Cantor Loan
 
On March 31, 2016, through certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company entered into a $32,097 portfolio commercial mortgage-backed securities loan (the “Cantor Loan”) with Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, LP (“CCRE”). The subsidiaries are GMR Melbourne, LLC, GMR Westland, LLC, GMR Memphis, LLC, and GMR Plano, LLC (“GMR Loan Subsidiaries”). The Cantor Loan has cross-default and cross-collateral terms. The Cantor Loan has a maturity date of April 6, 2026 and accrues annual interest at 5.22%. The first five years of the term require interest-only payments and thereafter payments will include interest and principal, amortized over a 30-year schedule. Prepayment can only occur within four months prior to the maturity date, except that after the earlier of (a) two years after the loan is placed in a securitized mortgage pool, or (b) May 6, 2020, the Cantor Loan can be fully and partially defeased upon payment of amounts due under the Cantor Loan and payment of a defeasance amount that is sufficient to purchase U.S. government securities equal to the scheduled payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due related to a full or partial defeasance under the Cantor Loan.
 
The Company secured the payment of the Cantor Loan with the assets, including property, facilities, and rents, held by the GMR Loan Subsidiaries and has agreed to guarantee certain customary recourse obligations, including findings of fraud, gross negligence, or breach of environmental covenants by the GMR Loan Subsidiaries. The GMR Loan Subsidiaries will be required to maintain a monthly debt service coverage ratio of 1.35:1.00 for all of the collateral properties in the aggregate.

Revolving Credit Facility
 
The Company, Operating Partnership, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries (such subsidiaries, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) are parties to a syndicated revolving credit facility with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”), as Administrative Agent (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). On March 6, 2018, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to increase its aggregate capacity by $90,000 to $340,000. In accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt, the Company capitalized the costs incurred related to this amendment as all of the syndicates’ capacity was increased with the modification.       
 
The Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company are guarantors of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available to borrow from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited according to a quarterly borrowing base valuation of certain properties owned by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The initial termination date of the Revolving Credit Facility is December 2, 2019, which could be extended for one year in the case that no event of default occurs.
 
Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear annual interest at a floating rate that is based, at the Operating Partnership’s option, on (i) adjusted LIBOR plus 2.00% to 3.00% or (ii) a base rate plus 1.00% to 2.00%, in each case, depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Operating Partnership is obligated to pay a quarterly fee equal to a rate per annum equal to (x) 0.20% if the average daily unused commitments are less than 50% of the commitments then in effect and (y) 0.30% if the average daily unused commitments are greater than or equal to 50% of the commitments then in effect and determined based on the average daily unused commitments during such previous quarter. 
The Operating Partnership is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with respect to liens, indebtedness, distributions, mergers, consolidations, investments, restricted payments and asset sales. The Operating Partnership must also maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 and as of the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, of less than (y) 0.65:1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending prior to October 1, 2019 and (z) thereafter, 0.60:1.00, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1.00, (iii) a minimum net worth of $119,781 plus 75% of all net proceeds raised through subsequent equity offerings and (iv) a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not greater than 0.10:1.00.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 the Company borrowed $68,750 under the Revolving Credit Facility and repaid $4,500 for a net amount borrowed of $64,250. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 the Company borrowed $101,200 under the Revolving Credit Facility and made no repayments. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, interest expense incurred on the Revolving Credit Facility was $1,766 and $454, respectively.
 
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $229,150 and $164,900 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.
