The applicable credit spread was 1.35% as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. (5) The revolving line of credit has two six-month extension options that the Company can exercise, at its election, subject to (i) customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the revolving line of credit capacity. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility In July 2022, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured revolving credit facility aggregating $1.1 billion (the “Revolving Facility”) and a seven-year $300.0 million unsecured term loan (the “$300M Term Loan”). Under the Second Amendment, the Operating Partnership has the option, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans in an aggregate amount for all such increases and additional loans of up to $600.0 million, for a total facility amount of up to $2.0 billion. The Revolving Facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 8, 2026, which maturity date may be extended for up to two additional periods of six months at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively, plus a facility fee based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. The SOFR rate is also subject to an additional 0.10% spread adjustment as specified in the Second Amendment. The Revolving Facility is currently priced on the leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of September 30, 2023, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company had not made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. The Credit Agreement includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein. The following table summarizes the key terms of the Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands) : Leverage-Based Pricing Investment Grade Pricing Credit Agreement Maturity Date Extension Option Extension Fee Credit Spread Facility Fee Credit Spread Facility Fee SOFR Adjustment $1,100,000 unsecured revolving line of credit 1/8/2026 2 six 0.075% 1.05%–1.50% 0.15%–0.30% 0.725%–1.40% 0.125%–0.30% 0.10% The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, transactions with affiliates, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership satisfy certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum secured indebtedness ratio; (iv) a maximum unsecured leverage ratio; and (v) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of September 30, 2023, we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $0.3 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of September 30, 2023. Unsecured Term Loans As of September 30, 2023, the Operating Partnership has the following unsecured term loans: (i) a $120.0 million unsecured term loan due July 2024 (the “$120M Term Loan”), (ii) a $250.0 million unsecured term loan due October 2025 (the “$250M Term Loan”), (iii) a $150.0 million unsecured term loan due July 2026 (the “$150M Term Loan”), and (iv) the $300M Term Loan that matures in July 2029, each of which bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus a credit spread. The $120M Term Loan, $150M Term Loan and $300M Term Loan are each priced on a ratings-based pricing grid while the $250M Term Loan is priced on a leverage-based pricing grid. The agreements related to the $150M Term Loan and $300M Term Loan include a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth in each agreement.

The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay each of the $120M Term Loan and $150M Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without being subject to a prepayment fee. The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $250M Term Loan to $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts.

The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $300M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before July 29, 2024. The unsecured term loan agreements contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The unsecured term loan agreements all rank pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s Revolving Facility and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.
