Bank note payable | 3. Bank note payable 2013 Term Loan On August 26, 2013, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions referenced in the 2013 Credit Agreement and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, to provide for a single unsecured term loan borrowing on the closing date in the amount of $220,000,000 (the “2013 Term Loan”). On August 26, 2013, the Company drew down $220,000,000 under the 2013 Term Loan. The 2013 Term Loan has a seven year term that matures on August 26, 2020. The 2013 Term Loan includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $50,000,000 of additional loans subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2013 Term Loan bears interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 145 to 220 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio for the applicable period (LIBOR plus 165 basis points, or 1.80% at June 30, 2014) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 45 to 120 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio for the applicable period (the bank’s base rate plus 65 basis points, or 3.90% at June 30, 2014). The actual LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio for the applicable period as described in the table below:
Leverage Ratio |  |  |  | Base |
Greater |  |  |  | Less Than |  | LIBOR |  | Rate |
Than |  |  |  | or Equal to |  | Margin |  | Margin |
— |  |  |  | 25% |  | 145.0 | bps | 45.0 | bps
25% |  | and |  | 35% |  | 155.0 | bps | 55.0 | bps
35% |  | and |  | 45% |  | 165.0 | bps | 65.0 | bps
45% |  | and |  | 55% |  | 190.0 | bps | 90.0 | bps
55% |  | and |  |  |  | 220.0 | bps | 120.0 | bps
Although the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan is variable, the Company fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. On August 26, 2013, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of Montreal that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan at 2.32% per annum for seven years. Accordingly, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2014, the interest rate on the 2013 Term Loan was 3.97% per annum. The 2013 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, changes in business, certain restricted payments, the requirement to join certain subsidiaries as co-borrowers under the 2013 Credit Agreement and transactions with affiliates. The 2013 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, a minimum unencumbered debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets and a maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by the Company, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2013 Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the 2013 Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the 2013 Term Loan financial covenants as of June 30, 2014. The Company may use the proceeds of the 2013 Term Loan to finance the acquisition of real properties and for other permitted investments, to finance investments associated with Sponsored REITs, to refinance or retire existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general business purposes, in each case to the extent permitted under the 2013 Credit Agreement. 2012 Credit Facility As of June 30, 2014, the Company had bank notes payable to a group of banks for an unsecured credit facility comprised of both a revolving line of credit and a term loan (the “2012 Credit Facility”). The revolving line of credit portion of the 2012 Credit Facility is for borrowings, at the Company’s election, of up to $500,000,000 (the “2012 Revolver”). The term loan portion of the 2012 Credit Facility is for $400,000,000 (the “2012 Term Loan”). The 2012 Revolver includes an accordion feature that allows for up to $250,000,000 of additional borrowing capacity subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. On September 27, 2012, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with the lending institutions referenced in the 2012 Credit Agreement and those lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swing line lender, for the 2012 Credit Facility. On September 27, 2012, the Company drew down the entire $400,000,000 under the 2012 Term Loan. The 2012 Term Loan has a five year term that matures on September 27, 2017. Borrowings made pursuant to the 2012 Revolver may be revolving loans, swing line loans or letters of credit, the combined sum of which may not exceed $500,000,000 outstanding at any time. Borrowings made pursuant to the 2012 Revolver may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time for four years until September 27, 2016, the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver. The Company has the right to extend the initial maturity date of the 2012 Revolver by an additional 12 months, or until September 27, 2017, upon payment of a fee and satisfaction of certain customary conditions. The 2012 Credit Facility bears interest at either (i) a rate equal to LIBOR plus 135 to 190 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (LIBOR plus 145 basis points, or 1.60% at June 30, 2014) or (ii) a rate equal to the bank’s base rate plus 35 to 90 basis points depending on our total leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing (the bank’s base rate plus 45 basis points, or 3.70% at June 30, 2014). The 2012 Credit Facility also obligates the Company to pay an annual facility fee of 20 to 40 basis points depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio (30 basis points at June 30, 2014). The facility fee is assessed against the total amount of the 2012 Credit Facility, or $900,000,000. The actual amount of any applicable facility fee, LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio as described in the table below:
Leverage Ratio |  |  |  |  |  | Base |
Greater |  |  |  | Less Than |  | Facility |  | LIBOR |  | Rate |
Than |  |  |  | or Equal to |  | Fee |  | Margin |  | Margin |
— |  |  |  | 25% |  | 20.0 | bps | 135.0 | bps | 35.0 | bps
25% |  | and |  | 35% |  | 25.0 | bps | 140.0 | bps | 40.0 | bps
35% |  | and |  | 45% |  | 30.0 | bps | 145.0 | bps | 45.0 | bps
45% |  | and |  | 55% |  | 35.0 | bps | 165.0 | bps | 65.0 | bps
55% |  | and |  |  |  | 40.0 | bps | 190.0 | bps | 90.0 | bps
For purposes of the 2012 Credit Facility, base rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of: (i) the bank’s prime rate for such day, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 1/2 of 1.00%, and (iii) the one month LIBOR base rate for such day plus 1.00%. Although the interest rate on the 2012 Credit Facility is variable, under the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Company fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan by entering into an interest rate swap agreement. On September 27, 2012, the Company entered into an ISDA Master Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan at 0.75% per annum for five years. Accordingly, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2014, the interest rate on the 2012 Term Loan was 2.20% per annum. In addition, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as of June 30, 2014, there were borrowings of $296,500,000 outstanding under the 2012 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 1.60% per annum. The weighted average interest rate on all amounts outstanding on the 2012 Revolver during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately 1.67% per annum. The weighted average interest rate on all amounts outstanding on the 2012 Revolver during the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately 1.65% per annum. As of December 31, 2013, there were borrowings of $306,500,000 outstanding under the 2012 Revolver at a weighted average rate of 1.82% per annum. The 2012 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, changes in business, certain restricted payments, the requirement to join certain subsidiaries as co-borrowers under the 2012 Credit Agreement and transactions with affiliates. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, a minimum unencumbered debt service coverage ratio, a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets and a maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control of the Company (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by the Company, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the 2012 Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the 2012 Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the 2012 Credit Facility financial covenants as of June 30, 2014. The Company may use the proceeds of the loans under the 2012 Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition of real properties and for other permitted investments; to finance investments associated with Sponsored REITs, to refinance or retire existing indebtedness and for working capital and other general business purposes, in each case to the extent permitted under the 2012 Credit Agreement.
