(1)
“Annualized Base Rent” or “ABR” means in-place monthly contractual base rent excluding rent abatements under leases as of November 4, 2024, multiplied by 12 months. For leases that have a rent abatement period in effect as of November 4, 2024, the Company used the monthly contractual base rent payable following expiration of the abatement period.
 

(2)
“Investment grade” means an investment grade credit rating from a NRSRO approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (e.g., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings Inc.) or a non-NRSRO credit rating (e.g., Bloomberg’s default risk rating) that management believes is generally equivalent to an NRSRO investment grade rating; management can provide no assurance as to the comparability of these ratings methodologies or that any particular rating for a company is indicative of the rating that a single NRSRO would provide in the event that it rated all companies for which the Company provides credit ratings; to the extent such companies are rated only by non-NRSRO ratings providers, such ratings providers may use methodologies that are different and less rigorous than those applied by NRSROs. In the context of the Company’s portfolio, references to “investment grade” include, and credit ratings provided by the Company may refer to, tenants, guarantors, and non-guarantor parent entities. There can be no assurance that such guarantors or parent entities will satisfy the tenant’s lease obligations, and accordingly, any such credit rating may not be indicative of the creditworthiness of the Company's tenants.
 

The percentage of Annualized Base Rent as of November 4, 2024 for the operating Properties, by market, based on the respective in-place leases, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(a)          Rent and Income. All collected rent and other income collected under Leases in effect on the Closing Date (including without limit applicable state or local tax on rent, prepaid rent, tenant reimbursements for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses (as defined below), additional rent and percentage rent) (collectively, “Collected Rent”) shall be prorated as of the Closing. Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any Collected Rent collected by Seller before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing.  Schedule 6.1(a) attached hereto is a schedule of all uncollected rent and other uncollected income under Leases in effect on the Closing Date (including without limit applicable state or local tax on rent, prepaid rent, tenant reimbursements for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, additional rent and percentage rent) for the period prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Uncollected Rent”). Buyer covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing in the usual course of operation of the Property to send notices to such tenants regarding all Pre-Closing Uncollected Rent until July 21, 2025; provided, however, Buyer shall have no obligation to incur any costs in connection with such efforts, nor shall Buyer have any obligation to commence proceedings against, or threaten the occupancy of, any tenant under any the Lease in connection with Buyer’s efforts to collect Pre-Closing Uncollected Rent. From and after the Closing, Seller may not institute or prosecute any action, lawsuit, proceeding or other collection effort against any existing tenants under Leases; provided, however, the foregoing limitation shall not impair Seller’s ability to pursue any such collection efforts against former tenants whose leases have expired or terminated prior to the Closing and who are not then leasing another location at a Property. All rent and other income under Leases received by Buyer following the Closing shall be applied (i) first, to Buyer’s reasonable costs of collection of such rent and other income (including reasonable attorneys’ fees); (ii) second, to rent and other income due for the month in which such payment is received by Buyer; (iii) third, to rent and other income attributable to any period after Closing which are past due on the date of receipt; (iv) fourth, to rent and other income due for the month in which Closing occurs and prorated in accordance with the terms of this subparagraph, with the portion allocable to Seller being paid by Buyer to Seller; and (v) finally, to delinquent rent and other income allocable to Seller in the form of a payment by Buyer to Seller.

(b)            Reimbursable Tenant Expenses. A Seller, as landlord under the applicable Leases, may be currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover ad valorem taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Reimbursable Tenant Expenses”) incurred by such Seller in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, and management of the applicable Property. Tenant reconciliation statements for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for calendar year 2023 (“2023 CAM Rec”) have been sent to tenants and all reconciliations thereunder have been completed prior to Closing (subject to any ongoing audits by a tenant and/or pending property tax appeals).  Buyer agrees to prepare tenant reconciliation statements for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for calendar year 2024 by March 31, 2025, and each applicable Seller agrees to furnish to Buyer by February 1, 2025 all information and documentation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s preparation of the same. After Buyer has completed its preparation of the tenant reconciliation statements for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for calendar year 2024, Buyer shall deliver such reconciliation statements to the applicable Seller for such Seller’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and following receipt of such Seller’s approval, Buyer shall transmit to tenants and bill the tenants for any amounts due under such reconciliation statements (with copies delivered to the applicable Seller) on or prior to the date such reconciliations are due under the applicable Lease(s).  All Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for calendar year 2024 (and any amounts arising under the 2023 CAM Rec or any prior reconciliation of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, to the extent not completed, and/or amounts due and payable with respect thereto having not been paid, prior to Closing) shall be apportioned between the applicable Seller and Buyer based on the amounts so collected by them and the amounts so paid or incurred by them during their respective periods of ownership (including amounts prorated hereunder).  If any such reconciliation statements show that the amounts collected by a Seller prior to the Closing Date exceed that Seller’s allocable share of such Reimbursable Tenant Expenses, then that Seller shall pay such amounts to Buyer within fifteen (15) days after all reconciliation statements are approved by Buyer and Seller for prompt payment to the tenants. If such reconciliation statements show an applicable Seller is owed any such Reimbursable Tenant Expenses from a tenant under a Lease, then Buyer shall pay such amounts to that Seller within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof by Buyer from the applicable tenant. Seller shall be and remain responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all amounts owed to any tenant under a Lease for any overpayments of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses made prior to the Closing by such tenant and discovered pursuant to an audit right under a tenant’s Lease, and Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer from and against all such claims (“Tenant Audits”). Without limitation to the foregoing, if and to the extent any amounts are determined, prior to Closing, to be due and payable to Tenants for Tenant Reimbursable Expenses, but have not been paid at Closing (“Delinquent Reimbursements”), then Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of any such Delinquent Reimbursements, and Buyer shall promptly pay the same to the applicable Tenant(s).
 
