As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 9, 2016, we, our operating partnership, and certain of our subsidiaries, or the subsidiary guarantors, entered into a credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement, on February 3, 2016 with Bank of America, N.A., or Bank of America, as Administrative Agent, a Swing Line Lender and a L/C Issuer; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner; KeyBank, National Association, or KeyBank, as Syndication Agent, a Swing Line Lender and a L/C Issuer; KeyBanc Capital Markets, as Joint Lead Arranger; Citizens Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger; and the lenders named therein, to obtain a revolving line of credit with an aggregate maximum principal amount of $300,000,000, or the Revolving Credit Facility, and a term loan credit facility in the amount of $200,000,000, or the Term Loan Facility, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the maximum principal amount of the Credit Facilities could be increased by up to $500,000,000, for a total principal amount of $1,000,000,000, subject to (a) the terms of the Credit Agreement and (b) such additional financing being offered and provided by existing lenders or new lenders under the Credit Agreement.

Our aggregate borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $300,000,000 as of August 3, 2017. There were $216,000,000 in borrowings outstanding and $84,000,000 remained available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of August 3, 2017.
