Mortgage Debt

We have incurred limited recourse, property specific mortgage debt secured by certain of our hotels. In the event of default, the lender may only foreclose on the secured assets; however, in the event of fraud, misapplication of funds or other customary recourse provisions, the lender may seek payment from us. As of September 30, 2024, three of our 36 hotels were secured by mortgage debt. On August 6, 2024, we paid off $73.3 million outstanding on the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East mortgage loan using cash on hand. We intend to refinance the other mortgage loans that mature in 2025 as they approach their respective maturity dates. In the case that refinancing options are not attractive, we may repay such mortgage loans using our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Our mortgage debt contains certain property specific covenants and restrictions, including minimum debt service coverage
ratios or debt yields that trigger “cash trap” provisions, as well as restrictions on incurring additional debt without lender consent. Such cash trap provisions are triggered when the hotel’s operating results fall below a certain debt service coverage ratio or debt yield. When these provisions are triggered, all of the excess cash flow generated by the hotel is deposited directly into cash management accounts for the benefit of our lenders until a specified debt service coverage ratio or debt yield is reached and maintained for a certain period of time. Such provisions do not provide the lender the right to accelerate repayment
of the underlying debt. We had no cash traps in effect as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans

We are party to a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides us with a $400 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and two term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of $800 million. The revolving credit facility matures on September 27, 2026, which we may extend for an additional year upon the payment of applicable fees and satisfaction of certain standard conditions. The term loan facilities consist of a $500 million term loan that matures on January 3, 2028 and a $300 million term loan that matures January 3, 2026. In September 2024, we exercised our option to extend the maturity of the $300 million term loan from January 3, 2025 to January 3, 2026. We have the right to increase the aggregate amount of the facilities to $1.4 billion upon the satisfaction of certain standard conditions.

Interest is paid on the periodic advances on the revolving credit facility and amounts outstanding on the term loans at varying rates, based upon the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based upon our leverage ratio, as follows:
