Unsecured Credit Agreement
On March 29, 2012, HTA and HTALP entered into an unsecured credit agreement to obtain a $575.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $300.0 million unsecured term loan.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On March 7, 2013, we executed an amendment to the unsecured credit agreement pursuant to an existing provision therein to increase the principal amount of the unsecured revolving credit facility. This amendment added an additional lender and increased the unsecured revolving credit facility by $75.0 million to $650.0 million. The other existing terms of the unsecured credit agreement were unchanged except for those relating to the unsecured term loan as discussed below. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures on March 29, 2016 and includes a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
The actual amount of credit available is a function of certain loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios. The maximum principal amount may be increased, subject to such additional financing being provided by our existing lenders or new lenders added to the unsecured revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the $650.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility accrue interest equal to adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.75% per annum based on our credit rating. We also pay a facility fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% per annum on the aggregate commitments under the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2013, the margin associated with our borrowings was 1.30% per annum and the facility fee was 0.25% per annum.
Unsecured Term Loan
Borrowings under the $300.0 million unsecured term loan accrue interest equal to adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.25% per annum based on our credit rating. The margin associated with our borrowings as of December 31, 2013 was 1.55% per annum. We have interest rate swaps in place that fix the interest rate at 2.60% per annum, based on our current credit rating. The unsecured term loan matures on March 29, 2016 and includes a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
On January 7, 2014, we executed an amendment to the unsecured credit agreement that decreased the interest rate on the unsecured term loan to adjusted LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.05% to 1.95% per annum based on our current credit rating. The margin associated with our borrowing as of the amendment date was 1.20%. In addition, the maturity date was extended to January 31, 2018. The other existing terms of the unsecured credit agreement were unchanged.
$155.0 million Unsecured Term Loan
On July 20, 2012, HTALP entered into a $155.0 million unsecured term loan that is guaranteed by HTA. The loan matures on July 19, 2019 and the interest rate thereon is equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.55% to 2.40% per annum based on our credit rating. The margin associated with the borrowings as of December 31, 2013 was 1.70% per annum. We have interest rate swaps in place that fix the interest rate at 2.99% per annum, based on our current credit rating. The maximum principal amount may be increased by us, subject to such additional financing being provided by our existing lender.
$300.0 million Unsecured Senior Notes
On March 28, 2013, HTALP issued $300.0 million of unsecured senior notes guaranteed by HTA that mature on April 15, 2023. The unsecured senior notes bear interest at 3.70% per annum payable semi-annually and were offered at 99.186% of the principal amount thereof, with an effective yield to maturity of 3.80% per annum. HTALP completed the exchange offer of the unsecured senior notes which are now registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on November 21, 2013.
Fixed and Variable Rate Mortgages
As of December 31, 2013, HTALP and its subsidiaries had fixed and variable rate mortgages with interest rates ranging from 1.62% to 12.75% per annum and a weighted average interest rate of 5.56% per annum. Including the impact of the interest rate swap associated with our variable rate mortgage, the weighted average interest rate was 5.80% per annum. During the year, we assumed three fixed rate and one variable rate mortgage loans; see Note 3.
Secured Real Estate Term Loan
On March 28, 2013, we repaid in full the $125.5 million secured real estate term loan. In connection with that repayment, we terminated the secured real estate term loan (and the commitments thereunder) and the related security documents and guarantees. In addition, we terminated the $75.0 million interest rate swap associated with the secured real estate term loan.

The above scheduled debt maturities do not include the available extension under the unsecured credit agreement as discussed above.
We are required by the terms of our applicable debt agreements to meet various affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, such as limitations on the incurrence of debt by us, and our subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets, limitations on the nature of HTALP’s business, and limitations on distributions by HTALP and its subsidiaries that own unencumbered assets. Our debt agreements also impose various financial covenants on us, such as a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a minimum tangible net worth covenant, a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value, rent coverage ratios, and a minimum ratio of unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense. As of December 31, 2013, we believe that we were in compliance with all such financial covenants and reporting requirements. In addition, certain of our debt agreements include events of default provisions that we believe are customary for these types of facilities, including restricting HTA from making dividend distributions to our stockholders in the event we are in default, except to the extent necessary for HTA to maintain its REIT status.
