expectations and reasonable assumptions. However, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.  The risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to, the following:  

we are subject to risks related to the ownership of commercial real estate that could affect the performance and value of our properties;

our business is dependent upon our tenants successfully operating their businesses, and their failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us;

competition that traditional retail tenants face from e-commerce retail sales, or the integration of brick and mortar stores with e-commerce retail operators, could adversely affect our business;

we operate in a highly competitive market for the acquisition of income properties and more established entities or other investors may be able to compete more effectively for acquisition opportunities than we can;

we may be unable to successfully execute on asset acquisitions or dispositions;

the loss of revenues from our income property portfolio or certain tenants would adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows;

our revenues include receipt of management fees and potentially incentive fees derived from our provision of management services to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”) and the loss or failure, or decline in the business or assets, of PINE could substantially reduce our revenues;

there are various potential conflicts of interest in our relationship with PINE, including that some of our executive officers and/or directors are also officers and/or directors of PINE, which could result in decisions that are not in the best interest of our stockholders;

a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could adversely impact our business, particularly with regard to our ability to maintain revenues from our income-producing assets;

a part of our investment strategy is focused on investing in commercial loans and investments which may involve credit risk or the risk that our borrowers will fail to pay scheduled contractual payments to us when due;

we may suffer losses when a borrower defaults on a loan and the value of the underlying collateral is less than the amount due;

the Company’s real estate investments are generally illiquid;

if we are not successful in utilizing the Section 1031 like-kind exchange structure in deploying the proceeds from dispositions of income properties, or our Section 1031 like-kind exchange transactions are disqualified, we could incur significant taxes and our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted;

the Company may be unable to obtain debt or equity capital on favorable terms, if at all, or additional borrowings may impact our liquidity or ability to monetize any assets securing such borrowings;

servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to service or pay our debt;

our operations and properties could be adversely affected in the event of natural disasters, pandemics, or other significant disruptions;

we may encounter environmental problems which require remediation or the incurrence of significant costs to resolve, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;

39

Table of Contents

failure to remain qualified as real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for distribution to stockholders;

the risk that the REIT requirements could limit our financial flexibility;

our limited experience operating as a REIT;

our ability to pay dividends consistent with the REIT requirements, and expectations as to timing and amounts of such dividends;

the ability of our board of directors (the “Board”) to revoke our REIT status without stockholder approval;

our exposure to changes in U.S. federal and state income tax laws, including changes to the REIT requirements;

general business and economic conditions, including unstable macroeconomic conditions due to, among other things, political unrest and economic uncertainty due to terrorism or war, inflation, rising interest rates and distress in the banking sector; and

an epidemic or pandemic (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address it, may precipitate or materially exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned and/or other risks and may significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period.

The Company describes the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially in “Risk Factors” (Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023), “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” (Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” (Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

OVERVIEW

We are a publicly traded, self-managed equity REIT that focuses on the ownership, management, and repositioning of high-quality retail and mixed-use properties located primarily in what we believe to be faster growing, business-friendly markets exhibiting accommodative business tax policies, outsized relative job and population growth, and where retail demand exceeds supply. We have pursued our investment strategy by investing primarily through fee simple ownership of our properties, commercial loans and preferred equity.

As of September 30, 2024, we own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, 22 commercial real estate properties in seven states in the United States, comprising 4.6 million square feet of gross leasable space. In addition to our income property portfolio, as of September 30, 2024, our business included the following:

Management Services: A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing PINE as well as: (i) a portfolio of assets pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement (hereinafter defined) and (ii) Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Subsurface Management Agreement (hereinafter defined), as further described in Note 5, “Management Services Business”.

Commercial Loans and Investments: A portfolio of four commercial loan investments and two preferred equity investments which are classified as commercial loan investments.

Real Estate Operations: During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold its remaining mitigation credits. These credits were produced by the Company’s formerly owned mitigation bank. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold its portfolio of subsurface mineral interests associated with approximately 352,000 surface acres in 19 counties in the State of Florida (“Subsurface Interests”), as further described in Note 6, “Real Estate Operations”. As part of the Subsurface Interests sale, the Company entered into a management agreement with the buyer to provide ongoing management services (the “Subsurface Management Agreement”).

Investment in PINE: Our business also includes our investment in PINE. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our investment totaled $43.0 million, or 15.3% of PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “PINE Operating Partnership”), which are redeemable for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of PINE common stock at the time of the redemption, or shares of PINE common stock on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that

40

Table of Contents

such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in investment and other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals and target markets, including markets we believe to be faster growing, business-friendly markets exhibiting accommodative business tax policies, outsized relative job and population growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g. location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g. creditworthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g. tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g. strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, ability to use a Section 1031 like-kind exchange structure, etc.).

We believe investment in income-producing assets provides attractive opportunities for generally stable cash flows and increased returns over the long run through potential capital appreciation. Our focus on acquiring income-producing investments includes a continual review of our existing income property portfolio to identify opportunities to recycle our capital through the sale of income properties based on, among other possible factors, the current or expected performance of the property and favorable market conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold two income properties for an aggregate sales price of $38.0 million and aggregate gains on sale of $3.8 million. As a result of entering into the Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement with PINE (the “ROFO Agreement”) which generally prevents us from investing in single-tenant net lease income properties, our income property investment strategy is focused on multi-tenant, primarily retail-oriented, properties. We may pursue this strategy by monetizing certain of our single-tenant properties, and should we do so, we would seek to utilize the 1031 like-kind exchange structure to preserve the tax-deferred gain on the original transaction(s) that pertains to the replacement asset.

Our current portfolio of 16 multi-tenant properties generates $85.8 million of revenue from annualized straight-line base lease payments and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.0 years as of September 30, 2024. Our current portfolio of 6 single-tenant income properties generates $5.6 million of revenues from annualized straight-line base lease payments and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.5 years as of September 30, 2024.

Additionally, revenues from our commercial loans and investments increased, which was offset by reduced revenues from our real estate operations.

Income Properties

Revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled $28.5 million and $20.7 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to total revenue and operating income of $25.2 million and $18.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled $7.8 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in revenues of $3.3 million, or 13.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily related to the overall growth and lease up of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as the timing of acquisitions versus dispositions. The increase in operating income of $2.6 million from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues related to net investment as well as leasing activity.

