(1)	For the Company's senior secured credit facilities and senior notes, fair value estimates are based upon bid and ask quotes, typically a level 2 input. For the acquisition obligations and other notes payable, the carrying values presented here approximate their estimated fair values, based on estimates of their present values using level 2 interest rate inputs.

(2)

The Company's interest rate on its Term Loan A and revolving line of credit is subject to adjustment depending upon the Company's leverage ratio under the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities. Based on the Company's leverage ratio as of June 30, 2020, the Company’s interest rate effective in the third quarter of 2020 will be LIBOR plus 1.75% for its Term Loan A and revolving line of credit.


(3)	On February 13, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities to refinance the senior secured Term Loan B with a $2,743,125 senior secured Term Loan B-1.


(4)	As described below, the Company redeemed in full all $1,750,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5 ⅛% Senior Notes on July 15, 2020. These senior notes have therefore been classified in the current portion of long-term debt on the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.


(5)	The interest rate presented for acquisition obligations and other notes payable is their weighted average interest rate based on the current interest rates in effect and assuming no changes to the LIBOR based interest rates.


(6)	Financing lease obligations are measured at their approximate present values at inception. The interest rate presented is the weighted average discount rate embedded in financing leases outstanding.

Scheduled maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2020 were as follows:



2020 (remainder of the year)	$	1,832,231
2021	$	150,069
2022	$	171,395
2023	$	229,132
2024	$	1,421,882
2025	$	1,562,704
Thereafter	$	4,518,901

On February 13, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the Repricing Amendment) to refinance its senior secured Term Loan B with a senior secured Term Loan B-1 that bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.75% and matures on August 12, 2026. The Repricing Amendment did not change the interest rate on the Term Loan A or the revolving line of credit. No additional debt was incurred, nor any additional proceeds received, by the Company in connection

with the Repricing Amendment. The majority of the Company's Term Loan B debt was considered modified. As a result, the Company recognized debt refinancing charges of $2,948 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, comprised partially of fees incurred on this transaction and partially of deferred financing costs written off for the portion of debt considered extinguished and reborrowed. For the portion of the Term Loan B debt that was considered extinguished and reborrowed in this refinancing, the Company recognized $68,842 in constructive financing cash outflows and financing cash inflows on the statement of cash flows, even though no funds were actually paid or received. Another $55,895 of the debt considered extinguished in this refinancing represented a non-cash financing activity.

During the first six months of 2020, the Company made regularly scheduled mandatory principal payments under its senior secured credit facilities totaling $21,875 on Term Loan A and $13,716 on Term Loan B-1.

On June 9, 2020, the Company issued $1,750,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior notes due 2030 (the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes) in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes pay interest on June 1 and December 1 of each year beginning December 1, 2020. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our senior secured credit facilities. The Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2023 at 104.625% of the aggregate principal amount from the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2025 at a make whole redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and on and after such date at certain redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes contain restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its guarantors to, among other things, create certain liens, enter into certain sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The 4 ⅝% Senior Notes and related subsidiary guarantees do not have any registration or similar rights and are not expected to be registered for exchange on public markets. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had incurred $20,293 in fees, discounts and other professional expenses associated with this transaction that were capitalized and will amortize over the term of the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes.

On July 15, 2020, the Company used the net proceeds from the 4 ⅝% Senior Notes offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full all $1,750,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 5 ⅛% Senior Notes plus accrued interest and redemption premium. In connection with this redemption, the Company incurred debt redemption premium charges of $29,890 and deferred financing cost write-offs of $9,764 which will be recognized in the third quarter of 2020 along with related advisory costs incurred.

The Company's 2015 interest rate cap agreements expired on June 30, 2020 and the Company's 2019 cap agreements became effective on June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's 2019 interest rate cap agreements have the economic effect of capping the Company's maximum exposure to LIBOR variable interest rate changes on equivalent amounts of the Company's floating rate debt, including all of the Term Loan B-1 and a portion of the Term Loan A. The remaining $946,597 outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan A is subject to LIBOR-based interest rate volatility. These cap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and, as a result, changes in the fair values of the cap agreements are reported in other comprehensive income. The original premiums paid for the caps are amortized to debt expense on a straight-line basis over the term of each cap agreement starting from its effective date. These cap agreements do not contain credit-risk contingent features.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate cap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which are classified in "Other long-term assets" on its consolidated balance sheet:

The Company has approximately $57,452 of outstanding letters of credit under a separate bilateral secured letters of credit facility.
