Credit Facility

On June 19, 2014, we closed on a new $900 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is comprised of a $775 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving credit facility”) and a $125 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) .The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to expand the size of the facility by up to $250 million through increases to the Revolving credit facility, Term Loan, both or as a separate term loan tranche. The Credit Facility replaces our existing $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $100 million unsecured term loan. This transaction resulted in a refinancing charge of approximately $0.3 million in the 2014 second quarter.

The Revolving credit facility matures in June 2018 and can be extended for an additional 12 months at our option. The Revolving credit facility’s interest rate is (1) the higher of the “prime rate”, federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, plus a spread initially set at 1.00%, but that is adjustable from 0.70% to 1.25% based on current total leverage, or (2) LIBOR plus a spread initially set at 2.00%, but that is adjustable from 1.70% to 2.25% based on current total leverage. The pricing grid for the Revolving credit facility may be further adjusted subject to an investment grade rating being obtained. In addition to interest expense, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility, ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per year. At June 30, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding on the Revolving credit facility.

The Term Loan matures in June 2019. The Term Loan’s interest rate is (1) the higher of the “prime rate”, federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, plus a spread initially set at 0.95%, but that is adjustable from 0.60% to 1.20% based on current total leverage, or (2) LIBOR plus a spread initially set at 1.95%, but that is adjustable from 1.60% to 2.20% based on current total leverage. The pricing grid for the Term Loan may be similarly adjusted subject to an investment grade rating being obtained.

2014 Senior Unsecured Notes

On April 17, 2014, we completed a $300 million senior unsecured notes offering (“2014 Senior Unsecured Notes”). Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2014. The 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes will pay interest in cash at a rate of 5.50% per year. The Notes mature on May 1, 2024. We may redeem some or all of the 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes at any time prior to May 1, 2019 at a “make-whole” redemption price. On or after May 1, 2019, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at a premium that will decrease over time. In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to May 1, 2017, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes using the proceeds of one or more equity offerings. The 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by certain subsidiary guarantors. In the event of a change of control, each holder of the 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes may require us to repurchase some or all of our 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.

Interest Rate Swap

During the second quarter 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap to manage our exposure to variable interest rates by fixing $65 million of our 2006 Senior Unsecured Notes, which started July 31, 2011 (date on which the interest rate turned variable) through maturity date (or July 2016), at a rate of 5.507%. We also entered into an interest rate swap to fix $60 million of our 2006 Senior Unsecured Notes which started October 31, 2011 (date on which the related interest rate turned variable) through the maturity date (or October 2016) at a rate of 5.675%. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was $7.8 million and $9.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which is reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

We designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of our swaps is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss on the balance sheet and reclassified into earnings in the same period, or periods, during which the hedged transactions effect earnings, while any ineffective portion is recorded through earnings immediately. We did not have any hedge ineffectiveness in the periods; therefore, there was no income statement effect recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013. We do not expect any of the current losses included in accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $4.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, posted as collateral, which is currently reflected in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Covenants

Our debt facilities impose certain restrictions on us, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to: incur debt; create or incur liens; provide guarantees in respect of obligations of any other entity; make redemptions and repurchases of our capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase debt; engage in mergers or consolidations; enter into affiliated transactions; dispose of real estate or other assets; and change our business. In addition, the credit agreement governing our Credit Facility limit the amount of dividends we can pay to 95% of normalized adjusted funds from operations, as defined in the agreements, on a rolling four quarter basis. The indentures governing our 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes also limit the amount of dividends we can pay based on the sum of 95% of funds from operations, proceeds of equity issuances and certain other net cash proceeds. Finally, our 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Senior Unsecured Notes require us to maintain total unencumbered assets (as defined in the related indenture) of not less than 150% of our unsecured indebtedness.

In addition to these restrictions, the Credit Facility contains customary financial and operating covenants, including covenants relating to our total leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, secured leverage ratio, unsecured leverage ratio, consolidated adjusted net worth, and unsecured interest coverage ratio. This facility also contains customary events of default, including among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, material inaccuracy of representations and failure to comply with our covenants. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the facility, the entire outstanding balance may become immediately due and payable. At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all such financial and operating covenants
