P. Carey 2022 10-K – 2 Item 1. Business. General Development of Business PART I W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”), together with our consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, is an internally-managed diversified REIT and a leading owner of commercial real estate, net-leased to companies located primarily in the United States and Northern and Western Europe on a long-term basis. The vast majority of our revenues originate from lease revenue provided by our real estate portfolio, which is comprised primarily of single-tenant industrial, warehouse, office, retail, and self-storage facilities that are critical to our tenants’ operations. Our portfolio is comprised of 1,449 properties, net- leased to 392 tenants in 26 countries. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 63% of our contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”) was generated by properties located in the United States and approximately 34% was generated by properties located in Europe. As of that same date, our portfolio included 87 operating properties, comprised of 84 self-storage properties, two student housing properties, and one hotel. On August 1, 2022, one of our former investment programs, Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”), merged with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries (the “CPA:18 Merger”), which added approximately $2.2 billion of real estate assets to our portfolio (Note 3). This effectively completed our exit from our investment management business. Founded in 1973, we became a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in 1998 and reorganized as a REIT in 2012. Our shares of common stock are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “WPC.” Headquartered in New York, we also have offices in Dallas, London, and Amsterdam. Narrative Description of Business Business Objectives and Strategy Our primary business objective is to invest in a diversified portfolio of high-quality, mission-critical assets subject to long-term net leases with built-in rent escalators for the purpose of generating stable cash flows, enabling us to grow our dividend and increase long-term stockholder value. Our investment strategy primarily focuses on owning and actively managing a diverse portfolio of commercial real estate that is net-leased to credit-worthy companies. We review and evaluate the fundamental value of the underlying real estate. We believe that many companies prefer to lease rather than own their corporate real estate because it allows them to deploy their capital more effectively into their core competencies. We specialize in sale-leaseback transactions, where we acquire a company’s critical real estate and then lease it back to them on a long-term, triple-net basis, which requires them to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property (such as real estate taxes, insurance, and facility maintenance). Compared to other types of real estate investments, sale-leaseback transactions typically produce a more predictable income stream and require minimal capital expenditures, which in turn generate revenues that provide our stockholders with a stable, growing source of income. We believe that diversification across property type, tenant, tenant industry, and geographic location, as well as diversification of our lease expirations and scheduled rent increases, are vital aspects of portfolio risk management and accordingly have constructed a portfolio of real estate that we believe is well- diversified across each of these categories. We capitalize on our large portfolio and existing tenant relationships through accretive expansions, renovations, and follow-on deals. We actively manage our real estate portfolio to monitor tenant credit quality and lease renewal risks. We also maintain ample liquidity, a conservative capital structure, and access to multiple forms of capital. Our business operates in two segments: Real Estate and Investment Management, as described herein and in Note 1. Our Real Estate segment generates the vast majority of our earnings through the lease revenues we earn from our real estate investments. We have historically earned asset management fees and other compensation from the management of non-traded real estate investment programs through our Investment Management segment. Following the close of the CPA:18 Merger, our advisory agreements with CPA:18 – Global were terminated (Note 3). On April 13, 2020, two of our former investment programs, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI 1”) and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”) (together, the “CWI REITs”), merged in an all-stock transaction (the “CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger”). Following the close of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 3 Merger, our advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated and CWI 2 was renamed Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc. (“WLT”) (Note 4). As used herein, “Managed Programs” refers to CPA:18 – Global (through August 1, 2022), the CWI REITs (through April 13, 2020), and Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P. (“CESH”). We continue to act as the advisor to CESH and currently expect to do so through the end of its life cycle (Note 4). We intend to operate our business in a manner that is consistent with the maintenance of our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In addition, we expect to manage our investments in order to maintain our exemption from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Investment Strategies When considering potential net-lease investments for our real estate portfolio, we review various aspects of a transaction to determine whether the investment and lease structure will satisfy our investment criteria. We generally analyze the following main aspects of each transaction: Tenant/Borrower Evaluation — We evaluate each potential tenant or borrower for creditworthiness, typically considering factors such as management experience, industry position and fundamentals, operating history, and capital structure. We also rate each asset based on its market, liquidity, and criticality to the tenant’s operations, as well as other factors that may be unique to a particular investment. We seek opportunities where we believe the tenant may have a stable or improving credit profile or credit potential that has not been fully recognized by the market. We define creditworthiness as a risk-reward relationship appropriate to our investment strategies, which may or may not coincide with ratings issued by the credit rating agencies. We have a robust internal credit rating system and may designate subsidiaries of non-guarantor parent companies with investment grade ratings as “implied investment grade.” Properties Critical to Tenant/Borrower Operations — We generally focus on properties and facilities that we believe are critical to the ongoing operations of the tenant. We believe that these properties generally provide better protection, particularly in the event of a bankruptcy, since a tenant/borrower is less likely to risk the loss of a critically important lease or property in a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise. Diversification — We attempt to diversify our portfolio to avoid undue dependence on any one particular tenant, borrower, collateral type, geographic location, or industry. By diversifying our portfolio, we seek to reduce the adverse effect of a single underperforming investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic region. While we do not set any fixed diversity metrics in our portfolio, we believe that it is well-diversified. Lease Terms — Generally, the net-leased properties we invest in are leased on a full-recourse basis to the tenants or their affiliates. In addition, the vast majority of our leases provide for scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease (see Our Portfolio below). These rent increases are either fixed (i.e., mandated on specific dates) or tied to increases in inflation indices (e.g., the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or similar indices in the jurisdiction where the property is located), but may contain caps or other limitations, either on an annual or overall basis. In the case of retail stores and hotels, the lease may provide for participation in the gross revenues of the tenant above a stated level, which we refer to as percentage rent. Real Estate Evaluation — We review and evaluate the physical condition of the property and the market in which it is located. We consider a variety of factors, including current market rents, replacement cost, residual valuation, property operating history, demographic characteristics of the location and accessibility, competitive properties, and suitability for re-leasing. We obtain third-party environmental and engineering reports and market studies when required. When considering an investment outside the United States, we will also consider factors particular to a country or region, including geopolitical risk, in addition to the risks normally associated with real property investments. See Item 1A. Risk Factors. Transaction Provisions to Enhance and Protect Value — When negotiating leases with potential tenants, we attempt to include provisions that we believe help to protect the investment from material changes in the tenant’s operating and financial characteristics, which may affect the tenant’s ability to satisfy its obligations to us or reduce the value of the investment. Such provisions include covenants requiring our consent for certain activities, requiring indemnification protections and/or security deposits, and requiring the tenant to satisfy specific operating tests. We may also seek to enhance the likelihood that a tenant will satisfy their lease obligations through a letter of credit or guaranty from the tenant’s parent or other entity. Such credit enhancements, if obtained, provide us with additional financial security. However, in markets where competition for net-lease transactions is strong, some or all of these lease provisions may be difficult to obtain. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 4 Competition — We face active competition from many sources, both domestically and internationally, for net-lease investment opportunities in commercial properties. In general, we believe that our management’s experience in real estate, credit underwriting, and transaction structuring will allow us to compete effectively for commercial properties. However, competitors may be willing to accept rates of return, lease terms, other transaction terms, or levels of risk that we find unacceptable. Asset Management We believe that proactive asset management is essential to maintaining and enhancing property values. Important aspects of asset management include entering into new or modified transactions to meet the evolving needs of current tenants, re-leasing properties, credit and real estate risk analysis, building expansions and redevelopments, repositioning assets, sustainability and efficiency analysis and retrofits, and strategic dispositions. We regularly engage directly with our tenants and form long-term working relationships with their decision makers in order to provide proactive solutions and to obtain an in- depth, real-time understanding of tenant credit. We monitor compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of our real estate investments on an ongoing basis, which typically involves ensuring that each tenant has paid real estate taxes and other expenses relating to the properties it occupies and is maintaining appropriate insurance coverage. To ensure such compliance at our properties, we often engage the expertise of third parties to complete property inspections. We also review tenant financial statements and undertake regular physical inspections of the properties to verify their condition and maintenance. Additionally, we periodically analyze each tenant’s financial condition, the industry in which each tenant operates, and each tenant’s relative strength in its industry. The in-depth understanding of our tenants’ businesses and direct relationships with their management teams provides strong visibility into potential issues as well as additional investment opportunities. Our business intelligence platform provides real-time surveillance and early warning, allowing asset managers to work with tenants to enforce lease provisions, and where appropriate, consider lease modifications. Financing Strategies We believe in maintaining ample liquidity, a conservative capital structure, and access to multiple forms of capital. We preserve balance sheet flexibility and liquidity by maintaining significant capacity on our $1.8 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”), as well as any amounts available to us under our term loan (“Term Loan”) and delayed draw term loan (“Delayed Draw Term Loan”), which, together with our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, we refer to collectively as our “Senior Unsecured Credit Facility.” We also hold cash on hand to settle our forward equity arrangements, as needed. We generally use the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility to fund our immediate capital needs, including new acquisitions and the repayment of secured mortgage debt as we continue to unencumber assets. We seek to replace short-term financing with more permanent forms of capital, including, but not limited to, common stock, unsecured debt securities, bank debt, and proceeds from asset sales. When evaluating which form of capital to pursue, we take into consideration multiple factors, including our corporate leverage levels and targets, and the most attractive source of capital available to us. We may choose to issue unsecured debt securities and bank debt denominated in foreign currencies in part to fund international acquisitions, unencumber assets, and mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. We strive to maintain an investment grade rating, which places limitations on the amount of leverage acceptable in our capital structure. Although we expect to continue to have access to a wide variety of capital sources and maintain our investment grade rating, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. Our Portfolio At December 31, 2022, our portfolio had the following characteristics: • Number of properties — full or partial ownership interests in 1,449 net-leased properties, 84 self-storage properties, two student housing properties, and one hotel; Total net-leased square footage — approximately 176 million; and • • Occupancy rate — approximately 98.8%.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and ability to pay dividends could be materially adversely affected by various risks and uncertainties, including those enumerated below, which could cause such results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements. You should not consider this list exhaustive. New risk factors emerge periodically and we cannot assure you that the factors described below list all risks that may become material to us at any later time. Risks Related to Our Portfolio and Ownership of Real Estate We face an increasingly competitive marketplace for investments. The net lease financing market is perceived as a relatively conservative investment vehicle and there has been increasing capital inflows into our sector; accordingly, we face escalating competition for investments, both domestically and internationally. We compete for investments with many other financial institutions and investors, including other REITs, private equity firms, pension funds, and finance companies. Our competitors may accept greater risk or lower returns, allowing them to offer more attractive terms to prospective tenants. Further capital inflows into our sector will place additional pressure on our ability to execute transactions and the returns that we can generate from investments. In particular, private equity real estate investors have raised record amounts of capital in recent periods, which is expected to be deployed into acquisitions that are contributing to an increasingly competitive marketplace. This competitive marketplace for investments could also have a negative impact on our revenue growth. In addition, expectations of rising interest rates may increase our cost of capital, while capitalization rates (which generally respond to higher interest rates on a lag) could remain low or continue to decline, thereby placing additional pressure on investment spreads throughout the net lease sector. Finally, the vast majority of our current investments are in single-tenant commercial properties that are subject to triple-net leases. Many factors, including changes in tax laws or accounting rules, may make these types of sale-leaseback transactions less attractive to potential sellers and lessees, which could negatively affect our ability to increase these types of investments. We are not required to meet any diversification standards; therefore, our investments may become subject to concentration risks. Subject to our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are not required to meet any diversification standards. Therefore, our investments may become concentrated in type or geographic location, which could subject us to significant risks with potentially adverse effects on our investment objectives. Inflation and increased interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Increases in inflation and interest rates could have an adverse impact on the cost of our existing variable-rate debt, new debt obligations entered into in the future, and costs incurred by the company through its operations. Our leases typically require tenants to pay all property operating expenses and increases in those property-level expenses at our leased properties generally do not affect us. However, increased operating expenses at properties not subject to full triple-net leases could cause us to incur additional operating expenses. Increases in inflation could also impact other costs incurred by the company including general and administrative costs. While the vast majority of leases contain rent escalators, including inflation-linked rent escalators, these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rental and other revenue. In addition, as a result of rising interest rates we may experience difficulty arranging third- party financing, including refinancing maturing debt in part or in full as it comes due, and could pay higher interest costs on future financings. If increases in costs are not sufficiently offset by the contractual rent W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 7 increases or increases in other revenue, we may be required to implement measures to conserve cash or preserve liquidity. Certain financial covenants could be affected as a result of higher debt service costs, which may place restrictions on our liquidity. If we are unable to find alternative credit arrangements or other funding in a high interest environment, our business needs may not be adequately met. Tenants and potential tenants of our properties may also be adversely impacted by inflation and rising interest rates, which could negatively impact our tenants’ ability to pay rent and the demand for our properties. Such adverse impacts on our tenants may cause increased vacancies and lower future rents. We may incur substantial impairment charges. We may incur substantial impairment charges, which could adversely affect our results of operations or limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices and may reduce the availability of buyer financing. By their nature, the timing or extent of impairment charges are not predictable. Because we invest in properties located outside the United States, we are exposed to additional risks. We have invested, and may continue to invest, in properties located outside the United States. At December 31, 2022, our real estate properties located outside of the United States represented 37% of our ABR. These investments may be affected by factors particular to the local jurisdiction where the property is located and may expose us to additional risks, including: • • • • • • • • enactment of laws relating to foreign ownership of property (including expropriation of investments), or laws and regulations relating to our ability to repatriate invested capital, profits, or cash and cash equivalents back to the United States; legal systems where the ability to enforce contractual rights and remedies may be more limited than under U.S. law; difficulty in complying with conflicting obligations in various jurisdictions and the burden of observing a variety of evolving foreign laws, regulations, and governmental rules and policies, which may be more stringent than U.S. laws and regulations (including land use, zoning, environmental, financial, and privacy laws and regulations, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation); tax requirements vary by country and existing foreign tax laws and interpretations may change (e.g., the on-going implementation of the European Union’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directives), which may result in additional taxes on our international investments; changes in operating expenses in particular countries or regions; increased energy and commodity prices in Europe; foreign exchange rates; and geopolitical and military conflict risk and adverse market conditions caused by changes in national or regional economic or political conditions, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine (which may impact relative interest rates and the terms or availability of debt financing). The failure of our compliance and internal control systems to properly mitigate such additional risks, or of our operating infrastructure to support such international investments, could result in operational failures, regulatory fines, or other governmental sanctions. We may engage third-party asset managers in international jurisdictions to monitor compliance with legal requirements and lending agreements. Failure to comply with applicable requirements may expose us, our operating subsidiaries, or the entities we manage to additional liabilities. Our operations in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and other countries are subject to significant compliance, disclosure, and other obligations. In addition, the lack of publicly available information in certain jurisdictions could impair our ability to analyze transactions and may cause us to forego an investment opportunity. It may also impair our ability to receive timely and accurate financial information from tenants necessary to meet reporting obligations to financial institutions or governmental and regulatory agencies. Certain of these risks may be greater in less developed countries. Further, our expertise to date is primarily in the United States and certain countries in Europe. We have less experience in other international markets and may not be as familiar with the potential risks to investments in these areas, which could cause us and the entities we manage to incur losses. We are also subject to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar because we translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial statements (our principal exposure is to the euro). Our results of foreign operations are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies (i.e., absent other considerations, a stronger U.S. dollar will reduce both our revenues and our expenses). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 8 A significant amount of our leases will expire within the next five years and we may have difficulty re-leasing or selling our properties if tenants do not renew their leases. Within the next five years, approximately 26% of our leases, based on our ABR as of December 31, 2022, are due to expire. If these leases are not renewed or if the properties cannot be re-leased on terms that yield comparable payments, our lease revenues could be substantially adversely affected. In addition, when attempting to re-lease such properties, we may incur significant costs and the terms of any new or renewed leases will depend on prevailing market conditions at that time. We may also seek to sell such properties and incur losses due to prevailing market conditions. Some of our properties are designed for the particular needs of a tenant; thus, we may be required to renovate or make rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant. If we need to sell such properties, we may have difficulty selling it to a third party due to the property’s unique design. Real estate investments are generally less liquid than many other financial assets, which may limit our ability to quickly adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. These and other limitations may adversely affect returns to our stockholders. Certain of our leases permit tenants to purchase a property at a predetermined price, which could limit our realization of any appreciation or result in a loss. Under our existing leases, certain tenants have a right to repurchase the properties they lease from us. The purchase price may be a fixed price or it may be based on a formula or the market value at the time of exercise. If a tenant exercises its right to purchase the property and the property’s market value has increased beyond that price, we would not be able to fully realize the appreciation on that property. Additionally, if the price at which the tenant can purchase the property is less than our carrying value (e.g., where the purchase price is based on an appraised value), we may incur a loss. In addition, we may also be unable to reinvest proceeds from these dispositions in investments with similar or better investment returns. Our ability to control the management of our net-leased properties is limited, which limits our ability to manage property deterioration risks and could impact our ESG ratings and our ability to make ESG disclosures. The tenants or managers of net-leased properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. If a property is not adequately maintained in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, we may incur expenses for deferred maintenance expenditures or other liabilities once the property becomes free of the lease. While our leases generally provide for recourse against the tenant in these instances, a bankrupt or financially troubled tenant may be more likely to defer maintenance and it may be more difficult to enforce remedies against such a tenant. Although we endeavor to monitor compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of our properties on an ongoing basis, we may not always be able to ascertain or forestall deterioration in the condition of a property or the financial circumstances of a tenant. This lack of control over our net-leased properties also makes it difficult for us to collect property-level environmental metrics and to enforce sustainability initiatives, which may impact our ability to comply with certain ESG disclosure requirements (such as the SEC’s expected new ESG disclosure rules) or engage effectively with established ESG frameworks and standards, such as the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarks, the Task Force for Climate- Related Financial Disclosures and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. If we are unable to successfully collect the data necessary to comply with ESG disclosure requirements, we may be subject to increased regulatory risk; and if such data is incomplete or unfavorable, our relationship with our investor base, our stock price, and our access to capital may be negatively impacted. The value of our real estate is subject to fluctuation. We are subject to all of the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate, which include: • • • • • • • • • adverse changes in general or local economic conditions, including changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates; changes in the supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties; competition for tenants and changes in market rental rates; the ongoing need for capital improvements; Federal Reserve short term rate decisions; the mortgage market and real estate market in the United States; inability to lease or sell properties upon termination of existing leases, or renewal of leases at lower rental rates; inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy; changes in tax, real estate, zoning, or environmental laws that adversely impact the value of real estate; W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 9 • • • • • • failure to comply with federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire or life- safety requirements; changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; uninsured property liability, property damage, or casualty losses; increased operating costs, which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors; exposure to environmental losses and the effects of climate change; and civil unrest, acts of war, terrorism, acts of God, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured losses) and other factors beyond our control. While the revenues from our leases are not directly dependent upon the value of the real estate owned, significant declines in real estate values could adversely affect us in many ways, including a decline in the residual values of properties at lease expiration, possible lease abandonment by tenants, and a decline in the attractiveness of triple-net lease transactions to potential sellers. We also face the risk that lease revenue will be insufficient to cover all corporate operating expenses and the debt service payments we incur. Because most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant, our success is materially dependent upon the tenant’s financial stability. Most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant; therefore, the success of our investments is materially dependent on the financial stability of these tenants. Revenues from several of our tenants/guarantors constitute a significant percentage of our lease revenues. Our top ten tenants accounted for approximately 18% of total ABR at December 31, 2022. Lease payment defaults by tenants could negatively impact our net income and reduce the amounts available for distribution to stockholders. The bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may cause a reduction in our revenue and an increase in our expenses. We have had, and may in the future have, tenants file for bankruptcy protection. Bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant could lead to the loss of lease or interest and principal payments, an increase in the carrying cost of the property, and litigation. If one or a series of bankruptcies or insolvencies is significant enough (more likely during a period of economic downturn), it could lead to a reduction in the value of our shares and/or a decrease in our dividend. Under U.S. bankruptcy law, a tenant that is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings has the option of assuming or rejecting any unexpired lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, any resulting claim we have for breach of the lease (excluding collateral securing the claim) will be treated as a general unsecured claim and the maximum claim will be capped. In addition, due to the long-term nature of our leases and, in some cases, terms providing for the repurchase of a property by the tenant, a bankruptcy court could recharacterize a net lease transaction as a secured lending transaction. Insolvency laws outside the United States may be more or less favorable to reorganization or the protection of a debtor’s rights as in the United States. In circumstances where the bankruptcy laws of the United States are considered to be more favorable to debtors and/or their reorganization, entities that are not ordinarily perceived as U.S. entities may seek to take advantage of U.S. bankruptcy laws. The continued disruption and reduced economic activity caused by COVID-19, rising interest rates, inflation and a potential economic downturn may severely affect our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity, leading to an increase in tenant bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, a portion of our tenants may fail to meet their obligations to us in full (or at all), or may otherwise seek modifications of such obligations. Certain jurisdictions may also enact laws or regulations that impact or alter our ability to collect rent under our existing least terms. The ultimate extent to which COVID-19 will continue to impact the operations of our tenants will depend on future developments, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. We may be materially adversely affected by laws, regulations or other issues related to climate change. If we become subject to laws or regulations related to climate change, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The federal government has enacted certain climate change laws and regulations which may, among other things, regulate “carbon footprints” and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the SEC has recently proposed rule amendments that would require us to prepare a wide range of new climate-related disclosures, including with respect to our climate-related risks, greenhouse gas emissions, and other climate-related targets, goals and plans. Such laws and regulations could result in substantial compliance costs, retrofit costs and construction costs, including monitoring and reporting costs and capital expenditures for environmental control facilities and other new equipment. Noncompliance with these laws or regulations may result in potential cost increases, litigation, fines, penalties, brand or reputational damage, loss of tenants, lower W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 10 valuation and higher investor activism activities. We cannot predict how future laws and regulations, or future interpretations of current laws and regulations related to climate change will affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain. These may include changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensity, increased strength of hurricanes, water shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperatures. These impacts may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because we are subject to possible liabilities relating to environmental matters, we could incur unexpected costs and our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of a property may be negatively impacted. We have invested, and may in the future invest, in real properties historically or currently used for industrial, manufacturing, and other commercial purposes, and some of our tenants may handle hazardous or toxic substances, generate hazardous wastes, or discharge regulated pollutants to the environment. Buildings and structures on the properties we purchase may have known or suspected asbestos-containing building materials. We may invest in properties located in countries that have adopted laws or observe environmental management standards that are less stringent than those generally followed in the United States, which may pose a greater risk that releases of hazardous or toxic substances have occurred. We therefore may own properties that have known or potential environmental contamination as a result of historical or ongoing operations, which may expose us to liabilities under environmental laws. Some of these laws could impose the following on us: • • • responsibility and liability for the cost of investigation and removal or remediation (including at appropriate disposal facilities) of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our property, generally without regard to our knowledge of, or responsibility for, the presence of these contaminants; liability for claims by third parties based on damages to natural resources or property, personal injuries, or costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances in, on, or migrating from our property; and responsibility for managing asbestos-containing building materials and third-party claims for exposure to those materials. Costs relating to investigation, remediation, or removal of hazardous or toxic substances, or for third-party claims for damages, may be substantial and could exceed any amounts estimated and recorded within our consolidated financial statements. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances at any of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could (i) give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination or (ii) otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, environmental liabilities, or costs or operating limitations imposed on a tenant by environmental laws, could affect its ability to make rental payments to us. And although we endeavor to avoid doing so, we may be required, in connection with any future divestitures of property, to provide buyers with indemnifications against potential environmental liabilities. Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Capital Resources Our level of indebtedness could have significant adverse consequences and our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our debt service obligations. Our consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 2022 was approximately $7.9 billion, representing a consolidated debt to gross assets ratio of approximately 39.8%. This consolidated indebtedness was comprised of (i) $5.9 billion in Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined in Note 11), (ii) $828.9 million outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11), and (iii) $1.1 billion in non-recourse mortgage loans on various properties. Our level of indebtedness could have significant adverse consequences on our business and operations, including the following: • it may increase our vulnerability to changes in economic conditions (including increases in interest rates) and limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and/or industry; • we may be at a disadvantage compared to our competitors with comparatively less indebtedness; • we may be unable to hedge our debt, or such hedges may fail or expire, leaving us exposed to potentially volatile interest or currency exchange • rates; any default on our secured indebtedness may lead to foreclosures, creating taxable income that could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code; and • we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness or obtain additional financing as needed or on favorable terms. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 11 Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow determines whether we will be able to (i) meet our existing or potential future debt service obligations; (ii) refinance our existing or potential future indebtedness; and (iii) fund our operations, working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and other important business uses. Our future cash flow is subject to many factors beyond our control and we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future sources of cash will be available to us on favorable terms, to meet all of our debt service obligations and fund our other important business uses or liquidity needs. As a result, we may be forced to take other actions to meet those obligations, such as selling properties, raising equity, or delaying capital expenditures, any of which may not be feasible or could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, despite our substantial outstanding indebtedness and the restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness, we may incur significantly more indebtedness in the future, which would exacerbate the risks discussed above. We are subject to risks related to the anticipated replacement of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to USD LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. The ICE Benchmark Administration stated that it will cease to publish all remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following their publication on June 30, 2023. We have financial contracts that are indexed to LIBOR. Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility contained provisions that contemplate methods to establishing an alternative base rate upon USD LIBOR’s retirement and, in January 2023, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to transition to SOFR. In a similar manner, we will manage the transition from LIBOR for all of our remaining debt and derivative instruments using any language that may be included in their respective agreements and through potential modifications. Risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability include, but are not limited to, potential changes to financial products and market practices, borrowing rates, fees, interest obligations, and the value of debt and derivative instruments. Transitioning to an alternative reference rate may require negotiations with lenders and other counterparties, which could present challenges if the method of transition is not mutually agreed upon. We have transitioned all non-USD LIBOR base rate exposures phased out at the end of 2021 to their respective alternative reference rates. Restrictive covenants in our credit agreement and indentures may limit our ability to expand or fully pursue our business strategies. The credit agreement for our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and the indentures governing our Senior Unsecured Notes contain financial and operating covenants that, among other things, require us to meet specified financial ratios and may limit our ability to take specific actions, even if we believe them to be in our best interest (e.g., subject to certain exceptions, our ability to consummate a merger, consolidation, or a transfer of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets to another person is restricted). These covenants may restrict our ability to expand or fully pursue our business strategies. Our ability to comply with these and other provisions of our debt agreements may be affected by changes in our operating and financial performance, changes in general business and economic conditions, adverse regulatory developments, or other events beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our indebtedness, which could result in the acceleration of the maturity of such indebtedness and potentially other indebtedness. If any of our indebtedness is accelerated prior to maturity, we may not be able to repay such indebtedness or refinance such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all. A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition as well as the market price of our Senior Unsecured Notes. We plan to manage our operations to maintain investment grade status with a capital structure consistent with our current profile. In September 2022 our rating was upgraded by Moody’s to Baa1 and in January 2023 our rating was upgraded by S&P Global Ratings to BBB+, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Our credit ratings could change based upon, among other things, our historical and projected business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies and we cannot provide any assurance that our ratings will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future. If any of the credit rating agencies downgrades or lowers our credit rating, or if any credit rating agency indicates that it has placed our rating on a “watch list” for a possible downgrading or lowering, or otherwise indicates that its outlook for our rating is negative, it could have a material adverse effect on our costs and availability of capital, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us and on our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations (including those under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, our Senior W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 12 Unsecured Notes, or other similar debt securities that we issue) and to pay dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, any such action could negatively impact the market price of our Senior Unsecured Notes. Some of our properties are encumbered by mortgage debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow. At December 31, 2022, we had $1.1 billion of property-level mortgage debt on a non-recourse basis, which limits our exposure on any property to the amount of equity invested in the property. If we are unable to make our mortgage-related debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its debt. Additionally, lenders for our mortgage loan transactions typically incorporated various covenants and other provisions (including loan to value ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and material adverse changes in the borrower’s or tenant’s business) that can cause a technical loan default. Accordingly, if the real estate value declines or the tenant defaults, the lender would have the right to foreclose on its security. If any of these events were to occur, it could cause us to lose part or all of our investment, which could reduce the value of our portfolio and revenues available for distribution to our stockholders. Some of our property-level financing may also require us to make a balloon payment at maturity. Our ability to make such balloon payments may depend upon our ability to refinance the obligation or sell the underlying property. When a balloon payment is due, however, we may be unable to refinance the balloon payment on terms as favorable as the original loan, make the payment with existing cash or cash resources, or sell the property at a price sufficient to cover the payment. Our ability to accomplish these goals will be affected by various factors existing at the relevant time, such as the state of national and regional economies, local real estate conditions, available mortgage or interest rates, availability of credit, our equity in the mortgaged properties, our financial condition, the operating history of the mortgaged properties, and tax laws. A refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to stockholders and the projected disposition timeline of our assets. Risks Related to our Corporate Structure and Maryland Law Our charter and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change of control transaction. Our charter, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes our board of directors (our “Board”) to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to limit any person to beneficial or constructive ownership of 9.8%, in either value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our aggregate outstanding shares of (i) common and preferred stock (excluding any outstanding shares of our common or preferred stock not treated as outstanding for federal income tax purposes) or (ii) common stock (excluding any of our outstanding shares of common stock not treated as outstanding for federal income tax purposes). Our Board, in its sole discretion, may exempt a person from such ownership limits, provided that they obtain such representations, covenants, and undertakings as appropriate to determine that the exemption would not affect our REIT status. Our Board may also increase or decrease the common stock ownership limit and/or the aggregate stock ownership limit, so long as the change would not result in five or fewer persons beneficially owning more than 49.9% in value of our outstanding stock. The ownership limits and other stock ownership restrictions contained in our charter may delay or prevent a transaction or change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Our Board may modify our authorized shares of stock of any class or series and may create and issue a class or series of common stock or preferred stock without stockholder approval. Our charter empowers our Board to, without stockholder approval, increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of our stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue; classify any unissued shares of common stock or preferred stock; reclassify any previously classified, but unissued, shares of common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of stock; and issue such shares of stock so classified or reclassified. Our Board may determine the relative rights, preferences, and privileges of any class or series of common stock or preferred stock issued. As a result, we may issue series or classes of common stock or preferred stock with preferences, dividends, powers, and rights (voting or otherwise) senior to the rights of current holders of our common stock. The issuance of any such classes or series of common stock or preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 13 Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control. Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or impeding a change of control that could provide our stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of our common stock, including: • • “business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock), or an affiliate thereof, for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes special appraisal rights and supermajority voting requirements on these combinations; and “control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of our company (defined as voting shares which, when aggregated with all other shares owned or controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares. The statute permits various exemptions from its provisions, including business combinations that are exempted by a board of directors prior to the time that the “interested stockholder” becomes an interested stockholder. Our Board has, by resolution, exempted any business combination between us and any person who is an existing, or becomes in the future, an “interested stockholder.” Consequently, the five-year prohibition and the supermajority vote requirements will not apply to business combinations between us and any such person. As a result, such person may be able to enter into business combinations with us that may not be in the best interest of our stockholders, without compliance with the supermajority vote requirements and the other provisions of the statute. Additionally, this resolution may be altered, revoked, or repealed in whole or in part at any time and we may opt back into the business combination provisions of the MGCL. If this resolution is revoked or repealed, the statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. In the case of the control share provisions of the MGCL, we have elected to opt out of these provisions of the MGCL pursuant to a provision in our bylaws. Additionally, Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permits our Board, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or our bylaws, to implement certain governance provisions, some of which we do not currently have. We have opted out of Section 3-803 of the MGCL, which permits a board of directors to be divided into classes pursuant to Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL. Any amendment or repeal of this resolution must be approved in the same manner as an amendment to our charter. The remaining provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our company or of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price. Our charter, our bylaws, and Maryland law also contain other provisions that may delay, defer, or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders. Risks Related to REIT Structure While we believe that we are properly organized as a REIT in accordance with applicable law, we cannot guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will find that we have qualified as a REIT. We believe that we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code beginning with our 2012 taxable year and that our current and anticipated investments and plan of operation will enable us to meet and continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. Investors should be aware, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or any court could take a position different from our own. Given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations, and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, no assurance can be given that we will qualify as a REIT for any particular year. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 14 Furthermore, our qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership, and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the quarterly asset tests under applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions and Treasury Regulations will depend on the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination. Our compliance with the REIT income and quarterly asset requirements also depends upon our ability to successfully manage the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. While we believe that we will satisfy these tests, we cannot guarantee that this will be the case on a continuing basis. If we fail to remain qualified as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at corporate income tax rates and would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders when computing our taxable income. If, in any taxable year, we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT and are not entitled to relief under the Internal Revenue Code, we will: • • • not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income; be subject to federal and state income tax, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 which was signed into law in the United States on August 16, 2022 and will be effective in 2023 (which introduced a 15% corporate minimum tax on certain corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases by certain corporations, among other changes), on our taxable income at regular corporate rate; and be barred from qualifying as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year when we were disqualified. Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to our stockholders, which in turn could have an adverse impact on the value of our common stock. This adverse impact could last for five or more years because, unless we are entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we will be taxed as a corporation beginning the year in which the failure occurs and for the following four years. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may need to borrow funds or liquidate some investments to pay the additional tax liability. Were this to occur, funds available for investment would be reduced. REIT qualification involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to our operations, as well as various factual determinations concerning matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. There are limited judicial or administrative interpretations of these provisions. Although we plan to continue to operate in a manner consistent with the REIT qualification rules, we cannot assure you that we will qualify in a given year or remain so qualified. If we fail to make required distributions, we may be subject to federal corporate income tax. We intend to declare regular quarterly distributions, the amount of which will be determined, and is subject to adjustment, by our Board. To continue to qualify and be taxed as a REIT, we will generally be required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain) each year to our stockholders. Generally, we expect to distribute all, or substantially all, of our REIT taxable income. If our cash available for distribution falls short of our estimates, we may be unable to maintain the proposed quarterly distributions that approximate our taxable income and we may fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT. In addition, our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to fund required distributions as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the recognition of income for federal income tax purposes or the effect of nondeductible expenditures (e.g., capital expenditures, payments of compensation for which Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction, the creation of reserves, or required debt service or amortization payments). To the extent we satisfy the 90% distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. We will also be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay out to our stockholders for a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, in order to continue to qualify as a REIT, any C corporation earnings and profits to which we succeed must be distributed as of the close of the taxable year in which we accumulate or acquire such C corporation’s earnings and profits. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 15 Because certain covenants in our debt instruments may limit our ability to make required REIT distributions, we could be subject to taxation. Our existing debt instruments include, and our future debt instruments may include, covenants that limit our ability to make required REIT distributions. If the limits set forth in these covenants prevent us from satisfying our REIT distribution requirements, we could fail to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a REIT. If the limits set forth in these covenants do not jeopardize our qualification for taxation as a REIT, but prevent us from distributing 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax, and potentially a nondeductible excise tax, on the retained amounts. Because we are required to satisfy numerous requirements imposed upon REITs, we may be required to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity on terms that are not favorable to us. In order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and maintain our qualification and taxation as a REIT, we may need to borrow funds, sell assets, or raise equity, even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for such transactions. If our cash flows are not sufficient to cover our REIT distribution requirements, it could adversely impact our ability to raise short- and long-term debt, sell assets, or offer equity securities in order to fund the distributions required to maintain our qualification and taxation as a REIT. Furthermore, the REIT distribution requirements may increase the financing we need to fund capital expenditures, future growth, and expansion initiatives, which would increase our total leverage. In addition, if we fail to comply with certain asset ownership tests at the end of any calendar quarter, we must generally correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions may reduce our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. Because the REIT rules require us to satisfy certain rules on an ongoing basis, our flexibility or ability to pursue otherwise attractive opportunities may be limited. To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders, and the ownership of our common stock. Compliance with these tests will require us to refrain from certain activities and may hinder our ability to make certain attractive investments, including the purchase of non- qualifying assets, the expansion of non-real estate activities, and investments in the businesses to be conducted by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), thereby limiting our opportunities and the flexibility to change our business strategy. Furthermore, acquisition opportunities in domestic and international markets may be adversely affected if we need or require target companies to comply with certain REIT requirements prior to closing on acquisitions. Also, please see the risk “There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain cash dividends” below. Because the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge effectively, the cost of our hedging may increase and we may incur tax liabilities. The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit our ability to hedge assets and liabilities that are not incurred to acquire or carry real estate. Generally, income from hedging transactions that have been properly identified for tax purposes (which we enter into to manage interest rate risk with respect to borrowings to acquire or carry real estate assets) and income from certain currency hedging transactions related to our non-U.S. operations, do not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests (such a hedging transaction is referred to as a “qualifying hedge”). In addition, if we enter into a qualifying hedge, but dispose of the underlying property (or a portion thereof) or the underlying debt (or a portion thereof) is extinguished, we can enter into a hedge of the original qualifying hedge, and income from the subsequent hedge will also not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs could be subject to tax on income or gains resulting from such hedges or expose us to greater interest rate risks than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in any of our TRSs generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward for use against future taxable income in the TRSs. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 16 We use TRSs, which may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we hold our non-qualifying REIT assets and conduct our non-qualifying REIT income activities in or through one or more TRSs. The net income of our TRSs is not required to be distributed to us. Income that is not distributed to us by our domestic TRSs will generally not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, certain income that is not distributed to us by our foreign TRSs may be deemed distributed to us by operation of certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Code and generally subject to REIT income distribution requirements. In addition, there may be limitations on our ability to accumulate earnings in our TRSs and the accumulation or reinvestment of significant earnings in our TRSs could result in adverse tax treatment. In particular, if the accumulation of cash in our TRSs causes the fair market value of our TRS interests and certain other non-qualifying assets to exceed 20% of the fair market value of our assets, we would lose tax efficiency and could potentially fail to qualify as a REIT. Because the REIT rules limit our ability to receive distributions from TRSs, our ability to fund distribution payments using cash generated through our TRSs may be limited. Our ability to receive distributions from our TRSs is limited by the rules we must comply with in order to maintain our REIT status. In particular, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year as a REIT must be derived from real estate-related sources, which principally includes gross income from the leasing of our properties. Consequently, no more than 25% of our gross income may consist of dividend income from our TRSs and other non- qualifying income types. Thus, our ability to receive distributions from our TRSs is limited and may impact our ability to fund distributions to our stockholders using cash flows from our TRSs. Specifically, if our TRSs become highly profitable, we might be limited in our ability to receive net income from our TRSs in an amount required to fund distributions to our stockholders commensurate with that profitability. Transactions with our TRSs could cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT to assure that the TRS is subject to an appropriate level of corporate taxation. The Internal Revenue Code also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We will monitor the value of investments in our TRSs in order to ensure compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with our TRSs on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or be able to avoid application of the 100% excise tax. Because distributions payable by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates, the value of our common stock could be adversely affected. Certain distributions payable by domestic or qualified foreign corporations to individuals, trusts, and estates in the United States are currently eligible for federal income tax at a maximum rate of 20% plus the 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income, if applicable. Distributions payable by REITs, in contrast, are generally not eligible for this reduced rate, unless the distributions are attributable to dividends received by the REIT from other corporations that would otherwise be eligible for the reduced rate. This more favorable tax rate for regular corporate distributions could cause qualified investors to perceive investments in REITs to be less attractive than investments in the stock of corporations that pay distributions, which could adversely affect the value of REIT stocks, including our common stock. Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, certain of our business activities will be subject to corporate level income tax and foreign taxes, which will continue to reduce our cash flows, and we will have potential deferred and contingent tax liabilities. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain (i) federal, state, local, and foreign taxes on our income and assets (including alternative minimum taxes for taxable years ending prior to January 1, 2018); (ii) taxes on any undistributed income and state, local, or foreign income; and (iii) franchise, property, and transfer taxes. In addition, we could be required to pay an excise or penalty tax under certain circumstances in order to utilize one or more relief provisions under the Internal Revenue Code to maintain qualification for taxation as a REIT, which could be significant in amount. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 17 Any TRS assets and operations would continue to be subject, as applicable, to federal and state corporate income taxes and to foreign taxes in the jurisdictions in which those assets and operations are located. Any of these taxes would decrease our earnings and our cash available for distributions to stockholders. We will also be subject to a federal corporate level tax at the highest regular corporate rate (currently 21%) on all or a portion of the gain recognized from a sale of assets formerly held by any C corporation that we acquire on a carry-over basis transaction occurring within a five-year period after we acquire such assets, to the extent the built-in gain based on the fair market value of those assets on the effective date of the REIT election is in excess of our then tax basis. The tax on subsequently sold assets will be based on the fair market value and built-in gain of those assets as of the beginning of our holding period. Gains from the sale of an asset occurring after the specified period will not be subject to this corporate level tax. We expect to have only a de minimis amount of assets subject to these corporate tax rules and do not expect to dispose of any significant assets subject to these corporate tax rules. Because dividends received by foreign stockholders are generally taxable, we may be required to withhold a portion of our distributions to such persons. Ordinary dividends received by foreign stockholders that are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business are generally subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless reduced by an applicable income tax treaty. Additional rules with respect to certain capital gain distributions will apply to foreign stockholders that own more than 10% of our common stock. The ability of our Board to revoke our REIT election, without stockholder approval, may cause adverse consequences for our stockholders. Our organizational documents permit our Board to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to be a REIT, we will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rate and state and local taxes, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our stockholders. Federal and state income tax laws governing REITs and related interpretations may change at any time, and any such legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on us and our stockholders. Federal and state income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time. Federal, state, and foreign tax laws are under constant review by persons involved in the legislative process, at the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and at various state and foreign tax authorities. Changes to tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could adversely affect us or our stockholders. We cannot predict whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations applicable to us or our stockholders may be changed. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that any such change will not significantly affect our ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences to you or us. Risks Related to Our Overall Business We are subject to the volatility of the capital markets, which may impact our ability to deploy capital. The trading volume and market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly and be adversely impacted in response to a number of factors. Therefore, our current or historical trading volume and share prices are not indicative of the number of shares of our common stock that will trade going forward or how the market will value shares of our common stock in the future. In addition, the capital markets may experience extreme volatility, disruption and periods of dislocation (e.g., during pandemics or a global financial crisis), which could make it more difficult for us to raise capital. Since net-lease REITs must be able to deploy capital with agility and consistency, if we cannot access the capital markets upon favorable terms or at all, we may be required to liquidate one or more investments, including when an investment has not yet realized its maximum return, which could also result in adverse tax consequences and affect our ability to capitalize on acquisition opportunities and/or meet operational needs. Moreover, market turmoil could lead to decreased consumer confidence and widespread reduction of business activity, which may materially and adversely impact us, including our ability to acquire and dispose of properties. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 18 Future issuances of debt and equity securities may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. We may issue debt or equity securities or incur additional borrowings in the future. Future issuances of debt securities would increase our interest costs and rank senior to our common stock upon our liquidation, and additional issuances of equity securities would dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders (and any preferred stock may rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of making distributions), both of which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. However, our future growth will depend, in part, upon our ability to raise additional capital, including through the issuance of debt and equity securities. Because our decision to issue additional debt or equity securities or incur additional borrowings in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature, or success of our future capital raising efforts. Thus, common stockholders bear the risk that our future issuances of debt or equity securities, or our incurrence of additional borrowings, will negatively affect the market price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain cash dividends. Our ability to continue to pay dividends in the future may be adversely affected by the risk factors described in this Report. More specifically, while we expect to continue our current dividend practices, we can give no assurance that we will be able to maintain dividend levels in the future for various reasons, including the following: • • • there is no assurance that rents from our properties will increase or that future acquisitions will increase our cash available for distribution to stockholders, and we may not have enough cash to pay such dividends due to changes in our cash requirements, capital plans, cash flow, or financial position; our Board, in its sole discretion, determines the amount and timing of any future dividend payments to our stockholders based on a number of factors, therefore our dividend levels are not guaranteed and may fluctuate; and the amount of dividends that our subsidiaries may distribute to us may be subject to restrictions imposed by law or regulators, as well as the terms of any current or future indebtedness that these subsidiaries may incur. Furthermore, certain agreements relating to our borrowings may, under certain circumstances, prohibit or otherwise restrict our ability to pay dividends to our common stockholders. Future dividends, if any, are expected to be based upon our earnings, financial condition, cash flows and liquidity, debt service requirements, capital expenditure requirements for our properties, financing covenants, and applicable law. If we do not have sufficient cash available to pay dividends, we may need to fund the shortage out of working capital or revenues from future acquisitions, if any, or borrow to provide funds for such dividends, which would reduce the amount of funds available for investment and increase our future interest costs. Our inability to pay dividends, or to pay dividends at expected levels, could adversely impact the market price of our common stock. Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial position and results of operations, and they require management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial position and results of operations. We have identified several accounting policies as being critical to the presentation of our financial position and results of operations because they require management to make particularly subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be recorded under different conditions or using different assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the estimates, judgments, and assumptions associated with these critical accounting policies, we cannot provide any assurance that we will not make significant subsequent adjustments to our consolidated financial statements. If our judgments, assumptions, and allocations prove to be incorrect, or if circumstances change, our business, financial condition, revenues, operating expense, results of operations, liquidity, ability to pay dividends, or stock price may be materially adversely affected. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 19 We may make investments in asset classes or countries outside of our core investment strategy which may be perceived as complicating our strategy relative to our peers. We may need to expand beyond our current asset class mix to growth our portfolio. As a result, we intend, to the extent that market conditions warrant, to seek to grow our businesses by increasing our investments in existing businesses, pursuing new investment strategies (including investment opportunities in new asset classes), developing new types of investment structures and products, and expanding into new geographic markets and businesses. Introducing new types of investment structures and products could increase the complexities involved in managing such investments, including to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and terms of the investment. Making investments in assets classes or countries outside of our core investment strategy may also be perceived as complicating our strategy relative to our peers. Entry into asset classes or countries may subject us to new laws and regulations with which we are not familiar, or from which we are currently exempt, and may lead to increased litigation and regulatory risk and costs. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes and foreign exchange rate changes may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The interest rate and foreign exchange rate hedge instruments we may use to manage some of our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate volatility involve risk, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements. Failure to hedge effectively against such interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future success depends on the successful recruitment and retention of personnel, including our executives. Our future success depends in large part on our ability to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified and diverse personnel. Failure to recruit from a diverse pool of qualified candidates, particularly in light of recent labor shortages could negatively impact the dynamic growth of our company. In addition, the nature of our executive officers’ experience and the extent of the relationships they have developed with real estate professionals and financial institutions are important to the success of our business. We cannot provide any assurances regarding their continued employment with us. The loss of the services of certain of our executive officers could detrimentally affect our business and prospects, and a sustained labor shortage or increased turnover rates among our employees, could increase costs and materially adversely affect our business. The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cyber security, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results. A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information resources, which could be an intentional attack or an unintentional accident or error. We use information technology and other computer resources to carry out important operational activities and to maintain our business records. With the advent of remote work environments and technologies, we face heightened cybersecurity risks as our employees and counterparties increasingly depend on the internet and face greater exposure to malware and phishing attacks. These heightened cybersecurity risks may increase our vulnerability to cyber-attacks and cause disruptions to our internal control procedures. In addition, we may store or come into contact with sensitive information and data. If we or our third-party service providers fail to comply with applicable privacy or data security laws in handling this information, including the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, we could face significant legal and financial exposure to claims of governmental agencies and parties whose privacy is compromised, including sizable fines and penalties. We have implemented processes, procedures, and controls intended to address ongoing and evolving cyber security risks, but these measures, as well as our increased awareness of a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that our financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident. The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our tenants, and private data exposure. A significant and extended disruption could damage our business or reputation; cause a loss of revenue; have an adverse effect on tenant relations; cause an unintended or unauthorized public disclosure; or lead to the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying and confidential information; all of which could result in us incurring significant expenses to address and remediate or otherwise resolve these kinds of issues. There can be no assurance that the insurance we maintain to cover some of these risks will be sufficient to cover the losses from any future breaches of our systems. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 20 Our business may continue to be adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are unable to predict the impact of ongoing disruptions caused by additional surges and strains of COVID-19 transmission. The economic downturn and market volatility caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has already eroded the financial condition of certain of our tenants and operating properties; therefore, we cannot predict the impact that COVID-19 will continue to have on our tenants’ ability to pay rent and any information provided regarding historical rent collections should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections. We also cannot assure you that conditions in the bank lending, capital, and other financial markets will not deteriorate as a result of the continued impact of COVID-19, causing our access to capital and other sources of funding to become constrained, which could adversely affect the terms or even availability of future borrowings, renewals, and refinancings. Changes in laws and regulatory policies, including any governmental actions related to COVID-19 and the effects of fiscal and monetary policy changes, could result in business disruptions and subject us to additional market volatility and risks.

