Revolving Credit Facility

On December 8, 2011, Income NAV OP, entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) providing for up to $50.0 million of borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) as administrative agent, and other lending institutions that may become parties to the Credit Agreement (collectively, with JPMorgan Chase, the “Lenders”).

The Credit Facility allows Income NAV OP to borrow up to $50.0 million in revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”), with the maximum amount outstanding not to exceed (i) 70% of the aggregate value allocated to each qualified property comprising the borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”) during the period from December 8, 2011 through June 7, 2012 (the “Tier One Period”); (ii) 65% of the Borrowing Base during the period from June 8, 2012 to December 7, 2012 (the “Tier Two Period”); and (iii) 60% of the Borrowing Base during the period from December 8, 2012 through December 8, 2014 (the “Tier Three Period”). As of December 9, 2011, the Borrowing Base under the Credit Facility was approximately $20.0 million based on the underlying collateral pool for qualified properties. Up to 15.0% of the total amount available may be used for issuing letters of credit and up to 10.0% of the Credit Facility, not to exceed $15.0 million may be used for “swingline” loans. Subject to meeting certain conditions described in the Credit Agreement and the payment of certain fees, the amount of the Credit Facility may be increased up to a maximum of $250.0 million (the “Accordion Feature”). The Credit Facility matures on December 8, 2014. Income NAV OP borrowed approximately $3.5 million under the Credit Facility on December 8, 2011 and approximately $14.8 million on December 9, 2011.

The Revolving Loans will bear interest at rates depending upon the type of loan specified by Income NAV OP. For a eurodollar rate loan, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the interest rate will be equal to the one-month LIBOR (the “Eurodollar Rate”) for the interest period, plus the applicable rate (the “Eurodollar Applicable Rate”). The Eurodollar Applicable Rate is based upon the applicable period then in effect, and ranges from 2.40% during the Tier Three Period to 2.70% during the Tier One Period. For floating rate loans, the interest rate will be a per annum amount equal to the applicable rate (the “Floating Applicable Rate”) plus the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; (b) JPMorgan Chase’s Prime Rate; or (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Floating Applicable Rate is based upon the applicable period then in effect, and ranges from 1.40% during the Tier Three Period to 1.70% during the Tier One Period.

Income NAV OP was required to pay certain fees under the Credit Agreement, including an upfront fee, which totaled approximately $250,000. Subject to the closing of any increase pursuant to the Accordion Feature, Income NAV OP will also pay an annual agent fee of $25,000. Income NAV OP will also pay an annualized fee for any unused portion of the Credit Facility (the “Unused Fee”) commencing upon the conclusion of the first quarter after the effective date of the Credit Agreement. The Unused Fee is equal to the daily undrawn amount multiplied by a per annum percentage for such day, which is based upon the overall average unused percentage, and ranges from 0.50% per annum at an average unused percentage of less than 50% to 0.375% per annum at an average unused percentage of greater than or equal to 50%.  Income NAV OP must also pay certain fees upon the issuance of each letter of credit under the Credit Agreement and an annual fee based on the outstanding face amount of any letters of credit.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, borrowing conditions and affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum net worth, debt service coverage and leverage ratio requirements and dividend payout and REIT status requirements. The Credit Agreement also includes usual and customary events of default and remedies for facilities of this nature. Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the eurodollar rate loans and base rate committed loans will bear interest payable at an interest rate equal to 5.0% per annum above the interest rate that would otherwise be applicable at that time, until the default is cured. Similarly, the letter of credit fees described above will be increased to a rate of 5.0% above the letter of credit fee that would otherwise be applicable at that time. In addition to Income NAV OP breaching any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, events of default include, but are not limited to: (1) the failure to pay any principal when due; (2) the failure to pay interest and fees within five business days after the due date; (3) the occurrence of a change of control; (4) the inability to pay debts as they become due; (5) a material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty; (6) the bankruptcy or insolvency of Income NAV OP or any consolidated subsidiary; (7) a violation of any financial, negative or other covenants; (8) a violation of ERISA regulations; and (9) judgments against the Company or any consolidated subsidiary in excess of $10.0 million (not covered by insurance) that remain unsatisfied or unstayed for sixty days. If an event of default occurs and is not cured timely, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make further disbursements under the Credit Facility and all outstanding loans shall be immediately due and payable.
