As more fully described within Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is based on interest rates that we believe are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2 input).

(a)
Long-term debt includes current portions of long-term debt and current portions of capital lease obligations of $6.2 million and $7.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders referred to therein, as lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, General Electric Capital Corporation, as syndication agent, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and GE Capital Markets, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, providing the Company with a $225.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) comprised of a five-year fully funded term loan of $75.0 million and a five-year $150.0 million revolving credit facility under which borrowings may be made from time to time during the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Company used the proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility to (i) repay outstanding balances under its prior debt agreements, (ii) finance the ongoing general corporate needs of the Company and its subsidiaries, (iii) pay fees and expenses associated with repayment of amounts due under its prior debt agreements, including the payment of approximately $4.2 million in breakage fees and premiums and (iv) pay fees and expenses associated with the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility is a five-year senior secured credit facility secured by a first priority security interest in all now or hereafter acquired domestic property and assets and the stock or other equity interests in each of the domestic subsidiaries and certain of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exclusions. Beginning on June 30, 2013, quarterly installment payments are required to be made against the $75.0 million term loan based on an amortization schedule that required 7.5% of the original term loan to be repaid in the first year, 10.0% of the original term loan to be repaid in each of the second and third years, 12.5% of the original term loan to be repaid in each of the fourth and fifth years, with the remaining balance to be repaid on the maturity date of March 13, 2018. The Company is allowed to prepay the term loan in whole or in part prior to maturity without premium or penalty. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company made a voluntary term loan prepayment of $15.0 million. The prepayments reduce the quarterly debt installment payments and the amount due on maturity on a pro-rata basis.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for loans and letters of credit in an amount up to an aggregate availability under the revolving credit facility of $150.0 million, with a sub-limit of $50.0 million for letters of credit. Borrowings under the entire Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or a LIBOR rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 2.00% for base rate borrowings and 2.00% to 3.00% for LIBOR borrowings. The Company must also pay a commitment fee to the lenders equal to a range of 0.25% to 0.45% per annum on the unused portion of the $150.0 million revolving credit facility along with other standard fees. Letter of credit fees are payable on outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable LIBOR margin plus other customary fees. The Company is allowed to prepay in whole or in part advances under the revolving credit facility portion without penalty or premium other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with financial covenants related to the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio. The financial covenants are measured at each fiscal quarter-end. Restricted payments, including dividends, are permitted only if the pro-forma leverage ratio after giving effect to such payment is less than 3.25x, pro-forma compliance after giving effect to such payment is maintained for all other financial covenants and there are no existing defaults under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of, and throughout the year ended, December 31, 2014.
In the first quarter of 2013, upon execution of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company recorded $8.7 million of costs related to the termination of its prior debt agreements. The costs included a $4.2 million early termination penalty payment and a $4.5 million write-off of the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the prior debt agreements.
The Company incurred $1.9 million of debt issuance costs associated with the execution of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Financing costs incurred in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the new debt. Approximately $0.1 million of deferred financing fees were written off in connection with the voluntary debt prepayment in the fourth quarter of 2014.
In the second quarter of 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The changes resulting from the amendment were primarily administrative in nature, including modifications to facilitate the repurchase of the Company’s common stock. No fees were incurred in connection with executing the amendment, nor were there any changes to financial covenant requirements.
As of December 31, 2014, there was no cash drawn and $23.9 million of undrawn letters of credit under the $150.0 million revolving credit facility portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, with $126.1 million of net availability for borrowings. As of December 31, 2014, no amounts were drawn against the Company’s non-U.S. lines of credit which provide for borrowings up to $12.3 million.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, gross borrowings under the Company’s domestic revolving credit facility were $6.5 million, $123.7 million and $116.7 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, gross payments under the Company’s domestic revolving credit facility were $26.5 million, $106.2 million and $290.0 million, respectively.
Aggregate maturities of total borrowings amount to approximately $6.2 million in 2015, $7.3 million in 2016, $7.4 million in 2017 and $29.3 million in 2018. The weighted average interest rate on long-term borrowings was 2.2% at December 31, 2014.
The Company paid interest of $3.0 million in 2014, $9.4 million in 2013 and $20.6 million in 2012.
Interest Rate Swap
On March 13, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $75.0 million, as a means of fixing the floating interest rate component on $75.0 million of its variable-rate debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge, with an original termination date of March 13, 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company terminated the Swap and received $0.2 million in connection with its settlement. The gain of $0.2 million has been included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified into earnings over the remaining term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
