On July 14, 2010, we issued $245 million of senior notes in a private placement to a group of institutional investors (the “2010 Senior Notes” and, with the 2008 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The 2010 Senior Notes were issued in four series as follows:
Series | Amount | Interest Rate | Maturity Date
E | $ | 60 | million | 4.72 | % | July 14, 2016
F | $ | 72 | million | 5.04 | % | July 14, 2017
G | $ | 28 | million | 5.42 | % | July 14, 2019
H | $ | 85 | million | 5.59 | % | July 14, 2020
We are required to pay the entire unpaid principal balances of each note series on its maturity date except for Series B notes, which required annual principal payments of $8.0 million starting on May 7, 2011 and ending on May 7, 2015. The Senior Notes require interest payments semi-annually and also include certain restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants which include the maintenance of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The issuance of the Senior Notes also required us to make certain covenants typical of unsecured facilities. The following table presents the principal amounts, carrying amounts and fair values for the Senior Notes at September 30, 2014 and 2013:
