Our credit facilities and certain long-term debt agreements have restrictive covenants and cross-default provisions, which generally provide, subject to our right to cure, for the acceleration of payments due in the event of a breach of a covenant or a default in the payment of a specified amount of indebtedness due under certain other debt agreements. We were in compliance with all such covenants and provisions for all periods presented.
Senior Secured Credit Agreements
Borrowings under the Secured Term Loan Facility due June 2024 (the “Secured Term Loan Facility”) bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.50 percent with a floor on LIBOR set at 1.00 percent. The Secured Term Loan Facility will mature on June 8, 2024. However, if we have not repaid our 6.75 percent Senior Notes due June 2021 or our 7.75 percent Senior Notes due November 2022 by the date that is 91 days prior to the respective maturity date of such notes, the Secured Term Loan Facility will mature on the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of such notes. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with the completion of the fourth term loan amendment agreement amending and restating our secured term loan facility due March 2019, we paid debt financing costs of approximately $8, of which $5 was capitalized and $3 was expensed, and paid original issue discount of approximately $2, all of which was capitalized, and recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $2 for the write-off of existing unamortized debt financing costs.
The Secured Term Loan Facility is secured by substantially all of our real estate, equipment and certain other assets. The Secured Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by our material subsidiaries (together with Supervalu, the “Term Loan Parties”). To secure their obligations under the Secured Term Loan Facility, the Term Loan Parties have granted a perfected first-priority security interest in substantially all of their intellectual property and a first-priority mortgage lien and security interest in certain owned or ground-leased real estate and associated equipment pledged as collateral. As of September 8, 2018 and February 24, 2018, there was $509 and $710, respectively, of owned or ground-leased real estate and associated equipment pledged as collateral, which was included in Property, plant and equipment, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the obligations of the Term Loan Parties under the Secured Term Loan Facility are secured by second-priority security interests in the collateral securing our $1,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving ABL Credit Facility”). As of September 8, 2018 and February 24, 2018, $6 and $8 of the Secured Term Loan Facility was classified as current, respectively, excluding debt financing costs and original issue discount.
The loans under the Secured Term Loan Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in certain minimum principal amounts, subject to the payment of breakage or similar costs. Pursuant to the Secured Term Loan Facility, we must, subject to certain exceptions and certain customary reinvestment rights, apply 100 percent of Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the facility) from certain types of asset sales (excluding proceeds of the collateral security of the Revolving ABL Credit Facility and other secured indebtedness) to prepay the loans outstanding under the Secured Term Loan Facility. We must also prepay loans outstanding under the facility no later than 90 days after the fiscal year end in an aggregate principal amount equal to a percentage (which percentage ranges from 0 to 50 percent depending on our Total Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the facility) as of the last day of such fiscal year) of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the facility) for the fiscal year then ended, minus any voluntary prepayments made during such fiscal year with Internally Generated Cash (as defined in the facility). Based on our Excess Cash Flow in fiscal 2018, no prepayment was required in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The potential amount of prepayment from Excess Cash Flow in fiscal 2019 that may be required in fiscal 2020 is not reasonably estimable as of September 8, 2018.
On May 2, 2018, we made a mandatory prepayment on the Secured Term Loan Facility of $34 in connection with the sale of certain of our Farm Fresh stores. Additionally, on May 9, 2018, we made a mandatory prepayment on the Secured Term Loan Facility of $100 in connection with the sale leaseback of certain of our owned distribution centers. Non-cash charges of $2 for the write-off of existing unamortized financing costs and original issuance discount were incurred as a result of these mandatory prepayments.
The assets included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets securing the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility on a first-priority basis, and the unused available credit and fees under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, were as follows:

The revolving loans under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in certain minimum principal amounts, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to breakage or similar costs. SUPERVALU and those subsidiaries named as borrowers under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility are required to repay the revolving loans in cash and provide cash collateral under this facility to the extent that the revolving loans and letters of credit exceed the lesser of the borrowing base then in effect or the aggregate amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility. Certain of our material subsidiaries are co-borrowers under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, and this facility is guaranteed by the rest of our material subsidiaries (SUPERVALU and those subsidiaries named as borrowers and guarantors under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, the “ABL Loan Parties”). To secure their obligations under this facility, the ABL Loan Parties have granted a perfected first-priority security interest for the benefit of the facility lenders in their present and future inventory, credit card, wholesale trade, pharmacy and certain other receivables, prescription files and related assets. In addition, the obligations under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility are secured by second-priority liens on and security interests in the collateral securing the Secured Term Loan Facility, subject to certain limitations to ensure compliance with our outstanding debt instruments and leases.
Both the Secured Term Loan Facility and the Revolving ABL Credit Facility limit our ability to make Restricted Payments (as defined in both the Secured Term Loan Facility and the Revolving ABL Credit Facility), which include dividends to stockholders and share repurchases. The Secured Term Loan Facility allows up to $125 of Restricted Payments regardless of the resulting pro forma Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the facility). The Secured Term Loan Facility caps the aggregate amount of additional Restricted Payments that may be made over the life of the Secured Term Loan Facility, with the additional Restricted Payments being subject to a pro forma Total Secured Leverage Ratio requirement (as defined in the facility) of 3.5 to 1. That aggregate cap can fluctuate over time and the cap could be reduced by certain other actions we may take, including prepayments of debt other than the senior notes and Permitted Investments (as defined in the Secured Term Loan Facility). As of September 8, 2018, this aggregate cap was approximately $502. The Senior Term Loan Facility permits unlimited Restricted Payments if the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Term Loan Facility) after giving effect thereto would be less than 2.0 to 1. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility permits dividends up to $75 per fiscal year, not to exceed $175 in the aggregate over the life of the Revolving ABL Credit Facility as long as no Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the Revolving ABL Credit Facility) exists. Those caps could be reduced by senior note and other prepayments made by us. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility permits unlimited Restricted Payments as long as the Payment Conditions (as defined in the Revolving ABL Credit Facility) are met.
Debentures
On June 11, 2018, we partially redeemed the 6.75 percent Senior Notes due June 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $220. We paid the applicable redemption premium of approximately $4, which was expensed, and incurred non-cash charges of $1 for the write off of existing unamortized financing charges on the redeemed 2021 Notes.
The $180 of the 2021 Notes and the $350 of 7.75 percent Senior Notes due November 2022 contain operating covenants, including limitations on liens and on sale and leaseback transactions. We were in compliance with all such covenants and provisions for all periods presented.
