In October 2011, the Operating Partnership closed on a $85,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), which is guaranteed by the Company. Subject to customary conditions, at the Company’s option, total commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased up to an aggregate of $135,000,000. The Company intends to use borrowings under the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital, development and acquisition activities, capital expenditures, repayment of indebtedness or other corporate activities. The Credit Facility matures on October 26, 2014, and may be extended for two-one year terms to October 2016, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 175 to 260 basis points depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.
