In October 2019, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (Wells Fargo) to reduce the program amount from $70 million to $65 million. Under the amended program, Wells Fargo has extended a secured loan (Secured Loan) of up to $65 million to the Company secured by Wells Fargo’s undivided interests in certain of the Company’s trade accounts receivables. The $65 million facility was renewed in October 2020. The interest rate on the Secured Loan is LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Company has the intent and ability either to repay the Secured Loan with available funds from the Company’s existing long-term revolving credit facility, or to extend its accounts receivable program with Wells Fargo when it matures. Accordingly, the Secured Loan has been classified as long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and is included with the Revolving Credit Facilities above. As of December 31, 2020, the amount was fully drawn. In May 2017, the Company executed an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks to, among other things, (a) increase Sensient’s term loan facility by $30 million (from $115 million to $145 million), (b) extend the maturity of Sensient’s $350 million multi-currency revolving credit facility from November 2020 to May 2022, and (c) modify certain other provisions of the credit agreement as set forth therein. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s term loan borrowings total $8.4 million, with repayments completing in 2021. Borrowings under both the revolving credit and term loan facilities bear interest at a variable rate, based upon the applicable reference rate and including a margin percentage dependent upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as described below. The borrowings under the term loan had an average interest rate of 2.20% and 3.83% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The borrowings under the revolving credit facility, excluding borrowings on the accounts receivable securitization program, had an average interest rate of 1.35% and 1.44% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The aggregate amounts of contractual maturities on long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2020, are as follows:

The Company had $329.0 million available under the revolving credit facility and $45.8 million available under other lines of credit from several banks at December 31, 2020. Substantially all of the senior financing obligations contain restrictions concerning interest coverage, borrowings, and investments. The Company is in compliance with all of these restrictions at December 31, 2020. The following table summarizes the Company’s most restrictive loan covenants calculated in accordance with the applicable agreements as of December 31, 2020:
