(1)Collectively, the “Credit Agreement”. The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a term loan (the “Term Loan A”). The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 3, 2023. All of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021 were denominated in United States dollars. In addition, we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $3,219. The remaining amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021 was $1,686,781 (which amount represents the maximum availability as of such date). The average interest rate in effect under the Credit Agreement was 1.9% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
(2)Collectively, the “Parent Notes”.
(3)The full amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is classified within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the Credit Agreement and our other long-term debt, including the direct obligors of each of our debt instruments as well as information regarding the fair value of our debt instruments (including the levels of the fair value hierarchy used to determine the fair value of our debt instruments). The levels of the fair value hierarchy used to determine the fair value of our debt as of March 31, 2021 are consistent with the levels of the fair value hierarchy used to determine the fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2020 (which are disclosed in our Annual Report).
CASH POOLING
We currently utilize two separate cash pooling arrangements, one of which we utilize to manage global liquidity requirements for our qualified REIT subsidiaries (the “QRS Cash Pool”) and the other for our taxable REIT subsidiaries (the “TRS Cash Pool”). The approximate amount of the net cash position for the QRS Cash Pool and the TRS Cash Pool and the approximate amount of the gross position and outstanding debit balances for each of these pools as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

LETTERS OF CREDIT
As of March 31, 2021, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $38,160, of which $3,219 reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as described above). The letters of credit expire at various dates between June 2021 and March 2025.
DEBT COVENANTS
The Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio, a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio on a quarterly basis and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted), as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.
The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations and the bond indentures use EBITDA-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The bond indenture EBITDA-based calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” as defined in the bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations, which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. We are in compliance with our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
