Credit Facility
 
On February 20, 2015, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as parent guarantor, entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility that includes a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility. The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $350.0 million, subject to certain conditions. On January 5, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company increased the total borrowing capacity to $225.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively. The credit facility replaced the prior $155.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on May 13, 2016.

Depending on the Operating Partnership’s total leverage, the revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.40% to 2.00% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%. As of December 31, 2016, the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 2.32% and 2.27%, respectively. If the Company attains investment grade credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s, the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.

The Operating Partnership is also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the new credit facility.
 
The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2019, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions, and the term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2020. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without a material premium or penalty.
 
The amount permitted to be borrowed under the new credit facility, together with all of the Operating Partnership’s other unsecured indebtedness is generally limited to the lesser of: (i) 60% of the value of the unencumbered borrowing base properties, (ii) the maximum amount of principal that would result in a debt service coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.0, and (iii) the maximum aggregate loan commitment, which was $250.0 million as of December 31, 2016.  

The credit facility requires the Operating Partnership to comply with various financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
 
Total leverage ratio of the Company of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement), but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
Ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of the Company of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $220.0 million and 75% of the net equity proceeds received after December 31, 2014;  
Ratio of variable rate indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 30%;  
Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 45%; and
Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 25%.  
 
The credit facility limits the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows the Company to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for the Company (a) to maintain its status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax. If certain defaults or events of default exist, the Company may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain its status as a REIT. The credit facility also restricts the amount of capital that the Operating Partnership can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates.

On February 1, 2017, the Company increased the borrowings under the senior unsecured term loan facility to $125.0 million and increased the total capacity of the senior unsecured credit facility to $275.0 million, pursuant to the accordion feature of the credit facility.
