Unsecured Credit Facility
On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into its fifth amended and restated unsecured credit agreement (Unsecured Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as syndication agent and KeyBank National Association serving as administrative agent to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The Unsecured Credit Facility consists of an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit and a $250,000 unsecured term loan and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the Unsecured Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of June 30, 2018, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,600,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the Unsecured Credit Agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.
The Unsecured Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default. Pursuant to the terms of the Unsecured Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including the requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and consolidated leverage ratios; and (ii) minimum fixed charge and unencumbered interest coverage ratios.
The Company previously had a $1,200,000 unsecured credit facility that consisted of the following: (i) a $750,000 unsecured revolving line of credit that bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.35% to 2.25% and was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2020; (ii) a $250,000 unsecured term loan that bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.30% to 2.20% and was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021; and (iii) a $200,000 unsecured term loan that bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.45% to 2.20% and was scheduled to mature on May 11, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repaid $100,000 of the unsecured term loan due 2018 and in conjunction with the execution of the Unsecured Credit Agreement in 2018, the Company repaid the remaining $100,000 balance of the unsecured term loan due 2018.

The Term Loan Due 2023 is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the term loan agreement (Term Loan Agreement), the Company may elect to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of June 30, 2018, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.