Management Services

Revenue from our management services from PINE totaled $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Management services during the three months ended September 30, 2024 also included less than $0.1 million of revenue, from each of the asset management agreement with a third party to manage a portfolio of multi-tenant and single-tenant assets (the “Portfolio Management Agreement”) and the Subsurface Management Agreement, with no such revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from our commercial loans and investments totaled $1.6 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased income as a result of the timing of investments made related to new loan originations and structured investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Real Estate Operations

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, operating income from real estate operations was $0.2 million and $0.9 million on revenues totaling $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were $0.4 million more in mitigation credit sales, increasing mitigation credit cost of sales by $0.3 million, offset by $0.9 million less in subsurface sales as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 no mitigation credits or Subsurface Interests remain to be sold.

Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Assets and Provision for Impairment

Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold one multi-tenant income property located in West Jordan, Utah for $18.0 million resulting in a loss on sale of $0.8 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold two income properties, including (i) an outparcel of the multi-tenant property known as Crossroads Towne Center, located in Chandler, Arizona, for $2.3 million and (ii) a single tenant office property located in Reston, Virginia leased to General Dynamics for $18.5 million. The sale of these two properties reflect a total disposition volume of $20.9 million, resulting in aggregate gains of $2.5 million.

Provision for Impairment. There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $0.9 million impairment charge on the sale of the Westcliff Property which represents the sales price, less the book value of the asset as of September 30, 2023, less costs to sell.

The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, related to an increase in our current expected credit losses (“CECL”) allowance due to the net increase in principal outstanding on the Company’s portfolio of commercial loans and investments. No such impairment charges related to CECL were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Investment and Other Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the closing stock price of PINE increased by $2.64 per share, with a closing price of $18.20 on September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the closing stock price of PINE increased by $0.11 per share, with a closing price of $16.36 on September 30, 2023.

The Company earned dividend income from the investment in PINE of $0.7 million and 0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $5.6 million and $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $0.7 million is primarily due to the $1.0 million reduction in interest on the Credit Facility due to a lower average outstanding balance during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Net Income Attributable to the Company

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $6.2 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $3.5 million decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased to $88.7 million, compared to $79.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $9.5 million increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to increased income produced by the Company’s recent income property acquisitions versus that of properties disposed of by the Company during the comparative period as well as more same store revenue from our properties owned during each period. Additionally, revenues from our commercial loans and investments increased as a result of the growth in the commercial loan and investment portfolio.

Income Properties

Revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled $79.0 million and $56.4 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to total revenue and operating income of $70.4 million and $49.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled $22.6 million and $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in revenues of $8.6 million, or 12.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily related to the overall growth and lease up of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as the timing of acquisitions versus dispositions. The increase in operating income of $6.9 million from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues related to net investments as well as leasing activity.

Management Services

Revenue from our management services from PINE totaled $3.1 million and $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which decrease is due to the decrease in PINE’s total equity. Management services during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 also included $0.1 million of revenue, from each of the Portfolio Management Agreement and the Subsurface Management Agreement, with no such revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from our commercial loans and investments totaled $4.4 million and $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased income as a result of the timing of investments made related to new loan originations and structured investments during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by a reduction in interest income attributable to the repayment of one loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Real Estate Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, operating income from real estate operations was $0.5 million and $1.7 million on revenues totaling $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

stock price resulted in unrealized non-cash gains (losses) on the Company’s investment in PINE in the amount of $3.1 million and $(6.0) million which is included in investment and other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company earned dividend income from the investment in PINE of $1.9 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company derecognized a contingent obligation through a $2.3 million increase in investment and other income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, pursuant to a lease amendment whereby the Company’s obligation to fund certain tenant improvements was eliminated.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $16.8 million and $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $0.6 million is primarily related to increases in the Company’s fixed rates on the 2026 Term Loan and the 2027 Term Loan due to swaps effective on March 29, 2024, which was partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction in interest on the Credit Facility due to a lower average outstanding balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company

Net income (loss) attributable to the Company totaled $13.3 million and $(1.5) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $14.8 million increase in net income is attributable to the factors described above, most notably the $6.5 million increase in investment and other income, as well as an increase in operating income from our income property portfolio as described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.2 million at September 30, 2024, while restricted cash totaled $1.7 million, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading Restricted Cash for the Company’s disclosure related to its restricted cash balance at September 30, 2024.

Our cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $45.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $39.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $5.9 million. The primary reason for the increase is the increased cash flows provided by income properties, which is the result of the overall growth and lease up of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as increased cash flows from our commercial loans and investments.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled $215.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $98.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, for an increase in cash outflows of $117.0 million. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of an increase in acquisition activity of income properties and commercial loans and investments, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from dispositions, for an increase in net cash used of $121.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Our cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $161.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $66.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase in cash inflows of $94.8 million. The increase is primarily due to a $132.3 million increase in proceeds from common and preferred stock issuances under the respective ATM programs, proceeds from preferred equity issuances of $33.0 million, partially offset by a $70.3 million decrease in cash inflows provided by net debt activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Long-Term Debt. At September 30, 2024, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $300.0 million. The undrawn commitment under the Credit Facility totaled $205.0 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired four multi-tenant income properties, one vacant land parcel within an existing multi-tenant property, and one building within an existing multi-tenant income property for an aggregate purchase price of $210.0 million, or a total acquisition cost of $207.8 million.

The Company’s guidance for 2024 investments in income-producing properties, including structured investments, ranges from $300.0 million to $350.0 million. We expect to fund future acquisitions utilizing cash on hand, cash from operations, proceeds from the dispositions of income properties through 1031 like-kind exchanges, borrowings on our Credit Facility, if available, and additional financing sources. We expect dispositions of income properties will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure.

Dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold two income properties for an aggregate sales price of $38.0 million and aggregate gains on sales of $3.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold  three income properties for an aggregate sales price of $22.9 million and aggregate gains on sales of $3.3 million.

ATM Program.

Other Matters. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations, $3.6 million of availability remaining under the 2022 ATM Program, and $205.0 million undrawn commitment under the existing $300.0 million Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024.

Our Board and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our stockholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing the Company’s securities, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue our strategy to diversify our portfolio by redeploying proceeds from like-kind exchange transactions and utilizing our Credit Facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, providing stabilized cash flows with strong risk-adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas and growth markets.

