or (2) the bank’s commercial bank floating rate (“CBFR”), which is the greater of the bank’s prime rate or one month LIBOR + 2.50%, adjusted down, from 1.25% to 0.50%.  We elect the interest rate with each borrowing under the line of credit.  In addition, there is an unused capacity fee of 0.15% to 0.30%.  The adjustments and unused capacity fee depend on the ratio of funded debt to our trailing four quarters of EBITDA, as defined, with four tiers ranging from a ratio of less than one to greater than two.  Letter of credit fees are based on the applicable LIBOR rate.   The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets and requires us to maintain a ratio of funded debt to our trailing four quarters of EBIDTA, as defined, of 2.5 to 1.0, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0.  We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2013.   In order to facilitate the Bios Acquisition, in May 2012 we borrowed $11,000,000 under the terms of the Line of Credit.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013 we made principal repayments of $2,500,000. As a result, the amount outstanding under the Line of Credit was $1,500,000 as of June 30, 2013.   Future contractual maturities of debt are as follows (in thousands):   <table style="text-align:left;WIDTH: 43.34%;