Significant Developments Board of Directors Change On December 12, 2022, we announced that Ms. Elisabeth Stheeman, age 58, was appointed to our Board. Please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 12, 2022 for additional information. Financial Highlights During the year ended December 31, 2022, we completed the following (as further described in the consolidated financial statements): Real Estate CPA:18 Merger On August 1, 2022, we completed the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). • We acquired full or partial ownership interests in 42 properties in the CPA:18 Merger (including seven properties in which we already owned a partial ownership interest), substantially all of which were triple-net leased with a weighted-average lease term of 7.0 years, an occupancy rate of 99.3%, and an estimated ABR totaling $81.0 million. We also acquired 65 self-storage operating properties and two student housing operating properties totaling 5.1 million square feet. The related property-level debt was comprised of non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate consolidated fair value of approximately $900.2 million with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 5.1% as of August 1, 2022. • We issued the following to CPA:18 – Global stockholders as part of the merger consideration: (i) 13,786,302 shares of our common stock of approximately $1.2 billion, (ii) $3.00 per share of cash consideration totaling approximately $423.3 million, and (iii) cash of $0.1 million paid in lieu of issuing any fractional shares of our common stock. Lease revenues and operating property revenues from properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger were $42.7 million and $39.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022. • • We recognized a Gain on change in control of interests of $33.9 million in connection with the CPA:18 Merger during the year ended December 31, 2022, of which $11.4 million was attributable to our Real Estate segment and $22.5 million was attributable to our Investment Management segment. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 23 Investments • We acquired 23 investments totaling $1.2 billion (Note 5, Note 6). • We completed six construction projects at a cost totaling $148.1 million (Note 5). • We funded approximately $89.5 million for a construction loan to build a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, during the year ended December 31, 2022. Through December 31, 2022, we have funded $193.2 million (Note 8). • We committed to fund six build-to-suit or redevelopment projects totaling $20.3 million. We currently expect to complete the projects in 2023 (Note 5). Dispositions • We disposed of 23 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $234.7 million (Note 16). • • In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (Note 9). In October 2022, we received $82.6 million in cash proceeds as a result of certain private real estate funds’ acquisition of all outstanding shares of WLT common stock. As of the date of acquisition, we owned 12,208,243 shares of WLT common stock. Upon completion of this transaction, we have no remaining interest in WLT (Note 9). Financing and Capital Markets Transactions • In April 2022, we increased the Term Loan to £270.0 million and the Delayed Draw Term Loan to €215.0 million, thereby increasing the total capacity of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to approximately $2.4 billion. We used the approximately $300 million of proceeds from this increase in the capacity of our Unsecured Term Loans to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (Note 11). • On May 2, 2022, we established a $1.0 billion ATM Program, under which we may issue shares directly or defer delivery to a later date through our ATM Forwards (Note 13). • We issued 2,740,295 shares of our common stock under our prior ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $80.79 per share, for net proceeds of $218.1 million (Note 13). • We settled our remaining Equity Forwards by delivering 3,925,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $284.3 million (Note 13). • As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $530.0 million of available proceeds under our ATM Forwards (Note 13). • On September 28, 2022, we completed a private placement of (i) €150 million of 3.41% Senior Notes due 2029, which have a seven-year term and are scheduled to mature on September 28, 2029, and (ii) €200 million of 3.70% Senior Notes due 2032, which have a ten-year term and are scheduled to mature on September 28, 2032 (Note 11). Investment Management • Upon completion of the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), we ceased earning advisory fees and other income previously earned when we served as advisor to CPA:18 – Global. During the year ended December 31, 2022, through the date of the CPA:18 Merger, such fees and other income from CPA:18 – Global totaled $17.9 million. Investment Management fees and other income are expected to be minimal going forward. Dividends to Stockholders We declared cash dividends totaling $4.242 per share, comprised of four quarterly dividends per share of $1.057, $1.059, $1.061, and $1.065. W. P.

See Supplemental Financial Measures below for our definition of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. Revenues Real Estate revenue increased in 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to higher lease revenues (substantially as a result of property acquisition activity and rent escalations, as well as the net-leased properties we acquired in the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), partially offset by the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling) and higher operating property revenues (primarily from the operating properties we acquired in the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3)), partially offset by lower other lease-related income (Note 5). Net Income Attributable to W. P. Carey Net income attributable to W. P. Carey increased in 2022 as compared to 2021. Net income from Real Estate attributable to W. P. Carey increased primarily due to a lower loss on extinguishment of debt (Note 11), non-cash unrealized gains recognized on our investment in common shares of WLT (Note 9), and the impact of real estate acquisitions, partially offset by higher interest expense and the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling. In addition, we recognized non-cash unrealized gains on our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics during both the current and prior year (Note 9). Net income from Investment Management attributable to W. P. Carey decreased primarily due to an impairment charge recognized on goodwill within our Investment Management segment (Note 9). In addition, we recognized a gain on change in control of interests during the current year in connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 25 AFFO AFFO increased in 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to investment activity and rent escalations, higher other lease-related income (on an AFFO basis), and the accretive impact of the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), partially offset by the impact of the weakening euro and British pound sterling and higher interest expense. Portfolio Overview Our portfolio is comprised of operationally-critical, commercial real estate assets net leased to tenants located primarily in the United States and Northern and Western Europe. We invest in high-quality single tenant industrial, warehouse, office, retail, and self-storage (net lease) properties subject to long-term leases with built-in rent escalators.

Rent Collections Through the date of this Report, we received from tenants over 99.3% of contractual base rent that was due during the fourth quarter of 2022 (based on contractual minimum ABR as of September 30, 2022). Terms and Definitions Pro Rata Metrics —The portfolio information above contains certain metrics prepared on a pro rata basis. We refer to these metrics as pro rata metrics. We have a number of investments, usually with our affiliates, in which our economic ownership is less than 100%. On a full consolidation basis, we report 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of those investments that are deemed to be under our control or for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, even if our ownership is less than 100%. Also, for all other jointly owned investments, which we do not control, we report our net investment and our net income or loss from that investment. On a pro rata basis, we generally present our proportionate share, based on our economic ownership of these jointly owned investments, of the portfolio metrics of those investments. Multiplying each of our jointly owned investments’ financial statement line items by our percentage ownership and adding or subtracting those amounts from our totals, as applicable, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding an ownership interest of less than 100% in our jointly owned investments. ABR — ABR represents contractual minimum annualized base rent for our net-leased properties and reflects exchange rates as of December 31, 2022. If there is a rent abatement, we annualize the first monthly contractual base rent following the free rent period. ABR is not applicable to operating properties. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 31 Results of Operations We operate in two reportable segments: Real Estate and Investment Management. We evaluate our results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality, and number of properties in our Real Estate segment. We focus our efforts on accretive investing and improving portfolio quality through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively selling assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. Through our Investment Management segment, we expect to continue to earn fees and other income from the management of the CESH portfolio until it reaches the end of its life cycle. Refer to Note 17 for tables presenting the comparative results of our Real Estate and Investment Management segments. Real Estate Revenues The following table presents revenues within our Real Estate segment (in thousands): Real Estate Revenues Lease revenues from: Existing net-leased properties Recently acquired net-leased properties Net-leased properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger Net-leased properties sold or held for sale Total lease revenues (including reimbursable tenant costs) Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable Operating property revenues from: Operating properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger Existing operating properties Total operating property revenues Other lease-related income Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Change $ $ 1,110,502 $ 140,431 36,040 14,644 1,301,617 74,266 39,193 20,037 59,230 32,988 1,468,101 $ 1,103,945 $ 53,687 — 19,806 1,177,438 67,555 — 13,478 13,478 53,655 1,312,126 $ 6,557 86,744 36,040 (5,162) 124,179 6,711 39,193 6,559 45,752 (20,667) 155,975 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 32 Lease Revenues “Existing net-leased properties” are those that we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2021 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. For the periods presented, there were 1,108 existing net-leased properties. For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, lease revenues from existing net-leased properties increased due to the following items (in millions): __________ (a) Excludes fixed minimum rent increases, which are reflected as straight-line rent adjustments within lease revenues. (b) Primarily related to (i) straight-line rent adjustments and (ii) write-offs of above/below-market rent intangibles. “Recently acquired net-leased properties” are those that we acquired or placed into service subsequent to December 31, 2020 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. Since January 1, 2021, we acquired 48 investments (comprised of 192 properties and six land parcels under buildings that we already own) and placed three properties into service. “Net-leased properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger” on August 1, 2022 (Note 3) consisted of 38 net-leased properties, which contributed five months of lease revenue, depreciation and amortization, and property expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022. “Net-leased properties sold or held for sale” include (i) 23 net-leased properties disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2022; (ii) three net-leased properties classified as held for sale at December 31, 2022, one of which was sold in January 2023 (Note 5, Note 18); and (iii) 24 net-leased properties disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2021. Our dispositions are more fully described in Note 16. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 33 Income from Direct Financing Leases and Loans Receivable For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, income from direct financing leases and loans receivable decreased due to the following items (in millions): Operating Property Revenues and Expenses “Operating properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger” on August 1, 2022 (Note 3) consisted of 65 self-storage properties and two student housing properties, which contributed five months of operating property revenues, depreciation and amortization, and operating property expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022. “Existing operating properties” are those that we acquired or placed into service prior to January 1, 2021 and that were not sold or held for sale during the periods presented. For the periods presented, we recorded operating property revenues from 11 existing operating properties, comprised of ten self-storage operating properties (which excludes nine self-storage properties accounted for under the equity method) and one hotel operating property. For our hotel operating property, revenues and expenses increased by $4.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, reflecting higher occupancy as the hotel’s business recovers from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Other Lease-Related Income Other lease-related income is described in Note 5. Operating Expenses Depreciation and Amortization For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, depreciation and amortization expense for net-leased properties and self-storage operating properties increased primarily due to the impact of net acquisition activity (including properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3)), partially offset by the weakening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro and British pound sterling) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 34 General and Administrative All general and administrative expenses are recognized within our Real Estate segment. For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by $7.1 million, primarily due to higher compensation expense, increased professional fees resulting from the CPA:18 Merger, and higher travel costs. Property Expenses, Excluding Reimbursable Tenant Costs For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, property expenses, excluding reimbursable tenant costs, increased by $2.9 million, primarily due to due to tenant vacancies during 2021 and 2022 (which resulted in property expenses no longer being reimbursable) and property expenses incurred on acquisitions since January 1, 2021 (Note 3). Impairment Charges Our impairment charges are described in Note 9. Stock-based Compensation Expense For a description of our equity plans and awards, please see Note 14. Stock-based compensation expense is fully recognized within our Real Estate segment. For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, stock-based compensation expense increased by $8.0 million, primarily due to changes in the projected payout for performance share units. Merger and Other Expenses For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, merger and other expenses are primarily comprised of costs incurred in connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3) and/or reversals of estimated liabilities for German real estate transfer taxes that were previously recorded in connection with mergers in prior years. Other Income and (Expenses), and (Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes Interest Expense For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, interest expense increased by $22.3 million, primarily due to (i) $20.1 million of interest expense incurred from August through December 2022 related to non-recourse mortgage loans assumed in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), (ii) higher outstanding balances and interest rates on our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, and (iii) five senior unsecured notes issuances totaling $1.7 billion (based on the exchange rate of the euro on the dates of issuance for our euro-denominated senior unsecured notes) with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.1% completed since January 1, 2021, partially offset by (i) the weakening of foreign currencies (primarily the euro and British pound sterling) in relation to the U.S. dollar between the periods and (ii) the reduction of our mortgage debt outstanding by prepaying or repaying at or close to maturity a total of $892.9 million of non-recourse mortgage loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.8% since January 1, 2021. The following table presents certain information about our outstanding debt (dollars in thousands): Average outstanding debt balance Weighted-average interest rate Years Ended December 31, 2022 7,392,208 $ 2.7 % 2021 6,906,997 2.6 % $ The weighted-average interest rate for our debt instruments as of December 31, 2022 increased to 3.0% as compared to 2.5% as of December 31, 2021, and is expected to be further impacted by rising interest rates over the next year. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 35 Other Gains and (Losses) Other gains and (losses) primarily consists of gains and losses on (i) the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, (ii) extinguishment of debt, and (iii) foreign currency exchange rate movements. The timing and amount of such gains or losses cannot always be estimated and are subject to fluctuation. All of our foreign currency-denominated unsecured debt instruments were designated as net investment hedges during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Therefore, no gains and losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements were recognized on the remeasurement of such instruments during those periods (Note 10). The following table presents other gains and (losses) within our Real Estate segment (in thousands): Other Gains and (Losses) Non-cash unrealized gains related to an increase in the fair value of our investment in common shares of WLT (Note 9) Non-cash unrealized gains related to an increase in the fair value of our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (Note 9) Net realized and unrealized losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements Non-cash unrealized gains related to an increase in the fair value of our investment in preferred (a) shares of WLT (Note 9) Change in allowance for credit losses on finance receivables (Note 6) Gain on repayment of secured loan receivable Adjustment to insurance receivable acquired as part of a prior merger Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt Other (d) (b) (c) Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Change $ 49,233 $ — $ 49,233 38,582 (26,866) 18,688 14,363 10,613 (9,358) 1,301 593 97,149 $ 76,312 (15,608) — (266) — — (75,339) 1,225 (13,676) $ (37,730) (11,258) 18,688 14,629 10,613 (9,358) 76,640 (632) 110,825 $ __________ (a) We make certain foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans to a number of our foreign subsidiaries, most of which do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and amortizing loans, are included in other gains and (losses). (b) We acquired a secured loan receivable with a fair value of $23.4 million in our merger with a former affiliate, Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, in October 2018 (“CPA:17 Merger”), for which the outstanding principal of $34.0 million was fully repaid to us in September 2022 (Note 6). Therefore, we recorded a $10.6 million gain on repayment of this secured loan receivable. (c) This insurance receivable was acquired in the CPA:17 Merger. (d) Amount for the year ended December 31, 2021 is related to the prepayment of mortgage loans (primarily comprised of prepayment penalties totaling $45.2 million) and redemption of the €500.0 million of 2.0% Senior Notes due 2023 in March 2021 (primarily comprised of a “make-whole” amount of $26.2 million related to the redemption) (Note 11). Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net Gain on sale of real estate, net, consists of gain on the sale of properties that were disposed of during the reporting period. Our dispositions are more fully described in Note 16. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 36 Non-Operating Income Non-operating income primarily consists of realized gains and losses on derivative instruments, dividends from equity securities, and interest income on our loans to affiliates and cash deposits.

Carey 2022 10-K – 37 (Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes For the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, provision for income taxes within our Real Estate segment decreased by $7.3 million, primarily due to (i) deferred tax benefits totaling $3.5 million recognized during 2022 related to the release of valuation allowances on certain foreign properties, (ii) trade taxes of $1.8 million recognized during 2021 as a result of the completion of a tax review on a portfolio of properties in Germany, and (iii) tax benefits of $0.7 million recognized on certain foreign properties during 2022 as a result of a tax court ruling. Investment Management We earn revenue as the advisor to the Managed Programs. For the periods presented, we acted as advisor to the following Managed Programs: CPA:18 – Global (through August 1, 2022), CWI 1 and CWI 2 (through April 13, 2020), and CESH. Upon completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), the advisory agreement with CPA:18 – Global was terminated, and we ceased earning revenue from CPA:18 – Global. The CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger closed on April 13, 2020, and as a result, CWI 2 was renamed Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc., for which we provided certain services pursuant to a transition services agreement, which was terminated on October 13, 2021 (Note 4). We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but we currently expect to continue managing CESH and earn the various fees described below through the end of its life cycle (Note 1, Note 4). Revenues The following table presents revenues within our Investment Management segment (in thousands): Investment Management Revenues Asset management and other revenue CPA:18 – Global CESH Reimbursable costs from affiliates CPA:18 – Global CESH WLT Asset Management and Other Revenue Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Change $ $ 6,956 $ 1,511 8,467 2,040 478 — 2,518 10,985 $ 12,528 $ 2,835 15,363 2,874 878 283 4,035 19,398 $ (5,572) (1,324) (6,896) (834) (400) (283) (1,517) (8,413) During the periods presented, we earned asset management revenue from (i) CPA:18 – Global (prior to the CPA:18 Merger) based on the value of its real estate-related assets under management and (ii) CESH based on its gross assets under management at fair value. For 2022, we received asset management fees from (i) CPA:18 – Global in shares of its common stock through February 28, 2022; effective as of March 1, 2022, we receive asset management fees from CPA:18 – Global in cash in light of the CPA:18 Merger, which closed on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), and (ii) CESH in cash. Asset management revenues from CESH are expected to decline as assets are sold. Operating Expenses Impairment Charges — Investment Management Goodwill Our impairment charges on Investment Management goodwill are more fully described in Note 9. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 38 Other Income and Expenses, and (Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes Earnings from Equity Method Investments in the Managed Programs The following table presents the details of our earnings from equity method investments in the Managed Programs (Note 8) (in thousands): Earnings from equity method investments in the Managed Programs: Distributions of Available Cash from CPA:18 – Global Earnings from equity method investments in the Managed Programs (a) (a) (b) Earnings from equity method investments in the Managed Programs __________ Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ 8,746 $ 4,542 13,288 $ 7,345 1,475 8,820 (a) As a result of the completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), we no longer recognize equity income from our investment in shares of common stock of CPA:18 – Global or receive distributions of Available Cash from CPA:18 – Global. (b) The increase for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to an increase of $3.1 million from our investment in shares of CPA:18 – Global. (Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes For the year ended December 31, 2022 we recorded a provision for income taxes of $6.3 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.2 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021, within our Investment Management segment. During 2022, in connection with the CPA:18 Merger, we incurred one-time current taxes upon the recognition of taxable income associated with the accelerated vesting of shares previously issued by CPA:18 – Global to us for asset management services performed. Liquidity and Capital Resources Sources and Uses of Cash During the Year We use the cash flow generated from our investments primarily to meet our operating expenses, service debt, and fund dividends to stockholders. Our cash flows fluctuate periodically due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things: the timing of our equity and debt offerings; the timing of purchases and sales of real estate; the timing of the repayment of mortgage loans and receipt of lease revenues; the timing and amount of other lease-related payments; the timing of settlement of foreign currency transactions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and the timing of distributions from equity method investments. We no longer receive certain fees and distributions from CPA:18 – Global following the completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3). Despite these fluctuations, we believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from dispositions of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities, such as issuances of common stock through our ATM Forwards (Note 13), in order to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our sources and uses of cash during the period are described below. Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $77.1 million during 2022 as compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase in cash flow generated from net investment activity (including properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3)) and scheduled rent increases at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense and merger expenses recognized during the current year related to the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 39 Investing Activities — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate-related transactions (purchases and sales) and funding for build-to-suit activities and other capital expenditures on real estate. In connection with the CPA:18 Merger, we paid $423.4 million in cash consideration, and acquired $331.1 million of cash and restricted cash. We received $147.6 million of proceeds from the redemption of WLT preferred stock and cash exchanged for WLT common stock (Note 9). In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we used $26.0 million to fund short-term loans to the Managed Programs, all of which were repaid during that period (Note 4). We also received $7.1 million in distributions from equity method investments. Financing Activities — Our financing activities are generally comprised of borrowings and repayments under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans, issuances of the Senior Unsecured Notes, payments and prepayments of non-recourse mortgage loans, and payments of dividends to stockholders. In addition to these types of transactions, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we received (i) $284.3 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our Equity Forwards (Note 14) and (ii) $218.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of shares under our prior ATM Program (Note 14). Summary of Financing The table below summarizes our Senior Unsecured Notes, our non-recourse mortgages, and our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (dollars in thousands): Carrying Value Fixed rate: Senior Unsecured Notes Non-recourse mortgages (a) (a) Variable rate: (a) Unsecured Term Loans Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility Non-recourse mortgages Floating interest rate mortgage loans Amount subject to interest rate swaps and caps (a) : Percent of Total Debt Fixed rate Variable rate Weighted-Average Interest Rate at End of Year Fixed rate Variable rate Total debt (b) ____________ December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ 5,916,400 824,270 6,740,670 552,539 276,392 213,958 94,189 1,137,078 7,877,748 $ $ 5,701,913 235,898 5,937,811 310,583 410,596 53,571 79,055 853,805 6,791,616 86 % 14 % 100 % 2.9 % 3.6 % 3.0 % 87 % 13 % 100 % 2.7 % 1.1 % 2.5 % (a) Aggregate debt balance includes unamortized discount, net, totaling $35.9 million and $30.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $26.0 million and $28.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (b) The impact of our interest rate swaps and caps is reflected in the weighted-average interest rates. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 40 Cash Resources At December 31, 2022, our cash resources consisted of the following: • • • • cash and cash equivalents totaling $168.0 million. Of this amount, $96.6 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign subsidiaries, and we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts; our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, with available capacity of $1.5 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $0.6 million); available proceeds under our ATM Forwards of approximately $530.0 million; and unleveraged properties that had an aggregate asset carrying value of approximately $13.1 billion at December 31, 2022, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties. We may also access the capital markets through additional debt (denominated in both U.S. dollars and euros) and equity offerings. Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments and may be used for future investments. Cash Requirements and Liquidity As of December 31, 2022, we had (i) $168.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, (ii) approximately $1.5 billion of available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $0.6 million), and (iii) available proceeds under our ATM Forwards of approximately $530.0 million. Our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility includes a $1.8 billion Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans outstanding totaling $552.5 million as of December 31, 2022 (Note 11), and is scheduled to mature on February 20, 2025. As of December 31, 2022, scheduled debt principal payments total $456.7 million through December 31, 2023 and $1.7 billion through December 31, 2024, and our Senior Unsecured Notes do not start to mature until April 2024 (Note 11). During the next 12 months following December 31, 2022 and thereafter, we expect that our significant cash requirements will include: • paying dividends to our stockholders; (which we expect to be higher, following the issuance of 13,786,302 shares of our common stock in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3)); funding acquisitions of new investments (Note 5); • funding future capital commitments and tenant improvement allowances (Note 5); • • making scheduled principal and balloon payments on our debt obligations (Note 11); • making scheduled interest payments on our debt obligations (future interest payments total $927.7 million, with $231.6 million due during the next 12 months; interest on unhedged variable-rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rates and balances outstanding at December 31, 2022); and other normal recurring operating expenses. • We expect to fund these cash requirements through cash generated from operations, cash received from dispositions of properties, the use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (as described above), issuances of common stock through our ATM Program (Note 13), and potential issuances of additional debt or equity securities. We may also choose to prepay certain of our non-recourse mortgage loan obligations, depending on our capital needs and market conditions at that time. Our liquidity could be adversely affected by unanticipated costs, greater-than-anticipated operating expenses, and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. To the extent that our working capital reserve is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, additional funds may be provided from cash from operations to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We may also use existing cash resources, available capacity under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, mortgage loan proceeds, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities to meet these needs. Certain amounts disclosed above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at December 31, 2022. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 41 Environmental Obligations In connection with the purchase of many of our properties, we required the sellers to perform environmental reviews. We believe, based on the results of these reviews, that our properties were in substantial compliance with federal, state, and foreign environmental statutes at the time the properties were acquired. However, portions of certain properties have been subject to some degree of contamination, principally in connection with leakage from underground storage tanks, surface spills, or other on-site activities. In most instances where contamination has been identified, tenants are actively engaged in the remediation process and addressing identified conditions. We believe that the ultimate resolution of any environmental matters should not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. We record environmental obligations within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of potential environmental risks. Critical Accounting Estimates Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2. Many of these accounting policies require judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions when applying these policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments based on historical experience as well as other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subject to change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Certain accounting policies, while significant, may not require the use of estimates. Those accounting policies that require significant estimation and/or judgment are described under Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Note 2. Supplemental Financial Measures In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. Additionally, in the formulation of our goals and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our strategies, we use Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and AFFO, which are non-GAAP measures defined by our management. We believe that these measures are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. A description of FFO and AFFO and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below. Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure, when used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental non-GAAP measure. FFO is not equivalent to, nor a substitute for, net income or loss as determined under GAAP. We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in December 2018. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment charges on real estate or other assets incidental to the company’s main business, gains or losses on changes in control of interests in real estate, and depreciation and amortization from real estate assets; and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments are calculated to reflect FFO. We also modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to adjust GAAP net income for certain non-cash charges, such as amortization of real estate-related intangibles, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, straight-line rent and related reserves, other non-cash rent adjustments, non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases, stock-based compensation, non-cash environmental accretion expense, amortization of discounts and premiums on debt, and amortization of deferred financing costs. Our assessment of our operations is focused on long-term sustainability and not on such non-cash items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on cash flows. Additionally, we exclude non-core income and expenses, such as gains or losses from extinguishment of debt, and merger and acquisition expenses. We also exclude realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign currency exchange rate movements (other than those realized on the settlement of foreign currency derivatives), which are not considered fundamental attributes of our business plan W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 42 and do not affect our overall long-term operating performance. We refer to our modified definition of FFO as AFFO. We exclude these items from GAAP net income to arrive at AFFO as they are not the primary drivers in our decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors a view of our portfolio performance over time and makes it more comparable to other REITs that are currently not engaged in acquisitions, mergers, and restructuring, which are not part of our normal business operations. AFFO also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. We use AFFO as one measure of our operating performance when we formulate corporate goals, evaluate the effectiveness of our strategies, and determine executive compensation. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider as we believe it will help them to better assess the sustainability of our operating performance without the potentially distorting impact of these short-term fluctuations. However, there are limits on the usefulness of AFFO to investors. For example, impairment charges and unrealized foreign currency losses that we exclude may become actual realized losses upon the ultimate disposition of the properties in the form of lower cash proceeds or other considerations. We use our FFO and AFFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO and AFFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net income computed under GAAP, or as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities computed under GAAP, or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

