On June 28, 2018, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement refinances our credit facility under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) dated March 4, 2011, to include a $200,000 tranche A term loan and a $400,000 revolving credit facility. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the consent of the lenders, we may from time to time increase its borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility or tranche A term loan by an aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000. The 2018 Credit Agreement expires on June 28, 2023. Additionally, subject to certain restrictions and conditions (i) any of our domestic or foreign subsidiaries may become borrowers and (ii) borrowings may occur in multi-currencies.

As of July 31, 2018, we had $200,000 of term loan A borrowings outstanding and no revolver borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The tranche A term loan is subject to principal amortization, with $10.0 million due and payable in each of fiscal 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, with the remaining $160.0 million due and payable at maturity on June 28, 2023.

Borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement bear interest at rates ranging from 0.00% to 1.00% above prime rate for base rate borrowings, or at rates ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), depending upon our “Consolidated Leverage Ratio,” which is defined as the consolidated ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted under the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement (“Consolidated EBITDA”). The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at rates ranging from 0.20% to 0.35%, depending on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio. At July 31, 2018, the lender’s base rate was 5.00% and the LIBOR rate was 1.25%. The margins applicable to our outstanding borrowings were 0.25% above the lender’s base rate or 1.25% above LIBOR. All of our outstanding borrowings were under LIBOR contracts at July 31, 2018. The 2018 Credit Agreement also provides for fees on the unused portion of our facility at rates ranging from 0.20% to 0.35%, depending upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio, which was 0.20% at July 31, 2018. At July 31, 2018, the tranche A term loan interest rate was approximately 3.35%.
 
The 2018 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants reasonably customary for similar credit facilities and is secured by (i) substantially all assets of Cantel and its U.S.-based subsidiaries, (ii) a pledge by Cantel of all of the outstanding shares of its U.S.-based subsidiaries and 65% of the outstanding shares of certain of Cantel’s foreign-based subsidiaries and (iii) a guaranty by Cantel’s domestic subsidiaries. We are in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement.
 
During fiscal 2018, in connection with the refinancing of our credit agreement, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt which included a write-off of debt financing costs of $127, which is recorded in interest expense, net for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018.