We believe that we currently have a reasonable level of leverage. Our strategy is to utilize leverage, when appropriate and necessary, and proceeds from sales of income properties and the disposition or payoffs on our commercial loans and investments to acquire income properties. We may also acquire or originate commercial loans and investments, invest in

securities of real estate companies, or make other shorter-term investments. Our targeted investment classes may include the following:

Multi-tenant, primarily retail-oriented, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets, typically stabilized;
Single-tenant retail or other commercial, double or triple net leased, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets that are compliant with our commitments under the PINE ROFO Agreement;
Ground leases, whether purchased or originated by the Company, that are compliant with our commitments under the ROFO Agreement;
Self-developed retail or other commercial properties;
Commercial loans and investments, whether purchased or originated by the Company, with loan terms of 1-10 years with strong risk-adjusted yields secured by property types to include hotel, retail, residential, land and industrial;
Select regional area investments using Company market knowledge and expertise to earn strong risk-adjusted yields; and
Real estate-related investment securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, preferred or common stock, and corporate bonds.

Our investments in income-producing properties are typically subject to long-term leases. For multi-tenant properties, each tenant typically pays its proportionate share of the aforementioned operating expenses of the property, although for such properties we typically incur additional costs for property management services. Single-tenant leases are typically in the form of triple or double net leases and ground leases. Triple-net leases generally require the tenant to pay property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and capital expenditures.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also disclose Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”), and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), each of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operating activities as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT.

NAREIT defines FFO as U.S. GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, as well as extraordinary items (as defined by U.S. GAAP) such as net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and impairments associated with the implementation of current expected credit losses on commercial loans and investments at the time of origination, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. The Company also excludes the gains or losses from sales of assets incidental to the primary business of the REIT which specifically include the sales of mitigation credits, subsurface sales, investment securities, and land sales, in addition to the mark-to-market of the Company’s investment securities and interest related to the 2025 Convertible Senior Notes, if the effect is dilutive. To derive Core FFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income related to gains and losses recognized on the extinguishment of debt, amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangibles, and other unforecastable market- or transaction-driven non-cash items, as well as adding back the interest related to the 2025 Convertible Senior Notes, if the effect is dilutive. To derive AFFO, we further modify the NAREIT computation of FFO and Core FFO to include other adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash amortization. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains or losses on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that Core FFO and AFFO are additional useful supplemental measures for investors to consider because they will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, a total of $0.5 million and $1.6 million of interest was not included, respectively, as the impact of the 2025 Notes, if-converted, would be antidilutive to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the respective periods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates include those estimates made in accordance with U.S. GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Our most significant estimate is as follows:

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease.  As required by U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The assumptions underlying the allocation of relative fair values are based on market information including, but not limited to: (i) the estimate of replacement cost of improvements under the cost approach, (ii) the estimate of land values based on comparable sales under the sales comparison approach, and (iii) the estimate of future benefits determined by either a reasonable rate of return over a single year’s net cash flow, or a forecast of net cash flows projected over a reasonable investment horizon under the income capitalization approach. The underlying assumptions are subject to uncertainty and thus any changes to the allocation of fair value to each of the various line items within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets could have an impact on the Company’s financial condition as well as results of operations due to resulting changes in depreciation and amortization as a result of the fair value allocation. The acquisitions of real estate subject to this estimate totaled four multi-tenant income properties, one vacant land parcel within an existing multi-tenant property, and one building within an existing multi-tenant income property for an aggregate purchase price of $210.0 million, or a total acquisition cost of $207.8 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and four buildings within an existing multi-tenant income property, one multi-tenant property, and one vacant land parcel adjacent to an existing multi-tenant property for an aggregate purchase price of $80.0 million, or a total acquisition cost of $80.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, for further discussion of the Company’s accounting estimates and policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risk (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices), to which we are exposed is interest rate risk relating to our debt. We may utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments as a means to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not believe that interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments, if any, is material due to the nature of the investments.

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk relating to our own debt in connection with our Credit Facility, as this facility carries a variable rate of interest. Our borrowings on our $300.0 million Credit Facility bear interest at a rate ranging from SOFR plus 0.10% plus 125 basis points to SOFR plus 0.10% plus 220 basis points based on our level of borrowing as a percentage of our total asset value. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility totaled $95.0 million of which $45.0 million was not fixed by virtue of an interest rate swap agreement. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility was $216.0 million of which $116.0 million was not fixed by virtue of an interest rate swap agreement. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows by $0.5 million and $1.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from fluctuating interest rates related to certain of its debt borrowings, see Note 16, “Interest Rate Swaps” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. By virtue of fixing the variable rate on certain debt borrowings, our exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal but for the impact on other comprehensive income and loss. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For a discussion of the Company’s potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company. As of September 30, 2024, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Employment Agreement with Lisa M. Vorakoun

On October 22, 2024, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Lisa M. Vorakoun. Ms. Vorakoun has been employed by us since January 7, 2013 and currently serves as our Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer.

Under the Employment Agreement, Ms. Vorakoun will receive an annual base salary of $275,000, which is subject to review and increase at the discretion of the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”).

In addition, for each fiscal year ending during her employment, Ms. Vorakoun will be eligible to participate in, and earn annual incentive compensation pursuant to, our Amended 2017 Executive Annual Cash Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”). Ms. Vorakoun’s Individual Target Opportunity (as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan) under the Annual Incentive Plan for 2024 will be 75% of Ms. Vorakoun’s then current base salary, with “threshold”, “target” and “maximum” Multipliers (as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan) for 2024 of 50%, 100% and 200% of the Individual Target Opportunity (as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan), all as set forth under the Annual Incentive Plan. The annual incentive compensation payable to Ms. Vorakoun will be determined by the Board, based on the attainment of corporate and individual performance goals as determined by the Board and consistent with the terms and conditions of the Annual Incentive Plan, and may be paid in cash or in a combination of cash and equity incentive awards.

For each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, Ms. Vorakoun will be eligible to receive an award of long-term equity incentive compensation, to be granted in accordance with our executive compensation program in effect from time to time. Such awards typically will be granted near the commencement of each fiscal year under our equity incentive plan in effect from time to time pursuant to separate written agreements between Ms. Vorakoun and us.

Ms. Vorakoun is eligible to participate in any retirement plan, insurance or other employee benefit plan that is maintained at that time by us for our senior executive employees, including programs of life, disability, medical, dental and vision insurance, subject to the provisions of such plans as may be in effect from time to time and applicable law.