12

(c)             Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by governmental authority shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  At Closing, Buyer shall be credited with the amount of unpaid taxes for the current tax year in the jurisdiction where the Property is located and with respect to the period prior to the Closing, with respect to those Properties identified on and as set forth on Schedule 6.1(c).  If and to the extent a Tenant pays such taxes either directly to the taxing authority, or pursuant to a reimbursement requirement under its Lease, then Buyer shall pay to Seller within 30 days after receipt such reimbursement or evidence of payment, the amount so credited with respect thereto to Buyer at Closing.  Notwithstanding anything seemingly to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall be solely responsible for and shall assume any and all similar taxes or assessments applicable to the Property as a result of the change in ownership resulting from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of when assessed, any and all ad valorem taxes relating to a subsequent change in usage or ownership of the Property (including any rollback taxes) by Buyer after the Closing, whether by reason of this conveyance or otherwise.
 
(d)             Property Tax Appeals. Certain Sellers have filed appeals to certain tax bills identified on Schedule 6.1(d) (each, a “Pending Tax Appeal”) with the applicable taxing authorities described therein (each, a “Taxing Authority”). In the event any Seller receives a tax refund as a result thereof after the Closing for any period prior to the Closing, Seller shall (i) pay Seller’s actual, out of pocket and reasonable costs and expenses of the applicable appeal from such refund, (ii) retain the portion (if any) of such refund which is attributable to any period prior to the Closing and is not reimbursable to tenants of the applicable Real Property, and (iii) promptly remit the balance of such refund which is reimbursable to tenants of the applicable Real Property to Buyer and Buyer shall thereafter be and remain responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to reimburse tenants of the applicable Real Property for their share of the refund (net of the amounts set forth above) (“Savings”) for the period of such Seller’s ownership of such Real Property for the applicable tax year, and the balance (if any) shall be prorated between such Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date in the same manner set forth above. In the event any Buyer receives a tax refund after the Closing arising out of any appeal filed by any Seller for any period prior to the Closing, Buyer shall (i) promptly remit to Seller an amount equal to Seller’s actual, out of pocket and reasonable costs and expenses of the applicable appeal from such refund plus the portion (if any) of such refund which is attributable to any period prior to the Closing and is not reimbursable to tenants of the applicable Real Property, and (ii) thereafter be and remain responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to reimburse tenants of the applicable Real Property for their share of the balance of such Savings for the period of such Seller’s ownership of such Real Property for the applicable tax year, and the balance (if any) shall be prorated between such Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date in the same manner set forth above. In the event Buyer elects, after Closing, to file an appeal with any Taxing Authority for the year in which Closing occurs or any other period prior to Closing and Buyer receives a tax refund as a result thereof after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to reimburse tenants of the applicable Real Property for their share of the Savings for the applicable tax year, and the balance (net of Buyer’s actual, out of pocket and reasonable cost and expenses of the appeal) shall be prorated between such Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date in the same manner set forth above. In the event a final determination with respect to any Pending Tax Appeal results in an amount due to the Taxing Authority for any period preceding the Closing, and if such amount may not be passed through to tenants pursuant to their leases, then Seller shall be liable for and shall pay the same prior to delinquency.  In the event any Taxing Authority increases the taxes on any applicable Real Property for the tax year in which Closing occurs, then to the extent such increased taxes may not be passed through to tenants of such Real Property, the same shall be prorated between the applicable Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date in the same manner set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not submit, file, prosecute or settle any tax appeals, protests or similar for the tax year in which the Closing occurs (or any year thereafter) without Buyer’s written consent, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, provided that Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be permitted to prosecute to completion the Pending Tax Appeals identified on Schedule 6.1(d).
 
