In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements as a direct reduction of related debt liabilities with amortization of debt issuance costs reported as interest expense. Under current U.S. GAAP standards, debt issuance costs are reported as deferred charges (i.e., as an asset). This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and is to be applied retrospectively upon adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Genesis adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2015.

As of September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement and senior unsecured notes indentures.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

In April 2016, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the committed amount under our revolving credit facility to $1.7 billion (from $1.5 billion), with the ability to increase the committed amount by an additional $300.0 million, subject to lender consent and (ii) permanently relax the maximum consolidated leverage ratio to 5.5 to 1.0.

The key terms for rates under our $1.7 billion senior secured credit facility, which are dependent on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), are as follows:

•The applicable margin varies from 1.50% to 2.75% on Eurodollar borrowings and from 0.50% to 1.75% on alternate base rate borrowings.

•Letter of credit fees range from 1.50% to 2.50%

•The commitment fee on the unused committed amount will range from 0.250% to 0.500%.

•The accordion feature is $300.0 million, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility up to $2.0 billion for acquisitions or growth projects, subject to lender consent.

At September 30, 2016, we had $1.2 billion borrowed under our $1.7 billion credit facility, with $48.0 million of the borrowed amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Our credit agreement allows up to $100.0 million of the capacity to be used for letters of credit, of which $6.0 million was outstanding at September 30, 2016. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date. The total amount available for borrowings under our credit facility at September 30, 2016 was $527.0 million.
