Increase in Borrowing Base Availability under KeyBank Credit Facility

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2012, Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, Carter/Validus Operating Partnership, LP (“CVOP”), entered into a credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and the other lenders party thereto, to obtain a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $225,000,000 (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), consisting of a $170,000,000 revolving credit loan, with a maturity date of August 9, 2016, subject to CVOP’s right to a 12-month extension, and a $55,000,000 term loan, with a maturity date of August 9, 2017, subject to CVOP’s right to a 12-month extension.

On September 19, 2013, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of an 82,316 rentable square foot medical facility located in San Antonio, Texas (the “Victory Medical Center Landmark”), CVOP, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a joinder agreement and an assignment of leases and rents with KeyBank to add the Victory Medical Center Landmark to the collateral pool of the KeyBank Credit Facility, which increased CVOP’s borrowing base availability under the KeyBank Credit Facility by approximately $18,268,000. CVOP also pledged a security interest in the Victory Medical Center Landmark as collateral to secure the KeyBank Credit Facility pursuant to a deed of trust, dated September 19, 2013.

On September 19, 2013, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 50,000 rentable square foot medical facility located in San Antonio, Texas (the “Post Acute/Warm Springs Rehab Hospital of Westover Hills”), CVOP, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a joinder agreement and an assignment of leases and rents with KeyBank to add the Post Acute/Warm Springs Rehab Hospital of Westover Hills to the collateral pool of the KeyBank Credit Facility, which increased CVOP’s borrowing base availability under the KeyBank Credit Facility by approximately $11,429,000. CVOP also pledged a security interest in the Post Acute/Warm Springs Rehab Hospital of Westover Hills as collateral to secure the KeyBank Credit Facility pursuant to a deed of trust, dated September 19, 2013.

The actual amount of credit available under the KeyBank Credit Facility is a function of certain loan-to-cost, loan-to-value, debt yield and debt service coverage ratios contained in the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement. As of September 19, 2013, the total borrowing base availability under the KeyBank Line of Credit was $144,552,000. As of September 19, 2013, the outstanding balance under the KeyBank Line of Credit was $55,000,000 and the Company had approximately $89,552,000 remaining available thereunder.

The material terms of the joinder agreements, the assignments of leases and rents and the deed of trusts are qualified in their entirety by the agreements attached as Exhibit 10.1 through 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
