​ For purposes of classification of the above table, variable rate debt with a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is deemed as fixed rate debt due to the Company having effectively established a fixed interest rate for the underlying debt instrument. Our secured debt instruments generally feature either monthly interest and principal or monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. As of December 31, 2019, secured debt encumbered $2.1 billion or 16.8% of UDR’s total real estate owned based upon gross book value ($10.5 billion or 83.2% of UDR’s real estate owned based on gross book value is unencumbered). (a) At December 31, 2019, fixed rate mortgage notes payable are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest and mature at various dates from August 2020 through February 2030 and carry interest rates ranging from 2.70% to 4.35%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company refinanced a $90.0 million credit facility with Fannie Mae to a fixed rate mortgage due in October 2029 and took out a new mortgage of $72.5 million due in February 2030. Interest payments are due monthly at interest rates of 2.70% and 3.10%, respectively. The refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification. The Company will from time to time acquire properties subject to fixed rate debt instruments. In those situations, the Company records the debt at its estimated fair value and amortizes any difference between the fair value and par value to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument. In November 2019, the Company assumed secured fixed rate mortgage notes payable with an outstanding balance of $313.4 million and a fair value of $332.5 million in connection with the acquisition of approximately 50% ownership interest not previously owned in six operating communities from the UDR/MetLife joint venture. The six mortgages had outstanding balances ranging from $32.6 million to $94.1 million and carry interest rates from 3.25% to 4.12% (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned). (b) During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company prepaid the $90.0 million outstanding balance under its secured credit facility with Fannie Mae from proceeds received from the refinancing of the debt. In November 2019, the Company assumed a secured credit facility with New York Life with an outstanding balance of $205.0 million and a fair value of $219.3 million in connection with the acquisition of the approximately 50% ownership not previously owned in four operating communities from the UDR/MetLife joint venture. The credit facility is a pooled facility and secured by those four properties. The credit facility is due in January 2023 and has an interest rate of 4.90% (see Note 3, Real Estate Owned). Further information related to the credit facility is as follows (dollars in thousands):

​ During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company had $3.0 million, $3.0 million, and $3.0 million, respectively, of amortization of the fair market adjustment of debt assumed in the acquisition of properties inclusive of its fixed rate mortgage notes payable and credit facilities, which was included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unamortized fair market adjustment was a net premium of $35.3 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. ​ (c) The variable rate mortgage note payable secures a tax-exempt housing bond issue that matures in March 2032. Interest on this note is payable in monthly installments. As of December 31, 2019, the variable interest rate on the mortgage note was 1.79%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid off a $67.7 million variable rate mortgage note due on August 1, 2019. (d) The Company has a $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $350.0 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”). The credit agreement for these facilities (the “Credit Agreement”) allows the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total borrowings under the Term Loan to be increased to an aggregate maximum amount of up to $2.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 31, 2023, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of September 30, 2023. Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 82.5 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points, and the Term Loan has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 90 basis points. Depending on the Company’s credit rating, the margin under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 75 to 145 basis points, the facility fee ranges from 10 to 30 basis points, and the margin under the Term Loan ranges from 80 to 165 basis points. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.
