(1) | Includes minimum required amortization payments on the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities and the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility.
October 2012 Secured Credit Facility—On October 15, 2012, the Company entered into a $1.82 billion senior secured credit agreement due October 15, 2017 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). The October 2012 Secured Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 4.50%, with a 1.25% LIBOR floor, and was issued at 99.0% of par. Proceeds from the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility were used to refinance the remaining outstanding balances of the Company’s existing 2011 Secured Credit Facilities. Borrowings under the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets, with required minimum collateral coverage of not less than 125% of outstanding borrowings. If collateral coverage is less than 137.5% of outstanding borrowings, 100% of the proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. For so long as collateral coverage is between 137.5% and 150% of outstanding borrowings, 50% of proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility and for so long as collateral coverage is greater than 150% of outstanding borrowings, the Company may retain all proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral. The Company retains proceeds from interest, rent, lease payments and fee income in all cases. In connection with the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility transaction, the Company incurred $14.8 million in third party fees, of which $8.2 million was recognized in “Other expense” on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as it related to the portion of lenders from the original facility that modified their debt under the new facility. The remaining $6.6 million of fees were recorded in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, as they related to the portion of lenders that were new to the facility. The October 2012 Secured Credit Facility contains certain covenants relating to the collateral, among other matters, but does not contain corporate level financial covenants. For so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, it is permitted to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis. In addition, the Company may distribute to its stockholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed $200 million, that are not collateral securing the borrowings under the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. Except for the distribution of real estate assets described in the preceding sentence, the Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT. Through December 31, 2012, the Company has made cumulative amortization repayments of $65.5 million on the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility, which exceeds all required amortization payments through March 2016. Repayments of the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility prior to scheduled amortization dates have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid. See Note 17—Subsequent Events below for details on the refinancing of the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility in February 2013. March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities—In March 2012, the Company entered into an $880.0 million senior secured credit agreement providing for two tranches of term loans: a $410.0 million 2012 A-1 tranche due March 2016, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 4.00% (the "2012 Tranche A-1 Facility"), and a $470.0 million 2012 A-2 tranche due March 2017, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 5.75% (the "2012 Tranche A-2 Facility," together the "March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities"). The 2012 A-1 and A-2 tranches were issued at 98.0% of par and 98.5% of par, respectively, and both tranches include a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. Proceeds from the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities were used to repurchase and repay at maturity $606.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's convertible notes due October 2012, to fully repay the $244.0 million balance on the Company's unsecured credit facility due June 2012, and to repay, upon maturity, $90.3 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.50% senior unsecured notes. The March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral are applied to amortize the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities. Proceeds received for interest, rent, lease payments and fee income are retained by the Company. The 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility requires amortization payments of $41.0 million to be made every six months beginning December 31, 2012. After the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility is repaid, proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be used to amortize the 2012 Tranche A-2 Facility. The Company may make optional prepayments on each tranche of term loans, subject to prepayment fees. Through December 31, 2012, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of $240.8 million on the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility, which exceeds all required amortization payments through December 31, 2014. Repayments of the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility prior to scheduled amortization dates have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid. 2011 Secured Credit Facilities—In March 2011, the Company entered into a $2.95 billion senior secured credit agreement providing for two tranches of term loans: a $1.50 billion 2011 A-1 tranche due June 2013, which bore interest at a rate of LIBOR + 3.75% (the "2011 Tranche A-1 Facility"), and a $1.45 billion 2011 A-2 tranche due June 2014, which bore interest at a rate of LIBOR + 5.75% (the "2011 Tranche A-2 Facility," together the "2011 Secured Credit Facilities"). The 2011 A-1 and A-2 tranches were issued at 99.0% of par and 98.5% of par, respectively, and both tranches include a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. The 2011 Secured Credit Facilities were collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral were applied to amortize the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities. Proceeds received for interest, rent, lease payments, fee income and, under certain circumstances, additional amounts funded on assets serving as collateral were retained by the Company. The 2011 Tranche A-1 Facility required that aggregate cumulative amortization payments of not less than $200.0 million would be made on or before December 30, 2011, not less than $450.0 million on or before June 30, 2012, not less than $750.0 million on or before December 31, 2012 and not less than $1.50 billion on or before June 28, 2013. The 2011 Tranche A-2 Facility had amortization requirements that would begin amortizing six months after the repayment in full of the 2011 Tranche A-1 Facility, such that not less than $150.0 million of cumulative amortization payments would be made on or before the six month anniversary of repayment of the Tranche A-1 Facility, with additional amortization payments of $150.0 million due on or before each six month anniversary thereafter, with any unpaid principal amounts due at maturity in June 2014. The 2011 Secured Credit Facilities were refinanced by the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. Prior to refinancing, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of $1.07 billion on the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities, which resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $4.5 million and $12.