Financing Arrangements
Our financing arrangements are primarily provided by a committed senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. The arrangement is secured by substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by our material domestic subsidiaries.
Funds may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed under the revolving credit facility without premium or penalty (subject to any customary LIBOR breakage fees). The revolving credit facility is reflected as debt on our balance sheet only if we borrow money under this facility. Outstanding letters of credit reduce our availability to borrow revolving loans under the facility. We are required to make quarterly principal payments under the term loan A facility of $5 million through June 30, 2019, $7.5 million beginning September 30, 2019 through June 30, 2020, $10 million beginning September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2022 and a final payment of $260 million is due on May 12, 2022. We have excluded the required payments, within the next twelve months, under the term loan A facility totaling $20 million from current liabilities as of June 30, 2018, because we have the intent and ability to refinance the obligations on a long-term basis by using our revolving credit facility.
The financial ratios required under the senior credit facility, and the actual ratios we achieved for the first two quarters of 2018, are as follows:

The senior credit facility includes a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 3.50 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.75, in each case through May 12, 2022. The senior credit facility provides us with the flexibility not to exclude certain otherwise excludable charges incurred in any relevant period from the calculation of the leverage and interest coverage ratios for such period.
At June 30, 2018, of the $1,600 million available under the revolving credit facility, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,322 million with $278 million in outstanding borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit.
Recently Committed Senior Credit Facility
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, as discussed in Note 2, Pending Acquisition of Federal-Mogul, we entered into a debt commitment letter, pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC (the "Commitment Parties") have committed to provide a $4.9 billion senior credit facility, a portion of which will be used to finance the Cash Consideration portion of the purchase price and replace the Company’s existing senior credit facilities and certain senior facilities of Federal-Mogul. In June 2018, the Commitment Parties completed the syndication of the commitments for the $4.9 billion senior credit facility among a group of banks and other financial institutions. The new senior credit facility will consist of a five-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five-year $1.7 billion term loan A facility and a seven-year $1.7 billion term loan B facility. The new credit facilities will be secured on a senior basis by substantially all assets of the Company on a pari passu basis with Federal-Mogul’s existing secured notes, and will be guaranteed by certain material domestic subsidiaries. The commitment to provide financing is subject to specified limited conditions.
