The applicable LIBOR rates at June 26, 2020 and September 27, 2019 were approxim ately 0.06% and 1.17%. (2)Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2020 Term Loan Facility (defined below)), borrowings under the 2020 Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. The applicable LIBOR rate at June 26, 2020 was approximately 0.67%. (3)Depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2017 Term Loan Facility (defined below)), borrowings under the 2017 Term Loan Facility bear interest at either a eurocurrency rate plus a margin of between 1.0% and 1.5% or a base rate plus a margin of between 0% and 0.5%. The a pplicable LIBOR rate at September 27, 2019 was approximately 2.05%. On February 7, 2014, Jacobs and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.6 billion long-term unsecured, revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of U.S. and international banks and financial institutions. On March 27, 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which amended and restated the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility by, among other things, (a) extending the maturity date of the credit facility to March 27, 2024, (b) increasing the facility amount to $2.25 billion (with an accordion feature that allows a further increase of the facility amount up to $3.25 billion), (c) eliminating the covenants restricting investments, joint ventures and acquisitions by the Company and its subsidiaries and (d) adjusting the financial covenants to eliminate the net worth covenant upon the removal of the same covenant from the Company’s existing Note Purchase Agreement (defined below). We were in compliance with the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 26, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility permits the Company to borrow under two separate tranches in U.S. dollars, certain specified foreign currencies, and any other currency that may be approved in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a financial letter of credit sub facility of $400.0 million, permits performance letters of credit, and provides for a $50.0 million sub facility for swing line loans. Letters of credit are subject to fees based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Company pays a facility fee of between 0.08% and 0.20% per annum depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. On March 25, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan facility (the “2020 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders. Under the 2020 Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $730.0 million and one of the Company's U.K. subsidiaries borrowed an aggregate principal amount of £250.0 million. The proceeds of the term loans were used to repay the Bilateral Term Loan and for general corporate purposes. The 2020 Term Loan Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type that are consistent with those included in the Revolving Credit Facility. During the three month period ended June 26, 2020, the Company entered into interest rate and cross currency derivative contracts to swap a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. See Note 19- Commitments and Contingencies and Derivative Financial Instruments for discussion regarding the Company's derivative instruments. On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (as amended, the “2017 Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and letter of credit issuers. We incurred loans under the 2017 Term Loan Facility on December 15, 2017 in connection with the closing of the CH2M acquisition in order to pay cash consideration for the acquisition, and to pay fees and expenses related to the acquisition and the 2017 Term Loan Facility. The 2017 Term Loan Facility was repaid in full during the first fiscal quarter of 2020. On March 12, 2018, Jacobs entered into a note purchase agreement (as amended, the "Note Purchase Agreement") with respect to the issuance and sale in a private placement transaction o f $500.0 million in the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes in three series (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company's consolidated leverage ratio exceeds a certain amount, the interest on the Senior Notes may increase by 75 basis points. The Senior Notes may be prepaid at any time subject to a make-whole premium. The sale of the Senior Notes closed on May 15, 2018. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of Senior Notes to repay certain existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes. The Note Purchase Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, covenants to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and maximum consolidated leverage ratio and limitations on certain other liens, mergers, dispositions and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under the Note Purchase Agreement at June 26, 2020. We believe the carrying value of the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2020 Term Loan Facility and other debt outstanding approximates fair value based on the interest rates and scheduled maturities applicable to the outstanding borrowings. The fair value of the Senior Notes is estimated to be $528.7 million at June 26, 2020, based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using interest rates available for issuances with sim ilar terms and average maturities. The Company has issue d $2.3 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.63 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 26, 2020. In addition, the Company had issued $257.3 million u nder separate, committed and uncommitted letter-of-credit facilities for total issued letters of credit of $259.5 million a t June 26, 2020.
