On October 6, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") with a seasonal increase to $350.0 million and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on October 6, 2019.

We use the Revolving Credit Facility to provide financing for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as to finance capital expenditures and to support our letter of credit requirements. Borrowings are limited to the availability under a borrowing base that is determined principally on eligible inventory as defined by the Revolving Credit Facility agreement. Inventory, cash and cash equivalents are pledged as collateral. The daily interest rates are determined by a prime rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, as set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility agreement. For the nine months ended October 31, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings and the average daily borrowings were 1.50% and $80.2 million, respectively.

Letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility support certain merchandise purchases and collateralize retained risks and deductibles under various insurance programs. At October 31, 2015, outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $5.0 million. These letters of credit expire within twelve months of issuance. Excess borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility at October 31, 2015 was $129.1 million.

The Revolving Credit Facility agreement contains covenants which, among other things, restrict, based on required levels of excess availability, (i) the amount of additional debt or capital lease obligations, (ii) the payment of dividends and repurchase of common stock under certain circumstances and (iii) related party transactions. The agreement also contains a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant in the event excess availability is below a defined threshold or an event of default has occurred. At October 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of the debt covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility agreement and expect to remain in compliance.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2015, we financed approximately $5.1 million of capital expenditures, bearing interest of 1.4%, of which $1.8 million will be paid in 2016 and $3.3 million will be paid in 2017.