13

(e)             Utilities. To the extent not paid by tenants under Leases, Seller shall arrange for a billing for utilities, to include all utilities or services used up to the day Closing occurs, and Seller shall pay (and shall be and remain solely responsible for) the resultant bills.
 
(f)             Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at Closing for any item being prorated under this Section 6 (other than 6.2(b) and 6.2(c)) or if any of the aforesaid prorations were calculated inaccurately, then Buyer and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing Date but in no event later than December 1, 2025. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of the notice.  Following the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, the other’s books to confirm the final prorations. Except as set forth above, Seller shall not be charged for any increase in Reimbursable Tenant Expenses or real estate taxes due to increased costs or reassessments incurred by Buyer after the Closing to the extent the same are triggered by the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
 
6.2          Tenant Improvement Costs, Lease Termination Payments, and Other Post-Closing Items.
 
(a)             At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit for all unpaid tenant improvement expenses (including all hard and soft construction costs, whether payable to the contractor or the tenant),  unapplied free rent and rent abatement, tenant allowances, moving expenses, other leasing inducements and other out-of-pocket costs which are the obligation of the landlord for the current term of any Leases that were in place on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Existing Leases”) in the amount set forth on Schedule 6.2(a) attached hereto (collectively, the “Existing TI Obligations”), and Buyer shall assume in writing at Closing the Existing TI Obligations (but only to the extent of the credit received from Seller for the same at Closing.

If, following the establishment of the Post-Survival Escrow, the actual costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in excess of the credit from Seller to complete any remaining Post-Closing Work are less than the amount of the Post-Survival Escrow, then any remaining funds in the Post-Survival Escrow upon completion of the remaining Post-Closing Work shall be released and disbursed to Seller.  The provisions of this Section 6.2(c) and other normal and customary terms and conditions for a post-closing escrow for environmental, construction or similar work shall be incorporated into the Post-Closing Holdback Agreement.

(b)           On the date of Closing, if applicable, Seller shall have delivered into Escrow (with instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver to the issuing bank) executed transfer forms required by the issuing bank of any security deposits which are held in the form of letters of credit (the “SD Letters of Credit”) if the same are transferable.  If any of the SD Letters of Credit are not transferable, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the tenants obligated under such SD Letters of Credit to cause new letters of credit to be issued in favor of Buyer in replacement thereof at no cost to Buyer and, until such transfer or issuance, Seller shall take all reasonable actions, as directed by Buyer and at Buyer’s expense, in connection with the presentment of such SD Letters of Credit for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable tenant Lease.
 
(c)           BUYER WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD SELLER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL DEMANDS AND CLAIMS MADE BY TENANTS ARISING OUT OF THE APPLICATION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY SECURITY DEPOSITS OR DRAW ON THE SD LETTERS OF CREDIT WHICH ARE MADE AFTER THE CLOSING AND, IF APPLICABLE, AFTER THE TRANSFER OF THE SD LETTERS OF CREDIT TO BUYER, AND WILL REIMBURSE SELLER FOR ALL REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES ACTUALLY INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS AS WELL AS FOR ALL LOSSES, EXPENSES, VERDICTS, JUDGMENTS, SETTLEMENTS, INTERESTS, COSTS AND OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS BY TENANTS.

The 3-14 Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), and the requirements of 17 CFR 210.3-14. Each of the 3-14 Statements (A) have been prepared from the books and records of the Seller in all material respects and (B)  fairly represents, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses related to the operations of the Properties for the periods specified, subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments as permitted by GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (but only if the effect of such adjustments would not, individually or in the aggregate, be material).
 
(r)          No Contracts. Other than those that are to be expressly assumed by Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, and matters of record, no Seller has executed or otherwise entered into any agreements that will be binding on Buyer or any Property following the Closing.  Seller has not received written notice of, and to Seller’s knowledge, neither Seller, nor the counterparty to any such agreement, is in material default thereunder.
 
(s)           Everett Leases. Seller did not consent to any sublease or any other occupancy arrangement at the Property located at 3812 28th Place NE, Everett Washington, except as set forth on Schedule 1.2(c) attached hereto.
 
“Seller’s knowledge” as used in this Agreement means the current actual knowledge of Leo Addimando, Matt Pfeiffer and Mark Gannon (collectively, “Seller’s Knowledge Representatives”), without any duty of inquiry or investigation and without personal liability whatsoever. Seller hereby represents that Seller’s Knowledge Representatives are the representatives of Seller primarily responsible for Seller’s ownership and management of the Property and, as such, are the persons most likely to know whether and to what extent the representations set forth hereinabove are true, complete and correct.
 
