The amendment (the “Second Amendment”) requires that the proceeds of any new unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries be used to prepay term loans under the Credit Agreement until the outstanding balance of the term loans is equal to or less than $150 million. Prior to this amendment, the Operating Partnership, the Company and their respective subsidiaries were required to prepay the entire outstanding balance of the term loans with the proceeds of new unsecured debt. Except as amended by the Second Amendment, the remaining terms of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.
A copy of the Second Amendment is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The summary set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