(b) Amount for the year ended December 31, 2022 represents a gain recognized on our previously held interest in shares of CPA:18 – Global common stock in connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). (c) Amount for the year ended December 31, 2022 represents an impairment charge recognized on goodwill within our Investment Management segment, since future Investment Management cash flows are expected to be minimal (Note 7, Note 9). (d) Amount for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes our $4.6 million proportionate share of an impairment charge recognized on an equity method investment in real estate (Note 8). Amount for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6.8 million recognized on an equity method investment in real estate (Note 9) (e) Equity income, including amounts that are not typically recognized for FFO and AFFO, is recognized within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments on the consolidated statements of income. This represents adjustments to equity income to reflect FFO and AFFO on a pro rata basis. (f) Adjustments disclosed elsewhere in this reconciliation are on a consolidated basis. This adjustment reflects our FFO or AFFO on a pro rata basis. (g) Primarily comprised of gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, the mark-to-market fair value of equity securities, and foreign currency exchange rate movements, as well as non-cash allowance for credit losses on loans receivable and direct financing leases. (h) Amount for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes an adjustment to exclude $37.8 million of lease termination fees received from a tenant, as such amount was determined to be non-core income (Note 5). (i) Amounts for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are primarily comprised of costs incurred in connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3) and/or reversals of estimated liabilities for German real estate transfer taxes that were previously recorded in connection with mergers in prior years. While we believe that FFO and AFFO are important supplemental measures, they should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of a company’s operating performance. These non-GAAP measures should be used in conjunction with net income as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO, or similarly titled measures disclosed by other REITs, may not be comparable to our FFO and AFFO measures. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 45 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Market Risk Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk; however, we do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative purposes. From time to time, we may enter into foreign currency collars to hedge our foreign currency cash flow exposures. We are also exposed to further market risk as a result of tenant concentrations in certain industries and/or geographic regions, since adverse market factors (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) can affect the ability of tenants in a particular industry/region to meet their respective lease obligations. In order to manage this risk, we view our collective tenant roster as a portfolio and we attempt to diversify such portfolio so that we are not overexposed to a particular industry or geographic region. Interest Rate Risk The values of our real estate and related fixed-rate debt obligations, as well as the values of our unsecured debt obligations, are subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations based on local and regional economic conditions (including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled, if we do not choose to repay the debt when due. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the fair value of our assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants. We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, we are subject to variable-rate interest on our Unsecured Term Loans, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and certain of our non-recourse mortgage debt. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties related to certain of our variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans. See Note 10 for additional information on our interest rate swaps and caps. At December 31, 2022, a significant portion (approximately 86.8%) of our long-term debt either bore interest at fixed rates or was swapped or capped to a fixed rate. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Note 11 and Liquidity and Capital Resources — Summary of Financing in Item 7 above. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations outstanding at December 31, 2022 (in thousands): Fixed-rate debt Variable-rate debt (a) (b) (a) 2023 239,146 $ 217,562 $ 2024 1,195,330 $ 36,138 $ 2025 791,654 $ 872,622 $ 2026 972,135 $ 11,290 $ 2027 533,760 $ — $ $ $ Thereafter 3,070,039 $ — $ Total 6,802,064 $ 1,137,612 $ Fair Value 6,041,968 1,135,000 __________ (a) Amounts are based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2022, as applicable. (b) Amounts after 2023 are primarily comprised of principal payments for our Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 11). The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, or that has been subject to interest rate caps, is affected by changes in interest rates. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt that does not bear interest at fixed rates at December 31, 2022 would increase or decrease by $5.9 million for our euro-denominated debt, by $3.7 million for our British pound sterling-denominated debt, by $0.3 million for U.S. dollar-denominated debt, and by $0.2 million for our Japanese yen-denominated debt for each respective 1% change in annual interest rates. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 46 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk We own international investments, primarily in Europe, Canada, and Japan, and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in various foreign currencies, primarily the euro, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Japanese yen, and certain other currencies which may affect future costs and cash flows. We have obtained, and may in the future obtain, non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. We have also completed several offerings of euro-denominated senior notes, and have borrowed under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility in foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound sterling, and Japanese yen (Note 11). Volatile market conditions arising from the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, as well as other macroeconomic factors, may result in significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues, as translated to U.S. dollars, the change in debt service (comprised of principal and interest, excluding balloon payments), as translated to U.S. dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and, to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We estimate that, for a 1% increase or decrease in the exchange rate between the euro, British pound sterling, or Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar, there would be a corresponding change in the projected estimated cash flow (scheduled future rental revenues, net of scheduled future debt service payments for the next 12 months) for our consolidated foreign operations at December 31, 2022 of $2.7 million, $0.3 million, and less than $0.1 million, respectively, excluding the impact of our derivative instruments. In addition, we may use currency hedging to further reduce the exposure to our equity cash flow. We are generally a net receiver of these currencies (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar, relative to the foreign currency. We enter into foreign currency collars to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures. See Note 10 for additional information on our foreign currency collars. Concentration of Credit Risk Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities or have similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is well-diversified, it does contain concentrations in certain areas. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our consolidated portfolio had the following significant characteristics in excess of 10%, based on the percentage of our consolidated total revenues: • • 67% related to domestic operations; and 33% related to international operations. At December 31, 2022, our net-lease portfolio, which excludes our operating properties, had the following significant property and lease characteristics in excess of 10% in certain areas, based on the percentage of our ABR as of that date: • • • • 63% related to domestic properties; 37% related to international properties; 27% related to industrial facilities, 24% related to warehouse facilities, 17% related to office facilities, and 17% related to retail facilities; and 21% related to the retail stores industry (including automotive dealerships).

W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 48 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of W. P. Carey Inc. Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of W. P. Carey Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. Basis for Opinions The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 49 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Purchase Price Allocation for Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, management determines whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not a business, management accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. As described in Note 5, the Company completed real estate asset acquisitions with total capitalized costs of $1.2 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. As described in Note 3, the Company accounted for the CPA:18 Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting for total merger consideration of approximately $1.6 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. Land is typically valued utilizing the sales comparison (or market) approach. Buildings are valued, as if vacant, using the cost and/or income approach. Under the income approach, management uses either the discounted cash flow method or the direct capitalization method. For the discounted cash flow method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by applying a discounted cash flow analysis to the estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio during the remaining anticipated lease term and (ii) by the estimated residual value, which is based on a hypothetical sale of the property upon expiration of a lease factoring in the re-tenanting of such property at estimated market rental rates and applying a selected capitalization rate. For the direct capitalization method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by the stabilized estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio and (ii) a selected capitalization rate. For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, management allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. For acquired properties that do not qualify as sale-leaseback transactions, management records above- and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities for acquired properties based on the present value, using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired. For acquired properties with tenants in place, management records in-place lease intangible assets based on the estimated value ascribed to the avoidance of costs of leasing the properties for the remaining primary in-place lease terms. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the purchase price allocation for asset acquisitions and business combinations is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management to develop the fair value estimates of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities using the discounted cash flow and direct capitalization methods; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the market rental rates, capitalization rates, and discount rates used in the discounted cash flow method, and capitalization rates used in the direct capitalization method; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to purchase price allocations for asset acquisitions and business combinations, including controls over management’s valuation of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and controls over management’s review of the assumptions related to market rental rates, capitalization rates, and discount rates. These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the executed purchase agreements and leasing documents; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow and direct capitalization valuation methods, (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to market rental rates, capitalization rates, and discount rates used in the discounted cash flow method, and capitalization rates used in the direct capitalization method, and (v) testing the completeness and accuracy of data used in the valuation methods. Evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to market rental rates, capitalization rates, and discount rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) comparable market data and other industry W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 50 factors and (ii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s valuation methods and (ii) the reasonableness of the significant assumptions related to market rental rates, capitalization rates, and discount rates. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP New York, New York February 10, 2023 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1973, which includes periods before the Company became subject to SEC reporting requirements.

P. Carey 2022 10-K – 59 W. P. CAREY INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Business and Organization W. P. Carey Inc. (“W. P. Carey”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, invests primarily in operationally-critical, single-tenant commercial real estate properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe on a long-term basis. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to companies on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Founded in 1973, our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.” We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective as of February 15, 2012. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We also own real property in jurisdictions outside the United States through foreign subsidiaries and are subject to income taxes on our pre-tax income earned from properties in such countries. Through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), we also earn revenue as the advisor to certain non-traded investment programs. We hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Real Estate segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs. On August 1, 2022, a non-traded REIT that we advised, Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated (“CPA:18 – Global”) merged with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries (the “CPA:18 Merger”) (Note 3). At December 31, 2022, we were the advisor to Carey European Student Housing Fund I, L.P. (“CESH”), a limited partnership formed for the purpose of developing, owning, and operating student housing properties in Europe (Note 4). We refer to CPA:18 – Global (prior to the CPA:18 Merger) and CESH collectively as the “Managed Programs.” We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but currently expect to continue managing CESH through the end of its life cycle (Note 4). Reportable Segments Real Estate — Lease revenues from our real estate investments generate the vast majority of our earnings. We invest primarily in commercial properties located in the United States and Northern and Western Europe, which are leased to companies on a triple-net lease basis. At December 31, 2022, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 1,449 properties, totaling approximately 176 million square feet (unaudited), substantially all of which were net leased to 392 tenants, with a weighted-average lease term of 10.8 years and an occupancy rate of 98.8% (unaudited). In addition, at December 31, 2022, our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 87 operating properties, including 84 self-storage properties, two student housing properties, and one hotel, totaling approximately 6.6 million square feet (unaudited). Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we manage the real estate investment portfolio for CESH, for which we earn asset management revenue. We may also be entitled to receive certain distributions pursuant to our advisory arrangements with CESH. At December 31, 2022, CESH owned (i) all or a portion of three net-leased properties, totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet (unaudited), all of which were leased to one tenant, with an occupancy rate of 100.0% (unaudited), and (ii) one active build-to-suit project. Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Accounting for Acquisitions In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, we determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, we account for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, we recognize the W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 60 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, we evaluate the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. We capitalize acquisition-related costs and fees associated with asset acquisitions. We immediately expense acquisition-related costs and fees associated with business combinations. All transaction costs incurred during the reporting period were capitalized since our acquisitions were classified as asset acquisitions (excluding the CPA:18 Merger). Purchase Price Allocation of Tangible Assets — When we acquire properties with leases classified as operating leases, we allocate the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. The tangible assets consist of land, buildings, and site improvements. The intangible assets include the above- and below-market value of leases and the in-place leases, which includes the value of tenant relationships. Land is typically valued utilizing the sales comparison (or market) approach. Buildings are valued, as if vacant, using the cost and/or income approach. Under the cost approach, the fair value of real estate is based on estimated costs to construct a vacant building with similar characteristics. Under the income approach, we use either the discounted cash flow method or the direct capitalization method. For the discounted cash flow method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by applying a discounted cash flow analysis to the estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio during the remaining anticipated lease term and (ii) by the estimated residual value, which is based on a hypothetical sale of the property upon expiration of a lease factoring in the re-tenanting of such property at estimated market rental rates, and applying a selected capitalization rate. For the direct capitalization method, the fair value of real estate is determined (i) by the stabilized estimated net operating income for each property in the portfolio and (ii) a selected capitalization rate. Assumptions used in the model are property-specific where this information is available; however, when certain necessary information is not available, we use available regional and property-type information. Assumptions and estimates include the following: a discount rate or internal rate of return; • • market rents, growth factors of rents, and market lease term; • • • • capitalization rates to be applied to an estimate of market rent at the beginning and/or the end of the market lease term; the marketing period necessary to put a lease in place; carrying costs during the marketing period; and leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances. The discount rates and residual capitalization rates used to value the properties are selected based on several factors, including: • • • • • • the creditworthiness of the lessees; industry surveys; property type; property location and age; current lease rates relative to market lease rates; and anticipated lease duration. In the case where a tenant has a purchase option deemed to be favorable to the tenant, or the tenant has long-term renewal options at rental rates below estimated market rental rates, we generally include the value of the exercise of such purchase option or long-term renewal options in the determination of residual value. The remaining economic life of leased assets is estimated by relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the leased assets and industry standards. Different estimates of remaining economic life will affect the depreciation expense that is recorded. Purchase Price Allocation of Intangible Assets and Liabilities — For acquired properties that do not qualify as sale-leaseback transactions, we record above- and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired including consideration of the credit of the lessee) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated or in place at the time of acquisition of the properties and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or equivalent property, both of which are measured over the estimated lease term, which includes renewal options that have rental rates below estimated market rental rates. We discount the difference between the estimated market rent and contractual rent to a present value using an interest rate reflecting our current assessment of the risk associated with the lease acquired, which includes a consideration of the credit of the lessee. When we enter into sale-leaseback transactions with above- or below-market leases, the intangibles will be accounted for as loan receivables or prepaid rent liabilities, respectively. We measure the fair value of below-market W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 61 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements purchase option liabilities we acquire as the excess of the present value of the fair value of the real estate over the present value of the tenant’s exercise price at the option date. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party valuations conducted by independent appraisal firms. We amortize the above-market lease intangible as a reduction of lease revenue over the remaining contractual lease term. We amortize the below-market lease intangible as an increase to lease revenue over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases. We include the value of below-market leases in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. For acquired properties with tenants in place, we record in-place lease intangible assets based on the estimated value ascribed to the avoidance of costs of leasing the properties for the remaining primary in-place lease terms. The cost avoidance is derived first by determining the in-place lease term on the subject lease. Then, based on our review of the market, the cost to be borne by a property owner to replicate a market lease to the remaining in-place term is estimated. These costs consist of: (i) rent lost during downtime (i.e., assumed periods of vacancy), (ii) estimated expenses that would be incurred by the property owner during periods of vacancy, (iii) rent concessions (i.e., free rent), (iv) leasing commissions, and (v) tenant improvements allowances given to tenants. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party valuations. We amortize the value of in-place lease intangibles to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining initial term of each lease. The amortization period for intangibles does not exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a lease is terminated, we charge the unamortized portion of above- and below-market lease values to rental income and in-place lease values to amortization expense. If a lease is amended, we will determine whether the economics of the amended lease continue to support the existence of the above- or below-market lease intangibles. Purchase Price Allocation of Debt — When we acquire leveraged properties, the fair value of the related debt instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenants, where applicable, and interest rate risk. Such resulting premium or discount is amortized over the remaining term of the obligation. We also consider the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant, the time until maturity and the current interest rate. Purchase Price Allocation of Goodwill — In the case of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired and assumed, respectively, represents goodwill. We allocate goodwill to the respective reporting units in which such goodwill arises. Goodwill acquired in certain business combinations was attributed to the Real Estate segment which comprises one reporting unit. In the event we dispose of a property or an investment that constitutes a business under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) from a reporting unit with goodwill, we allocate a portion of the reporting unit’s goodwill to that business in determining the gain or loss on the disposal of the business. The amount of goodwill allocated to the business is based on the relative fair value of the business to the fair value of the reporting unit. As part of purchase accounting for a business, we record any deferred tax assets and/or liabilities resulting from the difference between the tax basis and GAAP basis of the investment in the taxing jurisdiction. Such deferred tax amount will be included in purchase accounting and may impact the amount of goodwill recorded depending on the fair value of all of the other assets and liabilities and the amounts paid. Financing Arrangements — In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, Receivables and ASC 842, Leases, real estate assets acquired through a sale-leaseback transaction are accounted for as a financing arrangement if the investment does not meet the criteria for sale-leaseback accounting. We record such investments within Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Rent payments from these investments are included within Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable on the consolidated statements of income. Impairments Real Estate — We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our long-lived real estate and related intangible assets may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, vacancies, an upcoming lease expiration, a tenant with credit difficulty, the termination of a lease by a tenant, or a likely disposition of the property. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 62 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements For real estate assets held for investment and related intangible assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property’s asset group to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property’s asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property’s asset group. The undiscounted cash flow analysis requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values, and holding periods. We estimate market rents and residual values using market information from outside sources such as third-party market research, external appraisals, broker quotes, or recent comparable sales. As our investment objective is to hold properties on a long-term basis, holding periods used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis are generally ten years, but may be less if our intent is to hold a property for less than ten years. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets and associated intangible assets can vary within a range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining our estimate of future cash flows and, if warranted, we apply a probability-weighted method to the different possible scenarios. If the future net undiscounted cash flow of the property’s asset group is less than the carrying value, the carrying value of the property’s asset group is considered not recoverable. We then measure the impairment loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property’s asset group over its estimated fair value. Assets Held for Sale — We generally classify real estate assets that are subject to operating leases as held for sale when we have entered into a contract to sell the property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied, we received a non-refundable deposit, and we believe it is probable that the disposition will occur within one year. When we classify an asset as held for sale, we compare the asset’s fair value less estimated cost to sell to its carrying value, and if the fair value less estimated cost to sell is less than the property’s carrying value, we reduce the carrying value to the fair value less estimated cost to sell. We will continue to review the property for subsequent changes in the fair value, and may recognize an additional impairment charge, if warranted. Equity Method Investments — We evaluate our equity method investments on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators that the value of our equity investment may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To the extent an impairment has occurred and is determined to be other-than-temporary, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair value, which is determined by calculating our share of the estimated fair market value of the underlying net assets based on the terms of the applicable partnership or joint- venture agreement. For our equity investments in real estate, we calculate the estimated fair value of the underlying investment’s real estate as described in Real Estate above. The fair value of the underlying investment’s debt, if any, is calculated based on market interest rates and other market information. The fair value of the underlying investment’s other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investment in direct financing leases) have fair values that generally approximate their carrying values. Goodwill — We evaluate goodwill for possible impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Such a triggering event within our Investment Management segment depended on the timing and form of liquidity events for the Managed Programs (Note 3, Note 4). To identify any impairment, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. This assessment is used as a basis to determine whether it is necessary to calculate reporting unit fair values. If necessary, we calculate the estimated fair value of the Investment Management reporting unit by utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis methodology and available net asset values. We calculate the estimated fair value of the Real Estate reporting unit by utilizing our market capitalization and the aforementioned fair value of the Investment Management segment. Impairments, if any, will be the difference between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying amount, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Credit Losses We adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses on January 1, 2020, which replaces the “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model, resulting in the earlier recognition of credit losses even if the risk of loss is remote. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable. This standard does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases, which are within the scope of Topic 842. We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method, under which we recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment as a charge to retained earnings of $14.8 million on January 1, 2020, which is reflected within our consolidated statements of equity. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 63 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The allowance for credit losses, which is recorded as a reduction to Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable on our consolidated balance sheets, is measured on a pool basis by credit ratings (Note 6), using a probability of default method based on the lessees’ respective credit ratings, the expected value of the underlying collateral upon its repossession, and our historical loss experience related to other direct financing leases. Included in our model are factors that incorporate forward-looking information. Allowance for credit losses is included in our consolidated statements of income within Other gains and (losses). Other Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation — Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries. The portions of equity in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us are presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it should be deemed a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease, as well as certain decision- making rights within a loan or joint-venture agreement, can cause us to consider an entity a VIE. Limited partnerships and other similar entities that operate as a partnership will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participation rights. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The liabilities of these VIEs are non-recourse to us and can only be satisfied from each VIE’s respective assets. Upon the closing of the CPA:18 Merger, we acquired five consolidated VIEs and declassified three entities as VIEs. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we considered 16 and 14 entities to be VIEs, respectively, of which we consolidated 11 and six, respectively, as we are considered the primary beneficiary. The following table presents a summary of selected financial data of the consolidated VIEs included in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable In-place lease intangible assets and other Above-market rent intangible assets Accumulated depreciation and amortization Total assets Non-recourse mortgages, net Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net Total liabilities $ $ December 31, 2022 2021 590,390 $ 143,390 144,103 72,070 33,634 (176,379) 843,500 132,950 $ 18,891 199,633 426,831 — 144,103 42,884 26,720 (154,413) 500,884 1,485 20,568 46,302 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 64 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements At December 31, 2022 and 2021, our five and eight unconsolidated VIEs included our interests in (i) three and six unconsolidated real estate investments, respectively, which we account for under the equity method of accounting (we do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities allows us to exercise significant influence on, but does not give us power over, decisions that significantly affect the economic performance of these entities), and (ii) two unconsolidated investments in equity securities, which we accounted for as investments in shares of the entities at fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $693.4 million and $581.3 million, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities was limited to our investments. Leases As a Lessee: Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments under the lease. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception and determine the classification of the lease at commencement. Operating and financing lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We do not include renewal options in the lease term when calculating the lease liability unless we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our variable lease payments consist of increases as a result of the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or other comparable indices, taxes, and maintenance costs. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Below-market ground lease intangible assets and above-market ground lease intangible liabilities are included as a component of ROU assets. See Note 5 for additional disclosures on the presentation of these amounts in our consolidated balance sheets. The implicit rate within our operating leases is generally not determinable and, as a result, we use our incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. We determine our incremental borrowing rate for each lease using estimated baseline mortgage rates. These baseline rates are determined based on a review of current mortgage debt market activity for benchmark securities across domestic and international markets, utilizing a yield curve. The rates are then adjusted for various factors, including level of collateralization and lease term. As a Lessor: We combine non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues), since both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component, and the lease component would otherwise be classified as an operating lease. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred, if the reimbursements are deemed collectible. Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We currently present Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other and Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties on separate line items in the consolidated balance sheets. Previously, land, buildings and improvements attributable to net lease properties and operating properties were aggregated within Land, buildings and improvements in the consolidated balance sheets (Note 5). Restricted Cash — Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits and amounts required to be reserved pursuant to lender agreements for debt service, capital improvements, and real estate taxes. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands): Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash (a) Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash __________ 2022 167,996 $ 56,145 224,141 $ $ $ December 31, 2021 165,427 $ 52,523 217,950 $ 2020 248,662 63,117 311,779 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 65 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (a) Restricted cash is included within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Real Estate and Operating Real Estate — We carry land, buildings, and improvements at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize costs that extend the useful life of properties or increase their value, while we expense maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets as incurred. Gain/Loss on Sale — We recognize gains and losses on the sale of properties when the transaction meets the definition of a contract, criteria are met for the sale of one or more distinct assets, and control of the properties is transferred. Cash and Cash Equivalents — We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in the custody of several financial institutions, and these balances, at times, exceed federally insurable limits. We seek to mitigate this risk by depositing funds only with major financial institutions. Internal-Use Software Development Costs and Cloud Computing Arrangements — We expense costs associated with the assessment stage of software development projects. Upon completion of the preliminary project assessment stage, we capitalize internal and external costs associated with the application development stage. We expense the personnel-related costs of training and data conversion. We also expense costs associated with the post- implementation and operation stage, including maintenance and specified upgrades; however, we capitalize internal and external costs associated with significant upgrades to existing systems that result in additional functionality. Cloud computing arrangement costs follow the internal-use software accounting guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life, which is three to seven years. Capitalized implementation costs related to a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement beginning when the component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. Periodically, we reassess the useful life considering technology, obsolescence, and other factors. Other Assets and Liabilities — We include prepaid expenses, deferred rental income, tenant receivables, deferred charges, escrow balances held by lenders, restricted cash balances, marketable securities, derivative assets, other intangible assets, corporate fixed assets, our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (a cold storage REIT) (Note 9), our investment in shares of Guggenheim Credit Income Fund (“GCIF”) (Note 9), and office lease ROU assets in Other assets, net. We include derivative liabilities, amounts held on behalf of tenants, operating lease liabilities, and deferred revenue in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Revenue Recognition, Real Estate Leased to Others — We lease real estate to others primarily on a triple-net leased basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and improvements. Substantially all of our leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI or similar indices, or percentage rents. CPI-based adjustments are contingent on future events and are therefore not included as minimum rent in straight-line rent calculations. We recognize rents from percentage rents as reported by the lessees, which is after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to us is reached. Percentage rents were insignificant for the periods presented. For our operating leases, we recognize future minimum rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term of the related leases and charge expenses to operations as incurred (Note 5). We record leases accounted for under the direct financing method as a net investment in direct financing leases (Note 6). The net investment is equal to the cost of the leased assets. The difference between the cost and the gross investment, which includes the residual value of the leased asset and the future minimum rents, is unearned income. We defer and amortize unearned income to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on our net investment in the lease. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 66 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Revenue from contracts under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. At contract inception, we assess the services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. ASC 606 does not apply to our lease revenues, which constitute a majority of our revenues, but primarily applies to revenues generated from our hotel operating properties and our Investment Management segment. Revenue from contracts for our Real Estate segment primarily represented hotel operating property revenues of $12.0 million, $7.2 million, and $5.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Such operating property revenues are primarily comprised of revenues from room rentals and from food and beverage services at our hotel operating properties during those years. We identified a single performance obligation for each distinct service. Performance obligations are typically satisfied at a point in time, at the time of sale, or at the rendering of the service. Fees are generally determined to be fixed. Payment is typically due immediately following the delivery of the service. Revenue from contracts under ASC 606 from our Investment Management segment is discussed in Note 4. Lease revenue (including straight-line lease revenue) is only recognized when deemed probable of collection. Collectibility is assessed for each tenant receivable using various criteria including credit ratings (Note 6), guarantees, past collection issues, and the current economic and business environment affecting the tenant. If collectibility of the contractual rent stream is not deemed probable, revenue will only be recognized upon receipt of cash from the tenant. Revenue Recognition, Investment Management Operations — We earn asset management revenue in connection with providing services to the Managed Programs. We earn asset management revenue from property management, leasing, and advisory services performed. In addition, we earn subordinated incentive and disposition revenue related to the disposition of properties. The Managed Programs reimburse us for certain personnel and overhead costs that we incur on their behalf. We record reimbursement income as the expenses are incurred, subject to limitations imposed by the advisory agreements. Asset Retirement Obligations — Asset retirement obligations relate to the legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal operation of a long-lived asset. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred or at the point of acquisition of an asset with an assumed asset retirement obligation, and the cost of such liability is recorded as an increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by the same amount. The liability is accreted each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the related long-lived asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations result in adjustments to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability. In order to determine the fair value of the asset retirement obligations, we make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected cash flows, the borrowing interest rate, and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated fair value. These estimates and assumptions are subjective. Depreciation — We compute depreciation of building and related improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful lives of the properties (not to exceed 40 years) and furniture, fixtures, and equipment. We compute depreciation of tenant improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life. Stock-Based Compensation — We have granted restricted share awards (“RSAs”), restricted share units (“RSUs”), and performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain employees, independent directors, and nonemployees. Grants were awarded in the name of the recipient subject to certain restrictions of transferability and a risk of forfeiture. Stock-based compensation expense for all equity-classified stock-based compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with current accounting guidance for share-based payments, which includes awards granted to certain nonemployees. We recognize these compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or performance period of the award. We include stock-based compensation within Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of equity and Stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 67 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses — We have interests in international real estate investments primarily in Europe, Canada, and Japan, and the primary functional currencies for those investments are the euro, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, and the Japanese yen. We perform the translation from these currencies to the U.S. dollar for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the month in which the transaction occurs. We report the gains and losses resulting from such translation as a component of other comprehensive income in equity. These translation gains and losses are released to net income (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in the consolidated statements of income) when we have substantially exited from all investments in the related currency. A transaction gain or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later), realized upon settlement of a foreign currency transaction generally will be included in net income for the period in which the transaction is settled. Also, foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and the translation to the reporting currency of intercompany debt that is short-term or has scheduled principal payments, are included in the determination of net income (within Other gains and (losses) in the statements of income). The translation impact of foreign currency transactions of a long-term nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future), in which the entities involved in the transactions are consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in our consolidated financial statements, are not included in net income but are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in equity. Derivative Instruments — We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the cash flow hedges representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. Such gains and losses are recorded within Other gains and (losses) or Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in the same line item as the hedged transactions. For derivatives designated and that qualify as a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in our consolidated statements of income) when the hedged investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, counterparty credit risk is measured on a net portfolio position basis. Segment Allocation Changes — Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses attributed to our Investment Management segment are comprised of the incremental costs of providing services to the Managed Programs, which are fully reimbursed by those funds (resulting in no net expense for us). All other general and administrative expenses are attributed to our Real Estate segment. Previously, general and administrative expenses were allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Real Estate and Investment Management segments. In addition, beginning with the second quarter of 2020, stock-based compensation expense and corporate depreciation and amortization expense are fully recognized within our Real Estate segment. In light of the termination of the advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 in connection with the Watermark Lodging Trust, Inc. (“WLT”) management internalization (Note 4), as well as the termination of the advisory agreements with CPA:18 – Global in connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), we now view essentially all assets, liabilities, and operational expenses as part of our Real Estate segment, other than incremental activities that are expected to wind down as we manage CESH through the end of its life cycle. These changes between the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, our investments in WLT, and income recognized from our investments in WLT, were included within our Real Estate segment following the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, since we were no longer the advisor to that company. Previously, our investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, and income recognized from our investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, were included within our Investment Management segment (Note 4). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 68 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Income Taxes — We conduct business in various states and municipalities primarily within North America and Europe, and as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. We derive most of our REIT income from our real estate operations under our Real Estate segment. Our domestic real estate operations are generally not subject to federal tax, and accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements for these operations. These operations may be subject to certain state and local taxes, as applicable. We conduct our Investment Management operations primarily through TRSs. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for our tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. These operations are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, as applicable. Our financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis including these TRSs and include a provision for current and deferred taxes on these operations. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax provision and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish tax reserves based on a benefit recognition model, which could result in a greater amount of benefit (and a lower amount of reserve) being initially recognized in certain circumstances. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. We derecognize the tax position when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. Our earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due primarily to differences in depreciation, including hotel properties, and timing differences of rent recognition and certain expense deductions, for federal income tax purposes. We recognize deferred income taxes in certain of our subsidiaries taxable in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are generally the result of temporary differences (items that are treated differently for tax purposes than for GAAP purposes as described in Note 15). In addition, deferred tax assets arise from unutilized tax net operating losses, generated in prior years. Deferred income taxes are computed under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial bases of assets and liabilities. We provide a valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets when we believe that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred income tax asset may not be realized. Whenever a change in circumstances causes a change in the estimated realizability of the related deferred income tax asset, the resulting increase or decrease in the valuation allowance is included in deferred income tax expense (benefit). Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects potentially dilutive securities (RSAs, RSUs, PSUs, and shares available for issuance under our Equity Forwards and ATM Forwards) using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 3. Merger with CPA:18 – Global CPA:18 Merger On February 27, 2022, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a merger agreement with CPA:18 – Global, pursuant to which CPA:18 – Global would merge with and into one of our indirect subsidiaries in exchange for shares of our common stock and cash, subject to approval by the stockholders of CPA:18 – Global. The CPA:18 Merger and related transactions were approved by the stockholders of CPA:18 – Global on July 26, 2022 and completed on August 1, 2022. At the effective time of the CPA:18 Merger, each share of CPA:18 – Global common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CPA:18 Merger was canceled and, in exchange for cancellation of such share, the rights attaching to such share were converted automatically into the right to receive (i) 0.098 shares of our common stock and (ii) $3.00 in cash, which we refer to herein as the Merger Consideration. Each share of CPA:18 – Global common stock owned by us or any of our subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the CPA:18 Merger was automatically canceled and retired, and ceased to exist, for no Merger Consideration. In exchange for the 141,099,002 shares of CPA:18 – Global common stock that we and our subsidiaries did not previously own, we paid total merger consideration of approximately $1.6 billion, W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 69 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements consisting of (i) the issuance of 13,786,302 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $1.2 billion, based on the closing price of our common stock on August 1, 2022 of $87.46 per share, (ii) cash consideration of $423.3 million, and (iii) cash of $0.1 million paid in lieu of issuing any fractional shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement, in connection with the closing of the CPA:18 Merger, we waived certain back-end fees that we would have otherwise been entitled to receive from CPA:18 – Global upon its liquidation pursuant to the terms of our pre-closing advisory agreement with CPA:18 – Global. Immediately prior to the closing of the CPA:18 Merger, CPA:18 – Global’s portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 42 leased properties (including seven properties in which we already owned a partial ownership interest), substantially all of which were net leased with a weighted- average lease term of 7.0 years, an occupancy rate of 99.3% (unaudited), and an estimated contractual minimum annualized base rent (“ABR”) totaling $81.0 million, as well as 65 self-storage operating properties and two student housing operating properties totaling 5.1 million square feet (unaudited). The related property-level debt was comprised of non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate consolidated fair value of approximately $900.2 million with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 5.1% as of August 1, 2022. From the closing of the CPA:18 Merger through December 31, 2022, lease revenues, operating property revenues, and net income from properties acquired were $42.7 million, $39.2 million, and $12.3 million, respectively. Two of the net lease properties that we acquired in the CPA:18 Merger were classified as Assets held for sale, with an aggregate fair value of $85.0 million at acquisition (Note 5). From the closing of the CPA:18 Merger through December 31, 2022, lease revenues from these properties totaled $4.9 million. We sold one of these properties in August 2022 for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $44.5 million, and recognized a loss on sale of $0.2 million (Note 16). Purchase Price Allocation We accounted for the CPA:18 Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules, we were considered the “accounting acquirer” due to various factors, including the fact that our stockholders held the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined company upon completion of the CPA:18 Merger. Costs related to the CPA:18 Merger have been expensed as incurred and classified within Merger and other expenses in the consolidated statements of income, totaling $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values at August 1, 2022. The following tables summarize the preliminary consideration and estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition, based on the current best estimate of management. We are in the process of finalizing our assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Investments in land, buildings and improvements, net investments in direct financing leases, non-recourse mortgages, and noncontrolling interests were based on preliminary valuation data and estimates. Total Consideration Fair value of W. P.