Except as otherwise set forth herein, Seller’s representations and warranties in Sections 7.1(b)-(e) and 7.1(g)-(s) (collectively, the “Property Representations”) are qualified by the actual knowledge obtained by any officer of Buyer (including in any tenant estoppel certificates received by Buyer) prior to Closing, and in the event Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof notwithstanding such knowledge, then Seller’s applicable representation or warranty shall be deemed to be modified to reflect such qualification and Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the same, and the Property Representations will automatically be made subject thereto without any adjustment to the Purchase Price. Prior to Closing, Seller may further qualify the Property Representations by written notice delivered to Buyer (a “Changed Representation Notice”) before the Closing Date, specifying with reasonable particularity the facts and circumstances known to Seller that make the applicable Property Representation false, misleading or inaccurate. If Seller delivers a Changed Representation Notice to Buyer, or if Buyer obtains actual knowledge of any facts or circumstances that makes any Property Representation false, misleading or inaccurate in any material respect (herein collectively referred to as “Exception Matters”), then Buyer, as its sole remedy, may terminate this Agreement in its entirety within three (3) business days after receipt of the Changed Representation Notice or after obtaining actual knowledge of such Exception Matters, receive a refund of the Earnest Money, and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights and obligations under this Agreement except as provided in Sections 2.2 and 10.2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Exception Matters within thirty (30) days after notice of Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement (and the Closing shall be delayed to the extent necessary to allow Seller the entire 30-day period within which to effect such cure) and if Seller cures such Exception Matters to Buyer’s satisfaction, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, then Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement as a result of such Exception Matters shall be null and void and this Agreement shall continue to Closing without termination (and, if the Closing Date is extended, Closing shall occur on the date that is five (5) business days after Seller so cures such Exception Matters).
 
19

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if, prior to the Closing, Buyer has actual knowledge of any breach of any Property Representations contained in this Agreement or any other representations and warranties contained in any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith (a “Buyer-Waived Breach”) and Buyer nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Buyer-Waived Breach, Seller shall have no liability or obligation respecting such Buyer-Waived Breach, Buyer shall have no cause of action following the Closing with respect thereto, and Buyer shall be estopped and forever barred from asserting any claim or bringing any action or proceeding with respect to such Buyer-Waived Breach. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing.
 
7.2        Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement to Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate this transaction, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller (which representations and warranties are severally made by each Buyer on an individual basis as to itself and/or the portion of the Property that it intends to acquire pursuant to the terms hereof, as applicable) that:
 
(a)            Organization and Authority. Buyer has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing in the state of its formation, and is qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located. Buyer has the full right and authority and has obtained any and all consents required to enter into this Agreement and to consummate or cause to be consummated the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been, and all of the documents to be delivered by Buyer at the Closing will be, authorized and properly executed and constitutes, or will constitute, as appropriate, the valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable in accordance with their terms.
 
(b)           Conflicts and Pending Action. There is no agreement to which Buyer is a party or to Buyer’s knowledge binding on Buyer which is in conflict with this Agreement.  There is no action or proceeding pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer which challenges or impairs Buyer’s ability to execute or perform its obligations under this Agreement.
 
(c)          OFAC Compliance. Buyer is currently in compliance with and shall at all times during the term of this Agreement remain in compliance with the regulations of the OFAC (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.
 
(d)            ERISA. Buyer is not, and is not funding its purchase of the Property under this Agreement with the assets of, any (a) “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), (b) “plan” (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), (c) entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) by reason of a plan’s investment in such entity or (d) entity subject to any law regulating investments by or fiduciary obligations with respect to “governmental plans” (within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA.

Any claim made prior to the end of the relevant Survival Period, and the rights of recovery of the Parties under Section 10.10 (attorney fees) with respect to any such claim, shall survive until such time as the subject claim is fully and finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise settled in a definitive written agreement between the Parties.  Any claim after the Closing based upon a misrepresentation or a breach of a covenant or warranty under this Agreement shall be actionable or enforceable if and only if: (i) the amount of damages or losses as a result of such claims suffered or sustained by the part(ies) making such claims, in the aggregate, exceeds $100,000.00 (the “Liability Floor”), and (iii) the aggregate liability of Seller for any and all such breaches or misrepresentations shall be limited to an amount equal to $7,000,000.00 (the “Liability Ceiling”); provided that if the party’s liability shall exceed the Liability Floor, such party shall be liable for the entire amount thereof up to the Liability Ceiling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Liability Floor and Liability Ceiling shall not apply or otherwise restrict or limit Seller’s liability for: (1) any Buyer claims arising out of Seller’s fraud, (2) the indemnification and other obligations of either party to the other under Article 6 (Prorations), (3) the obligations of Seller under Section 5.7(a), (4) the obligations under Section 10.10 (Attorney Fees), (5) the obligations under Section 11 (Local Law Items), and/or (6) Seller’s confidentiality obligations under Section 10.2 of this Agreement.

