Mortgage
 
We have a $295 million mortgage loan with the German American Capital Corporation. The mortgage has a term of ten years and is secured by 52 distribution facilities and 1 office building owned by the special purpose entities. The stated interest rate on the mortgage is fixed at 6.35%. German American Capital Corporation assigned half of its interest in the mortgage loan to Wachovia Bank, National Association and both lenders securitized their Notes in separate commercial mortgage backed securities pools in 2006.
 
Under the terms of our mortgage, we are required to transfer certain funds to be held as collateral. We expect to transfer $11.5 million as collateral during the next twelve month period.
 
On September 19, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our mortgage agreement, which provides for the immediate prepayment of approximately $11.8 million of the indebtedness under the mortgage agreement without incurring a prepayment premium from cash currently held as collateral under the mortgage agreement.  In addition, on the last business day of each calendar quarter, starting with the fourth quarter of 2012, additional funds held as collateral under the mortgage agreement will be used to prepay indebtedness under the mortgage agreement, without prepayment premium, up to an aggregate additional prepayment of $10.0 million.  Thereafter, any cash remaining in the collateral account under the mortgage agreement, up to an aggregate of $10.0 million, will be released to the Company on the last business day of each calendar quarter through the second quarter of 2014.  All funds released pursuant to these provisions may only be used by the Company to pay for usual and customary operating expenses.  During the periods described above in which cash in the collateral account is used to either prepay indebtedness under the mortgage agreement or released to the Company, the lenders will not release any of the cash collateral to the Company for specified capital expenditures as previously provided under the mortgage agreement.  In conjunction with the modification of our mortgage agreement we incurred approximately $0.3 million in debt fees that were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the mortgage. 
 
 
On July 14, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the mortgage which (i) eliminated the requirement to obtain lender approval for any transfer of equity interests that would reduce Cerberus ABP Investor LLC’s ownership in the Company and certain of our subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to less than 51%, (ii) provided for the immediate prepayment of $38.3 million of the indebtedness under the mortgage without incurring a prepayment premium from funds currently held as collateral under the mortgage and, if certain conditions are met, will allow for an additional prepayment on or after July 30, 2014 from funds held as collateral without incurrence of a prepayment premium, (iii) allow us, at the lenders’ reasonable discretion, to use a portion of the cash held as collateral under the mortgage for specified alterations, repairs, replacements and other improvements to the mortgaged properties, and (iv) in the event certain financial conditions are met and the Company extends the Amended and Restated Master Lease by and among certain of our subsidiaries with respect to properties covered by the mortgage for an additional five years, we may request the lenders to disburse to the Company a portion of the cash held as collateral under the mortgage. In conjunction with the modification of our mortgage agreement we incurred approximately $2.9 million in debt fees that were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining term of the mortgage.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we sold certain parcels of excess land. As a result of the sale of one of these parcels, we increased the amount of restricted cash required to be held in connection with of our mortgage by $0.3 million. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we sold our facility in Newark, California and increased the restricted cash related to our mortgage by $12.8 million.  This restricted cash will be used to pay down the mortgage in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.  During fiscal 2011, we sold certain real properties that ceased operations. As a result of the sale of these properties during fiscal 2011, we increased the restricted cash related to our mortgage by $6.5 million which was used to reduce the mortgage principal in January of fiscal 2012.
 
The mortgage loan required interest-only payments through June 2011, at which time we began making payments on the outstanding principal balance. The balance of the loan outstanding at the end of ten years will then become due and payable. The principal will be paid in the following increments (in thousands):

*During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we will use the $12.8 million of restricted cash related to the proceeds from the sale of the Newark, California facility and $11.8 million of restricted cash, based on the most recent amendment to the mortgage, to pay down the mortgage.  During fiscal 2013, we estimate that approximately $10.0 million of restricted cash that will accumulate during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first three quarters of fiscal 2013 will be paid in increments at each quarter end.
