For the first six months of 2015, our long-term debt decreased by $34.8 million, primarily reflecting debt payments of $86.5 million partially offset by debt discount amortization and additional borrowing of $45.0 million from the revolving credit agreement. On June 28, 2015, we had unused borrowing capacity of $586.0 million under our revolving credit agreement.

On June 29, 2015, we entered into an agreement to amend and extend our existing revolving credit facility with one expiring on June 29, 2020 (the Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement).  Total commitments under the Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement are $1.32 billion. The maximum total leverage ratio permitted by the new agreement is 5.0x through June 30, 2017, after which it is reduced to 4.75x through June 30, 2018 and then to 4.50x thereafter. Commitment fees on the revolving credit agreement are equal to 0.25% - 0.40% of the undrawn commitments, depending upon our leverage ratio, and are computed on the average daily undrawn balance under the revolving credit agreement and paid each quarter. Under the Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement, we may borrow at an applicable margin above the Eurodollar base rate (LIBOR loan) or the higher of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, or the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% (ABR loan). The applicable margin is determined based on our leverage ratio but differs between LIBOR loans and ABR loans. For LIBOR based borrowing, the margin varies from 1.75% to 2.50%. For ABR-based borrowing, the margin will vary from 0.75% to 1.50%.

Shortly after quarter end we also borrowed $200.0 million under a new five-year term loan. The interest rate on the term loan is equal to the same interest rates as borrowings under the Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement. Both the revolving credit agreement and the term loan are guaranteed by a majority of our wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries. These two transactions effectively increased our borrowing capacity by $214 million, for total unused borrowing capacity of $800 million as of June 29, 2015.