(b)         At the Closing, Seller shall deposit a portion of the Purchase Price equal to the Liability Ceiling (the “Holdback”) into an escrow (“Post-Closing Escrow”) with Escrow Agent, which will be governed by the Post-Closing Holdback Agreement. If Buyer is entitled to recover any amounts from Seller pursuant to Section 10.6(a) above, Buyer may recover amounts owing to it therefrom subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Post-Closing Holdback Agreement. For an abundance of clarity, it is understood and agreed that, without limitation, subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Holdback serves as credit support for Buyer’s recovery of amounts owing to it with respect to all obligations of Seller that survive the Closing.

In such event, if Buyer is entitled to recover any amounts from Seller pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof, Buyer may recover amounts owing to it therefrom subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Post-Closing Holdback Agreement. If all Post-Closing Work is completed by August 4, 2025, and Buyer has not incurred actual documented costs and expenses for such Post-Closing Work in excess of the amount shown on Schedule 6.2(b), then the entire Holdback shall be released and disbursed to Seller (less any amounts then in dispute for claims timely made by Buyer in accordance with Section 10.6(a) and the Post-Closing Holdback Agreement, if any).
 
(d)       Buyer’s representations and warranties herein shall survive the Closing and the execution and delivery of the Closing documents required hereunder, without Liability Ceiling.

Any judgment or order entered in any final judgment shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of all costs and expenses of suit, including actual attorneys’ fees (collectively “Costs”) incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment.

Any such notices shall be either (a) sent by overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one (1) business day after deposit with such courier, (b) sent by email, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt of confirmation of transmission of such email notice, or (c) sent by personal delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt. Any notice sent by email or personal delivery and delivered after 5:00p.m. Pacific Time shall be deemed received on the next business day.

10.12     Construction. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement has been freely negotiated by both Parties, that the Parties and their counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and agree that the normal rule of construction - to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party - shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibits or amendments hereto. Where the context so requires, the use of the singular shall include the plural and vice versa and the use of the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter. The term “person” shall include any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust, unincorporated association, any other entity and any government or any department or agency thereof, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity.
 
10.13      Calculation of Time Periods. All references to time are to Pacific time zone (“Pacific Time”) unless expressly stated otherwise. References to “day” shall mean calendar days and references to “business day” shall mean a day that is neither a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday for national banks in the location where the Property is located. Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described herein, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period so computed is to be included, unless such last day is not a business day, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next business day. The last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
 
10.14      Procedure for Indemnity. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will notify the indemnitor and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor accepts such tender in writing with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to notify the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
 
10.15     Execution in Counterparts.

Peakstone Realty Trust Acquires 51-Property
Industrial Outdoor Storage Portfolio
 
Acquires Assets from Alterra IOS and J.P. Morgan Asset Management

Establishes Presence in High-Growth Industrial Outdoor Storage Sector

Provides Significant Mark-to-Market Opportunity Over Time

Complements Existing Industrial Portfolio

Schedules Transaction Webcast for Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 8:30 AM EST

El Segundo, Calif. – November 4, 2024 – Peakstone Realty Trust (the "Company") (NYSE: PKST), a real estate investment trust focused on owning and operating industrial assets, announced today that the Company has acquired a portfolio of 51 industrial outdoor storage (“IOS”) properties from a joint venture between Alterra IOS, and institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management in an off-market transaction valued at $490 million. The acquisition was funded by a combination of proceeds from the Company’s credit facility and cash on hand.

The 51-property infill portfolio comprises 45 operating assets and six redevelopment sites. These assets span a total of 440 usable acres across 14 states and are strategically located near major supply chains and population centers. The operating portfolio has a WALT of 4.5 years1 and is approximately 100% leased2 to diversified, high-quality, primarily national and regional tenants.

Through this acquisition, Peakstone has expanded its overall industrial footprint and has established a significant presence in this emerging, high-growth sector. Industrial outdoor storage is characterized by favorable operating dynamics, significant supply constraints and minimal capital expenditure requirements. The Company has significantly enhanced its long-term growth profile with a potential 70% mark-to-market opportunity3 on the IOS operating assets and the ability to achieve incremental yield through six redevelopment sites.

