DEBT OBLIGATIONS

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015, the Company repaid $3.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of principal on its mortgage debt in the ordinary course of business. Except as indicated below with respect to the Company's revolving credit facility and unsecured Term Loan C, during these periods there were no changes to the outstanding balances of the Company's unsecured debt.

On August 19, 2015, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement to extend the maturity date of the mortgage note payable collateralized by two of its properties located at 8260 Greensboro Drive and 1676 International Drive in Mclean, Virginia (referred to as "Tysons Corner" in Note 7 "Debt Obligations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014) until October 9, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance was $88.0 million. See Note 14, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding the repayment of the note.
On May 15, 2015, the Company closed on a new four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") that provides for borrowings of up to $600.0 million. The Company expects to use advances under the New Credit Facility for general business purposes, including to fund costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments of properties, fund share repurchases and to repay from time to time other debt. On terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement, the Company may enter into unsecured term loans and/or increase the initial amount of the credit facility by up to, in the aggregate for all such term loans and increases, an additional $400.0 million. The New Credit Facility includes a $65.0 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $60.0 million sub-limit for swing-loans. The New Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 15, 2019, and is subject to two six-month extensions on terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement.

At the Company's option, loans outstanding under the New Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) LIBOR plus between 0.875% and 1.55% based on the Company's credit rating or (2) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR for a one month period plus 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% based on the Company's credit rating. The New Credit Facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to the Company at a reduced interest rate. In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment at a rate per annum ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% based on the Company's credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter or credit equal to the LIBOR Margin. Based on the Company's current credit rating, the LIBOR margin is 1.20% and the facility fee is 0.25%. The Company had no borrowings under the New Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015.

The terms of the New Credit Facility require that the Company maintain customary financial and other covenants, including: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net worth; (iii) a leverage ratio less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (v) a ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value less than or equal to 0.40 to 1.00; and (vi) a ratio of unencumbered cash flow to interest expense on unsecured debt greater than 1.75 to 1.00. In addition, the New Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and distributions on shares in excess of 95% of the Company's funds from operations (FFO) except to the extent necessary to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. At September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the New Credit Facility.

Concurrently with its entry into the New Credit Facility, the Company terminated its then existing unsecured revolving credit facility, which had a scheduled maturity date of February 1, 2016.

On June 1, 2015, the Company amended its Term Loan C Agreement dated December 15, 2011 to align the above aforementioned financial and operating covenants and restrictions of the New Credit Facility with that of Term Loan C. The amendment was filed as part of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015. See Item 6.,"Exhibits."
