Term Loans
On June 11, 2014, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “2014 Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto. The 2014 Term Loan Agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in the amount of $100 million (the “2014 Term Loan”). The 2014 Term Loan is scheduled to mature on July 11, 2019, subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breaches of representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness or a change of control of the Company, as defined in the 2014 Term Loan Agreement. The Company incurred lender fees and issuance costs totaling $0.2 million in connection with the issuance of the 2014 Term Loan. The lender fees and issuance costs are being amortized to expense over the term of the 2014 Term Loan.
On July 16, 2015, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “2015 Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto. The 2015 Term Loan Agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in the amount of $300 million (the “2015 Term Loan”). The 2015 Term Loan is scheduled to mature on July 16, 2020, subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breaches of representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness or a change of control of the Company, as defined in the 2015 Term Loan Agreement, and is amortized in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25 percent of the original principal amount of the 2015 Term Loan. The Company incurred lender fees and issuance costs totaling $1.4 million in connection with the issuance of the 2015 Term Loan. The lender fees and issuance costs are being amortized to expense over the term of the 2015 Term Loan. As of December 27, 2016, $14.7 million of the 2015 Term Loan's carrying amount is presented as the current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On February 1, 2017, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “2017 Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto. The 2017 Term Loan Agreement provides for up to two unsecured drawdowns of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million (the “2017 Term Loan”). The 2017 Term Loan is scheduled to mature on February 1, 2022, subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breaches of representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness or a change of control of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Term Loan Agreement. On February 1, 2017, the Company made a $100 million drawdown on the 2017 Term Loan.
Each of the 2014 Term Loan, 2015 Term Loan, and 2017 Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, (1) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00 percent to 1.50 percent depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio or (2) the highest of (a) the Bank of America prime rate, (b) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00 percent, plus a margin ranging from 0.00 percent to 0.50 percent depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company’s obligations under the 2014 Term Loan Agreement, 2015 Term Loan Agreement, and 2017 Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
The weighted-average interest rate for the 2014 Term Loan, including the amortization of lender fees and issuance costs and the impact of the Company's interest rate swaps, was 2.24 percent, 1.21 percent, and 1.15 percent for fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015, and fiscal 2014, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate for the 2015 Term Loan, including the amortization of lender fees and issuance costs and the impact of the Company's interest rate swaps, was 2.02 percent and 1.33 percent for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. As of December 27, 2016, the carrying amounts of the 2014 Term Loan and 2015 Term Loan approximate fair value as the interest rates approximate current market rates (Level 2 inputs).
On July 16, 2015, in order to hedge the variability in cash flows from changes in benchmark interest rates, the Company entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate initial notional value of $242.5 million. On January 9, 2017, the Company entered into consecutive forward-starting interest rate swaps agreements with an initial notional value of $200 million. The forward-starting interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments. See Note 11, Derivative Financial Instruments, for information on the Company's interest rate swaps.
Installment Payment Agreement
On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a Master Installment Payment Agreement (the “Master IPA”) with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC (“PNC”) pursuant to which PNC financed the Company's purchase of hardware, software, and services associated with new storage virtualization and disaster recovery systems. The Master IPA provides for a secured note payable in the amount of $12.7 million (the “2015 Note Payable”), payable in five annual installments beginning November 1, 2015 and each September 1st thereafter. As of December 27, 2016, there was $7.6 million outstanding under the Master IPA, and $2.5 million of the Master IPA is presented as the current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On July 16, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2015 Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, and each lender from time to time party thereto. The 2015 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility of $250 million that will become due on July 16, 2020, subject to acceleration upon certain specified events of default, including breaches of representations or covenants, failure to pay other material indebtedness or a change of control of the Company, as defined in the 2015 Credit Agreement. The 2015 Credit Agreement provides that the Company may select interest rates under the credit facility equal to, at the Company's option, (1) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00 percent to 1.50 percent depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio or (2) the highest of (a) the Bank of America prime rate, (b) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00 percent, plus a margin ranging from 0.00 percent to 0.50 percent depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of December 27, 2016, the Company had $40 million outstanding under the 2015 Credit Agreement. The weighted-average interest rate for borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement was 1.68 percent for fiscal 2016.
The 2014 Term Loan Agreement, 2015 Term Loan Agreement, 2015 Credit Agreement, and 2017 Term Loan Agreement contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting liens, dispositions, fundamental changes, investments, indebtedness, and certain transactions and payments. In addition, such term loan and credit agreements contain various financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy two financial covenants at the end of each fiscal quarter: (1) a consolidated leverage ratio less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00, and (2) a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00. As of December 27, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements.
