Form 8-K for LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST


17-Feb-2009

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 13, 2009, Lexington Realty Trust, or the Trust, entered into a credit agreement among the Trust, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P., and Net 3 Acquisition L.P., jointly and severally as borrowers, KeyBank National Association, as agent, and each of the financial institutions initially a signatory thereto together with their assignees pursuant to Section 12.5 therein.
The credit agreement provides for a secured credit facility consisting of a $165.0 million term loan and a $85.0 million revolving loan. The secured credit facility bears interest at 2.85% over LIBOR and matures in February 2011, but can be extended until February 2012 at the Trust's option.
The loans under the facility are secured by ownership interest pledges and guarantees by certain of the Trust's subsidiaries that in the aggregate own interests in a borrowing base consisting of 72 properties. With the consent of the lenders, the Trust can increase the size of (1) the term loan by $135.0 million and (2) the revolving loan by $115.0 million (or $250.0 million in the aggregate, for a total facility size of $500.0 million) by adding properties to the borrowing base.
The credit agreement contains representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, events of defaults and remedies typical for this type of term loan. The principal financial covenants impacting the Trust's leverage under this facility are (1) the Trust's total indebtedness may not exceed 65% of its capitalized value; (2) the Trust's adjusted EBITDA determined on a consolidated basis for the period of two consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ending may not be less than 150% of the Trust's debt service for such period; (3) the Trust's adjusted EBITDA for the period of two consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ending may not be less than 140% of the Trust's fixed charges for such period; (4) the Trust's principal amount of recourse secured indebtedness determined on a consolidated basis may not exceed 10% of the Trust's capitalized value; (5) the Trust's principal amount of recourse secured indebtedness on a property may not exceed 75% of a stabilized property or 80% of a development property; (6) the Trust's tangible net worth may not be less than $1,260,000,000 plus 75% of the net proceeds from certain equity offerings by the Trust; and (7) the Trust's floating rate indebtedness may not exceed 35% of the Trust's total indebtedness. The credit agreement also restricts the amount of capital the Trust can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unconsolidated entities, unimproved land, properties under construction, notes receivable, and properties leased under ground leases.
In addition, the credit agreement contains a covenant that restricts the ability of the borrowers to make certain payments. This covenant contains certain exceptions, including an exception that allows the Trust's operating partnerships to make any distributions necessary to allow the Trust to
(i) maintain its status as a real estate investment trust or (ii) distribute 95.0% of funds from operations. The Trust does not anticipate that this provision will adversely affect the ability of its operating partnerships to make distributions sufficient for the Trust to pay dividends under its current dividend policy.