Management believes the premium is supported by several factors, including that the CPA:18 Merger (i) concludes our exit from the non-traded REIT business, (ii) adds a high-quality diversified portfolio of net lease assets that is well-aligned with our existing portfolio, (iii) enhances certain portfolio metrics, and (iv) adds an attractive portfolio of self-storage operating properties. The fair value of the 13,786,302 shares of our common stock issued in the CPA:18 Merger as part of the consideration paid for CPA:18 – Global of $1.6 billion was derived from the closing market price of our common stock on the acquisition date. As required by GAAP, the fair value related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the shares exchanged, has been computed as of the date we gained control, which was the closing date of the CPA:18 Merger, in a manner consistent with the methodology described above. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Equity Investments During the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $22.5 million, which was the difference between the carrying value of approximately $65.8 million and the fair value of approximately $88.3 million of our previously held equity interest in 8,556,732 shares of CPA:18 – Global’s common stock. The CPA:18 Merger also resulted in our acquisition of the remaining interests in four investments in which we already had a joint interest and accounted for under the equity method. Upon acquiring the remaining interests in these investments, we owned 100% of these investments and thus accounted for the acquisitions of these interests utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control of the four jointly owned investments that occurred, we recorded a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $11.4 million during the third quarter of 2022, which was the difference between our carrying values and the fair values of our previously held equity interests on August 1, 2022 of approximately $17.2 million and approximately $28.6 million, respectively. Subsequent to the CPA:18 Merger, we consolidate these wholly owned investments. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 71 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The fair values of our previously held equity interests are based on the estimated fair market values of the underlying real estate and related mortgage debt, both of which were determined by management relying in part on a third party. Real estate valuation requires significant judgment. We determined the significant assumptions to be Level 3 with ranges for our previously held equity interests as follows: • Market rents ranged from $8.65 per square foot to $21.00 per square foot; • Discount rates applied to the estimated net operating income of each property ranged from approximately 5.75% to 9.75%; • Discount rates applied to the estimated residual value of each property ranged from approximately 6.50% to 8.50%; • • Residual capitalization rates applied to the properties ranged from approximately 5.75% to 8.00%; The fair market value of the property level debt was determined based upon available market data for comparable liabilities and by applying selected discount rates to the stream of future debt payments; and • Discount rates applied to the property level debt cash flows ranged from approximately 2.28% to 5.50%. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The following consolidated pro forma financial information has been presented as if the CPA:18 Merger had occurred on January 1, 2021 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been had the CPA:18 Merger on that date, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties Advisory Agreements and Partnership Agreements with the Managed Programs We currently have advisory arrangements with CESH, pursuant to which we earn fees and are entitled to receive reimbursement for certain fund management expenses. Upon completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), our advisory agreements with CPA:18 – Global were terminated, and we ceased earning revenue from CPA:18 – Global. We no longer raise capital for new or existing funds, but we currently expect to continue to manage CESH and earn various fees (as described below) through the end of its life cycle. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 72 The following tables present a summary of revenue earned, reimbursable costs, and distributions of Available Cash received/accrued from the Managed Programs and WLT for the periods indicated, included in the consolidated financial statements (in thousands): Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (a) Distributions of Available Cash Asset management revenue Reimbursable costs from affiliates Interest income on deferred acquisition fees and loans to affiliates Structuring and other advisory revenue (b) (b) (b) (c) CPA:18 – Global CWI 1 CWI 2 CESH WLT (reimbursed transition services) __________ Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 8,746 $ 8,467 2,518 112 — 19,843 $ 7,345 $ 15,363 4,035 120 — 26,863 $ Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 17,854 $ — — 1,989 — 19,843 $ 22,867 $ — — 3,713 283 26,863 $ 7,225 21,973 8,855 369 494 38,916 22,200 5,662 4,668 4,723 1,663 38,916 $ $ $ $ Included within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income.

For the agreements that include multiple performance obligations, including asset management services, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on estimates of the price that we would charge for each promised service if it were sold on a standalone basis. Judgment is applied in assessing whether there should be a constraint on the amount of fees recognized, such as amounts in excess of certain threshold limits with respect to the contract price or any potential clawback provisions included in certain of our arrangements. We exclude fees subject to such constraints to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of those amounts will occur. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 73 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Asset Management Revenue Under the advisory agreements with the Managed Programs, we earn asset management revenue for managing their investment portfolios. The following table presents a summary of our asset management fee arrangements with the Managed Programs: Managed Program CPA:18 – Global Rate 0.5% – 1.5% CESH 1.0% Payable In shares of its Class A common stock and/or cash, at the option of CPA:18 – Global; payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of its Class A common stock for 2021 through February 28, 2022; payable in cash from March 1, 2022 to August 1, 2022 (the date of the completion of the CPA:18 Merger) In cash Description Rate depended on the type of investment and was based on the average market or average equity value, as applicable Based on gross assets at fair value The performance obligation for asset management services is satisfied over time as services are rendered. The time-based output method is used to measure progress over time, as this is representative of the transfer of the services. We are compensated for our services on a monthly or quarterly basis. However, these services represent a series of distinct daily services under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accordingly, we satisfy the performance obligation and resolve the variability associated with our fees on a daily basis. We apply the practical expedient and, as a result, do not disclose variable consideration attributable to wholly or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period. In providing asset management services, we are reimbursed for certain costs. Direct reimbursement of these costs does not represent a separate performance obligation. Payment for asset management services is typically due on the first business day following the month of the delivery of the service. Reimbursable Costs from Affiliates CESH reimburses us in cash for certain personnel and overhead costs that we incur on its behalf, based on actual expenses incurred. Distributions of Available Cash We were entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash (as defined in CPA:18 – Global’s partnership agreement) from the operating partnership of CPA:18 – Global, payable quarterly in arrears. After completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), we no longer receive distributions of Available Cash from CPA:18 – Global. Back-End Fees and Interests in the Managed Programs Under our advisory arrangements with CESH, we may also receive compensation in connection with providing a liquidity event for its investors. Such back-end fees or interests include or may include interests in disposition proceeds. There can be no assurance as to whether or when any back-end fees or interests will be realized. Pursuant to the terms of the definitive merger agreement, in connection with the closing of the CPA:18 Merger, we waived certain back-end fees that we would have been entitled to receive from CPA:18 – Global upon its liquidation pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement and partnership agreement with CPA:18 – Global (Note 3). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 74 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Other Transactions with Former Affiliates CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger On October 22, 2019, Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“CWI 1”) and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated (“CWI 2”), two non-traded REITs that we advised, announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the two companies intended to merge in an all- stock transaction, with CWI 2 as the surviving entity (the “CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger”). The CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger was approved by the stockholders of CWI 1 and CWI 2 on April 8, 2020 and closed on April 13, 2020. Subsequently, CWI 2 was renamed WLT. In connection with the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we entered into an internalization agreement and a transition services agreement. Immediately following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, (i) the advisory agreements with each of CWI 1 and CWI 2 and each of their respective operating partnerships terminated, (ii) the subadvisory agreements with the subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 were terminated, (iii) pursuant to the internalization agreement, two of our representatives were appointed to the board of directors of WLT (however both representatives resigned from the board of directors of WLT on April 29, 2020), and (iv) we provided certain transition services at cost to WLT, pursuant to a transition services agreement. On October 13, 2021, all services provided under the transition services agreement were terminated. In accordance with the merger agreement, at the effective time of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CWI 1’s common stock (or fraction thereof), was converted into the right to receive 0.9106 shares (the “exchange ratio”) of CWI 2 Class A common stock. As a result, we exchanged 6,074,046 shares of CWI 1 common stock for 5,531,025 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock. Pursuant to the internalization agreement, the operating partnerships of each of CWI 1 and CWI 2 redeemed the special general partner interests that we previously held, for which we received 1,300,000 shares of CWI 2 preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share and 2,840,549 shares in CWI 2 Class A common stock (which was a non-cash investing activity). In connection with this redemption, we recognized a non-cash net gain on sale of $33.0 million, which was included within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020. This net gain on sale was recorded based on: • • • • • a fair value of $46.3 million for the 1,300,000 shares of CWI 2 preferred stock that we received (Note 9); a fair value of $11.6 million for the 2,840,549 shares in CWI 2 common stock that we received (Note 8); a gain recognized on the redemption of the noncontrolling interest in the special general partner interests previously held by the respective subadvisors for CWI 1 and CWI 2 of $9.9 million (which is included within Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of income and Redemption of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of equity); an allocation of $34.3 million of goodwill within our Investment Management segment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—goodwill and other, since the WLT management internalization resulted in a sale of a portion of our Investment Management business (the allocation of goodwill was based on the relative fair value of the portion of the Investment Management business sold) (Note 7); and the carrying value of our previously held equity investments in the operating partnerships of CWI 1 and CWI 2 (Note 8), which totaled $0.5 million on the date of the merger. In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (based on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, as described above) (Note 9). Prior to the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, we owned 3,836,669 shares of CWI 2 Class A common stock. Following the closing of the CWI 1 and CWI 2 Merger, execution of the internalization agreement, and CWI 2 being renamed WLT, we owned 12,208,243 shares of WLT common stock, which we accounted for as an equity method investment. We recorded our investment in shares of common stock of WLT on a one quarter lag. In January 2022, we reclassified our investment in shares of common stock of WLT from equity method investments to equity securities, since we no longer had significant influence over WLT, following the redemption of our investment in preferred shares of WLT, as described above (Note 8). As a result, we accounted for this investment, which was included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. WLT completed its previously announced sale to private real estate funds in October 2022 and we received $82.6 million in cash proceeds. We recognized non-cash unrealized gains of $49.2 million on our investment in common shares of WLT during the year ended December 31, 2022, which was recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. Upon completion of this transaction, we have no remaining interest in WLT. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 75 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Loans to Affiliates From time to time, our board of directors (our “Board”) has approved the making of secured and unsecured loans or lines of credit from us to certain of the Managed Programs, at our sole discretion, generally for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions or for working capital purposes. No amounts were outstanding on our line of credit to CPA:18 – Global as of December 31, 2021. In July 2022, CPA:18 – Global repaid the $16.0 million principal outstanding balance in full. The loan agreement with CPA:18 – Global was terminated upon completion of the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022. No such line of credit with CESH existed during the reporting period. Other At December 31, 2022, we owned interests in ten jointly owned investments in real estate, with the remaining interests held by third parties. We consolidate six such investments and account for the remaining four investments under the equity method of accounting (Note 8). In addition, we owned limited partnership units of CESH at that date. We elected to account for our investment in CESH under the fair value option (Note 8). Note 5. Land, Buildings and Improvements, and Assets Held for Sale Land, Buildings and Improvements — Net Lease and Other Land and buildings leased to others, which are subject to operating leases, and real estate under construction, are summarized as follows (in thousands): Land Buildings and improvements Real estate under construction Less: Accumulated depreciation December 31, 2022 2,400,002 $ 10,916,630 22,225 (1,672,091) 11,666,766 $ 2021 2,151,327 9,525,858 114,549 (1,448,020) 10,343,714 $ $ As discussed in Note 3, we acquired 39 consolidated properties subject to existing operating leases in the CPA:18 Merger, which increased the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other by $881.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. During 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, as the end-of-period rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro decreased by 5.8% to $1.0666 from $1.1326. As a result of this fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other decreased by $250.5 million from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. In connection with changes in lease classifications due to terminations or extensions of the underlying leases, we reclassified seven properties with an aggregate carrying value of $67.0 million from Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable to Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other during 2022 (Note 6). Depreciation expense, including the effect of foreign currency translation, on our buildings and improvements subject to operating leases was $299.4 million, $286.4 million, and $258.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

(c) We also committed to fund an additional $26.6 million for an expansion at the facility, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023. (d) We also committed to fund an additional $13.8 million for an expansion at this facility, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 77 The aggregate purchase price allocation for investments disclosed above is as follows (dollars in thousands): Land Buildings and improvements Intangible assets and liabilities: In-place lease (weighted-average expected life of 20.6 years) Below-market rent (weighted-average expected life of 10.9 years) ROU assets: Prepaid rent (a) __________ Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Total Capitalized Costs 145,078 $ 852,991 152,889 (7,023) 12,287 1,156,222 $ (a) Represents prepaid rent for a land lease. Therefore, there is no future obligation on the land lease asset and no corresponding operating lease liability. This asset is included in In-place lease intangible assets and other in the consolidated balance sheets. Acquisitions of Real Estate During 2021 — We entered into 28 investments, which were deemed to be real estate asset acquisitions, at a total cost of $1.3 billion, including land of $191.0 million, buildings of $946.9 million, net lease intangibles of $188.9 million, land lease ROU assets of $6.0 million, above- market ground lease intangibles, net, of $4.2 million (included within ROU assets), prepaid rent liabilities of $15.4 million, and operating lease liabilities of $6.0 million.

Real Estate Under Construction During 2022, we capitalized real estate under construction totaling $141.2 million (including $78.3 million related to a student housing development project acquired in the CPA:18 Merger, as discussed below under Land, Buildings and Improvements — Operating Properties). The number of construction projects in progress with balances included in real estate under construction was eight and six as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Aggregate unfunded commitments totaled approximately $61.1 million and $55.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Carey 2022 10-K – 78 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements In addition to the expansion commitments discussed under Acquisitions of Real Estate During 2022 above, during 2022, we committed to fund six build-to- suit or redevelopment projects, for an aggregate amount of $20.3 million. We currently expect to complete the projects in 2023. Capitalized interest incurred during construction was $1.3 million, $2.5 million, and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 respectively, which reduces Interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Dispositions of Properties During 2022, we sold 20 properties, which were classified as Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other. As a result, the carrying value of our Land, buildings and improvements — net lease and other decreased by $118.1 million from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 (Note 16).

In September 2022, we partially placed into service the student housing development project for total capitalized costs of $66.8 million. At December 31, 2021, Land, buildings and improvements — operating properties consisted of our investments in ten consolidated self- storage properties and one consolidated hotel.

We earn student housing operating revenue primarily from leases of one year or less with individual students. We derive hotel revenue primarily from room rentals, as well as food, beverage, and other services.