Compensation payable to Ms. Vorakoun pursuant to the Employment Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with us will be subject to clawback under any written clawback policies that we or PINE has adopted or may adopt to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, if Ms. Vorakoun’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then Ms. Vorakoun will be entitled to receive (i) her accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, which will be paid on the pay date immediately following the date of Ms. Vorakoun’s termination in accordance with our customary payroll procedures or earlier if required by applicable law; (ii) reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Ms. Vorakoun prior to termination, which will be subject to and paid in accordance with our expense reimbursement policy and the Employment Agreement; (iii) such employee benefits to which Ms. Vorakoun may be entitled under any of our employee benefit plans or policies as of the date of Ms. Vorakoun’s termination; (iv) any payments and benefits to the extent set forth in the award agreements pertaining to Ms. Vorakoun’s equity incentive awards; and (v) any amounts due and payable under the Annual Incentive Plan. In addition, if, at any time during the 24-month period after a “change in control” (as defined in the Employment

53

Table of Contents

Agreement) occurs, Ms. Vorakoun’s employment is terminated by us other than for “cause” or Ms. Vorakoun voluntarily terminates her employment for “good reason” (each, as defined in the Employment Agreement), then Ms. Vorakoun will receive (A) any unpaid accrued base salary, expense reimbursements, and other benefits earned and accrued under the Employment Agreement through the date of termination, (B) any payments and benefits to the extent set forth in the award agreements pertaining to Ms. Vorakoun’s equity incentive awards, (C) any amounts due and payable under the Annual Incentive Plan, and (D) a separation payment in an amount equal to 12 months of Ms. Vorakoun’s then-current base salary, less applicable taxes and withholdings, in one lump sum cash payment no later than the 60th day after the date of termination of Ms. Vorakoun’s employment.

Ms. Vorakoun’s right to receive the severance payments and benefits described above is subject to her compliance with restrictive covenants described below and her delivery and non-revocation of an effective general release of claims in our favor.

The Employment Agreement contains customary non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and intellectual property provisions.

Under the Employment Agreement, if there is a change in ownership or control of us that would cause any payment or distribution by us or any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, company, association, or other entity to Ms. Vorakoun or for Ms. Vorakoun’s benefit (each a “Payment”) to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (such excise tax, together with any interest or penalties incurred by Ms. Vorakoun with respect to such excise tax, the “Excise Tax”), Ms. Vorakoun will receive the greatest of the following, whichever gives Ms. Vorakoun the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and social security taxes): (a) the Payments or (b) one dollar less than the amount of the Payments that would subject Ms. Vorakoun to the Excise Tax.

The foregoing summary of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

Amendments to Employment Agreements with John P. Albright, Steven R. Greathouse and Daniel E. Smith

On October 22, 2024, we entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to the employment agreements that we previously entered into with each of John P. Albright, Steven R. Greathouse and Daniel E. Smith. The Amendments align certain provisions in the employment agreements for Messrs. Albright, Greathouse and Smith with provisions contained in the employment agreements that we have entered into recently with Ms. Vorakoun and Philip R. Mays. More specifically, the Amendments provide that we will work together in good faith with each of Messrs. Albright, Greathouse and Smith to reduce or eliminate the impact, if any, of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Amendments also contain customary non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions consistent with the provisions contained in the employment agreements for Ms. Vorakoun and Mr. Mays.

The foregoing summary of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendments, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.

THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT IS NOT SECURED BY AN INTEREST IN FLORIDA REAL PROPERTY AND HAS BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.  CONSEQUENTLY, NO FLORIDA DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAX IS DUE AND PAYABLE WITH RESPECT TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT.

Credit Agreement

This Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 30, 2024, by and among CTO Realty Growth, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”), and each Material Subsidiary from time to time party to this Agreement, as Guarantors, the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Lenders, and KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent and KeyBank, as Sustainability Structuring Agent, as provided herein.  All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

Preliminary Statement

The Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed to extend, certain credit facilities on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.The Credit Facility.
Section 1.1.Reserved.  
Section 1.2.The 2029 Term Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each 2029 Term Loan Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a single term loan (each such loan, a “2029 Term Loan” and collectively, the “2029 Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed its 2029 Term Loan Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to such 2029 Term Loans, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Term Loans shall not exceed the 2029 Aggregate Term Facility Amount and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Term Loans shall not exceed the Borrowing Base as then computed and determined. The Borrowing shall consist of 2029 Term Loans made simultaneously by the 2029 Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the 2029 Term Credit Facility; provided that, if for any reason the full amount of the 2029 Term Credit Facility is not fully drawn by the Borrower on the Closing Date, the undrawn portion thereof shall automatically be cancelled.  As provided in Section 1.6(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that the 2029 Term Loans be outstanding as (i) Base Rate Loans, (ii) Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans or (iii) Term SOFR Rate Loans.  No amount repaid or prepaid on the 2029 Term Loans may be borrowed again.  
Section 1.3.Reserved.


Section 1.4.Applicable Interest Rates.
(a)Base Rate Loans.  Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a (i) Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan or (ii) Term SOFR Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(b)Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans.  Each Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a (i) Base Rate Loan or (ii) Term SOFR Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR from time to time in effect, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c)Term SOFR Rate Loans.  Each Term SOFR Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted Term SOFR applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(d)Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR.
Section 1.5.Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Term SOFR Rate Loans.  Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in an amount not less than $100,000.  Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than eight (8) Borrowings of Term SOFR Rate Loans outstanding hereunder.

Section 1.6.Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates.
(a)Notice to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time):  (i)  at least three (3)  SOFR Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Term SOFR Rate Loans and (ii) on the date the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans.  The Loans included in such Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of a Borrowing.  Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 1.5 hereof, a portion thereof, as follows:  (i) if such Borrowing is of Term SOFR Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Term SOFR Rate Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Term SOFR Rate Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting an advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans into Term SOFR Rate Loans must be given by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion.  All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify, as applicable, the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Term SOFR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto.  No Borrowing of Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default then exists.  The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
(b)Notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice to each Lender of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Term SOFR Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

-3-


(c)Borrower’s Failure to Notify.  If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans before the Interest Payment Date therefor within the period required by Section 1.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 1.8(a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected that such Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Borrowing of a Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan.  If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.6(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Rate Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.6(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 1.8(a), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given the notice three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the then current Interest Period and such Borrowing shall automatically be continued as a Borrowing of a Term SOFR Rate Loan with a one (1) month Interest Period; provided that all Lenders are able to accommodate such one (1) month Interest Period and such Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be subject to the funding indemnity set forth in Section 1.11 hereof in the event it is prepaid prior to the end of the Interest Period.
(d)Disbursement of Loans.  Each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in Cleveland, Ohio (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate) on the Closing Date.  The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as instructed by the Borrower.
(e)Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on) the Closing Date (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, (1) such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to:  (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, in effect for each such day, and (2) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such Lender’s failure to pay.  If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, promptly, and in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date that is two (2) Business Days following such demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, which payment may be in the form of a Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan under this Agreement, but without such payment being considered a

-4-


payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 1.11 hereof so that the Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment.

