In conjunction with the CapLease Merger, aggregate net premiums totaling $45.2 million were recorded upon assumption of the mortgages for above-market interest rates.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $42.5 million in unamortized net premiums included in mortgage notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