Finance Receivables Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable (net of allowance for credit losses). Operating leases are not included in finance receivables. See Note 2 and Note 5 for information on ROU operating lease assets recognized in our consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we reduced the allowance for credit losses balance by $4.7 million, in connection with the reclassifications of properties from Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable to Real estate, as described below. 2022 — Income from direct financing leases, which is included in Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements, was $53.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 3, we acquired one consolidated property subject to a direct financing lease in the CPA:18 Merger, which increased the carrying value of our Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable by $10.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we reclassified seven properties with a carrying value of $67.0 million from Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable to Real estate in connection with changes in lease classifications due to terminations or extensions of the underlying leases (Note 5). During the year ended December 31, 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, resulting in a $23.5 million decrease in the carrying value of Net investments in direct financing leases and loans receivable from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. 2021 — Income from direct financing leases, which is included in Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements, was $63.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. 2020 — Income from direct financing leases, which was included in Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements, was $73.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Carey 2022 10-K – 83 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Loans Receivable During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into the following sale-leaseback, which was deemed to be a loan receivable in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables and ASC 842, Leases (dollars in thousands): Property Location(s) Various, Belgium (a) __________ Number of Properties 5 5 Date of Acquisition 6/22/2022 Property Type Retail Total Investment $ $ 19,795 19,795 (a) Amount reflects the applicable exchange rate on the date of transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we entered into three sale-leasebacks, which were deemed to be loans receivable, at a total cost of $217.0 million. As discussed in Note 3, we acquired one secured loan receivable in the CPA:18 Merger for $28.0 million, which pays interest at 10% per annum with a maturity date of July 2024. In September 2022, one of our secured loans receivable was repaid to us for $34.0 million. In connection with this repayment, we recorded a release of allowance for credit losses of $10.5 million since the loan principal was fully repaid. In addition, in the first quarter of 2021, we entered into an agreement with the borrowers for certain of our secured loans receivable, who agreed to pay us at maturity a total of $3.7 million of unpaid interest due over the previous year. In connection with the repayment of the secured loan receivable in September 2022, we collected $2.3 million of this interest, which was included in Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable on the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022. The remaining $1.4 million of unpaid interest is related to a secured loan receivable that we still own, and has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements due to uncertainty of collectibility. Earnings from our loans receivable are included in Income from direct financing leases and loans receivable in the consolidated financial statements, and totaled $21.2 million, $4.3 million, and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Credit Quality of Finance Receivables We generally invest in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and therefore have a lower risk of tenant default. At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, other than uncollected income from our secured loans receivable (as noted above), no material balances of our finance receivables were past due. Other than the lease terminations and extensions noted under Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases above, there were no material modifications of finance receivables during the year ended December 31, 2022. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. A credit quality of one through three indicates a range of investment grade to stable. A credit quality of four through five indicates a range of inclusion on the watch list to risk of default. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables is updated quarterly. A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating, excluding our allowance for credit losses, is as follows (dollars in thousands): Number of Tenants / Obligors at December 31, Carrying Value at December 31, Internal Credit Quality Indicator 1 – 3 4 5 2022 19 8 — 2021 17 9 — 2022 2021 $ $ 664,761 $ 117,833 — 782,594 $ 703,280 140,230 — 843,510 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 84 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangibles We have recorded lease, internal-use software development, and trade name intangibles that are being amortized over periods ranging from one year to 48 years. In-place lease intangibles, at cost are included in In-place lease intangible assets and other in the consolidated financial statements. Above-market rent intangibles, at cost are included in Above-market rent intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. Accumulated amortization of in-place lease and above-market rent intangibles is included in Accumulated depreciation and amortization in the consolidated financial statements. Internal-use software development and trade name intangibles are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Below-market rent and below- market purchase option intangibles are included in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net in the consolidated financial statements. Net lease intangibles recorded in connection with property acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2022 are described in Note 5. In connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), we recorded net lease intangibles comprised as follows (life in years, dollars in thousands): Weighted-Average Life Amount Finite-Lived Intangible Assets In-place lease Above-market rent Finite-Lived Intangible Liabilities Below-market rent 7.4 11.9 8.5 $ $ $ 199,913 61,090 261,003 (16,836) In connection with certain business combinations, including the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), we recorded goodwill as a result of consideration exceeding the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (Note 2). The goodwill was attributed to our Real Estate reporting unit as it relates to the real estate assets we acquired in such business combinations. The following table presents a reconciliation of our goodwill (in thousands): Real Estate Investment Management Total Balance at January 1, 2020 Foreign currency translation adjustments Allocation of goodwill based on portion of Investment Management business sold (Note 4) Balance at December 31, 2020 Foreign currency translation adjustments Balance at December 31, 2021 Acquisition of CPA:18 – Global (Note 3) Foreign currency translation adjustments Impairment charges (Note 9) $ 871,081 $ 10,403 — 881,484 (9,289) 872,195 172,346 (7,129) — Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 1,037,412 $ 63,607 $ — (34,273) 29,334 — 29,334 — — (29,334) — $ 934,688 10,403 (34,273) 910,818 (9,289) 901,529 172,346 (7,129) (29,334) 1,037,412 Current accounting guidance requires that we test for the recoverability of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The test for recoverability must be conducted at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In connection with the completion of the CPA:18 Merger in August 2022 (Note 3), we performed a test for impairment during the third quarter of 2022 for goodwill recorded in both segments and recognized an impairment charge of $29.3 million on goodwill within our Investment Management segment (Note 9). We also performed our annual test for impairment in October 2022 for goodwill recorded in our Real Estate segment and found no impairment indicated. W. P.

Net amortization of intangibles, including the effect of foreign currency translation, was $229.2 million, $236.6 million, and $226.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Amortization of below-market rent and above- market rent intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Lease revenues and amortization of internal-use software development, trade name, and in-place lease intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization. Based on the intangible assets and liabilities recorded at December 31, 2022, scheduled annual net amortization of intangibles for each of the next five calendar years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands): Years Ending December 31, 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Thereafter Total Net Decrease in Lease Revenues Increase to Amortization Total $ $ 34,878 $ 30,783 27,047 21,196 17,100 27,438 158,442 $ 213,525 $ 158,641 144,395 128,578 115,105 702,507 1,462,751 $ 248,403 189,424 171,442 149,774 132,205 729,945 1,621,193 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 86 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 8. Equity Method Investments We own interests in the Managed Programs and certain unconsolidated real estate investments with third parties. We account for our interests in these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences) or at fair value by electing the equity method fair value option available under GAAP. We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. In general, distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Managed Programs We own interests in the Managed Programs and account for these interests under the equity method because, as their advisor, we do not exert control over, but we do have the ability to exercise significant influence over, the Managed Programs. Operating results of the Managed Programs are included in the Investment Management segment. The following table sets forth certain information about our investments in the Managed Programs (dollars in thousands): Fund CPA:18 – Global CPA:18 – Global operating partnership CESH (b) (a) % of Outstanding Shares Owned at Carrying Amount of Investment at December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 100.000 % 100.000 % 2.430 % 5.578 % $ 0.034 % 2.430 % $ — $ — 2,225 2,225 $ 60,836 209 3,689 64,734 __________ (a) On August 1, 2022, we acquired all of the remaining interests in CPA:18 – Global and the CPA:18 – Global operating partnership in the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). (b) Investment is accounted for at fair value. CPA:18 – Global — We received distributions from this investment during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 of $1.6 million, $3.5 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. We received distributions from our investment in the CPA:18 – Global operating partnership during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 of $8.7 million, $7.3 million, and $7.2 million, respectively (Note 4). CESH — We have elected to account for our investment in CESH at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP. We record our investment in CESH on a one quarter lag; therefore, the balance of our equity method investment in CESH recorded as of December 31, 2022 is based on the estimated fair value of our investment as of September 30, 2022. We received distributions from this investment during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. We did not receive distributions from this investment during the year ended December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our equity method investments in the Managed Programs were $23.3 million. During the third quarter of 2022, we recognized a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $22.5 million, which was the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of our previously held equity interest in shares of CPA:18 – Global’s common stock (Note 3). Following the close of the CPA:18 Merger, there are no such unamortized basis differences on our equity method investments in the Managed Programs. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 87 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Interests in Other Unconsolidated Real Estate Investments and WLT We own equity interests in properties that are generally leased to companies through noncontrolling interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence. The underlying investments are jointly owned with affiliates or third parties. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. In addition, we owned shares of WLT common stock, which we accounted for under the equity method of accounting as of December 31, 2021, but was reclassified to equity securities at fair value within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets in January 2022, as described in Note 9. Operating results of our unconsolidated real estate investments are included in the Real Estate segment. The following table sets forth our ownership interests in our equity method investments in real estate, excluding the Managed Programs, and their respective carrying values (dollars in thousands): Co-owner December 31, 2022 2022 2021 Ownership Interest at Carrying Value at December 31, Lessee/Fund/Description Existing Equity Method Investments Las Vegas Retail Complex Johnson Self Storage Kesko Senukai Harmon Retail Corner WLT (b) (d) (c) (a) Third Party Third Party Third Party Third Party WLT Equity Method Investments Consolidated After the CPA:18 Merger State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.

(b) The carrying value of this investment is affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the euro. (c) This investment is reported using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model, which may be different than pro rata ownership percentages, primarily due to the capital structure of the partnership agreement. (d) At December 31, 2021, we owned 12,208,243 shares of common stock of WLT, which we accounted for as an equity method investment in real estate, but was reclassified to equity securities at fair value within Other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets in January 2022 (Note 9). WLT completed its previously announced sale to private real estate funds in October 2022 (Note 9). (e) We acquired the remaining interests in these investments from CPA:18 – Global in the CPA:18 Merger, subsequent to which we consolidated these wholly owned investments (Note 3). (f) The carrying value of this investment is affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Norwegian krone. We sold this investment in December 2022, which was consolidated and wholly owned at the time of disposition. (g) We recognized our $4.6 million proportionate share of an impairment charge recorded on this investment during the year ended December 31, 2022, which was reflected within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income. The estimated fair value of the investment is based on the estimated selling price of the international office facility owned by the investment, and the fair value of the non-recourse mortgage encumbering the property also approximates the fair value of the property. We received aggregate distributions of $27.8 million, $18.6 million, and $17.8 million from our other unconsolidated real estate investments for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our unconsolidated real estate investments were $19.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively. During the third quarter of 2022, we recorded a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $11.4 million, which was the difference between our carrying values and the fair values of our previously held equity method investments in real estate consolidated after the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 88 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Las Vegas Retail Complex On June 10, 2021, we entered into an agreement to fund a construction loan of approximately $261.9 million for a retail complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, at an interest rate of 6.0% and term of 36 months. Through December 31, 2022, we funded $193.2 million, with the remaining amount expected to be funded in 2023. We hold a purchase option for two net-leased units at the complex upon its completion, as well as an equity purchase option to acquire a 47.5% equity interest in the partnership that owns the borrower. As of the agreement date, we did not deem the exercise of the purchase options to be reasonably certain. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, we determined that this loan will not be consolidated, but due to the characteristics of the arrangement (including our participation in expected residual profits), the risks and rewards of the agreement are similar to those associated with an investment in real estate rather than a loan. Therefore, the loan will be treated as an implied investment in real estate (i.e., an equity method investment in real estate) for accounting purposes in accordance with the acquisition, development and construction arrangement sub-section of ASC 310, Receivables. Equity income from this investment was $10.1 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which was recognized within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income. Note 9. Fair Value Measurements The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency collars; and Level 3, for securities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, we have also provided the unobservable inputs. Derivative Assets and Liabilities — Our derivative assets and liabilities, which are included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency collars, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and stock warrants (Note 10). The valuation of our derivative instruments (excluding stock warrants) is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, spot and forward rates, and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. These derivative instruments were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over- the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. The stock warrants were measured at fair value using valuation models that incorporate market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because these assets are not traded in an active market. Equity Method Investment in CESH — We have elected to account for our investment in CESH, which is included in Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value by selecting the equity method fair value option available under GAAP (Note 8). We classified this investment as Level 3 because we primarily used valuation models that incorporate unobservable inputs to determine its fair value. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 89 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Investment in Shares of Lineage Logistics — We have elected to apply the measurement alternative under ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10) to account for our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (a cold storage REIT), which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements. Under this alternative, the carrying value is adjusted for any impairments or changes in fair value resulting from observable transactions for similar or identical investments in the issuer. We classified this investment as Level 3 because it is not traded in an active market. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, we recognized non-cash unrealized gains on our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics totaling $38.6 million, $76.3 million, and $48.3 million, respectively, due to secondary market transactions at a higher price per share, which was recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we received cash dividends of $4.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively, from our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics, which was recorded within Non- operating income in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 for further discussion of the impact of Lineage Logistics’s conversion to a REIT during the first quarter of 2020. In addition, in October 2020, we purchased additional shares of Lineage Logistics for $95.5 million. The fair value of this investment was $404.9 million and $366.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Investment in Shares of GCIF — We account for our investment in shares of GCIF, which is included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 2 because we used a quoted price from an inactive market to determine its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received liquidating distributions from our investment in shares of GCIF totaling $2.6 million, which reduced the cost basis of our investment (in March 2021, GCIF announced its intention to liquidate and to distribute substantially all of its assets). The fair value of our investment in shares of GCIF was $1.7 million and $4.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Investment in Preferred Shares of WLT — In January 2022, WLT redeemed in full our 1,300,000 shares of its preferred stock for gross proceeds of $65.0 million (based on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share). Since this redemption was based on market conditions that existed as of December 31, 2021, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an unrealized gain on our investment in preferred shares of WLT of $18.7 million, which was recognized within Other comprehensive (loss) income in the consolidated financial statements. In January 2022, in connection with this redemption, we reclassified this $18.7 million unrealized gain from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements (Note 13). During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we received cash dividends of $0.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, from our investment in preferred shares of WLT, which was recorded within Non-operating income in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our investment in preferred shares of WLT approximated its carrying value, which was $65.0 million as of December 31, 2021. Investment in Common Shares of WLT — In January 2022, we reclassified our investment in 12,208,243 shares of common stock of WLT from equity method investments to equity securities, since we no longer had significant influence over WLT, following the redemption of our investment in preferred shares of WLT, as described above. As a result, we accounted for this investment, which was included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, at fair value. We classified this investment as Level 3 because it is not traded in an active market. The carrying value of this investment was $33.4 million as of December 31, 2021, which was included within Equity method investments in the consolidated financial statements. WLT completed its previously announced sale to private real estate funds in October 2022 and we received $82.6 million in cash proceeds. As a result, we recognized non-cash unrealized gains of $49.2 million on our investment in common shares of WLT during the year ended December 31, 2022, which was recorded within Other gains and (losses) in the consolidated financial statements. Upon completion of this transaction, we have no remaining interest in WLT. We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 category of measurements during either the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) recognized on items measured at fair value on a recurring basis included in earnings are reported within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated financial statements. Our other material financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands): Senior Unsecured Notes, net Non-recourse mortgages, net (a) (b) (c) (a) (b) (d) __________ Level 2 and 3 3 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value $ 5,916,400 $ 1,132,417 5,238,588 $ 1,109,449 5,701,913 $ 368,524 5,984,228 369,841 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 90 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (a) The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net (Note 11) includes unamortized deferred financing costs of $25.9 million and $28.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized deferred financing costs of less than $0.1 million at both December 31, 2022 and 2021. (b) The carrying value of Senior Unsecured Notes, net includes unamortized discount of $24.1 million and $29.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The carrying value of Non-recourse mortgages, net includes unamortized discount of $10.3 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (c) For those Senior Unsecured Notes for which there are no observable market prices (specifically, our private placement Senior Unsecured Notes (Note 11)), we used a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. We consider these notes to be within the Level 3 category. For all other Senior Unsecured Notes, we determined the estimated fair value using observed market prices in an open market, which may experience limited trading volume. We consider these notes to be within the Level 2 category. (d) We determined the estimated fair value of our non-recourse mortgage loans using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the future loan payments by discounting such payments at current estimated market interest rates. The estimated market interest rates consider interest rate risk and the value of the underlying collateral, which includes quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, and the time until maturity. We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities, including amounts outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 11), but excluding finance receivables (Note 6), had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both December 31, 2022 and 2021. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges) We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Our impairment policies are described in Note 2. The following table presents information about assets for which we recorded an impairment charge and that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (in thousands): Impairment Charges Real estate and intangibles Investment Management goodwill Equity method investments 2022 Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 Fair Value Measurements Impairment Charges Fair Value Measurements Impairment Charges Fair Value Measurements Impairment Charges $ 32,497 $ — — $ 39,119 $ 29,334 — 68,453 29,494 $ — 8,175 $ 24,246 $ — 6,830 31,076 31,350 $ — 55,245 $ 35,830 — 55,387 91,217 Impairment charges, and their related triggering events and fair value measurements, recognized during 2022, 2021, and 2020 were as follows: Real Estate and Intangibles The impairment charges described below are reflected within Impairment charges — real estate in our consolidated statements of income. 2022 — During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized impairment charges totaling $39.1 million on 11 properties in order to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values, as follows: • • $12.4 million on three properties based on their estimated selling prices; we sold one of these properties in August 2022; $10.9 million on a property due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2023. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using two significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (14.0%) and terminal capitalization rate (11.0%); W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 91 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • • $9.3 million on six Pendragon PLC properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values. The fair value measurements for the properties were determined using a direct capitalization rate analysis; the capitalization rate for the various scenarios ranged from 4.75% to 10.00%. In March 2022, we entered into a transaction to restructure certain leases with Pendragon PLC (a tenant at certain automotive dealerships in the United Kingdom). Under this restructuring, we extended the leases on 30 properties by 11 years (no change to rent) and entered into an agreement to dispose of 12 properties, with the tenant continuing to pay rent until the earlier of sale date or certain specified dates over the following 12 months; and $6.5 million on a property due to a potential property vacancy. 2021 — During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized impairment charges totaling $24.2 million on two properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values, as follows: • • $16.3 million on a property due to the former tenant’s non-renewal of its lease expiring in 2022; the fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using four significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (range of 7.00% to 9.00%), terminal capitalization rate (range of 6.00% to 7.00%), estimated market rents (range of $10 to $11 per square foot), and estimated capital expenditures ($100 per square foot); we sold this property in September 2022; and $7.9 million on a property due to a lease termination and resulting vacancy; the fair value measurement for the property was based on the sales prices for comparable properties. 2020 — During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized impairment charges totaling $35.8 million on six properties in order to reduce the carrying values of the properties to their estimated fair values, as follows: • • • • • $16.0 million on two properties leased to the same tenant, due to potential property vacancies; the fair value measurements for the properties were determined using a direct capitalization rate analysis based on the probability of vacancy versus the tenant continuing in the lease; the capitalization rate for the various scenarios ranged from 6% to 11%; $12.6 million on an international property due to a tenant bankruptcy; the fair value measurement for the property was determined by using a probability-weighted approach of lease restructure and vacancy scenarios; $3.4 million on an international property based on its estimated selling price; we sold this property in September 2020; $2.8 million on an international property due to a lease expiration and resulting vacancy; the fair value measurement for the property approximated its estimated selling price; we sold this property in May 2022; and $1.0 million on a property based on its estimated selling price; we sold this property in September 2021. Investment Management Goodwill The impairment charges described below are reflected within Impairment charges — Investment Management goodwill in our consolidated statements of income. 2022 — During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized an impairment charge of $29.3 million on goodwill within our Investment Management segment in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value of $0, since future Investment Management cash flows are expected to be minimal following the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3). Equity Method Investments The other-than-temporary impairment charges described below are reflected within Earnings (losses) from equity method investments in our consolidated statements of income. 2021 — During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6.8 million on a jointly owned real estate investment to reduce the carrying value of our investment to its estimated fair value, which declined due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2028. The fair value measurement was determined by estimating discounted cash flows using three significant unobservable inputs, which were the cash flow discount rate (5.75%), residual discount rate (7.50%), and residual capitalization rate (6.75%). W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 92 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 2020 — During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges of $27.8 million and $19.3 million on our equity method investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2, respectively, to reduce the carrying values of our investments to their estimated fair values, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an adverse effect on the operations of CWI 1 and CWI 2. The fair value measurements were estimated based on implied asset value changes and changes in market capitalizations for publicly traded lodging REITs, all of which was obtained from third-party market data. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $8.3 million on a jointly owned real estate investment to reduce the carrying value of our investment to its estimated fair value, which declined due to an uncertain probability of lease renewal with the tenant at the international office facility owned by the investment (lease expiration is in May 2023). The fair value measurement was determined by relying on an estimate of the fair market value of the property and the related mortgage loan, both provided by a third party. Note 10. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments Risk Management In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities, including our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 11) and unhedged variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, Senior Unsecured Notes, other securities, and the limited partnership units we hold in CESH, due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own investments in North America, Europe, and Japan and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative Financial Instruments When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to entering into derivative instruments on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and we may be granted common stock warrants by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include a counterparty to a hedging arrangement defaulting on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive (loss) income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on the cash flow hedges representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with our accounting policy election. Such gains and losses are recorded within Other gains and (losses) or Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income. The earnings recognition of excluded components is presented in the same line item as the hedged transactions. For derivatives designated and that qualify as a net investment hedge, the change in the fair value and/or the net settlement of the derivative is reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of Other comprehensive (loss) income into earnings (within Gain on sale of real estate, net, in our consolidated statements of income) when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. All derivative transactions with an individual counterparty are governed by a master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement, which can be considered as a master netting arrangement; however, we report all our derivative instruments on a gross basis on our consolidated financial statements. At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, no cash collateral had been posted nor received for any of our derivative positions. W. P.

Amounts reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income related to interest rate derivative contracts will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest is incurred on our variable-rate debt. Amounts reported in Other comprehensive (loss) income related to foreign currency derivative contracts will be reclassified to Non-operating income when the hedged foreign currency contracts are settled. As of December 31, 2022, we estimate that an additional $1.6 million and $14.6 million will be reclassified as Interest expense and Non-operating income, respectively, during the next 12 months.

To limit this exposure, we generally seek long-term debt financing on a fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, we or our investment partners have obtained, and may in the future obtain, variable-rate, non- recourse mortgage loans and, as a result, we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap agreements with counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable-rate debt service obligations of a loan to a fixed rate, are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements. The interest rate swaps and caps that our consolidated subsidiaries had outstanding at December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows (currency in thousands): Interest Rate Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments Interest rate swaps Interest rate swaps Interest rate cap __________ Number of Instruments Notional Amount Fair Value at December 31, 2022 (a) 5 2 1 34,918 USD 45,970 EUR 10,452 EUR $ $ 1,399 1,280 14 2,693 (a) Fair value amounts are based on the exchange rate of the euro at December 31, 2022, as applicable. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 95 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Foreign Currency Collars We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the euro and, to a lesser extent, the British pound sterling and certain other currencies. In order to hedge certain of our foreign currency cash flow exposures, we enter into foreign currency collars. A foreign currency collar consists of a written call option and a purchased put option to sell the foreign currency at a range of predetermined exchange rates. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices. Our foreign currency collars have maturities of 62 months or less. The following table presents the foreign currency derivative contracts we had outstanding at December 31, 2022 (currency in thousands): Foreign Currency Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments Foreign currency collars Foreign currency collars Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Instruments Foreign currency collars Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features Number of Instruments Notional Amount Fair Value at December 31, 2022 75 69 4 295,400 EUR 44,520 GBP 29,500 EUR $ $ 25,578 5,608 (248) 30,938 We measure our credit exposure on a counterparty basis as the net positive aggregate estimated fair value of our derivatives, net of any collateral received. No collateral was received as of December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2022, our total credit exposure and the maximum exposure to any single counterparty was $33.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively. Some of the agreements we have with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a declaration of default on our derivative obligations if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on certain of our indebtedness. At December 31, 2022, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The estimated fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position was $1.7 million and $2.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which included accrued interest and any nonperformance risk adjustments. If we had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 2022 or 2021, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their aggregate termination value of $1.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Net Investment Hedges Borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Notes, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and Unsecured Term Loans (all as defined in Note 11) denominated in euro, British pounds sterling, or Japanese yen are designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of our net investments in foreign entities. Exchange rate variations impact our financial results because the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars each period, with the effect of exchange rate variations being recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. As a result, changes in the value of our borrowings under our euro-denominated senior notes and changes in the value of our euro, Japanese yen, and British pound sterling borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, related to changes in the spot rates, will be reported in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments, which are recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income as part of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. Such gains (losses) related to non-derivative net investment hedges were $214.3 million, $255.9 million, and $(280.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 96 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 11. Debt Senior Unsecured Credit Facility On February 20, 2020, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which has capacity of approximately $2.1 billion, comprised of (i) a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving credit facility for our working capital needs, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes (our “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a £150.0 million term loan (our “Term Loan”), and (iii) a €96.5 million delayed draw term loan (our “Delayed Draw Term Loan”). We refer to our Term Loan and Delayed Draw Term Loan collectively as the “Unsecured Term Loans” and the entire facility collectively as our “Senior Unsecured Credit Facility.” In December 2021, the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to transition certain London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)-based rates that were discontinued after December 31, 2021 to successor alternative reference rates. The updated reference rates are included in the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility table below. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, this reference rate transition impacted only our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility. In April 2022, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement to increase the Term Loan to £270.0 million and the Delayed Draw Term Loan to €215.0 million, thereby increasing the total capacity of our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to approximately $2.4 billion. There were no other changes to the terms of our Credit Agreement. We used the approximately $300 million of proceeds from this increase in the capacity of our Unsecured Term Loans to partially repay amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. The Senior Unsecured Credit Facility includes the ability to borrow in certain currencies other than U.S. dollars and has a maturity date of February 20, 2025. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate principal amount (of revolving and term loans) available under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility was able to be increased up to an amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.75 billion, subject to the conditions to increase set forth in the Credit Agreement. In January 2023, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement to (i) transition from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount (of revolving and term loans) available under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility to an amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $3.05 billion, subject to the conditions to increase set forth in the Credit Agreement. See Note 18, Subsequent Events for more information about this amendment. At December 31, 2022, our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility had available capacity of approximately $1.5 billion (net of amounts reserved for standby letters of credit totaling $0.6 million). We incur an annual facility fee of 0.20% of the total commitment on our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, which is included within Interest expense in our consolidated statements of income.

Carey 2022 10-K – 97 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (d) Interest rate includes both a spread adjustment to the base rate and a credit spread. (e) EURIBOR means Euro Interbank Offered Rate. (f) TIBOR means Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate. Senior Unsecured Notes As set forth in the table below, we have euro and U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes outstanding with an aggregate principal balance outstanding of $6.0 billion at December 31, 2022 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”). On September 28, 2022, we completed a private placement of (i) €150 million of 3.41% Senior Notes due 2029, which have a 7-year term and are scheduled to mature on September 28, 2029, and (ii) €200 million of 3.70% Senior Notes due 2032, which have a 10-year term and are scheduled to mature on September 28, 2032. We redeemed the €500.0 million of 2.0% Senior Notes due 2023 in March 2021. In connection with this redemption, we paid a “make-whole” amount of $26.2 million (based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of redemption) and recognized a loss on extinguishment of $28.2 million, which is included within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2021. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable annually in arrears for our euro-denominated senior notes and semi-annually for U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes can be redeemed at par within three months of their respective maturities, or we can call the notes at any time for the principal, accrued interest, and a make-whole amount based upon the applicable government bond yield plus 20 to 35 basis points.