"We are pleased to announce our entry into the industrial outdoor storage sector,” said Michael Escalante, CEO of Peakstone. “This portfolio is highly complementary to our existing industrial business, and adds meaningful scale, breadth and growth opportunities in a sector with compelling operating fundamentals.

 APPENDIX 
 

 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures  23  Notes: $ in thousands.   Reflects the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Normalized EBITDAre for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as adjusted for the IOS Portfolio acquisition and various separate financing transactions that the Company entered into in connection with the IOS Portfolio acquisition. Such information is presented on an as-adjusted basis by combining the Company’s historical results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 with the pro forma impact on the same quarter from the IOS Portfolio acquisition and such separate financing transactions as if all such transactions had occurred on January 1, 2023. Such information has not been prepared on a pro forma basis under Article 11 of Regulation S-X. You should therefore not place undue reliance on it. For more information regarding the Company’s unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 30, 2024, please see PKST’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2024  Net income (loss) to Normalized EBITDAre 
 

 Definitions  Term  Definition  ABR (“Annualized Base Rent”)  For each applicable segment of the PKST portfolio pre-transaction (“Existing Portfolio”), “Annualized Base Rent” or “ABR” means the contractual base rent excluding rent abatements and deducting base year operating expenses for gross and modified gross leases as of September 30, 2024, unless otherwise specified, multiplied by 12 months. For leases in effect at the end of any quarter that provide for rent abatement during the last month of that quarter, the Company used the monthly contractual base rent payable following expiration of the abatement period.  For the IOS portfolio assets (“IOS Portfolio”), “Annualized Base Rent” or “ABR” means in-place monthly contractual base rent excluding rent abatements under leases as of November 4, 2024, multiplied by 12 months. For leases that have a rent abatement period in effect as of November 4, 2024, the Company used the monthly contractual base rent payable following expiration of the abatement period.   For PKST Industrial segment post-transaction (“Pro Forma Industrial Segment”), “Annualized Base Rent” or “ABR” means the sum of Existing Portfolio Industrial segment ABR and IOS Portfolio ABR.  Cash  Cash includes cash and cash equivalents and excludes restricted cash. The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.   EBITDA  “EBITDA” is earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. We use EBITDA as a non-GAAP supplemental performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. We believe this measure is helpful to investors because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our properties. However, because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and income taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, its utility as a measure of our liquidity is limited. Accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income, as computed in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  24 
 

 Definitions (cont’d)  Term  Definition  EBITDAre  “EBITDAre” is defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as follows: (a) GAAP Net Income plus  (b) interest expense plus (c) income tax expense plus (d) depreciation and amortization plus/minus (e) losses and gains on the  disposition of depreciated property, including losses/ gains on change of control plus (f) impairment write-downs of depreciated  property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, plus (g)  adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of consolidated affiliates. We use EBITDAre as a non-GAAP supplemental  performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. We believe this measure is helpful to investors because  it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our properties. However, because EBITDAre is calculated before recurring cash  charges, including interest expense and income taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash  requirements of our business, its utility as a measure of our liquidity is limited. Accordingly, EBITDAre should not be considered an  alternative to cash flow from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity or as an  alternative to net income, as computed in accordance with GAAP. EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of  other companies.  Investment Grade (or “IG”)  “Investment grade” means an investment grade credit rating from a NRSRO approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (e.g., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings Inc.) or a non-NRSRO credit rating (e.g., Bloomberg’s default risk rating) that management believes is generally equivalent to an NRSRO investment grade rating; management can provide no assurance as to the comparability of these ratings methodologies or that any particular rating for a company is indicative of the rating that a single NRSRO would provide in the event that it rated all companies for which the Company provides credit ratings; to the extent such companies are rated only by non-NRSRO ratings providers, such ratings providers may use methodologies that are different and less rigorous than those applied by NRSROs. In the context of Peakstone’s portfolio, references to “investment grade” include, and credit ratings provided by Peakstone may refer to, tenants, guarantors, and non-guarantor parent entities. There can be no assurance that such guarantors or non-guarantor parent entities will satisfy the tenant’s lease obligations, and accordingly, any such credit ratings may not be indicative of the creditworthiness of the Company's tenants.  25 
 

