Note H - Capital and Financing Transactions

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a consortium of eight banks for its $190.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  Additionally, the Company amended its $10.0 million working capital revolving credit facility under substantially the same terms and conditions, with the combined size of the facilities remaining at $200.0 million (collectively, the "New Facilities").  The New Facilities provide for modifications to the existing facilities by, among other things, extending the maturity date from January 31, 2014 to March 29, 2016, with an additional one-year extension option with the payment of a fee, increasing the size of the accordion feature from $50 million to as much as $160 million, lowering applicable interest rate spreads and unused fees, and modifying certain other terms and financial covenants.  The interest rate on the New Facilities is based on LIBOR plus 160 to 235 basis points, depending on overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 160 basis points).  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the New Facilities ranging between 25 and 35 basis points based  upon usage of the aggregate commitment (with the current rate set at 25 basis points).  Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the senior facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent.  KeyBank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada all acted as Documentation Agents.  Other participating lenders include JPMorgan Chase Bank, Trustmark National Bank, and Seaside National Bank and Trust.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.

On September 27, 2012, the Company closed a $125 million unsecured term loan.  The term loan has a maturity date of September 27, 2017, and has an accordion feature that allows for an increase in the size of the term loan to as much as $250 million.  Interest on the term loan is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 150 to 225 basis points depending on overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 150 basis points.)  The term loan has substantially the same operating and financial covenants as required by the Company's current unsecured revolving credit facility.  Keybanc Capital Markets, Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners on the term loan.  In addition, Keybank National Association acted as Administrative Agent; Bank of America, N. A. acted as Syndication Agent; and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acted as Documentation Agent.  Other participating lenders include Royal Bank of Canada, PNC Bank, National Association, U. S. Bank National Association, and Trustmark National Bank.

On October 10, 2012, the Company exercised $25 million of the $160 million accordion feature of its existing unsecured revolving credit facility which matures in March 2016 and increased capacity from $190 million to $215 million with the additional borrowing capacity being provided by U.S. Bank National Association, bringing the total number of participating lenders to nine.  The interest rate on the credit facility is currently LIBOR plus 160 basis points.  Other terms and conditions under the credit facility remain unchanged.

At September 30, 2012, the Company did not have any amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $125.0 million outstanding under its term loan.  The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants under its revolving credit facilities and term loan.

Mortgage notes payable at September 30, 2012 totaled $549.4 million, with an average interest rate of 5.5% and were secured by office properties.

On January 9, 2012, in connection with the sale of 111 East Wacker for a gross sale price of $150.6 million, the buyer assumed the existing $147.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the property which had a fixed interest rate of 6.3% and maturity date of July 2016.

On January 11, 2012, in connection with the purchase of The Pointe in Tampa, Florida, Fund II obtained a $23.5 million non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures in February 2019.  The mortgage has a fixed rate of 4.0% and is interest only for the first 42 months of the term.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II obtained a $50.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan, of which $15.0 million is Parkway's share, secured by Hayden Ferry II, a 300,000 square foot office property located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona.  The mortgage loan matures in July 2018 and bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable spread which ranges from 250 to 350 basis points over the term of the loan.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0%. The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted, and coterminous with the mortgage loan secured by Hayden Ferry I.
 

On March 9, 2012, the Company repaid a $16.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Bank of America Plaza, a 337,000 square foot office property in Nashville, Tennessee.  The mortgage loan had a fixed interest rate of 7.1% and was scheduled to mature in May 2012.  The Company repaid the mortgage loan using available proceeds under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities.

On May 31, 2012, in connection with the sale of Pinnacle at Jackson Place (the "Pinnacle") and Parking at Jackson Place, for a gross sales price of $29.5 million, the buyer assumed the existing $29.5 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the property with a weighted average interest rate of 5.2%.  The buyer also assumed the related $23.5 million interest rate swap which fixed a portion of the debt secured by the Pinnacle at an interest rate of 5.8%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, in conjunction with the sale of four Fund I assets, the buyer assumed $76.7 million of non-recourse first mortgage loans, of which $19.2 million was Parkway's share.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements.  The Company designated the swaps as cash flow hedges of the variable interest rates on the debt secured by 245 Riverside, Corporate Center Four, Cypress Center, Bank of America Center, Two Ravinia, Hayden Ferry I, Hayden Ferry II, and the $125 million unsecured term loan.  These swaps are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap with the lender of the loan secured by Hayden Ferry II in Phoenix, Arizona, for a $50 million notional amount that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which when combined with the applicable spread ranging from 250 to 350 basis points equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0% over the term of the loan.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments associated with the mortgage loan.

On May 31, 2012, in connection with the sale of the Pinnacle, the buyer assumed the interest rate swap, which had a notional amount of $23.5 million and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the debt secured by the Pinnacle at 5.8%.

On September 28, 2012, the Company executed two floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps for a notional amount totaling $125 million, associated with its term loan that fixes LIBOR at 0.7% for five years, which resulted in an initial all-in interest rate of 2.2%.  The interest rate swaps were effective October 1, 2012.
