5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and 7-year Term Loan due April 2022

On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into a derivative contract with respect to $300.0 million of the 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.36% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore the interest rate is effectively fixed at 2.66% to 3.56%. The unhedged portion bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.30% to 2.20%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. On July 20, 2016, the Company redesignated this interest rate swap to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR effective July 1, 2016. Therefore, the effective interest rate with respect to $300.0 million of the term loan increased to a range of 2.75% to 3.65% per annum based on the Company's operating partnership's leverage ratio.

On April 1, 2015, the Company also entered into a derivative contract with respect to the $350.0 million 7-year Term Loan due April 2022, which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.61% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore the interest rate is effectively fixed at 3.21% to 4.16%. On July 20, 2016, the Company redesignated this interest rate swap to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR effective July 1, 2016. Therefore, the effective interest rate with respect to $350.0 million 7-year Term Loan due April 2022 increased to a range of 3.36% to 4.31% per annum based on the Company's operating partnership's leverage ratio.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $0.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, related to the ineffective portion of these derivative contracts. There was no unrealized loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company redesignated the derivative contracts to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR effective July 1, 2016 as described above, therefore, eliminating the ineffectiveness in these derivatives. See Note 20—Subsequent Events for details.

7-Year Term Loan due November 2022

On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a derivative contract with respect to $125.0 million of the 7-Year Term Loan due November 2022. This derivative became effective on June 1, 2016 and swapped one-month LIBOR, which includes a 0.00% floor, to a fixed rate of 1.43% through the loan’s maturity.

Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson Mortgage

On February 11, 2011, the Company closed a five-year term loan totaling $92.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by the Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson properties. The loan initially bore interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. On March 16, 2011, the Company purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 3.715% on $50.0 million of the loan through February 11, 2016. On January 11, 2012, the Company purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 2.00% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan.

Effective August 22, 2013, the terms of this loan were amended to, among other changes, increase the outstanding balance from $92.0 million to $97.0 million, reduce the interest to a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%, and extend the maturity date from February 11, 2016 to February 11, 2018. The derivatives described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively fixed at 5.97% on $50.0 million of the loan and 4.25% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan.

Effective March 4, 2015, the terms of this loan were amended and restated to introduce the ability to draw up to an additional $160.0 million for budgeted construction costs associated with the ICON development and to extend the maturity date from February 11, 2018 to March 4, 2019. The derivatives described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment. These derivatives matured on February 11, 2016.

Met Park North

On July 31, 2013, the Company closed a seven-year loan totaling $64.5 million with Union Bank, N.A., secured by the Met Park North property. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.55%. The full loan is subject to an interest rate contract that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.16% through the loan’s maturity on August 1, 2020.
