ABL Agreement. At March 31, 2014, our asset based lending agreement (“ABL Agreement”) consisted of a revolving credit facility for up to $225 million of revolving credit borrowings, swing line loans and letters of credit. The ABL Agreement permits us to increase the size of the credit facility by an additional $150 million in certain circumstances subject to adequate borrowing base availability. We may borrow up to $25 million through swing line loans and may have up to $60 million of letters of credit outstanding.
Borrowings under the ABL Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 175 to 225 basis points, or a base rate, as defined in the ABL Agreement, plus a margin ranging from 75 to 125 basis points. At March 31, 2014, the applicable rate was LIBOR plus 175 basis points.
The ABL Agreement terminates on the earlier of (1) December 18, 2017 and (2) 60 days prior to the final maturity of our 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes. We pay a commitment fee for any unused borrowing capacity under the ABL Agreement of either 37.5 basis points per annum or 25 basis points per annum, based on daily average availability during the previous calendar quarter. At March 31, 2014, our commitment fee was 37.5 basis points. Our obligations under the ABL Agreement are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on all of our U.S. receivables and inventory, certain cash and other supporting obligations. Borrowings are not subject to any financial maintenance covenants unless excess availability is less than the greater of $22.5 million and 10% of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Agreement. Excess availability based on March 31, 2014 data, as reduced by outstanding letters of credit and accrued fees and expenses of $28.9 million, was $171.4 million.
8.75% Senior Unsecured Notes. The 8.75% Senior Unsecured Notes (“Senior Unsecured Notes”) mature on September 1, 2020. The Senior Unsecured Notes balance at March 31, 2014 is net of $1.9 million of unamortized discount. Based on quoted market prices, the outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes had a fair value of $201.6 million at March 31, 2014.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we redeemed $22.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a redemption price of 103%, plus accrued and unpaid interest and recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million. After August 31, 2015, we may redeem the Senior Unsecured Notes at specified redemption prices. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture securing the Senior Unsecured Notes), we are required to offer to purchase the outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes at a purchase price of 101.0%. The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by essentially all of our U.S. subsidiaries, but are subordinate to borrowings under the ABL Agreement.
The indenture securing the Senior Unsecured Notes contains customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and make investments. We believe we were compliant with these covenants at March 31, 2014 and expect to remain in compliance through March 31, 2015.
7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes. The 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) mature on June 1, 2017. Based on quoted market prices, the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes had a fair value of $430.0 million at March 31, 2014.
We may redeem any portion of the Senior Subordinated Notes at specified redemption prices, subject to restrictions in the Senior Unsecured Notes. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the indenture securing the Senior Subordinated Notes), we are required to offer to purchase the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes at a purchase price of 101%. The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by essentially all of our U.S. subsidiaries, but are subordinate to the borrowings under the ABL Agreement and the Senior Unsecured Notes.
The indenture securing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and make investments. We believe we were compliant with these covenants at March 31, 2014 and expect to remain in compliance through March 31, 2015.
