ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On July 7, 2005, we renewed and extended our $310 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility, which now matures in April 2009, bears interest at an annual rate between LIBOR plus 0.85% plus a 0.20% annual facility fee. At such times as there are any amounts outstanding on the Credit Facility, we are required to make payments of interest only a minimum of once per fiscal quarter. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment, ranging from LIBOR plus 0.80% to LIBOR plus 1.55% based on our unsecured senior debt rating. The facility has a one-year extension option and can be increased to $400 million. We expect to use the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes.
The Credit Facility contains covenants and restrictions requiring us to meet certain financial ratios and to provide certain information to the lenders. Some of the financial covenants include a maximum total liabilities to gross asset value ratio, a minimum unsecured interest expense coverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and a limit of development activities as compared to total assets. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full principal balance of the Credit Facility becoming immediately due and payable.
Additionally, on July 7, 2005, Arden Realty, Inc., our general partner, executed a Repayment Guaranty (“the Guaranty”) in favor of the lenders under the Credit Facility, pursuant to which Arden Realty, Inc. has guaranteed the full repayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. The lenders may exercise their rights under the Guaranty on demand. Accordingly, Arden Realty, Inc. may be required to repay amounts owing under the Credit Facility at any time there is an outstanding principal balance.
