Our debt agreements contain financial covenants customary for such agreements including minimum levels of interest coverage and limitations on leverage. At first quarter-end 2015, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of these agreements.
At first quarter-end 2015, our senior secured credit facility provides for a $300,000,000 revolving line of credit maturing May 15, 2017. The revolving line of credit may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The revolving line of credit includes a $100,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit, of which $15,459,000 is outstanding at first quarter-end 2015. Total borrowings under our senior secured credit facility (including the face amount of letters of credit) may not exceed a borrowing base formula. At first quarter-end 2015, we had $284,541,000 in net unused borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility.
Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility, at our option we can borrow at LIBOR plus 4.0 percent or at the alternate base rate plus 3.0 percent. The alternate base rate is the highest of (i) KeyBank National Association’s base rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent or (iii) 30 day LIBOR plus 1 percent. Borrowings under the senior secured credit facility are or may be secured by (a) mortgages on the timberland, high value timberland and portions of raw entitled land, as well as pledges of other rights including certain oil and gas operating properties, (b) assignments of current and future leases, rents and contracts, (c) a security interest in our primary operating account, (d) a pledge of the equity interests in current and future material operating subsidiaries and most of our majority-owned joint venture interests, or if such pledge is not permitted, a pledge of the right to distributions from such entities, and (e) a pledge of certain reimbursements payable to us from special improvement district tax collections in connection with our Cibolo Canyons project. The senior secured credit facility provides for releases of real estate and other collateral provided that borrowing base compliance is maintained.
At first quarter-end 2015, secured promissory notes represent a $15,400,000 loan collateralized by a 413 guest room hotel located in Austin with a carrying value of $32,505,000. Other indebtedness principally represents $45,714,000 of senior secured loans for two multifamily properties, our 257-unit multifamily project in Austin and our 354-unit multifamily property in Dallas. The combined carrying value of these two multifamily properties is $87,012,000 at first quarter-end 2015.
At first quarter-end 2015 and year-end 2014, we have $14,276,000 and $15,168,000 in unamortized deferred financing fees which are included in other assets. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1,156,000 and $901,000 in first quarter 2015 and 2014 and is included in interest expense.
