Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 15, 2007, we entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) that provides for an unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the amount of $150.0 million, with the option to increase the aggregate amount to $200.0 million. We intend to use the proceeds to pay down a portion of the outstanding amount on our $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Term Loan matures on October 18, 2010 and may be extended at our option for two one-year periods but not beyond the maturity date of our revolving credit facility. There is no scheduled principal amortization of the Term Loan and we may prepay borrowings in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
Portions of the Term Loan bear interest at a per annum floating rate equal to: (i) the higher of (x) the prime rate or (y) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum or (ii) a London interbank offered rate that is the rate at which Eurodollar deposits for one, two, three or six months are offered plus between 0.475% and 1.10% per annum (the “Libor Margin”), depending on our debt rating.
The Term Loan Agreement contains financial and operating covenants. Financial covenants include minimum net worth, fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio, restrictions on unsecured and secured debt as a percentage of unencumbered assets, and other financial tests. Operating covenants include limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, enter into affiliate transactions, and pay dividends.
Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania serves as Administrative Agent and Lender and RBS Securities Corporation serves as Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner.
A copy of the Term Loan Agreement is attached as exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report. The description of the Term Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the copy of the Term Loan Agreement attached as an exhibit
