Mortgages and Notes Payable
On January 13, 2012, the Company procured a $215,000 secured term loan from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as agent. The term loan is secured by ownership interest pledges by certain subsidiaries that collectively own a borrowing base of properties. The secured term loan matures in January 2019. The secured term loan requires regular payments of interest only at interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.85% dependent on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined. Upon the date when the Company obtains an investment grade debt rating from at least two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, the interest rate under the secured term loan is dependent on its debt rating. The Company may not prepay any outstanding borrowings under the secured term loan facility through January 12, 2013, but may prepay outstanding borrowings anytime thereafter, however at premium for the next three years. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company entered into interest-rate swap agreements to fix LIBOR at a weighted-average rate of 1.578% through January 2019 on the $161,000 of outstanding LIBOR-based borrowings. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $54,000 of availability under the secured term loan.

In addition, the Company refinanced its $300,000 secured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in January 2014, but could have been extended to January 2015 at the Company's option, with a new $300,000 secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank N.A. ("KeyBank"), as agent. The new revolving credit facility has the same security as the new secured term loan. The new secured revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.625% to 2.375% based on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined. Upon the date when the Company obtains an investment grade debt rating from at least two of Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, the interest rate under the new secured revolving credit facility is dependent on its debt rating. The new secured revolving credit facility matures in January 2015 but can be extended until January 2016 at the Company's option. With the consent of the lenders, the Company can increase the size of the secured revolving credit facility by $225,000 for a total secured revolving credit facility size of $525,000 by adding properties to the borrowing base or admitting additional lenders. The borrowing availability of the secured revolving credit facility is based upon the net operating income, as defined, of the properties comprising the borrowing base. At March 31, 2012, the secured revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $20,000, outstanding letters of credit of $3,744 and availability of $276,256. The new revolving credit facility and the new secured term loan are subject to financial covenants which the Company was in compliance with at March 31, 2012.

The Company had $25,000 and $35,551 secured term loans with KeyBank, which were satisfied in January 2012 and the Company recognized debt satisfaction charges of $1,578 as a result of the satisfaction.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company issued $115,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve its REIT status. The notes have a current conversion rate of 142.6917 common shares per one thousand principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $7.01 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including increases in the Company's dividend rate above a certain threshold and the issuance of stock dividends. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at the Company's election. The notes are convertible prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning in January 2029 and also upon the occurrence of specified events.
During 2007, the Company issued an aggregate $450,000 of 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes due in 2027. The Company prepaid $387,850 of the notes prior to 2012 and the remaining $62,150 of notes were repurchased by the Company and satisfied in January 2012 pursuant to a holder repurchase option. This resulted in debt satisfaction charges of $44.
