Item 1.01.                                          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 14, 2005, AmeriVest Properties Inc. (“AmeriVest”) announced that it had entered into amended loan agreements for its secured and unsecured credit facilities with its primary bank group.

 

The current agreements require AmeriVest to repay $10 million of its secured facility and at least $5 million of its unsecured facility by September 15, 2005. The amendments eliminate these payments and require an aggregate $15 million payment against the facilities on or before January 17, 2005.  In addition, the maturity date for each facility has been extended to April 1, 2006.

 

The amendments also modify certain covenants and collateral provisions, including adding a requirement that AmeriVest enter into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer for the remaining term of the facilities.  The agreement entered into between AmeriVest and Charles K. Knight, President and CEO, on August 31, 2005 and announced in AmeriVest’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on September 6, 2005, satisfies that requirement.

 

In connection with the amended loan agreements, AmeriVest executed a letter agreement with its primary bank group which refers to provisions in the amended loan agreements that establish a plan of transfer for certain of the Applicant’s assets.  Pursuant to such provisions, the Letter sets forth prices below which the lender’s consent must be obtained prior to selling such assets.

 

Also in connection with the amended loan agreements, AmeriVest’s wholly-owned subsidiaries AmeriVest Chateau Inc. and AmeriVest Greenhill Inc. entered into certain amendments to existing collateral account agreements.

 

The description of the terms of each of these agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements, copies of which are included under Item 9.01(c) as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 to this Current Report and are included in this item by reference.
