Mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest or interest only, and mature over various terms through 2028, whereas, interest on unsecured public debt is payable semi-annually and the debt matures over various terms through 2021. Fixed interest rates on mortgage loans range from 5.22% to 8.40% with a weighted average rate of 6.43%. Fixed interest rates on unsecured public debt range from 4.80% to 6.75% with a weighted average rate of 5.59%.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

The Company has a $600.0 million unsecured line of credit (the “Line”) commitment under an agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank and a syndicate of other banks, which was amended on September 7, 2011 primarily to extend the maturity date to September 2015, and includes one, one year extension option. The Line has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and an annual facility fee of 25 basis points subject to Regency maintaining its corporate credit and senior unsecured ratings at BBB. In addition, the Company has the ability to increase the Line through an accordion feature to $1.0 billion. Borrowing capacity is reduced by the balance of outstanding borrowings and commitments under outstanding letters of credit. The balance on the Line was $40.0 million and $10.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The proceeds from the Line are used to finance the acquisition and development of real estate and for general working-capital purposes.