Section 1.7.Maturity of Loans.  
(a)2029 Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the 2029 Term Loan Lenders on the Maturity Date for the 2029 Term Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all 2029 Term Loans outstanding on such date.
(b)Incremental Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the applicable Incremental Lenders on the applicable Maturity Date for the Incremental Credit, the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Loans of the applicable tranche outstanding under such Incremental Credit on such date.
Section 1.8.Prepayments.
(a)Optional.  The Borrower may prepay any Loan in whole or in part (but, if in part, then:  (i) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of Term SOFR Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, (iii) if such Borrowing is of Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, and (iv) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing of Term SOFR Rate Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, or in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans, notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by the Administrative Agent), such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term SOFR Rate Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 1.11 hereof (if any).
(b)Mandatory.  (i) If at any time the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans then outstanding shall be in excess of the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, as contained in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 8.5(d) hereof, the Borrower shall promptly, and in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date that is two (2) Business Days following such delivery, and without notice or demand pay the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as a mandatory prepayment on such Obligations, with each such prepayment first to be applied to the 2029 Term Loans and the Incremental Loans (if any) on a combined ratable basis with respect to all such Loans until such Loans are paid in full.
(iii)Unless the Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under this Section 1.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof, then to Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans until payment in full thereof, with any balance applied to Borrowings of Term SOFR Rate Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire.  Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 1.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term SOFR Rate Loans, accrued interest thereon to

-5-


the date of prepayment together with any amounts due the Lenders under Section 1.11 hereof (if any).  
(c)No Reborrowing. Any amount of Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Section 1.9.Default Rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, if so directed by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans at a rate per annum equal to:
(a)for any Base Rate Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;
(b)for any Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus Daily Simple SOFR from time to time in effect; and
(c)for any Term SOFR Rate Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect.

provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be made by the Administrative Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrower.  While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on the demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 1.10.Evidence of Indebtedness.  (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d)Any 2029 Term Loan Lender or Incremental Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the form of Exhibit D (or such other form approved by such Lenders and Administrative Agent, herein referred to collectively as the “Notes”

-6-


and each individually as a “Note”).  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such 2029 Term Loan Lender or Incremental Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the amount of the 2029 Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Commitment, as then applicable.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.12) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.12, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described above.
Section 1.11.Funding Indemnity.  If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or reasonable expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or reasonable expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Term SOFR Rate Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:
(a)any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Term SOFR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,
(b)any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Term SOFR Rate Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Rate Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.6(a) hereof,
(c)any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Term SOFR Rate Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise),
(d)any acceleration of the maturity of a Term SOFR Rate Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, or
(e)the assignment of any Term SOFR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.13;

then, upon the demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or reasonable expense.  If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or reasonable expense in reasonable detail and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined absent manifest error.

Section 1.12.Reserved.

The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPIs will require, among other things, reporting and

-10-


validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles at the time of the ESG Amendment and is to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Sustainability Structuring Agent (each acting reasonably).  Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margin to a level not otherwise permitted by this Section shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 9.2.Non-Bankruptcy Defaults.  When any Event of Default (other than those described in subsection (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 hereof) has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrower: (a) if so directed by the Required Lenders, terminate the remaining Commitments and all other obligations of the Lenders hereunder on the date stated in such notice (which may be the date thereof); and (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on all outstanding Loans to be forthwith due and payable and thereupon all outstanding Loans, including both principal and interest thereon, shall be and become immediately due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind.  The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or this Section 9.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.
Section 9.3.Bankruptcy Defaults.  When any Event of Default described in subsections (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, then all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind.
Section 9.4.Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 9.1 hereof promptly upon being requested to do so by any Lender and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.
SECTION 10.Change in Circumstances.
Section 10.1.Change of Law.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any SOFR Rate Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby related to SOFR Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Borrower and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain SOFR Rate Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain SOFR Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall promptly prepay the outstanding principal amount of any such affected SOFR Rate Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement or, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, convert such affected SOFR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (unless the affected SOFR Rate Loans are converted into Base Rate Loans), the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected SOFR Rate Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.
Section 10.2.Temporary Inability to Determine Rates; Alternate Rate of Interest.  If (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR cannot be determined

-75-


pursuant to the definition thereof or (B) the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, in each case of (A) and (B) with respect to a Term SOFR Rate Loan, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue the applicable SOFR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice and (ii) if such determination affects the calculation of the Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any applicable SOFR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Rate Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Rate Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in respect of Term SOFR Rate Loans, or immediately in respect of Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans.  Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 1.11.   If the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke any such determination promptly upon the circumstances leading to such determination ceasing to exist.

Section 10.3.Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a)Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)subject any Lender (or its Lending Office) to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(ii)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its SOFR Rate Loans, it Notes or its obligations to make SOFR Rate Loans;

-76-


and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 10.4.Lending Offices.  Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its SOFR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Section 10.3 hereof or to avoid the unavailability of SOFR Rate Loans under Section 10.2 hereof, so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.
Section 10.5.Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all

-77-


or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Term SOFR Rate Loans shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Term SOFR Rate Loan through the purchase of deposits in the applicable interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to Term SOFR for any applicable Interest Period.

Section 10.6.Permanent Inability to Determine Rate; Benchmark Replacement.  
(a)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. No replacement of the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 10.6 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 10.6, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 10.6.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is

-78-


not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for the applicable SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Base Rate based upon Adjusted Term SOFR (or then-current Benchmark) will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
SECTION 11.The Administrative Agent.
Section 11.1.Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints KeyBank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
Section 11.2.Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business

-79-


with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 11.3.Action by Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties:
(i)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; and
(iii)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby  (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 12.13), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  Any such action taken or failure to act pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

-80-


(c)Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.4.Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or Guarantors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 11.5.Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loans as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 11.6.Resignation of Administrative Agent; Removal of Administrative Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent from its capacity as Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in

-81-


the United States of America.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or after removal by the Required Lenders (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  If on the Resignation Effective Date no successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the Administrative Agent’s rights in the Collateral Documents shall be assigned without representation, recourse or warranty to the Lenders as their interests may appear.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12.15 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 11.7.Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.  Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans  and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower, or for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument such as a security (and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities

-82-


laws), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any documentation agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.  

