Mortgages and Notes Payable | Mortgages and Notes Payable The following table sets forth our mortgages and notes payable:
| March 31, 2012 |  | December 31, 2011
Secured indebtedness | $ | 746,784 |  |  | $ | 750,049 |
Unsecured indebtedness | 1,157,194 |  |  | 1,153,164 |
Total mortgages and notes payable | $ | 1,903,978 |  |  | $ | 1,903,213 |
At March 31, 2012, our secured mortgage loans were secured by real estate assets with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1.2 billion. Our $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on July 27, 2015 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $75.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for an additional year. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 150 basis points and the annual facility fee is 35 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. We use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. Continuing ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $141.0 million and $112.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2012 and April 26, 2012, respectively. At both March 31, 2012 and April 26, 2012, we had $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2012 and April 26, 2012 was $333.8 million and $362.8 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2012, we obtained a $225.0 million, seven-year unsecured bank term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 190 basis points. The proceeds were used to pay off amounts then outstanding under our revolving credit facility. We are currently in compliance with the debt covenants and other requirements with respect to our outst
