The Operating Partnership has entered into an interest rate swap agreement that is intended to fix the interest rate associated with Term Loan A at approximately 3.08% through its maturity date and extension options, subject to adjustments based on our consolidated leverage ratio.
(2)
The Operating Partnership has an option to extend the term loan up to one time, with such extension for a 12-month period. The foregoing extension option is exercisable by us subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
(3)
The Operating Partnership entered into a one-month forward-starting seven-year swap contract on August 19, 2014, which was settled on September 19, 2014 at a gain of approximately $1.6 million. The forward-starting seven-year swap contract was deemed to be a highly effective cash flow hedge, accordingly, the effective interest rate in accordance with GAAP is approximately 3.88% per annum.

The forward-starting interest swap rate contracts were deemed to be a highly effective cash flow hedge, accordingly, the effective interest rate in accordance with GAAP is approximately 3.87% per annum.

On March 1, 2017, the Operating Partnership entered into a Note Purchase Agreement for the private placement of $250 million of 4.29% Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series D, due March 1, 2027 (the "Series D Notes"). The Series D Notes were issued on March 1, 2017 and will pay interest quarterly on the last day of January, April, July and October until their respective maturities.

The Operating Partnership may prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Series D Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of any series of the Series D Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

The Note Purchase Agreement contains a number of customary financial covenants, including, without limitation, tangible net worth thresholds, secured and unsecured leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios. Subject to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Series D Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, Make-Whole Amount or interest under the Series D Notes, and (ii) a default in the payment of certain other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership, the Company or their subsidiaries, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount on the outstanding Series D Notes will become due and payable at the option of the Purchasers.

The Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Series D Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of their subsidiaries.
Certain loans require us to comply with various financial covenants. As of March 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership was in compliance with these financial covenants.

Credit Facility
On January 9, 2014, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Amended and Restated Credit Facility") which amended and restated the then in-place credit facility. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility provides for aggregate, unsecured borrowing of $350 million, consisting of a revolving line of credit of $250 million ("Revolver Loan") and a term loan of $100 million ("Term Loan A"). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility has an accordion feature that may allow the Operating Partnership to increase the availability thereunder up to an additional $250 million, subject to meeting specified requirements and obtaining additional commitments from lenders. At March 31, 2017, there was no outstanding balance under the Revolver Loan.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility initially bear interest at floating rates equal to, at our option, either (1) LIBOR, plus a spread which ranges from (a) 1.35%-1.95% (with respect to the Revolver Loan) and (b) 1.30% to 1.90% (with respect to Term Loan A), in each case based on our consolidated leverage ratio, or (2) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 50 bps or (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 100 bps, plus a spread which ranges from (i) 0.35%-0.95% (with respect to the Revolver Loan) and (ii) 0.30% to 0.90% (with respect to Term Loan A), in each case based on our consolidated leverage ratio.
The Revolver Loan initially matures on January 9, 2018, subject to the Operating Partnership's option to extend the Revolver Loan up to two times, with each such extension for a six-month period. Term Loan A initially matures on January 9, 2016, subject to the Operating Partnership's option to extend Term Loan A up to three times, with each such extension for a 12-month period. The foregoing extension options are exercisable by the Operating Partnership subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Effective as of January 9, 2017, the Operating Partnership exercised the second of three options to extend the maturity date of Term Loan A to January 9, 2018.
As of March 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership was in compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility financial covenants.