Upon a Lender’s written request, the Administrative Agent agrees to forward to such Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, examination, or appraisal report prepared by or for the Administrative Agent with respect to the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or the Collateral (herein, “Reports”).  Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrower and the other Material Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon the books and records of the Borrower and the other Material Subsidiaries, as well as on representations of personnel of the Borrower and the other Material Subsidiaries, and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

Section 11.8.Reserved.  
Section 11.9.Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability.  By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 12.10, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender (including any Hedging Counterparty) with whom the Borrower or any other Material Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Guaranties as more fully set forth in Section 3.1.  In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, or any request for the release of the Guaranties and the Administrative Agent’s Liens in connection with the termination of the Commitments, and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging

-83-


Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability unless such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution or payment or release of Guaranties and Liens.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each such Affiliate shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of Section 3.1(c) and (ii) no such Affiliate shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.9 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender or Affiliate.  For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Section 11.9 to any Lender or Affiliate of a Lender shall include or be deemed to include each Hedging Counterparty, even if such Hedging Counterparty or any Person affiliated with such Hedging Counterparty shall cease to be a Lender hereunder, such that any such Hedging Counterparty shall continue to be entitled to all of the rights and benefits otherwise afforded to such Hedging Counterparty hereunder (including without limitation the Guaranties provided under Section 13).

Section 11.10.Designation of Additional Agents.  The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate, with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers,” “sustainability structuring agents,” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.
Section 11.11.[Intentionally Omitted].
Section 11.12.Authorization to Release Guaranties.  The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders and their Affiliates to release any Material Subsidiary from its obligations as a Guarantor if such Person ceases to be a Material Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.  Upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Material Subsidiary from its obligations as a Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
Section 11.13.Authorization of Administrative Agent to File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and

-84-


to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, Sections 1.2, 10.3, 1.11, and 12.15) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.1 and 12.15.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 12.Miscellaneous.
Section 12.1.Withholding Taxes.  (a) Payments Free of Withholding.  Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 12.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future Indemnified Taxes.  If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made.
(b)U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions.  Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date the initial Borrowing is made hereunder or, if later, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender hereunder, two duly completed and signed copies of (i) either Form W-8 BEN-E (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or (ii) solely if such Lender is

-85-


claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8 BEN-E, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten (10)-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).  Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) and such other certificates as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to such Lender and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Obligations.  Upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a certificate to the effect that it is such a United States person.
(c)Inability of Lender to Submit Forms.  If any Lender determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.1 or that such Lender is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.
(d)Compliance with FATCA.  If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or Guarantor has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s

-86-


failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).
(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 12.1, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to promptly repay the amount paid over with respect to such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority.  Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or any other confidential information or require any Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(g)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Section 12.2.No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, or any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.
Section 12.3.Non-Business Days.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next

-87-


succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable.  In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

Section 12.4.Documentary Taxes.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand any U.S. documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.
Section 12.5.Survival of Representations.  All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.
Section 12.6.Survival of Indemnities.  All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.11, 10.3, and 12.15 hereof, shall (subject to Section 10.3(c) hereof) survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 12.7.Sharing of Set-Off.  Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise, on any of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest.
Section 12.8.Notices.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or telecopier number set forth below, or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.  Notices under the Loan Documents to any Lender shall be addressed to its address or telecopier number set forth on its Administrative Questionnaire; and notices under the Loan Documents to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be addressed to its respective address or telecopier number set forth below:

Section 12.9.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  The words “execution”, “executed”, “signed”, “signature” and words of similar import in or related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by Administrative Agent for the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National

-89-


Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other similar applicable state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 12.10.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, and the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any subsequent holder of any of the Obligations.  The Borrower and the Guarantors may not assign any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of all of the Lenders.
Section 12.11.Participants.  Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and/or Commitments held by such Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more other Persons; provided that no such participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further that no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 12.11, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant.  Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is granted shall provide that the granting Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest.  Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 1.11 and Section 10.3 hereof.  The Borrower and each Guarantor authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section 12.11 any financial or other information pertaining to each Guarantor, the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that prior to any such disclosure any such participant or prospective participant shall agree in writing to be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein.  No participation may be granted or sold to the Borrower, any Guarantor, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the  Borrower or Guarantor, any Defaulting Lender or any natural person.
Section 12.12.Assignments.  
(a)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.  (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 12.12, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the

-90-


Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii)Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Facility; except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.12(a)(i)(B) and, in addition:
(A)the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be given or denied within five (5) Business Days of written request therefor) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(B)the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be given or denied within five (5) Business Days of written request therefor) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with 2029 Term Loans or Incremental Loans (if any), an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv)Assignment and Acceptance.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)No Assignment to the Borrower, Guarantors, Affiliates or Subsidiaries.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor.
(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).
(vii)No Assignment to Defaulting Lender.  No such assignment shall be made to a Defaulting Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.12(b) hereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in

-91-


the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.6 and 12.15 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.11 hereof.

(b)Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Each Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the Loans and/or commitments or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any Loans and/or Commitments or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation or Commitment is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations or is otherwise required by this Agreement. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(c)Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.12 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 12.13.Amendments.  Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or Sustainability Structuring Agent, as applicable; provided that:

-92-


(i)no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder (including by way of a waiver of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(a)) without the consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan hereunder provided that only the written consent of the Required Lenders shall be required for (x) the waiver or retraction of an imposition of interest payable under Section 1.9, or (y) any modification or waiver of the covenants set forth in Section 8.20, or (C) extend the Maturity Date for the 2029 Term Loans or any Incremental Loan without the consent of each affected 2029 Term Loan Lender or Incremental Lender, as applicable;
(ii)no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.13 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the definitions of Required Lenders, Borrowing Base, Borrowing Base NOI, Borrowing Base Requirements, Borrowing Base Value, change the provisions of Section 8.21, change the provisions of this Section 12.13, affect the number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, change the pro rata application of payments or order of application of payments and collections set forth in Section 3.1 or Section 12.7 or change any other provision of this Agreement or add any provision to this Agreement, in each case, in a manner that would alter, or would have the effect of altering the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or release any Guarantor or in the event that a Collateral Trigger Event has occurred, a release or subordination of all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement); and
(iii)no amendment to Section 13 hereof shall be made without the consent of the Guarantors affected thereby.
Section 12.14.Headings.  Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
Section 12.15.Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, and administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, in connection with the preparation and execution of the Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and each Lender all costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any such holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder or in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any Guarantor as a debtor thereunder).  The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and any security trustee therefor, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, financial advisors, and consultants (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)

-93-


against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee and all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan, other than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification.  The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse the Administrative Agent such Lender for any reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except to the extent the same is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  The obligations of the parties under this Section 12.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)The Borrower unconditionally agrees to forever indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution against, each Indemnitee for any damages, costs, loss or expense, including without limitation, response, remedial or removal costs and all fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee, arising out of any of the following:  (i) any presence, release, threatened release or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substance or petroleum by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (ii) the operation or violation of any environmental law, whether federal, state, or local, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (iii) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), and (iv) the inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation, warranty or covenant by the Borrower or any Subsidiary made herein or in any other Loan Document evidencing or securing any Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto, except for damages arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the relevant Indemnitee.  This indemnification shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement for a period of five (5) years, and shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim under this indemnification.  This indemnification shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of each Indemnitee and its successors and assigns.
Section 12.16.Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each subsequent holder of any Obligation, and each of their respective affiliates, is

-94-


hereby authorized by the Borrower and each Guarantor at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and in whatever currency denominated, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender, subsequent holder, or affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Guarantor, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations then due of the Borrower or such Guarantor to that Lender, or subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender, or subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder.

Section 12.17.Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.
Section 12.18.Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified therein), and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
Section 12.19.Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.
Section 12.20.Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”).  If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section 12.20 shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the

-95-


Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of the Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

Section 12.21.Construction.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only apply during such times as the Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries.
Section 12.22.Lender’s Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.  Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.
Section 12.23.Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in the City of New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  The Borrower and each Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Borrower, each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 12.24.USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section 12.25.Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, severally agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed in compliance with applicable law (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the extent any such Person has a need to know such Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by

-96-


any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law, the party requested to disclose any information will provide prompt written notice of such request to the Borrower, will allow the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to seek appropriate protective measures prior to disclosure and will disclose the minimum amount of information required to comply with such applicable law, regulation, subpoena or legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) to the extent reasonably necessary after consultation with counsel, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, provided that, to the extent reasonably practicable, the party requested to disclose any such information will provide prompt written notice of such request to the Borrower and will allow the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to seek appropriate protective measures prior to such disclosure, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.25, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.25 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors; provided that the Administrative Agent, any Lender may use such Information as permitted by clause (a) above, but the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall not otherwise disclose such Information except as permitted by clauses (b) - (g), (i), (j) or (k) of this Section 12.25, (i) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans or the Commitments hereunder, (j) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications (such information to consist of deal terms and other information regarding the credit facilities evidenced by this Agreement customarily found in such publications), or (k) to entities which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market, provided that only basic information about the pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this subsection (j).  For purposes of this Section 12.25, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders specifically acknowledges that the common stock of the Borrower is traded on the NYSE American Exchange under the trading symbol “CTO.”  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders further expressly acknowledges that it is aware that the securities laws of the United States prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material, non-public information, including information concerning the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person.

-97-


Section 12.26.Limitation of Recourse.  There shall be full recourse to the Borrower and the Guarantors and all of their assets and properties for the Obligations and any other liability under the Loan Documents. Subject to clauses (i) and (ii) of the following sentence, in no event shall any officer or director of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries be personally liable or obligated for the Obligations or any other liability under the Loan Documents.  Nothing herein contained shall limit or be construed to (i) release any such officer or director from liability for his or her fraudulent actions, misappropriation of funds or willful misconduct or (ii) limit or impair the exercise of remedies with respect to the Borrower and the Guarantors under the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section 12.26 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.27.Other Taxes.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any Other Taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.
Section 12.28.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
Section 12.29.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in

-98-


respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  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.
(b)As used in this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);
(ii)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
(iii)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

Default Rights” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

-99-


Section 12.30.Erroneous Payment.
(a)If Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 12.30(b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 12.30(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.30(a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment,

-100-


prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.30(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.30(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 12.30(b) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to Administrative Agent under Section 12.30(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 12.30, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.30(a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-101-


(ii)Subject to this Section 12.30, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, to the rights and interests of such Lender) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower; provided that this Section 12.30 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.30 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof).

-102-


SECTION 13.The Guarantees.
Section 13.1.The Guarantees.  To induce the Lenders to provide the credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrower by reason of the Loans and Commitments and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Material Subsidiary party hereto (including any Material Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Closing Date executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Hedging Counterparty (even if such Hedging Counterparty or any Person affiliated with such Hedging Counterparty shall cease to be a Lender hereunder), the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations, including, but not limited to, the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans, Hedging Liability, Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, would otherwise accrue on any such indebtedness, obligation, or liability).  In case of failure by the Borrower or other obligor punctually to pay any obligations guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower or such obligor.
Section 13.2.Guarantee Unconditional.  The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by:
(a)any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise;
(b)any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(c)any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document;
(d)the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;
(e)any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights or remedies against the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or Property;

-103-


(f)any application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of the Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid;
(g)any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents; or
(h)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 13.
Section 13.3.Discharge Only upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.  Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments are terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents have been paid in full.  If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 13 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time.
Section 13.4.Subrogation.  Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the obligations guaranteed hereby shall have been paid in full subsequent to the termination of all the Commitments.  If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations, Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability and Hedging Liability and all other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder and the other Loan Documents and (y) the termination of the Commitments, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their Affiliates) and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and their Affiliates) or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability and Hedging Liability, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 13.5.Waivers.  Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice except as specifically provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person against the Borrower or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person.
Section 13.6.Limit on Recovery.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Section 13 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the

-104-


lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 13 void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law.

Section 13.7.Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders.
Section 13.8.Benefit to Guarantors.  The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrower has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor.  Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit hereunder.
Section 13.9.Guarantor Covenants.  Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.
Section 13.10.Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until discharged in accordance with Section 13.3.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of October 22, 2024, is entered into by and between CTO REALTY GROWTH, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and LISA M. VORAKOUN (the “Executive”).

a.General.  The Executive agrees to render the services specified in this Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  All compensation paid to the Executive by the Company, and all benefits and perquisites received by the Executive from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, will be aggregated in determining whether the Executive has received the compensation and benefits provided for herein.

b.Duration.  This Agreement is effective on the date it is fully executed and will remain in effect through the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement (whether terminated by the Executive, the Company, or the written agreement of the parties hereto) (such period of employment, the “Employment Period”).

