Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 11, 2011, we entered into and closed a five-year term loan (the "Term Loan") in the amount of $92 million from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, secured by the Company's Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson media and entertainment campuses. The purpose of the Term Loan is to fully refinance a $37 million mortgage loan secured by our Sunset Bronson campus that was scheduled to mature on April 30, 2011. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down the Company's credit facility.  Interest under the loan is payable monthly at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points. $37 million of the Term Loan is currently subject to an interest rate swap agreement that swaps one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 75 basis points through April 30, 2011. The Company is required to hedge at least half of the $92 million Term Loan within 30 days of the closing. The Term Loan has an eighteen-month period in which no pre-payment is permitted.  Our operating partnership has guaranteed 19.5% of the loan amount.  The loan agreement for the Term Loan includes customary financial covenants for loans of this type, including a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total assets, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and a minimum level of net worth. In addition, the loan agreement includes events of default that we believe are usual for loans and transactions of this type.
Located in the heart of Hollywood, California, Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson consists of 544,763 square feet of office and support space, 23 sound stage facilities totaling 312,669 square feet, and 1,905 parking spaces on 26.2 acres, encompassing nearly two city blocks.
 
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
The information set forth in Item 1.01 regarding the Term Loan is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