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid. At the time of the refinancing, the Company had $21.2 million of unamortized discounts and financing fees related to the 2011 Secured Credit Facilities. In connection with the refinancing, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $12.1 million, related primarily to the portion of lenders in the original facility that did not participate in the new facility. The remaining $9.0 million of unamortized fees and discounts will continue to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. Secured Term Loans—In October 2012, the Company entered into a $28.0 million secured term loan maturing in November 2019, bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR + 2.00%. Simultaneously with the financing, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to exchange its variable rate on the loan for a fixed interest rate (see Note 10). In September 2012, the Company refinanced two secured term loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $53.3 million, bearing interest at rates of 5.3% and 8.2% and maturing in January 2013 with a new $54.5 million secured term loan. The new loan bears interest at 4.851%, matures in October 2022 and is collateralized by the same net lease asset as the original term loan. In connection with the refinancing, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million in its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2012, in conjunction with the sale of a portfolio of 12 net lease assets, the Company repaid the $50.8 million outstanding balances of its LIBOR + 4.50% secured term loans due in 2014 and terminated the related interest rate swaps associated with the loans (see Note 10). In 2011, the Company entered into a $120.0 million secured term loan financing maturing in July 2021. This financing is collateralized by net lease properties occupied by a single tenant and bears interest at 5.05%. Also, in 2011, the Company refinanced the $47.7 million outstanding principal balance of a maturing secured term loan. In addition, during 2011, the Company entered into an additional $4.6 million secured term loan. The loans bear interest at LIBOR + 4.50%, mature in 2014 and are cross-collateralized by the same net lease assets. Simultaneously with the financings, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to exchange its variable rates on the notes for fixed interest rates. In 2010, the Company repaid other secured term loans, including a $947.9 million non-recourse loan that was collateralized by the portfolio of net lease assets sold during the period, as well as $153.3 million of other term loans with various maturities. In connection with these repayments, the Company expensed unamortized deferred financing costs and incurred other expenses totaling $22.1 million, which reduced net gain on early extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2010. Unsecured Credit Facility—During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repaid the $243.7 million remaining principal balance of its LIBOR + 0.85% unsecured credit facility due June 2012. In connection with the repayments, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million. In 2011, the Company repaid the $329.9 million remaining principal balance of its LIBOR + 0.85% unsecured line of credit. Secured Notes—In January 2011, the Company redeemed the $312.3 million remaining principal balance of its 10% 2014 secured exchange notes and recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $109.0 million primarily related to the recognition of deferred gain premiums that resulted from a previous debt exchange. During 2010, the Company redeemed or repurchased $322.5 million par value of its 2011 and 2014 Notes, generating $71.3 million of gains on early extinguishment of debt. Unsecured Notes—In November 2012, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due February 2018 and issued $200.0 million aggregate principal of 3.00% convertible senior unsecured notes due November 2016. Proceeds from these transactions were used to fully repay $67.1 million of the 6.5% senior unsecured notes due December 2013 and partially repay $404.9 million of the 8.625% senior unsecured notes due June 2013. In connection with these repurchases, the Company paid a $14.9 million prepayment penalty which was reflected in "Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. In May 2012, the Company issued $275.0 million aggregate principal of 9.0% senior unsecured notes due June 2017 that were sold at 98.012% of their principal amount. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company repaid, upon maturity, the $460.7 million outstanding principal balance of its LIBOR + 0.50% senior unsecured convertible notes, the $169.7 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.15% senior unsecured notes and the $90.3 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.50% senior unsecured notes. In addition, the Company repurchased $420.4 million par value of senior unsecured notes with various maturities ranging from March 2012 to October 2012. In connection with these repurchases, the Company recorded aggregate gains on early extinguishment of debt of $3.2 million, for the year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company repaid, upon maturity, the $170.4 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.65% senior unsecured notes, the $96.9 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.125% senior unsecured notes and the $107.8 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.80% senior unsecured senior notes. In addition, the Company repurchased $97.2 million par value of its senior unsecured notes with various maturities ranging from September 2011 to October 2012. In connection with these repurchases, the Company recorded an aggregate gain on early extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company repurchased $592.8 million par value of senior unsecured notes with various maturities ranging from March 2010 to March 2014 generating $59.7 million in net gains on early extinguishment of debt.

Debt Covenants The Company's outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include a covenant to maintain a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness of at least 1.2 x and a restriction on debt incurrence based upon the effect of the debt incurrence on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio. If any of the Company's covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of its debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders. While the Company expects that its ability to incur new indebtedness under the fixed charge coverage ratio will be limited for the foreseeable future, it will continue to be permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes under the indentures. The Company's March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities and October 2012 Secured Credit Facility are collectively defined as the "Secured Credit Facilities." The Company's Secured Credit Facilities contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, dividend payments, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates, matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders and the delivery of information to the lenders. In particular, the Company is required to maintain collateral coverage of 1.25 x outstanding borrowings. In addition, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities permit the Company to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis and the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility permits the Company to distribute to its shareholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed $200 million, so long as such assets are not collateral for the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. The Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT (except that the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility permits us to distribute certain real estate assets as described in the preceding sentence). The Company's Secured Credit Facilities contain cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company's indebtedness to them if the Company fails to pay amounts due in respect of its other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness for any reason. The indentures governing the Company's unsecured public debt securities permit the bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company's indebtedness to them if the Company's other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds is not paid at final maturity or if such indebtedness is accelerated.