2.Duties.

a.General Duties.  The Executive shall continue to serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company and of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“Alpine,” and collectively with the Company and each of their respective subsidiaries, the “Company Group”), with duties and responsibilities that are customary for such positions as directed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and other duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to the Executive from time to time by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company subject to approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  To the extent the Board has authorized the Compensation Committee of

the Board (the “Committee”) to act on its behalf, references to the Board herein will also be deemed to include the Committee.

b.

Full-Time Employment.  The Executive agrees to devote her full time and best efforts to the successful functioning of the Company and agrees that she will faithfully and industriously perform all the duties pertaining to her office and position as Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company and of Alpine in accordance with the policies established by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from time to time, to the best of her ability, experience and talent and in a manner satisfactory to the Company.  Further, the Executive shall devote her full business time and energy to the business, affairs and interests of the Company Group, and matters related thereto.  It is understood that the principal location of the Executive’s employment with the Company will be at the Company’s offices in Daytona Beach, Florida.  During the Employment Period, the Executive agrees to maintain her primary residence within a seventy-five (75) mile radius of Daytona Beach, Florida, or Winter Park, Florida, so long as the Company maintains offices in such locations.

c.

Certain Permissible Activities. The Executive may also make and manage personal business investments of her choice and serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or charitable organization, or any governmental entity or trade association, without seeking or obtaining approval by the Company so long as such activities and service do not interfere or conflict with the performance of her duties under this Agreement or otherwise constitute a breach of Section 7.  The Executive acknowledges that she shall be subject to, and comply with, the policies, standards and regulations established from time to time by the Company, including the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (including the provisions with respect to corporate opportunities).

3.Compensation and Expenses.

a.Base Salary. The Executive will be paid a base salary at an annualized rate of $275,000 (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices as in effect from time to time and applicable wage payment laws.

current Base Salary, with “threshold”, “target” and “maximum” Multipliers (as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan) for 2024 of 50%, 100% and 200% of the Individual Target Opportunity (as defined in the Annual Incentive Plan), all as set forth under the Annual Incentive Plan.  The annual incentive compensation payable to the Executive will be determined by the Board, based on the attainment of corporate and individual performance goals as determined by the Board and consistent with the terms and conditions of the Annual Incentive Plan, and may be paid in cash or in a combination of cash and equity incentive awards.

d.Equity Awards.  During her employment with the Company, the Executive has received certain equity awards under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, which existing equity awards are more fully described on Schedule A attached hereto.  In addition, for each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the Executive will be eligible to receive an award of long-term equity incentive compensation, to be granted in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation program in effect from time to time.  Such awards typically will be granted near the commencement of each fiscal year under the Company’s equity incentive plan in effect from time to time pursuant to separate written agreements between the Executive and the Company (each such award agreement, including any existing award agreement listed on Schedule A, being an “LTIP Award Agreement”).

e.Expenses.  The Company will reimburse, or advance funds to, the Executive for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary travel or entertainment expenses incurred by the Executive in the course of the performance of her duties as an executive officer of the Company during the term of her employment in accordance with the Company’s then-current expense reimbursement policy applicable to senior executives of the Company (the “Expense Reimbursements”).  The Executive acknowledges that such expenses will not include the expense incurred for the Executive’s daily commute to and from the Company’s corporate offices.

f.Clawback.   This Agreement is subject to any written clawback policies that the Company or Alpine has adopted or may adopt to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.  Any such policy may subject the Executive’s compensation and amounts paid or realized under this Agreement and any other compensation (whether or not such other compensation is “incentive-based compensation” as defined in such policy) to which the Executive is owed or entitled to outside of this Agreement, to reduction, cancelation, forfeiture or recoupment if certain specified events or wrongful conduct occur, including but not limited to an accounting restatement due to the Company’s or Alpine’s material noncompliance with financial reporting regulations or other events or wrongful conduct specified in any such clawback policy adopted by the Company or Alpine, including any policy to conform to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and rules promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that the Company or Alpine determines should apply to this Agreement and all such applicable compensation.

4.Benefits.

b.Vacation.  The Executive shall be entitled to twenty (20) days per calendar year of paid vacation; provided, that (i) any unused vacation days shall be forfeited at the end of each year if not fully utilized in that year, and (ii) the Company shall not pay the Executive for any accrued but unused vacation days upon any termination of employment.

c.Indemnification.  The Company shall, at all times during which the Executive may be subject to liability for her acts and omissions to act occurring while serving as an officer, indemnify the Executive and hold her harmless (including advances of attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the maximum extent permitted under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws and applicable law.  The Executive shall be covered as an insured under any contract of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures members of the Board.  This Section 4.c shall survive a termination of the Executive’s employment and any termination of this Agreement.

5.Termination.

a.Termination for Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Agreement at any time for Cause and the termination will become effective immediately at the time the Company provides written notice to the Executive.  If the Company decides to terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause, the Company will have no further obligations to make any payments to the Executive under this Agreement, except that the Executive will receive any unpaid accrued Base Salary, Expense Reimbursements, and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement through the date of termination of employment.  Upon termination for Cause, the Executive will not be entitled to receive any future annual bonus payments or any amount or any consideration or benefit payable under the Annual Incentive Plan, any equity incentive plan, or any LTIP Award Agreement (notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained therein) other than those becoming due and payable prior to the termination date.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” will mean:

16

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption.  Any nonqualified deferred compensation payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral will be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible.  No

expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, during any calendar year shall affect the amounts eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, to the extent subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and no such right to reimbursement or right to in-kind benefits shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment in a series of installment payments provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment.  Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code or any exemption therefrom, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Executive on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(i)

Specified Employees.

(ii)

Reimbursements. To the extent required by Section 409A, each reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Agreement will be provided in accordance with the following:

(A)The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during each fiscal year of the Company cannot affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other fiscal year;

(B)Any reimbursement of an eligible expense will be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the expense was incurred; and

-6-


the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

(D)Prohibited Period” shall mean the period during which Executive is employed by any member of the Company Group and continuing for a period of twelve months following the date that Executive is no longer employed by any member of the Company Group.
c.Injunctive Relief. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 13, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the members of the Company Group for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each other member of the Company Group shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money

-7-


damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security.  The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each other member of the Company Group at law and equity.

3.Section 12 of the Employment Agreement shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.
