The JPM Term Loan has a two year term that matures on November 30, 2018. The JPM Term Loan bears interest at either (i) a number of basis points over the Eurodollar Rate depending on the Company’s credit rating (135.0 basis points over the Eurodollar Rate at December 31, 2016) or (ii) a number of basis points over the base rate depending on the Company’s credit rating (35.0 basis points over the base rate at December 31, 2016). The actual margin over the Eurodollar Rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s credit rating pursuant to the following grid:
|  |  |  | EURODOLLAR |  |  |
|  | CREDIT |  | RATE |  | BASE RATE |
LEVEL |  | RATING |  | MARGIN |  | MARGIN |
I |  | BBB | / | Baa2 (or higher) |  |  | 110.0 | bps | 10.0 | bps
II |  | BBB- | / | Baa3 |  |  | 135.0 | bps | 35.0 | bps
III |  | <BBB- | / | Baa3 |  |  | 185.0 | bps | 85.0 | bps
For purposes of the JPM Term Loan, base rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate in effect on such day, (ii) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight bank funding rate in effect on such day, plus ½ of 1.00% (but no less than zero), and (iii) the one month Adjusted LIBOR based rate for a such day plus 1.00%. For purposes of the JPM Term Loan, the Eurodollar Rate means, for any interest period, the LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate, and in any event, the Eurodollar Rate shall not be less than zero. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service was Baa3.

The JPM 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 unsecured interest coverage and a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets. The JPM 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 JPM 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 JPM Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the JPM Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, all outstanding obligations of the Company will become immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the JPM Term Loan financial covenants as of December 31, 2016. The Company used the net proceeds of the JPM Term Loan to acquire the property located at 600 17th Street, Denver, Colorado on December 1, 2016 and for other general business purposes.

The BMO Term Loan bears interest at either (i) a number of basis points over LIBOR depending on the Company’s credit rating (165 basis points over LIBOR at December 31, 2016) or (ii) a number of basis points over the base rate depending on the Company’s credit rating (65 basis points over the base rate at December 31, 2016). The actual margin over LIBOR rate or base rate is determined based on the Company’s credit rating pursuant to the following grid:
|  | Credit |  | LIBOR Rate |  | Base Rate |
Level |  | Rating |  | Margin |  | Margin |
I |  | A- | / | A3 | (or higher) |  | 105.0 | bps | 5.0 | bps

Accordingly, based upon the Company’s credit rating, as of December 31, 2016, the effective interest rate on the BMO Term Loan was 3.97% per annum.

The BMO Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, minimum unsecured interest coverage and a maximum ratio of certain investments to total assets. The BMO 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 BMO Credit Agreement).

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.
