Proceeds from the sale of the Series C Senior Notes and Series D Senior Notes were used to pay down our revolving credit facility. On November 1, 2018, we entered into a five-year, $375 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent.

This facility replaced our $295 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Cash borrowings are charged interest based upon an index selected by the Company, plus a margin that is determined based upon the index selected and upon the financial performance of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. We are charged a facility fee on the entire amount of the lending commitment, at a per annum rate ranging from 12.5 to 30.0 basis points, also determined based upon our performance. The facility fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