 Definitions  Term  Definition  Mark-to-Market  For PKST Industrial segment pre-transaction, “Mark-to-Market” is based on management’s estimate of market rents as of September 30, 2024, divided by in-place monthly contractual base rent as of that date. No assurance can be given that expiring leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased above, below or at management's estimate of market rental rates.   For the Operating Assets in the IOS Portfolio, “Mark-to-Market” is based on management’s estimate of market rents as of November 4, 2024, divided by in-place monthly contractual base rent as of that date. No assurance can be given that expiring leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased above, below or at management's estimate of market rental rates.   Normalized EBITDAre  “Normalized EBITDAre” is a non-GAAP supplemental performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company.  Normalized EBITDAre, as defined by the Company, represents EBITDAre (as defined by NAREIT), modified to exclude items such as  acquisition-related expenses, employee separation expenses and other items that we believe are not indicative of the performance of  our portfolio. Normalized EBITDAre also excludes the Normalized EBITDAre impact of properties sold during the period and  extrapolate the operations of acquired properties to estimate a full quarter of ownership (in each case, as if such disposition or  acquisition had occurred on the first day of the quarter). We may also exclude the annualizing of other large transaction items such as  termination income recognized during the quarter. Management believes these adjustments to reconcile to Normalized EBITDAre  provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by  management and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. However, because Normalized EBITDAre is  calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and income taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or  other recurring cash requirements of our business, its utility as a measure of our liquidity is limited. Therefore, Normalized EBITDAre  should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as computed in accordance with GAAP. Normalized EBITDAre may not be  comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  26 
 

 Definitions (cont’d)  Term  Definition  Net Debt  “Net Debt” is total debt less Cash.  Target Yield  For the IOS Portfolio, based on management’s estimate of market rents as of November 4, 2024, divided by (i) in the case of the Operating Assets, the anticipated total investment consisting of the allocated purchase price, in connection with the Company's preliminary purchase price allocation, and management’s estimate of any additional capital costs required to achieve market rental rates, (ii) in the case of the Redevelopment Assets, the anticipated total investment consisting of the allocated purchase price, in connection with the Company's preliminary purchase price allocation, plus management’s estimate of total redevelopment costs and any additional capital costs required to achieve market rental rents. No assurance can be given that expiring leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased above, below or at management’s estimate of market rental rates as of November 4, 2024. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will complete any projects under redevelopment on the terms currently contemplated, or at all, that the final purchase price allocation will not differ materially from the preliminary allocation, or that the actual cost or completion dates of any of these projects will not exceed management’s estimates. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the estimated target yield range will be achieved.  WALT  “WALT” is weighted average lease term (in years). This is the average remaining lease term for all leases combined, weighted  based on Annualized Base Rent.  27 
 



Exhibit 99.3


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 
To the Members of
IOS JV, LLC
 
Opinion

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of an industrial storage facility portfolio of properties (IOS Portfolio) of IOS JV, LLC (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes.

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses, of the IOS Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of IOS JV, LLC and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which describes that the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be a complete presentation of IOS Portfolio’s revenues and certain expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.


Marcum llp / 1601 Market Street / 4th Floor / Philadelphia, PA 19103 / Phone 215.297.2100 / marcumllp.com

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
 
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

1.
Basis of Presentation
 
Peakstone Realty Trust ("Peakstone") is under contract to acquire an industrial outdoor storage portfolio comprised of 45 operating assets and six redevelopment sites (collectively, the "IOS Portfolio") from IOS JV, LLC (the “Company”). The IOS Portfolio is not a legal entity but rather an industrial outdoor storage portfolio indirectly owned by the Company.
 
The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses (the “Statements”) relate to the IOS Portfolio and have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the Statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented because certain revenues and operating expenses that may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the future operations of the IOS Portfolio have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, management fees, interest expense, interest income, amortization of above- and below-market leases.
 
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The IOS Portfolio leases its assets to tenants under agreements that are classified as operating leases. In accordance with ASC 842, the IOS Portfolio recognizes rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is probable. For lease arrangements when it is not probable that the IOS Portfolio will collect all or substantially all of the remaining lease payments under the term of the lease, rental revenue is limited to the lesser of the rental revenue that would be recognized on a straight-line basis or the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Lease payments received in advance are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term associated with the prepayment. Tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance and other recoverable expenses are recognized when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. Tenant reimbursements are accounted for as fixed and variable lease payments and are recorded as rental income. Miscellaneous income is revenue that is derived from late fees and tenant deposit forfeits. Miscellaneous income is recognized when earned.

Use of Estimates
 
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenues and certain expenses during the reporting periods to present the Statements in conformity with US GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3.
Minimum Future Lease Rentals
 
There are various lease agreements in place with tenants to lease space with the IOS Portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, the minimum future cash rents receivable under noncancelable operating leases in each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows (unaudited):
 
2024 (three months ending December 31, 2024)

Thereafter

$

Leases generally require reimbursement of the tenant’s proportional share of common area, real estate taxes and other operating expenses, which are excluded from the amounts above.
 
