Approximately 70% and 75% of our total debt had a fixed interest rate at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The bank credit agreement provides us with flexibility for working capital, if needed, and is guaranteed by a majority of our domestic subsidiaries. The subsidiary guaranty is a guaranty of payment of the outstanding amount of the total lending commitment, including letters of credit. The bank credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, and certain dividend and share repurchase restrictions. As of March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. We pay a quarterly fee on the unused commitment, which was 0.25% at March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, we have $781.7 million in borrowing capacity under the Bank Credit Facility.

In March 2018, we drew $10.0 million on our Bank Credit Facility to make required payments on our Term Loan due December 2022. In January 2017, we drew $25.0 million and in March 2017 we drew $10.0 million on our Bank Credit Facility due March 2021 to make required payments on our Term Loan due March 2021 and for general corporate purposes. Debt Extinguishments and Reductions During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we made aggregate debt payments of $268.1 million for scheduled and early extinguishment payments including: •$250 million in aggregate principal of our 7.625% Senior Notes due October 2018; •$9.6 million in call premium for redemption of the 7.625% Senior Notes due October 2018; •$8.4 million in aggregate principal of our Term Loan due December 2022; and •$0.1 million in other debt. Certain of the above transactions resulted in the recognition of a loss of $10.1 million recorded in Losses on early extinguishment of debt in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months end March 31, 2017, we made aggregate principal payments of $8.8 million for scheduled payments toward our previous Term Loan due March 2021.