In connection with the private placement of the €150 million of 3.41% Senior Notes due 2029 and the €200 million of 3.70% Senior Notes due 2032 in September 2022, we incurred financing costs totaling $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Senior Unsecured Notes, net in the consolidated financial statements and are being amortized to Interest expense over the term of their respective Senior Notes. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 98 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Covenants The Credit Agreement, each of the Senior Unsecured Notes, and certain of our non-recourse mortgage loan agreements include customary financial maintenance covenants that require us to maintain certain ratios and benchmarks at the end of each quarter. The Credit Agreement also contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries, subject to materiality and other qualifications, baskets, and exceptions as outlined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all of these covenants at December 31, 2022. We may make unlimited Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as long as no non-payment default or financial covenant default has occurred before, or would on a pro forma basis occur as a result of, the Restricted Payment. In addition, we may make Restricted Payments in an amount required to (i) maintain our REIT status and (ii) as a result of that status, not pay federal or state income or excise tax, as long as the loans under the Credit Agreement have not been accelerated and no bankruptcy or event of default has occurred. Obligations under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default as defined in the Credit Agreement, including failure to pay any principal when due and payable, failure to pay interest within five business days after becoming due, failure to comply with any covenant, representation or condition of any loan document, any change of control, cross-defaults, and certain other events as set forth in the Credit Agreement, with grace periods in some cases. Non-Recourse Mortgages Non-recourse mortgages consist of mortgage notes payable, which are collateralized by the assignment of real estate properties. For a list of our encumbered properties, please see Schedule III — Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. At December 31, 2022, the weighted-average interest rate for our total non-recourse mortgage notes payable was 4.3% (fixed-rate and variable-rate non-recourse mortgage notes payable were 4.4% and 4.1%, respectively), with maturity dates ranging from January 2023 to April 2039. CPA:18 Merger In connection with the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022 (Note 3), we assumed property-level debt comprised of non-recourse mortgage loans with fair values totaling $900.2 million and recorded an aggregate fair market value net discount of $13.1 million. The fair market value net discount will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining lives of the related loans. These non-recourse mortgage loans had a weighted-average annual interest rate of 5.1% on the merger date. Repayments During 2022 During the year ended December 31, 2022, we (i) repaid non-recourse mortgage loans at or close to maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $104.7 million, and (ii) prepaid non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $10.4 million. We recognized an aggregate net loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million on these repayments, which is included within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income. The weighted- average interest rate for these non-recourse mortgage loans on their respective dates of repayment was 4.4%. Repayments During 2021 During the year ended December 31, 2021, we (i) prepaid non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $745.1 million, and (ii) repaid non-recourse mortgage loans at or close to maturity with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $32.7 million. We recognized an aggregate net loss on extinguishment of debt of $47.2 million on these repayments, primarily comprised of prepayment penalties totaling $45.2 million, which is included within Other gains and (losses) on our consolidated statements of income. The weighted-average interest rate for these non-recourse mortgage loans on their respective dates of repayment was 4.8%. Interest Paid For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, interest paid was $191.0 million, $190.8 million, and $190.6 million, respectively. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 99 Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Impact During the year ended December 31, 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, resulting in an aggregate decrease of $224.4 million in the aggregate carrying values of our Non-recourse mortgages, net, Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, and Senior Unsecured Notes, net from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Scheduled Debt Principal Payments Scheduled debt principal payments as of December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands): Years Ending December 31, 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Thereafter through 2039 Total principal payments Unamortized discount, net Unamortized deferred financing costs Total $ $ Total 456,708 1,231,468 1,664,276 983,425 533,760 3,070,039 7,939,676 (35,936) (25,992) 7,877,748 Certain amounts are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at December 31, 2022. Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies At December 31, 2022, we were not involved in any material litigation. Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Note 13. Equity Common Stock Dividends paid to stockholders consist of ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof for income tax purposes. Our dividends per share are summarized as follows: Ordinary income Return of capital Capital gains Total dividends paid Dividends Paid During the Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 $ $ 4.0329 $ 0.1718 0.0273 4.2320 $ 3.3300 $ 0.5407 0.3253 4.1960 $ 3.3112 — 0.8528 4.1640 During the fourth quarter of 2022, our Board declared a quarterly dividend of $1.065 per share, which was paid on January 13, 2023 to stockholders of record as of December 30, 2022. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 100 Earnings Per Share The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings (dollars in thousands): Net income – basic and diluted Weighted-average shares outstanding – basic Effect of dilutive securities Weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 $ 599,139 $ 409,988 $ 455,359 199,633,802 793,322 200,427,124 182,486,476 640,622 183,127,098 174,504,406 335,022 174,839,428 For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share were insignificant. ATM Program On May 2, 2022, we established a continuous “at-the-market” offering program (“ATM Program”) with a syndicate of banks, pursuant to which shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1.0 billion may be sold (i) directly through or to the banks acting as sales agents or as principal for their own accounts or (ii) through or to participating banks or their affiliates acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers pursuant to a forward sale agreement (our “ATM Forwards”). Effective as of that date, we terminated a prior ATM Program that was established on August 9, 2019, under which we were able to offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $750.0 million, with a syndicate of banks. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the issuance of shares of our common stock under our prior ATM Program during the periods presented (net proceeds in thousands): Shares of common stock issued Weighted-average price per share Net proceeds Forward Equity Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 $ $ 2,740,295 80.79 $ 218,081 $ 4,690,073 73.42 $ 339,968 $ 2,500 72.05 159 We expect to settle the ATM Forwards in full on or prior to the maturity date of each ATM Forward via physical delivery of the outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds. However, subject to certain exceptions, we may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any ATM Forwards. The forward sale price that we will receive upon physical settlement of the ATM Forwards will be (i) subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread (i.e., if the specified daily rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the applicable forward sale price) and (ii) decreased based on amounts related to expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the ATM Forwards. We determined that our ATM Forwards meet the criteria for equity classification and are therefore exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the ATM Forwards at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification. From time to time, we have entered into underwriting agreements and forward sale agreements with syndicates of banks acting as underwriters, forward sellers, and/or forward purchasers in connection with public offerings of our common stock. At the closing of these transactions, the offered shares were borrowed from third parties by the banks acting as forward purchasers and sold to the underwriters for distribution at the respective gross offering prices. As a result of this forward construct, we did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the closing of each offering, but rather at later settlement dates. We have determined that the forward sale agreements meet the criteria for equity classification and are therefore exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the forward sale agreements at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 101 We refer to our three forward equity offerings presented below as the June 2020 Equity Forwards, June 2021 Equity Forwards, and August 2021 Equity Forwards (collectively, the “Equity Forwards”).

W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 103 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 14. Stock-Based and Other Compensation Stock-Based Compensation At December 31, 2022, we maintained several stock-based compensation plans as described below. The total compensation expense (net of forfeitures) for awards issued under these plans was $32.8 million, $24.9 million, and $15.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, which was included in Stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements. The tax (expense) benefit recognized by us related to these awards totaled $(4.3) million, $0.8 million, and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were reflected as a deferred tax benefit within (Provision for) benefit from income taxes in the consolidated financial statements. 2017 Share Incentive Plan We maintain the 2017 Share Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. The 2017 Share Incentive Plan provides for the grant of various stock- and cash-based awards, including (i) share options, (ii) RSUs, (iii) PSUs, (iv) RSAs, and (v) dividend equivalent rights. At December 31, 2022, 2,186,067 shares remained available for issuance under the 2017 Share Incentive Plan, which is more fully described in the 2019 Annual Report. Employee Share Purchase Plan We sponsor an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”) pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of compensation, subject to certain limits, to purchase our common stock semi-annually at a price equal to 90% of the fair market value at certain plan defined dates. Compensation expense under this plan for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was less than $0.1 million. Cash received from purchases under the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $0.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. Restricted and Conditional Awards Nonvested RSAs, RSUs, and PSUs at December 31, 2022 and changes during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were as follows: (b) Nonvested at January 1, 2020 Granted (a) Vested Forfeited Adjustment Nonvested at December 31, 2020 Granted (a) Vested Forfeited Adjustment Nonvested at December 31, 2021 Granted (a) Vested Forfeited Adjustment (b) (b) (c) Nonvested at December 31, 2022 (d) __________ RSA and RSU Awards PSU Awards Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value 283,977 $ 146,162 (163,607) (5,555) — 260,977 194,940 (137,267) (11,656) — 306,994 235,348 (154,028) (12,016) — 376,298 $ 68.51 81.02 69.62 71.69 — 74.75 66.40 71.99 60.98 — 71.21 80.28 72.80 75.93 — 74.78 331,242 $ 90,518 (156,838) (6,715) 3,806 262,013 134,290 (151,678) (16,463) 170,093 398,255 144,311 (165,615) (4,262) 159,092 531,781 $ 80.90 104.65 80.42 88.94 62.07 88.99 86.19 76.04 93.91 71.17 86.86 104.97 92.16 98.26 80.90 89.14 W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 104 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (a) The grant date fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $26.5 million, $21.4 million, and $24.0 million, respectively. Employees have the option to take immediate delivery of the shares upon vesting or defer receipt to a future date pursuant to previously made deferral elections. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had an obligation to issue 1,181,947 and 1,104,020 shares, respectively, of our common stock underlying such deferred awards, which is recorded within Total stockholders’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $57.0 million and $49.8 million, respectively. (b) Vesting and payment of the PSUs is conditioned upon certain company and/or market performance goals being met during the relevant three-year performance period. The ultimate number of PSUs to be vested will depend on the extent to which the performance goals are met and can range from zero to three times the original awards. As a result, we recorded adjustments to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs vest. (c) The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs reflect our stock price on the date of grant on a one-for-one basis. The grant date fair value of PSUs was determined utilizing (i) a Monte Carlo simulation model to generate an estimate of our future stock price over the three-year performance period and (ii) future financial performance projections. To estimate the fair value of PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, we used a risk-free interest rate of 1.2%, an expected volatility rate of 36.7%, and assumed a dividend yield of zero. (d) At December 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards was approximately $34.4 million, with an aggregate weighted-average remaining term of 1.8 years. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the ultimate number of PSUs we expect to vest (based upon the extent to which we have met and expect to meet the performance goals) and where appropriate, revise our estimate and associated expense. We do not revise the associated expense on PSUs expected to vest based on market performance. Upon vesting, the RSUs and PSUs may be converted into shares of our common stock. Both the RSUs and PSUs carry dividend equivalent rights. Dividend equivalent rights on RSUs issued under the predecessor employee plan are paid in cash on a quarterly basis, whereas dividend equivalent rights on RSUs issued under the 2017 Share Incentive Plan are accrued and paid in cash only when the underlying shares vest, which is generally on an annual basis. Dividend equivalents on PSUs accrue during the performance period and are converted into additional shares of common stock at the conclusion of the performance period to the extent the PSUs vest. Dividend equivalent rights are accounted for as a reduction to retained earnings to the extent that the awards are expected to vest. Profit-Sharing Plan We sponsor a qualified profit-sharing plan and trust that generally permits all employees, as defined by the plan, to make pre-tax contributions into the plan. We are under no obligation to contribute to the plan and the amount of any contribution is determined by and at the discretion of our Board. In December 2022, 2021, and 2020, our Board determined that the contribution to the plan for each of those respective years would be 10% of an eligible participant’s cash compensation, up to the legal maximum allowable in each of those years of $30,500 for 2022, $29,000 for 2021, and $28,500 for 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, amounts expensed for contributions to the trust were $2.3 million, $2.2 million, and $1.9 million, respectively, which were included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. The profit-sharing plan is a deferred compensation plan and is therefore considered to be outside the scope of current accounting guidance for stock-based compensation. W. P.

(b) Pre-tax income attributable to taxable subsidiaries for 2022 includes taxable income, recognized in connection with the CPA:18 Merger, associated with the accelerated vesting of shares previously issued by CPA:18 – Global to us for asset management services performed. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 106 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (c) Amount for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes an aggregate deferred tax benefit of $37.2 million as a result of the release of a deferred tax liability relating to our investment in shares of Lineage Logistics (Note 9), which converted to a REIT during the year and is therefore no longer subject to federal and state income taxes Benefit from income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a deferred tax benefit of $6.3 million as a result of the other-than-temporary impairment charges that we recognized on our equity method investments in CWI 1 and CWI 2 during the year (Note 9). In light of the COVID-19 outbreak during the first quarter of 2020, we continue to monitor domestic and international tax considerations and the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) (U.S. federal legislation enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic) provides that net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, or 2020 may be carried back to offset taxable income earned during the five-year period prior to the year in which the net operating loss was incurred. As a result, we recognized a $4.7 million current tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2020 by carrying back certain net operating losses, which is included in Benefit from income taxes disclosed in the tables above. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes at December 31, 2022 and 2021 consist of the following (in thousands): Deferred Tax Assets (a) Net operating loss and other tax credit carryforwards Basis differences — foreign investments Unearned and deferred compensation Lease liabilities Other Total deferred tax assets Valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets Deferred Tax Liabilities (a) Basis differences — foreign investments ROU assets Basis differences — equity investees Total deferred tax liabilities Net Deferred Tax Liability __________ December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ 63,454 $ 62,099 643 — 1,242 127,438 (106,185) 21,253 (179,761) — — (179,761) (158,508) $ 55,147 52,705 15,895 14,752 374 138,873 (108,812) 30,061 (145,524) (12,637) (1,195) (159,356) (129,295) (a) Balances represent our basis differences for our office leases on domestic taxable subsidiaries. Basis differences on our foreign ground leases are included within the line item Basis differences — foreign investments. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are primarily the result of temporary differences related to the following: • • • Basis differences between tax and GAAP for certain international real estate investments. For income tax purposes, in certain acquisitions, we assume the seller’s basis, or the carry-over basis, in the acquired assets. The carry-over basis is typically lower than the purchase price, or the GAAP basis, resulting in a deferred tax liability with an offsetting increase to goodwill or the acquired tangible or intangible assets; Timing differences generated by differences in the GAAP basis and the tax basis of assets such as those related to capitalized acquisition costs, straight-line rent, prepaid rents, and intangible assets, as well as unearned and deferred compensation; Basis differences in equity investments represents fees earned in shares recognized under GAAP into income and deferred for U.S. taxes based upon a share vesting schedule; and W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 107 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements • Tax net operating losses in certain subsidiaries, including those domiciled in foreign jurisdictions, that may be realized in future periods if the respective subsidiary generates sufficient taxable income. Certain net operating losses and interest carryforwards were subject to limitations as a result of the CPA:18 Merger, and thus could not be applied to reduce future income tax liabilities. As of December 31, 2022, U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards were $17.5 million and $11.4 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2033. As of December 31, 2022, net operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions were $90.6 million, which will begin to expire in 2023. The net deferred tax liability in the table above is comprised of deferred tax asset balances, net of certain deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowances, of $20.5 million and $16.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets, and other deferred tax liability balances of $179.0 million and $145.6 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in Deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets. Our taxable subsidiaries recognize tax positions in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized on settlement. A liability is established for differences between positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands): Beginning balance Decrease due to lapse in statute of limitations Increase due to CPA:18 Merger Addition based on tax positions related to the prior year Foreign currency translation adjustments Addition based on tax positions related to the current year Ending balance Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 $ $ 5,994 $ (2,847) 2,694 543 (407) 241 6,218 $ 6,312 (508) — 315 (451) 326 5,994 At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had unrecognized tax benefits as presented in the table above that, if recognized, would have a favorable impact on our effective income tax rate in future periods. These unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as liabilities within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had approximately $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income Taxes Paid Income taxes paid were $42.6 million, $44.3 million, and $43.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Real Estate Operations We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective as of February 15, 2012. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our REIT net taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on our income and gains that we distribute to our stockholders as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We believe that we have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner that allows us to continue to qualify as a REIT. We conduct business primarily in North America and Europe, and as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 108 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Investment Management Operations We conduct our investment management services in our Investment Management segment through TRSs. Our use of TRSs enables us to engage in certain businesses while complying with the REIT qualification requirements and also allows us to retain income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement to distribute those earnings. Certain of our inter-company transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation. Tax authorities in the relevant jurisdictions may select our tax returns for audit and propose adjustments before the expiration of the statute of limitations. Our tax returns filed for tax years 2017 through 2021 or any ongoing audits remain open to adjustment in the major tax jurisdictions. Note 16. Property Dispositions We have an active capital recycling program, with a goal of extending the average lease term through reinvestment, improving portfolio credit quality through dispositions and acquisitions of assets, increasing the asset criticality factor in our portfolio, and/or executing strategic dispositions of assets. We may decide to dispose of a property when it is vacant as a result of tenants vacating space, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re- leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. All property dispositions are recorded within our Real Estate segment and are also discussed in Note 5 and Note 6. 2022 — During the year ended December 31, 2022, we sold 23 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $234.7 million, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $43.5 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $5.3 million recognized upon sale). This disposition activity included two properties acquired in the CPA:18 Merger, one of which was classified as assets held for sale and sold in August 2022 (Note 3, Note 5). 2021 — During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 24 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $163.6 million, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $40.4 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $4.7 million recognized upon sale). 2020 — During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold 22 properties for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $366.5 million (inclusive of $4.7 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest), and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $109.4 million (inclusive of income taxes totaling $3.0 million recognized upon sale and $0.6 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest). Disposition activity included the sale of one of our two hotel operating properties in January 2020 for total proceeds, net of selling costs, of $103.5 million (inclusive of $4.7 million attributable to a noncontrolling interest).

W. P. Carey 2022 10-K – 111 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (b) Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses attributed to our Investment Management segment are comprised of the incremental costs of providing services to the Managed Programs, which are fully reimbursed by those funds (resulting in no net expense for us). All other general and administrative expenses are attributed to our Real Estate segment. Previously, general and administrative expenses were allocated based on time incurred by our personnel for the Real Estate and Investment Management segments. In addition, beginning with the second quarter of 2020, stock-based compensation expense and corporate depreciation and amortization expense are fully recognized within our Real Estate segment. In light of the termination of the advisory agreements with CWI 1 and CWI 2 in connection with the WLT management internalization (Note 4), as well as the termination of the advisory agreements with CPA:18 – Global in connection with the CPA:18 Merger (Note 3), we now view essentially all assets, liabilities, and operational expenses as part of our Real Estate segment, other than incremental activities that are expected to wind down as we manage CESH through the end of its life cycle (Note 2). These changes between the segments had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. (c) Following the CPA:18 Merger on August 1, 2022, we no longer own an equity investment in CPA:18 – Global, which was previously included within our Investment Management segment (Note 3, Note 8). In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded an impairment charge of $29.3 million on goodwill within our Investment Management segment (Note 7, Note 9). Our portfolio is comprised of domestic and international investments. At December 31, 2022, our international investments within our Real Estate segment were comprised of investments in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Denmark, Croatia, Canada, Norway, Mexico, Finland, Lithuania, Hungary, Portugal, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Japan, Mauritius, Latvia, and Estonia. No tenant or international country individually comprised at least 10% of our total lease revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020, or at least 10% of our total long-lived assets at December 31, 2022 or 2021.

Issuances Under our ATM Program In January 2023, we sold 353,264 shares of our common stock through our ATM Forwards at a weighted-average price of $81.94 per share for anticipated net proceeds of approximately $29 million (Note 13). Amended Credit Facility In January 2023, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (Note 11) to (i) replace the benchmark rate at which U.S.-dollar- denominated borrowings bear interest from LIBOR to the forward-looking SOFR and (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount (of revolving and term loans) available under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility from an amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.75 billion to $3.05 billion, subject to the conditions to increase set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of December 31, 2022 at a reasonable level of assurance. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, we used criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we concluded that, at December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and in connection therewith, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has issued an attestation report on the Company’s effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, as stated in their report in Item 8. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Unless otherwise directed by an L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the first anniversary of the Maturity Date; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Credit Lender or the Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension. (iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. (iv) If the expiry date of any Letter of Credit (including any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit) would occur after the Maturity Date, the Parent Borrower hereby agrees that it will not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued or extended on or after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, on the date of such issuance or extension, as applicable) Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the L/C Obligations arising in connection with such Letter of Credit. (b) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof (such notification provided by such L/C Issuer to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent being referred to herein as an “L/C Draw Notice”). If an L/C Draw Notice with respect to a Letter of Credit is received by the Parent Borrower (x) on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date a payment is made by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit being referred to herein as an “Honor Date”), then, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, the Parent Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency or (y) after 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the Honor Date under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency, then, not later than 1:00 p.m. under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency on the first Business Day following the Honor Date, Parent Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency (such date on which the Parent Borrower, pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, is required to reimburse (or cause to be reimbursed) the applicable L/C Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit is 73 referred to herein as the “L/C Reimbursement Date”); provided, however, that if the L/C Reimbursement Date for a drawing under a Letter of Credit is the Business Day following the Honor Date pursuant to clause (y) of this sentence, the Unreimbursed Amount shall accrue interest from and including the Honor Date until such time as the applicable L/C Issuer is reimbursed in full therefor (whether through payment by the Parent Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary and/or through a Loan or L/C Borrowing made in accordance with paragraph (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.04(c)) at a rate equal to (A) for the period from and including the Honor Date to but excluding the first Business Day to occur thereafter, the rate of interest then applicable to a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan and (B) thereafter, at the Default Rate applicable to a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan. Interest accruing on the Unreimbursed Amount pursuant to the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable by the Parent Borrower promptly to the Administrative Agent, solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer. If the Parent Borrower fails to (or fails to cause the applicable Subsidiary to) timely reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Dollar Tranche Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Dollar Tranche Percentage thereof. In such event, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Dollar Tranche to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Dollar Tranche Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Parent Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in its L/C Draw Notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Parent Borrower shall have notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the L/C Draw Notice that the Parent Borrower will (or will cause the applicable Subsidiary to) reimburse such L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the preceding two sentences and (B) the Dollar amount paid (or caused to be paid by) the Parent Borrower, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the Parent Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the applicable L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. (i) Each Dollar Tranche Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar denominated payments in an amount equal to its Dollar Tranche Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Dollar Tranche Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Dollar Tranche that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such 74 amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars. (ii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Dollar Tranche Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04. (iii) Until each Dollar Tranche Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Dollar Tranche Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer. (iv) Each Dollar Tranche Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Dollar Tranche Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Parent Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. (v) If any Dollar Tranche Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be as of the date of such Borrowing or L/C Advance. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Dollar Tranche Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of 75 Lender’s L/C Advance or proceeds of such Dollar Tranche Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of an L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Dollar Tranche Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. (i) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) and paid to the Dollar Tranche Lenders entitled thereto is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by an L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Dollar Tranche Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Dollar Tranche Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; provided that, any demand made by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the immediately following Business Day. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (d) Obligations Absolute.

The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender such Lender’s applicable share of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR Committed Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Floating RateDaily SOFR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Floating RateDaily SOFR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Parent Borrower and the applicable Designated Borrower if any, jointly and severally, and the applicable Lender severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the applicable Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Parent Borrower or a Designated Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility. If the Parent Borrower or a Designated Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Parent Borrower or such Designated Borrower, as applicable, the amount of such interest paid by the Parent Borrower or such Designated Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing as of the date of such Borrowing. Any payment by the Parent Borrower or a Designated Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Parent Borrower or such Designated Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. (i) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Designated Borrower) prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower designated in such notice will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such payment has not in fact been made, With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by such Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the applicable L/C IssuerIssuers, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amountRescindable Amount so distributed to such Appropriate Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the 90 Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Parent Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. (f) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. (g) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c). (h) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. (i) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due such parties. 1.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities due and payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) Total Outstandings then due and payable to such Lender (with the aggregate amount of such Lender’s risk participation and funded participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans being deemed “owing” to such Lender for purposes hereof) to (ii) Total Outstandings then due and payable to all Lenders) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) Total Outstandings owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time (with the aggregate amount of such Lender’s risk participation and funded participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans being deemed “owing” to such Lender for purposes hereof) to (ii) Total Outstandings owing (but not due and payable) at such time) of payments obtained by all of the Lenders at such time on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C 91 Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that: (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Company or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies will automatically, at any time that the Administrative Agent determines it necessary or desirable to calculate the pro rata share of the Lenders under this Section 2.14 or Section 8.03, be converted on a notional basis into the Dollar Equivalent thereof solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 2.14 or Section 8.03. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 1.15 [Intentionally Omitted]. 1.16 Increase in Commitments. (a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower, may from time to time, elect to increase the Facilities to an amount not exceeding the Dollar Equivalent of $2,750,000,0003,050,000,000 (as determined by the Administrative Agent on the applicable Increase Effective Date) by increasing the Revolving Credit Facility and/or the Term Facility and/or after the Delayed Draw Termination Date, the Delayed Draw Term Facility, or, if the Term Facility has been terminated or is otherwise no longer outstanding, with a new term facility on substantially the same terms as the Term Facility (and after the Increase Effective Date with respect thereto all references to the “Term Facility” herein and in any other Loan Documents shall mean such new term facility (the “New Term Facility”)); provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or a whole multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, or such other amount agreed to by the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

In the event that the increase in the applicable Facility results in any change to the Applicable Percentage of any Appropriate Lender, then on the Increase Effective Date, as applicable, (i) the participation interests of the Appropriate Lenders in any outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be automatically reallocated among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Dollar Tranche Percentages or Applicable Tranche Percentages, as the case may be, after giving effect to such increase, (ii) any new Lender, and any existing Lender whose Commitment has increased, shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amounts as are necessary to fund its new or increased share of all Revolving Credit Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (iii) the Administrative Agent will use the proceeds thereof to pay to all existing Lenders whose Applicable Percentage with respect to any Facility is decreasing such amounts as are necessary so that each Lender’s share of all Revolving Credit Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, will be equal to its adjusted Applicable Percentage of such Facility, and (iv) if the Increase Effective Date occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to any outstanding Loan that is a EurocurrencyTerm Rate Loan, then the Borrowers shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 on account of the payments made pursuant to clause (iii) of this sentence. contrary. (e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or 11.01 to the 1.17 Cash Collateral. (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by all Defaulting Lenders). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such Outstanding Amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.

