2013 Revolving Facility

On April 17, 2013, PREIT, PREIT Associates, and PRI (collectively, the “Borrower” or “we”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2013 Revolving Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and the other financial institutions signatory thereto, for a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The 2013 Revolving Facility replaced the previously existing 2010 Credit Facility. All capitalized terms used in this note 4 and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2013 Revolving Facility.

As of September 30, 2013, $90.0 million was outstanding under our 2013 Revolving Facility and the unused portion that was available to us was $310.0 million. In October 2013, we borrowed an additional $70.0 million, which was used in the October 2013 repayment of the mortgage loan secured by Exton Square Mall and for other working capital purposes. Following this borrowing, there was $160.0 million outstanding under our 2013 Revolving Facility and the unused portion that was available to us was $240.0 million.

The weighted average interest rate on outstanding 2013 Revolving Facility borrowings as of September 30, 2013 was 1.88%. Interest expense related to the 2013 Revolving Facility was $0.6 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Deferred financing fee amortization associated with the 2013 Revolving Facility was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

The initial maturity of the 2013 Revolving Facility is April 17, 2016, and the Borrower has options for two one-year extensions of the initial maturity date, subject to certain conditions and to the payment of an extension fee of 0.15% and 0.20% of the Facility Amount for the first and second options, respectively.

Amounts borrowed under the 2013 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate between 1.50% and 2.05% per annum, depending on PREIT’s leverage, in excess of LIBOR, with no floor, as set forth in the table below. The rate in effect at September 30, 2013 was 1.70% per annum in excess of LIBOR. In determining PREIT’s leverage (the ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value), the capitalization rate used to calculate Gross Asset Value is 6.50% for each Property having an average sales per square foot of more than $500 for the most recent period of 12 consecutive months and (b) 7.50% for any other Property.

The unused portion of the 2013 Revolving Facility is subject to a fee of 0.30% per annum.

Certain of PREIT’s subsidiaries that are not otherwise prevented from doing so serve as guarantors for funds borrowed under the 2013 Revolving Facility.

The Borrower has the option to increase the maximum amount available under the 2013 Revolving Facility, through an accordion option, from $400.0 million to as much as $600.0 million, in increments of $5.0 million (with a minimum increase of $25.0 million), based on Wells Fargo Bank’s ability to obtain increases in Revolving Commitments from the current lenders or Revolving Commitments from new lenders. No increase to the maximum amount available under the 2013 Revolving Facility has been exercised by the Borrower.

The 2013 Revolving Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in facilities of this type, including, without limitation, requirements that PREIT maintain, on a consolidated basis: (1) minimum Tangible Net Worth of not less than 75% of the Company’s tangible net worth on December 31, 2012, plus 75% of the Net Proceeds of all Equity Issuances effected at any time after December 31, 2012; (2) maximum ratio of Total Liabilities to Gross Asset Value of 0.60:1, provided that it will not be a Default if the ratio exceeds 0.60:1 but does not exceed 0.625:1, so long as the ratio does not exceed 0.60:1 for more than two consecutive quarters and such ratio has not exceeded 0.60:1 more than two times during the term; (3) minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges of 1.45:1 on or before June 30, 2014, or 1.50:1 thereafter; (4) minimum Unencumbered Debt Yield of 12.0%; (5) minimum Unencumbered NOI to Unsecured Interest Expense of 1.75:1; (6) maximum ratio of Secured Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value of 0.60:1; (7) maximum Investments in unimproved real estate and predevelopment costs not in excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (8) maximum Investments in Persons other than Subsidiaries, Consolidated Affiliates and Unconsolidated Affiliates not in excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (9) maximum Mortgages in favor of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary not in excess of 5.0% of Gross Asset Value; (10) the aggregate value of the Investments and the other items subject to the preceding clauses (7) through (9) not in excess of 10.0% of Gross Asset Value; (11) maximum Investments in Consolidation Exempt Entities not in excess of 25.0% of Gross Asset Value; (12)maximum Projects Under Development not in excess of 15.0% of Gross Asset Value; (13) the aggregate value of the Investments and the other items subject to the preceding clauses (7) through (9) and (11) and (12) not in excess of 35.0% of Gross Asset Value; and (14) Distributions may not exceed (A) with respect to our preferred shares, the amounts required by the terms of the preferred shares, and (B) with respect to our common shares, the greater of (i) 95.0% of Funds From Operations and (ii) 110% of REIT taxable income for a fiscal year.

As of September 30, 2013, the Borrower was in compliance with all such financial covenants.

The Borrower may prepay the 2013 Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement obligations for the lenders’ breakage costs for LIBOR borrowings. The Borrower must repay the entire principal amount outstanding under the 2013 Revolving Facility at the end of its term, as the term may have been extended.

Upon the expiration of any applicable cure period following an event of default, the lenders may declare all of the obligations in connection with the 2013 Revolving Facility immediately due and payable, and the Commitments of the lenders to make further loans under the 2013 Revolving Facility will terminate. Upon the occurrence of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of PREIT, PREIT Associates, PRI, any Material Subsidiary, any subsidiary that owns or leases an Unencumbered Property or certain other subsidiaries, all outstanding amounts will automatically become immediately due and payable and the Commitments of the lenders to make further loans will automatically terminate.

The Borrower used the initial proceeds from the 2013 Revolving Facility to repay both $97.5 million outstanding under the 2010 Term Loan and $95.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Revolving Facility. At the closing of the 2013 Revolving Facility, there was $192.5 million outstanding under the 2013 Revolving Facility.

2010 Credit Facility

Prior to April 17, 2013, our credit facility consisted of a revolving line of credit with a capacity of $250.0 million (the “2010 Revolving Facility”) and term loans with an aggregate balance of $97.5 million (collectively, the “2010 Term Loan” and, together with the 2010 Revolving Facility, the “2010 Credit Facility”).

Interest expense related to the 2010 Revolving Facility was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and $0.4 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The weighted average effective interest rates based on amounts borrowed under the 2010 Term Loan for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 4.89%. Interest expense, excluding non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees related to the 2010 Term Loan, was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and $2.4 million and $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Deferred financing fee amortization associated with the 2010 Credit Facility was $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and $0.8 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accelerated deferred financing fee amortization was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The accelerated deferred financing fee amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $0.8 million in connection with permanent paydowns of the 2010 Term Loan of $84.5 million in January and February 2013, and $0.1 million in connection with the $97.5 million final permanent paydown of the 2010 Term Loan in April 2013.