Included in Future Lease Rentals is future cash rent pursuant to lease agreements with Buse Timber & Sales, Inc. (“Buse Timber”) that totals $26,343,262. On October 1, 2024, Buse Timber filed a petition before the Superior Court of the State of Washington County of Snohomish that appointed a general receiver over all of its assets pursuant to Chapter 7.08 RCW and Chapter 7.60 RCW. As of the issuance of the Statements, the lease with Buse Timber has not been terminated.
 
4.
Tenant Concentrations
 
For the year ended December 31, 2023, two tenants represented an aggregate of approximately 20% of the IOS Portfolio’s rental revenues. For the nine-month ended September 30, 2024, one tenant represented approximately 10% of the IOS Portfolio’s rental revenues.
 
5.
Commitments and Contingencies
 
The IOS Portfolio is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material impact on the Statements.
 
6.
Subsequent Events
 
Management evaluated subsequent events through October 30, 2024, the date the Statements were available to be issued.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments

(A) Represents the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Peakstone Realty Trust as of September 30, 2024.  See the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

(B) Reflects the IOS Portfolio acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2024 for aggregate consideration of approximately $490.0 million, plus an additional $10.0 million of capitalizable transaction costs. At the effective time of the transaction, the Company funded the acquisition with a $280.0 million draw on its revolving credit facility and $213.3 million of cash on hand.

The Company has performed a preliminary purchase price valuation analysis of the fair market value of the IOS Portfolio’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and expects to account for this transaction as an asset acquisition. Using the total consideration for the acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of November 4, 2024 (in thousands):

Assets acquired:

The difference between the draw on the revolving credit facility ($280.0 million) and cash paid ($213.3 million) compared to the purchase price ($500.0 million) is comprised of the following (in thousands):

Credit for advance rent

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the transaction accounting adjustments in the pro forma consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations as described in more detail in the explanatory notes below. The final allocation is expected to be completed when the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 and could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the transaction accounting adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of real estate; (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets and liabilities, and (3) other changes to liabilities.

(C)  On October 31, 2024, under the Ninth Amendment to the Second Credit Agreement dated, the Company obtained an additional $175.0 million term loan (“New Term Loan”). The proceeds from the New Term Loan, less $1.1 million of commitment fees, were utilized to paydown the current balance on our revolving credit facility.  In addition, the Company obtained three separate fixed-rate mortgage loans, two obtained on November 1, 2024 and one obtained on November 4, 2024, all of which are secured by assets within its existing portfolio for an aggregate principal amount of $110.3 million. We incurred financing fees for the New Term Loan of $2.1 million, inclusive of the commitment fees listed above and $1.9 million for the mortgage loans. Proceeds from these mortgage loans were used to fund a portion of the IOS Portfolio acquisition.

Depreciation expense is calculated, for purposes of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations based on an estimated useful life range of 1-40 years for buildings, an estimated useful life range of 1-15 years for building improvements, and the remaining contractual, in-place lease term for intangible lease assets. In utilizing these useful lives for determining the pro-forma adjustments, management considered the length of time the property had been in existence, the maintenance history and anticipated future maintenance, and any contractual stipulations that might limit the useful life.

At the effective time of the transaction, the Company drew $280.0 million on its revolving credit facility. With the additional debt, the Company’s leverage ratio was greater than or equal to 45% but less than 50%, which indicates a spread of 1.80% over SOF Rate and a 0.1% index, for a total rate of 6.60% for the revolving credit facility.

(CC) The terms of the New Term Loan require periodic interest payments priced at SOF Rate plus a spread based on our current leverage ratio. With the additional debt required for the IOS Portfolio acquisition, our leverage ratio was greater than or equal to 45% but less than 50%, which indicates a spread of 1.75% over the SOF Rate for a total rate of 6.55% for the New Term Loan. In connection with The New Term Loan, the Company incurred approximately $2.1 million of financing fees that will be amortized over the four-year term, which includes the one-year extension option of the New Term Loan.  In addition, we secured three fixed-rate mortgage loans described above in Note (C). The first fixed-rate mortgage loan for $49.6 million has a contractual rate of 5.48% and a term of seven and a half years with financing fees of $0.8 million.  The second fixed-rate mortgage loan for $37.7 million has a contractual rate of 5.31% and a term of five years with financing fees of $0.5 million.  The third fixed-rate mortgage loan for $23.0 million has a contractual rate of 6.51% and a term of five years with financing fees of $0.6 million. The related financing fees will be amortized over the applicable term of the loan.