If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. (g) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.18 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation), and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. (h) Release.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). (B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17. 96 (C) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.10(a), Section 2.10(b) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuers’ or the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Dollar Tranche Percentages and Applicable Tranche Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Dollar Tranche Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment), and all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but, in each case, only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non- Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 11.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Parent Borrower may at any time, upon not less than 30 days’ notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter 97 period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans, Competitive Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”); provided that the designation of an Applicant Borrower organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Netherlands or Germany as a Designated Borrower shall require the consent of each Alternative Currency Tranche Lender and the Swing Line Lender; provided, further that the designation of an Applicant Borrower organized under the laws of Canada, the United Kingdom, Netherlands or Germany shall require the consent of each Alternative Currency Tranche Lender and the Swing Line Lender if any Change in Law adversely affects the legality or ability of an Alternative Currency Tranche Lender to make Loans to such Applicant Borrower or to conduct business in the jurisdiction of organization of such Applicant Borrower.

Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower. (m) The Parent Borrower may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. Such Designated Borrower shall also be released from its obligations under the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, provided that such Designated Borrower (or if such Designated Borrower is not a Domestic 99 Subsidiary, the most immediate parents of such Subsidiary that are Domestic Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower (if any)) is not, or substantially contemporaneously with the termination of such Designated Borrower’s status as such would not be, required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. (ii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. (iii) If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant (a) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the 100 Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. (b) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 the Parent Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below. (i) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Party to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party 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 and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). (c) Evidence of Payments.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii) (D) below or (B) required by applicable law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty, (II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the 102 Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W- 8BEN, as applicable); or (IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W- 8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) 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 Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent 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 Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent 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. (ii) In case of an advance by a Lender to a Designated UK Borrower: (A) A UK Treaty Lender and a Designated UK Borrower which makes a payment to which that UK Treaty Lender is entitled shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Designated UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax. (B) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the date on which this Agreement is entered into which holds a passport under the 103 HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and which desires that such scheme should apply to this Agreement shall on or before the date on which this Agreement is entered into indicate to the Administrative Agent that it wishes the scheme to apply to Credit Extensions made by it to a Designated UK Borrower under this Agreement and provide the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower with its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence. (C) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the Closing Date and which holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and desires that such scheme should apply to this Agreement shall indicate to the Administrative Agent that it wishes the scheme to apply to Credit Extensions made by it to a Designated UK Borrower under this Agreement and provide the Administrative Agent with its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Assumption which it executes, and having done so, that UK Treaty Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section (iii)(A) above. (D) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section (B) or (C) above and (1) a Designated UK Borrower that is making a payment to that Lender has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender or (2) a Designated UK Borrower that is making a payment to that Lender has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but (a) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by H.M. Revenue & Customs or (b) H.M. Revenue & Customs has not given such Designated UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without any deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing, and, in each case, such Designated UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and such Designated UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Designated UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without any deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax. (E) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section (B) or (C) above, no Designated UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender'’s Commitment or its participation in any utilization of a Credit Extension unless the Lender otherwise agrees. (F) Each Designated UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent and to the relevant Lender. (G) In the case of a Credit Extension made to a Designated UK Borrower, a UK Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation. (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it 104 shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (iv) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). (e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties (other than those stated to be imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender), interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be treated as payments made by the applicable Loan Party. (f) Payments made by Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments made by the Lender treated as Partnership. If any Lender is treated as a partnership for purposes of an applicable Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, any withholding made by such Lender shall be treated as if such withholding had been made by the Parent Borrower or a Designated Borrower or the Administrative Agent. (g) L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender. (h) L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” shall include the (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 1.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable 105 Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate or the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency)a Relevant Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate or the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lendera Relevant Rate or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, onupon notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent Borrower Borrowers (through the Administrative Agent), (ia) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, or maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, to make or maintain Daily SOFR Loans, to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Floating RateDaily SOFR Loans to EurocurrencyTerm SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, to Daily SOFR Loans shall be, in each case, suspended, or, in the case of LIBOR Floating Rate Loans, to convert Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans in Dollars to LIBOR Floating Rate Loans and (iib) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Parent BorrowerBorrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (xi) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable, in the affected currency or currencies or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Floating RateSOFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR component of the Base Rate), in each case, immediately, or, in the case of LIBOR Floating RateTerm SOFR Loans and, in the case of Eurocurrency Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, eitherLoan, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (yii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency RateTerm SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parent Borrower has been notified that any Lender has made a determination described in the first sentence of this Section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Parent Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Loans, if any, made by such affected Lenders in an Alternative Currency (the “Affected Loans”), in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Affected Loans of each affected Lender until (1) such Lender revokes the notice delivered under the first sentence of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Affected Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any 106 Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower written notice thereof. 1.03 Inability to Determine Rates; Replacement of Relevant Rates or Successor Rates.

or (ii) the administrator of the applicable rate or a GovernmentalApplicable Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBORall tenors of the Relevant Rate (other than SOFR) for an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) under this Agreement shall or will no longer be representative or made available with respect to Dollars or an Alternative Currency, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Loanssyndicated loans denominated in Dollars or an Alternativesuch Agreed Currency (other than Dollars), or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR for the applicable currency(iessuch representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate (other than SOFR) afterfor such specific date (such specific dateAgreed Currency (other than Dollars) (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency (other 109 than Dollars) under this Agreement are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or;

Any Adjustmentadjustment and Successor Rate agreed and proposed to the Required Lenders in the context of a Successor Rate Amendment shall be in form and substance acceptable to each of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower;; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in any event approve such terms as are generally no less favorable to the Parent Borrower than corresponding terms included in similar facilities for similarly situated borrowers in general, but not necessarily all such borrowers in transactions in which Bank of America serves as administrative agent;; provided, further, that nothing herein shall obligate the Administrative Agent to disclose any information regarding other borrowers or facilities. (e) Exclusion of Certain Lenders.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Parent Borrower will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Parent Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Parent Borrower shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor 112 (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).

The Parent Borrower shall pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan and/or Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate Loan and/or LIBOR Floating Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans and/or Daily Floating Eurocurrency Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Floating Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Parent Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice. 1.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Parent Borrower shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period, as applicable, for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); (a) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert into any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Parent Borrower (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Designated Borrower); (b) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; (c) therefor as a result of a request by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; or (d) any assignment of a EurocurrencyTerm Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period (e) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan. including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the 113 performance of any foreign exchange contract.

The Parent Borrower hereby agrees to pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment. (a) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Parent Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13. 1.07 Survival.

Article i ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 1.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each of the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America 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 Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative 139 Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party 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. 1.02 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 with the Borrowers 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. 1.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 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: (a) and is continuing; shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred (b) 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; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (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 11.01 and 8.02) 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. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer; and The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this 140 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 Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 1.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, 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 not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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. 1.05 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 Article 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 credit facilities provided for herein 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. 1.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (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 and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 141 (a) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is (i) a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof or (ii) determined, by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, to be grossly negligent in the performance of its material obligations and/or duties hereunder or to have engaged in willful misconduct in the performance of such obligations and/or duties, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Parent Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date. (b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then 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 and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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 (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.01(j) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent. (c) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo Bank, resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c). If Bank of America resigns as the Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to 142 Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment by the Parent Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or the retiring Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and the retiring Swing Line Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 1.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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 and each L/C Issuer 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. 1.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Co- Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents, Senior Managing Agents or Managing Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder. 1.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation 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 any Loan Party) 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, the L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(h) and (i), 2.10 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and distribute the same; (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, 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 2.10 and 11.04. 143 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 or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer or in any such proceeding. 1.10 Guaranty Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.09, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if required pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. 1.11 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender. 144 (b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Bookrunners and their respective Affiliates and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Bookrunner or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto). 1.12 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Recipient Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender Recipient Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender Recipient Party in Same Day Funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Recipient Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Recipient Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Article j CONTINUING GUARANTY 1.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, and whether arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (for each Guarantor, subject to the proviso in this sentence, its “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that the liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Guarantor that is a Designated Borrower individually with respect to this Guaranty shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. The Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantors, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, 145 or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing. 1.02 Rights of Lenders. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Creditor Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, without the consent of such Guarantor, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, sell, or otherwise dispose of, or impair or fail to perfect any Lien on, any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any other Guarantor or one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of one or more of the Guarantors. 1.03 Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Creditor Party) of the liability of any Borrower (other than the defense of prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations); (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any requirement to proceed against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Creditor Party whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Creditor Party; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses (other than the defense of prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. 1.04 Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, and a separate action may be brought against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not any Borrower or any other Person is joined as a party. For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of all the Guarantors. 1.05 Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the Commitments and the Facilities are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Creditor Parties 146 and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Creditor Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. 1.06 Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments and the Facilities with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any of the Creditor Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Creditor Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Creditor Parties are in possession of or have released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty. 1.07 Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Loan Party owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Creditor Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that such Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest on such obligations and indebtedness from any Borrower, except upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing subordination, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Creditor Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Creditor Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, if the Creditor Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Borrower to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Creditor Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Creditor Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty. 1.08 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors immediately upon demand by the Creditor Parties. 1.09 Condition of Loan Parties. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Loan Parties and any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Loan Parties and any such other guarantor as such Guarantor requires, and that none of the Creditor Parties has any duty, and such Guarantor is not relying on the Creditor Parties at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (such Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Creditor Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same). 147 1.10 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors that are not Intermediate Holding Companies. With respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is not an Intermediate Holding Company: (a) In the event that (i) all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by Section 7.05(d) (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to a Borrower or any other Loan Party) or (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor will no longer be a borrower or guarantor of, or otherwise have payment obligations in respect of, any Indebtedness of the type described in clause (a) of such definition that is not (x) owing to any of the Consolidated Businesses or (y) Secured Indebtedness (including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness (other than Secured Indebtedness) that is incurred under or in connection with notes or bonds issued in a Rule 144A Transaction), then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents; provided, that the Parent Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least two Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in writing), a written request for release (a “Guarantor Release Notice”), together with an certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower certifying that (x) in the case of clause (i) above, such sale or disposition is as a result of a transaction permitted under this Agreement and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, as of the effective date of such release (as set forth in the Guarantor Release Notice) such Subsidiary Guarantor will not be a borrower or guarantor of, or otherwise have payment obligations in respect of, any Indebtedness of the type described in clause (a) of such definition that is not (A) owing to any of the Consolidated Businesses or (B) Secured Indebtedness (including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness (other than Secured Indebtedness) that is incurred under or in connection with notes or bonds issued in a Rule 144A Transaction). The Administrative Agent will (at the sole cost of the Borrowers) following receipt of such Guarantor Release Notice and certificate of a Responsible Officer, and each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to, execute and deliver such documents as the Parent Borrower or any such Subsidiary Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, which documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such release hereunder, and this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be deemed amended to delete the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor released pursuant to Section 10.10(a). (b) 1.11 Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Guaranty, the right of contribution of each Guarantor against each other Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Guarantor who either has not made any payments or has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Guarantors multiplied by (y) the 148 Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Guarantor. A Guarantor’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment at the time of each computation; provided, that no Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until after all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments and the Facilities with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 10.11 against any other Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Guaranty. As used in this Section 10.11, (i) each Guarantor’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Guarantors; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Guaranty) on such date. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 10.11, each Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Guarantor in respect of such payment until after all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments and the Facilities with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. Each of the Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain Solvent, in the determination of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. 1.12 Release of Company. At any time the Company Release Conditions are satisfied, then the Company and the Intermediate Holding Companies shall be entitled to be released from their respective obligations under this Guaranty; provided, that the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in writing), a written notice of the Company’s election, on behalf of itself and the Intermediate Holding Companies, to be released from their respective obligations under this Guaranty (a “Company Release Notice”), together with a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that as of the proposed effective date of such release (as set forth in the Guarantor Release Notice) and immediately before and after giving effect thereto, each of the Company Release Conditions are satisfied. The Administrative Agent will (at the sole cost of the Borrowers) following receipt of such Company Release Notice and certificate of a Responsible Officer, and each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to, execute and deliver such documents as the Company may reasonably request to evidence the release of the Company and the Intermediate Holding Companies from their respective obligations under this Guaranty, which documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such release pursuant to this Section 10.12. 1.01 Amendments, Etc. NoSubject to Sections 1.08, 2.02(g), 2.16(e), 3.03 and the last paragraph of this Section 11.01, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Company or any other Loan Article k MISCELLANEOUS 149 Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or, to the extent such amendment or waiver (i) relates solely to a specific Tranche, the Tranche Required Lenders with respect to such Tranche, (ii) changes Section 1.08, the Tranche Required Lenders with respect to the Alternative Currency Tranche, (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.08, amends the definition of “Alternative Currency”, each Revolving Credit Lender, or (iv) waives any obligation to pay interest or Letter of Credit Fees at the Default Rate, the Required Revolving Lenders), the Parent Borrower, the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;

(b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Arranger, any Bookrunner, the Swing Line Lender, any L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Arranger, such Bookrunner, the Swing Line Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought according to the proportion of (a) the sum of the (i) Total Outstandings owing to such Lender (with the aggregate amount of such Lender’s risk participation and funded participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans being deemed “held” by such Lender for purposes hereof) other than the Outstanding Amount of Competitive Loans and (ii) the aggregate unused Commitments (determined without giving effect to any Competitive Loans outstanding on such date) of such Lender to (b) the sum of (i) Total Outstandings other than the Outstanding Amount of Competitive Loans and (ii) the aggregate unused Commitments (determined without giving effect to any Competitive Loans outstanding on such date)) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Arranger, any Bookrunner, the Swing Line Lender or any L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swing Line Lender or such L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.

No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 156 (d) demand therefor. Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after (e) Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(c) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 1.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount received by such Lender or such L/C Issuer and so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 1.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(f), (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (a) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.06(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that (in each case with respect to any Facility) 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 under any Facility and/or the Loans at the time 157 owing to it under any Facility or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate 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 (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the applicable Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of any Facility, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (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 Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to rights in respect of Bid Loans or the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (B) 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 subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: (A) the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) if such assignment is with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, such assignment is to a Revolving Credit Lender or (3) if such assignment is with respect to the Term Facility or the Delayed Draw Term Facility, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if (1) such assignment is with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and is to a Person that is not a Revolving Credit Lender or (2) such assignment is with respect to the Term Facility or the Delayed Draw Term Facility and is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 158 (C) the consent of each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Revolving Credit Lender. (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, and such fee shall be waived in the event of an assignment by a Lender to its Affiliate. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. (v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) a natural person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person). (vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by such Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to (i) the assignee Lender and/or (ii) in 159 the case of a partial assignment by a Lender of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, the assigning Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 11.06(d). (b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall 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 any Loan Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (c) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Parent Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b)); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06(a) and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.06(b). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Parent Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Parent Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. 160 Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent 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 or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (d) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Parent Borrower is notified of the Participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Parent Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender. (e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto. (f) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time a Lender that is an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 11.06(b), such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender may (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower, resign as the Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Lender as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If a Lender that is an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If a Lender that is the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans 161 pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit. 1.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, its auditors and its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (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, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Loan Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Parent Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the 162 use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 1.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (and subject to Section 2.14), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Parent Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, L/C Issuer or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Parent Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 1.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Parent Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 1.10 CounterpartsIntegration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, constitute a singlethe entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature 163 page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”), and thereafter shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreementbinding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 1.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. 1.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 1.13 Replacement of Lenders. If the Parent Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Parent Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.06(b); (a) the Parent Borrower shall have paid (or caused a Designated Borrower to pay) to the Administrative Agent (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to (i) from the assignee, the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances and all accrued interest and fees payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) from the Parent Borrower or applicable Designated Borrower, all other amounts payable by the Parent Borrower or applicable Designated Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including pursuant to Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05) (it being understood that the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment shall provide that any interest and fees that accrued prior to the effective date of the assignment shall be for the account of the replaced Lender and such amounts that accrue on and after the effective date of the assignment shall be for the account of the replacement Lender); 164 in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (c) (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. (e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Parent Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender agrees that, if the Parent Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 11.13, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if a Note has been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, in no event shall the Parent Borrower or any other Borrower have the right to replace a Lender as a result of such Lender (a) not consenting to the designation of an Applicant Borrower organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Netherlands or Germany as a Designated Borrower or (b) declining to provide a commitment in a Supplemental Currency. 1.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Loan Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or 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 Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it. This Agreement, any Loan Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer nor the Swing Line Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such 167 Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or any Lender Party without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic Signature and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. Neither the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer nor the Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, any L/C Issuer’s or the Swing Line Lender’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each Related Party for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender Party’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature. 1.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 1.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such 168 Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 1.20 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. 1.21 Original Notes. On the Closing Date, the Original Notes, if any, held by each Lender shall be deemed to be cancelled and, if such Lender has requested a Revolving Credit Note or a Term Note hereunder, amended and restated by the Revolving Credit Note or Term Note, as applicable, delivered hereunder on or about the Closing Date (regardless of whether any Lender shall have delivered to the Company for cancellation the Original Note held by it). Each Lender, whether or not requesting a Revolving Credit Note or Term Note hereunder, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Original Notes held by it to the Company for cancellation and/or amendment and restatement. All amounts owing under, and evidenced by, the Original Notes as of the Closing Date shall continue to be outstanding hereunder, and shall from and after the Closing Date, if requested by the Lender holding such Original Note(s), be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes and Term Notes, as applicable, and shall in any event be evidenced by, and governed by the terms of, this Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Loan Parties from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, actions or claims that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Loan Party arising out of such Lender’s failure to deliver the Original Notes held by it to the Company for cancellation, subject to the condition that the Company shall not make any payment to any Person claiming to be the holder of such Original Notes unless such Lender is first notified of such claim and is given the opportunity, at such Lender’s sole cost and expense, to assert any defenses to such payment. 1.22 Amendment and Restatement. As of the Closing Date, the Commitments of certain “Lenders” under (and as defined in) the Original Credit Agreement shall be terminated by the Company (such Lenders, the “Departing Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo Bank shall each resign as a Swing Line Lender. The remaining “Lenders” under (and as defined in) the Original Credit Agreement shall be Lenders under this Agreement with Commitments as set forth on Schedule 2.01 hereto, and Bank of America shall be the only Lender acting as the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Lender that was a “Lender” under (and as defined in) the Original Credit Agreement hereby consents to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and to the non-pro rata reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments (under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) occurring on the Closing Date as a result of the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Departing Lenders, and the concurrent repayment in full of all loans and other obligations owing (whether or not due) to the Departing Lenders. On the Closing Date, effective immediately following such termination and repayment and the repayment in full of the Existing Term Loans and any Existing Swing Line Loans, the Original Credit Agreement shall 169 be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the rights, obligations and liabilities of the respective parties (including the Obligations) existing under the Original Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Closing Date (except with respect to the Existing Term Loans and the Departing Lenders, except that the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement that by their express terms survive the termination of the Original Credit Agreement shall continue for the Departing Lenders) and (b) such obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (i) all Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement shall on the Closing Date become Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Loans, as the case may be, hereunder, (ii) all Existing Letters of Credit shall on the Closing Date become Letters of Credit hereunder and (iii) all other Obligations outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement shall on the Closing Date be Obligations under this Agreement. To the extent the Original Credit Agreement provides that certain terms survive the termination of the Original Credit Agreement or survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable thereunder, then such terms shall survive the amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement. 1.23 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender or any L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and 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 Lender or any L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, 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: 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 Lender or any L/C Issuer that is an Affected Financial Institution; and (a) (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 undertaking, 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 the applicable Resolution Authority. 1.24 Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract 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”) 170 in 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 11.24, 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 Right” 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). 1.25 UPREIT Reorganization. If the Company elects to reorganize its corporate organizational structure to implement an “umbrella partnership” real estate investment trust structure by forming (or converting) a limited partnership, limited liability company or other registered business organization (other than a general partnership) under the laws of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (the “OpCo”) of which the Company (or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company) is to be the sole general partner, manager, or managing member, as applicable (the “Reorganization”), then, on the Assumption Date, the OpCo may assume all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations as a Borrower under, and the Company may transfer and assign to the OpCo all of the Company’s rights and benefits as a Borrower under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Company shall be released solely from its liabilities and obligations as a Borrower (but not as a Guarantor) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Assumption Transaction”). 171 The effectiveness of the Assumption Transaction is subject to satisfaction (or valid waiver) of the following conditions (the “Assumption Conditions”): (a) The Company shall have given the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior written notice of the Company’s intent to exercise its rights under this Section 11.25 at least 30 days (or such shorter period as may be agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, but in no event less than 15 Business Days) prior to the proposed effective date of the Assumption Transaction as set forth in such notice. (b) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of the following, each of which shall be originals, e-mails (in a .pdf format) or telecopies (followed promptly by originals) unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer or a duly authorized officer of the OpCo, the Company and each other signing Loan Party, each dated the Assumption Date (or, in the case of certificates of governmental officials, a recent date before the Assumption Date) and each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) an assignment and assumption agreement executed by the Company and the OpCo, acknowledged by the other Loan Parties (if any), providing for the OpCo’s assumption of all of the Company’s liabilities and obligations as a Borrower under, and the Company’s transfer and assignment to the OpCo of all of the Company’s rights and benefits as a Borrower under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “OpCo Assumption Agreement”); (ii) unless the Company Release Conditions have been satisfied on the Assumption Date, a joinder agreement executed by the Company, each Intermediate Holding Company that is not at such time a Guarantor and the OpCo pursuant to which the Company and each such Intermediate Holding Company shall become party hereto as a Guarantor; (iii) amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed by the Company, the OpCo and the other Loan Parties, as appropriate, requested or approved by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 11.01; (iv) a Revolving Credit Note, Term Note and/or Delayed Draw Term Note, as applicable, in each case, duly executed by the OpCo, payable to each applicable Lender that has requested that it receive such Notes, and complying with the terms of Section 2.12 (it being understood that, upon delivery of the originals of such Note(s) to a requesting Lender on or about the Assumption Date, the previously issued notes, if any, held by such Lender shall be deemed to be amended and restated by such Note(s) regardless of whether such Lender shall have delivered to the Company for cancellation the previously issued note(s) held by it and all amounts owing by the Company under, and evidenced by, the previously issued note(s) as of the Assumption Date shall be evidenced by such applicable Note(s)); (v) a favorable opinion of counsel to the OpCo and the other Loan Parties, addressed to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as to such matters concerning the OpCo and the other Loan Parties and the Loan Documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; (vi) the items referenced in Section 4.01(a)(iii), (iv) and (vi) with respect to the Company, the OpCo and all Intermediate Holding Companies that become Guarantors pursuant to clause (ii) above (if any); 172 (vii) an updated Schedule 5.12 that includes the OpCo, the OpCo GP and all Intermediate Holding Companies that become Guarantors pursuant to clause (ii) above (if any); (viii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist as of the date of the Reorganization or on the Assumption Date, or will exist immediately after giving effect to the Reorganization or the Assumption Transaction; (ix) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Company, the OpCo or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document (as amended to incorporate any revisions associated with the Reorganization) to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Assumption Date (as if any reference in any Loan Documents with respect to such representations and warranties to “the date of this Agreement”, “as of the Closing Date”, “on the date hereof”, “on the Closing Date” or similar words which refer to the Closing Date of the Agreement are deemed to be references to the Assumption Date); (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received an officer’s certificate from a Responsible Officer of the OpCo certifying the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (viii) and (ix); and (xi) such other documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably request. (c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have received, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Assumption Date, all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, in each case as requested at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Assumption Date.
