Term loan facility	$	250,000	$	—
Unsecured revolving credit facility	—		—

On March 29, 2019, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2015. The Credit Facility (as defined below), which matures on March 29, 2023, consists of a $600 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $250 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Facility includes a 90-day delayed draw provision, which allowed us to draw the full $250 million from the Term Facility in June 2019 in connection with the maturity of the 2019 Notes. We may increase the Credit Facility to not more than $1 billion in the aggregate, at our request, upon satisfaction of specified conditions. The Revolving Facility contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. We may borrow under the Revolving Facility in the ordinary course of business to repay senior notes and fund our operations, including our land acquisition, land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Revolving Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, depending on our leverage ratio. Interest rates on borrowings under the Term Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.85%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

We had no outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. As of December 31, 2019, we had $250 million outstanding debt under the Term Facility with an interest rate of 3.29%. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $4.3 million and $2.4 million, of capitalized debt financing costs. These costs related to the Credit Facility will amortize over the remaining term of the Credit Facility and are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Accrued interest, including loan commitment fees, related to the Credit Facility was $1.2 million and $402,000 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit of $32.6 million and $31.8 million, respectively. These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations. We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.

Interest Incurred

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred interest of $89.7 million and $91.6 million, respectively, related to all notes payable and Senior Notes outstanding during the period.
