In November 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement with 12 banks for a five-year $400 committed unsecured revolving line of credit (“2013 Credit Facility”), which has an expiration date of November 15, 2018 and replaced a similarly termed credit facility. The 2013 Credit Facility is intended to provide short-term liquidity to the Partnership should the need arise. The 2013 Credit Facility has a tiered interest rate margin based on the Partnership’s leverage ratio (ratio of total debt to total capitalization). Borrowings made with a three-day advance notice will have a rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%. Same day borrowings, which are subject to certain borrowing notification cutoff times, will have a rate consisting of a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% plus the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 1.00%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. In accordance with the terms of the 2013 Credit Facility, the Partnership is required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 35% and minimum partnership capital, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals, of at least $1,382 plus 50% of subsequent issuances of partnership capital. As of March 28, 2014, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2013 Credit Facility. As of the date of this filing, the Partnership has not borrowed against the 2013 Credit Facility.

The Partnership’s uncommitted lines of credit are subject to change at the discretion of the banks and, therefore, due to credit market conditions and the uncommitted nature of these credit facilities, it is possible these lines of credit could decrease or not be available in the future. Actual borrowing availability on the uncommitted lines of credit is based on client margin securities and Partnership securities, which would serve as collateral in the event the Partnership borrowed against these lines.

There were no amounts outstanding on these lines of credit as of March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In addition, the Partnership did not have any draws against these lines of credit during the three and twelve month periods ended March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
