Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 4, 2013, Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the "Company") and Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the "Partnership", and together with the Company, collectively the "Borrowers") entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company as Administrative Agent ("Agent") and certain other lenders and parties named therein (the "Restated Credit Agreement").  The Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated August 5, 2011, among the Company, the Partnership, the Agent and other lenders and parties named therein (the "August 2011 Credit Agreement").  Among other things, the Restated Credit Agreement:

 
Provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of up to $175 Million, with an option by the Borrowers to increase such amount to $250 Million (the "Revolving Credit Facility").  The Revolving Credit Facility has a five-year term with two one-year extension options;
 
 
Provides for an unsecured term loan facility in the principal amount of $225 Million (the "Term Loan Facility") and an unsecured delayed draw term loan facility in the principal amount of $100 Million (the "Delayed Draw Facility"), with the Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Facility each having a seven-year term (with the entire principal amount being due and payable on June 4, 2020);
 
 
Provides for interest, at a rate based on LIBOR plus a margin determined using the applicable credit rating of the Borrowers for long-term unsecured debt securities (the Revolving Credit Facility margins are 1.50% and the margins for the Term Loan Facility and Delayed Draw Facility are 1.65% using the Company's current credit rating); and
 
 
Includes certain affirmative and negative covenants and contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy events.  In the case of an event of default, the lenders may, among other remedies, accelerate the payment of all obligations due from the Borrowers.

The proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used by the Borrowers to refinance indebtedness issued under the August 2011 Credit Agreement.

The above summary of the Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Credit Agreement.  A copy of the Restated Credit Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
