Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On September 23, 2014, the Company amended and restated its $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the unsecured revolving credit facility from $250.0 million to $300.0 million, extend the term of that facility to September 23, 2018, and add a five-year, $150.0 million unsecured term loan facility with a group of lenders for which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acts as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith Incorporated act as joint lead arrangers, and Bank of America, N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC, act as joint syndication agents, and Keybank, N.A., acts as documentation agent.

The $150.0 million unsecured term loan facility was fully drawn by the Company on the closing date to repay a $95.0 million loan secured by the Company’s 505 First Street and 83 King properties, with the remaining $55.0 million used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s prior unsecured revolving facility.

The Operating Partnership continues to be the borrower under the new facility, and the Company and all subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will continue to provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties are not required except under limited circumstances.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the Company may increase the availability of either or both of the unsecured revolving credit facility or term loan facility so long as the aggregate commitments under both facilities do not exceed $700.0 million.

Under the unsecured revolving credit facility, the Company may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 115 to 155 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 15 to 55 basis points per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. Under the term loan facility, the Company may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 130 to 190 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 30 to 90 basis points per annum, again depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. If the Company obtains a credit rating for its senior unsecured long term indebtedness, it may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate for the unsecured revolving credit facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 87.5 to 165 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus 0 to 65 basis points per annum, and for the term loan facility equal to either LIBOR plus 90 to 190 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus 0 to 90 basis points per annum, in each case depending on the credit rating.

The unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to a facility fee in an amount equal to the Company’s revolving credit commitments (whether or not utilized) multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 20 to 35 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, or, if the Company makes the credit rating election, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of its revolving credit commitments multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 12.5 to 30 basis points, depending upon the credit rating. Unused amounts of the facility are no longer subject to a separate fee.

The Company’s ability to borrow under the facility remains subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary restrictive covenants. In addition to these covenants, the facility also includes certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of the Company’s primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its unsecured revolving credit facility’s financial covenants. As of December 31, 2014, we had total borrowing capacity of approximately $300.0 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $130.0 million of which had been drawn.

Repayment Guaranties

Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson Loan    

In connection with the $97.0 million loan secured by our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson properties, we have guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender 19.5% of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of our Operating Partnership, does not do so.
