2012 Credit Facility
In July 2015, we entered into the third amendment to the credit facility that was originally entered into by the Company in November 2012, referred to as the 2012 credit facility, which increased our unsecured corporate facility by $500.0 million. The revolving credit facility was increased by $400.0 million to $1.6 billion and the term loan portion of the facility was increased by $100.0 million to $933.0 million.
In January 2015, we amended the 2012 credit facility by entering into a second amended and restated credit agreement, which decreased the interest-rate margin and facility fee applicable to the revolving credit facility by 20 basis points and five basis points, respectively, and extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to March 29, 2019 with an as-of-right extension through March 29, 2020.
In November 2014, we increased the term loan portion of the facility by $50.0 million to $833.0 million.
In March 2014, we entered into an amendment to the 2012 credit facility, which among other things, increased the term loan portion of the facility by $383.0 million to $783.0 million, decreased the interest-rate margin applicable to the term loan portion of the facility by 25 basis points and extended the maturity of the term loan portion of the facility from March 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019.
As of December 31, 2015, the 2012 credit facility, as amended, consisted of a $1.6 billion revolving credit facility, or the revolving credit facility, and a $933.0 million term loan, or the term loan facility. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity under the revolving credit facility to $3.0 billion at any time prior to the maturity date for the revolving credit facility without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.
As of December 31, 2015, the 2012 credit facility bore interest at a spread over LIBOR ranging from (i) 87.5 basis points to 155 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility and (ii) 95 basis points to 190 basis points for loans under the term loan facility, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. At December 31, 2015, the applicable spread was 125 basis points for revolving credit facility and 140 basis points for the term loan facility. At December 31, 2015, the effective interest rate was 1.45% for the revolving credit facility and 1.67% for the term loan facility. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 12.5 basis points to 30 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. As of December 31, 2015, the facility fee was 25 basis points. As of December 31, 2015, we had $73.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, $994.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $933.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, with total undrawn capacity of $532.9 million under the 2012 credit facility.
We, SL Green and the Operating Partnership are all borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2012 credit facility. None of SL Green's other subsidiaries are obligors under the 2012 credit facility.
The 2012 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2012 credit facility, as amended, and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, SL Green's ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that SL Green will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to SL Green's common stock or other equity interests, except to enable SL Green to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
