This Increase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 13, 2015 (the “Increase Effective Date”), is by and among NSA OP, LP and certain of its Subsidiaries party to the Credit Agreement referred to below (collectively, the “Borrowers”), NATIONAL STORAGE AFFILIATES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “REIT”), NATIONAL STORAGE AFFILIATES HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “REIT Parent” and, together with the REIT, collectively, the “Guarantors”), the lender parties signatory hereto (each, an “Expansion Lender” and collectively the “Expansion Lenders”) and KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders (as hereinafter defined). All capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), is by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the financial institutions which are or become a party thereto as lenders (each a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”);
WHEREAS, Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement provides that the Borrowers may request, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.16(b) (the “Increase Conditions”), that the Revolving Commitments and/or term loans made under the Credit Agreement be increased by an aggregate amount of up to $332,500,000;
WHEREAS, on July 21, 2014, the Borrowers requested and the Lenders agreed to an increase in the Revolving Commitments and term loans made under the Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount equal to $57,500,000, with such Increase being allocated $37,942,176.86 to the Revolving Commitments and $19,557,823.14 to the Term Loan, so that after giving effect to the Increase, the aggregate Revolving Commitments equaled $280,442,176.87 and the aggregate Term Loan equaled $144,557,823.13;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Revolving Commitments and term loans made under the Credit Agreement be further increased by an aggregate amount equal to $125,000,000.00 (the “Increase”), with such Increase being allocated $69,557,823.13 to the Revolving Commitments and $55,442,176.87 to the Term Loan, so that after giving effect to the Increase, the aggregate Revolving Commitments will equal $350,000,000.00 and the aggregate Term Loan will equal $200,000,000.00. The increase to the Term Loan will constitute an Incremental Term Loan under the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, each Expansion Lender has agreed to fund that portion of the Increase in the amounts and types of Loans set forth beside such Expansion Lender’s name on Annex 1 attached hereto.
WHEREAS, an updated Schedule 2, after giving effect to the Increase, is attached hereto as Annex 2; and
1
WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent is willing to give effect to the Increase provided that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Expansion Lenders enter into this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Funding of Increase. Pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, each Expansion Lender hereby agrees to fund, and make one or more loans in immediately available funds to the Borrowers on the Increase Effective Date in each case in an aggregate principal amount equal to that portion of the Increase in the applicable type of Loan in the amount set forth beside such Expansion Lender’s name on Annex 1 attached hereto (less the amount of Revolving Commitments and Term Loan being reallocated to such Expansion Lender on the date hereof, as applicable), with each Lender (including each Expansion Lender) having the resulting Revolving Commitment Amount, Revolving Commitment Percentage, Term Loan Commitment Amount (it being acknowledged that each Term Loan Commitment terminates upon the funding of the applicable Term Loan) and Term Loan Percentage set forth on the new Schedule 1.1 attached as Annex 2 hereto. Each Expansion Lender will enter into an Augmenting Lender Agreement in substantially the form attached to the Credit Agreement as Exhibit K in connection with the Increase (each an “Augmenting Lender Agreement”).
2. Amendment of Schedule 1.1. Schedule 1.1 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to reflect the Lenders’ adjusted commitments and the increase in the Revolving Commitments and the Term Loan, as set forth on Annex 2 attached hereto, after giving effect to the Increase and to certain reallocations of the Term Loan and Revolving Commitments.
3. Affirmation and Acknowledgment. Subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrowers hereby ratify and confirm all of their Obligations to the Lenders, including, without limitation, the Loans, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers hereby affirm their absolute and unconditional promise to pay to the Lenders all Obligations under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement, both before and after giving effect to this Agreement.
