ABL Agreement. Our asset based lending agreement (“ABL Agreement”) consists of a revolving credit facility for up to $225 million of revolving credit borrowings, swing line loans and letters of credit. The ABL Agreement also permits us to increase the size of the credit facility by an additional $150 million in certain circumstances subject to adequate borrowing base availability. We may borrow up to $25 million through swing line loans and may have up to $60 million of letters of credit outstanding.
Borrowings under the ABL Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 125 to 150 basis points, or a base rate, as defined in the ABL Agreement, plus a margin ranging from 25 to 50 basis points. At September 30, 2017 the applicable rate was LIBOR plus 125 basis points.
The ABL Agreement terminates on July 13, 2021. We pay a commitment fee for any unused borrowing capacity under the ABL Agreement of 25 basis points per annum. Borrowings are not subject to any financial maintenance covenants unless excess availability is less than the greater of $17.5 million and 10% of the Loan Cap as defined in the ABL Agreement. Excess availability based on September 30, 2017 data, as reduced by outstanding letters of credit, swap contract liabilities and accrued fees and expenses of $23.6 million, was approximately $113 million.
Term Loan. On November 25, 2014, we entered into a $500.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”). We capitalized $8.5 million of financing costs, which are being amortized over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest rate method. The proceeds from the Term Loan, along with other cash, were used to prepay our 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) and 8.75% Senior Unsecured Notes (“Senior Unsecured Notes”) and to satisfy and discharge our obligations under the respective indentures. We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $31.3 million, which consisted of $25.2 million of tender and call premiums, $4.4 million of deferred financing costs and $1.7 million of unamortized discount written off.
The Term Loan accrues interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus 250 basis points. At September 30, 2017, the weighted-average effective interest rate, including amortization of deferred finance costs and original issue discount and the effect of interest rate swaps, was 4.56%. We may voluntarily repay amounts borrowed under the Term Loan at any time. The principal amount of the Term Loan is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $1.225 million, with any remaining principal due on November 25, 2021. The Term Loan is guaranteed by substantially all of our U.S. subsidiaries and is secured by essentially all of our assets, although the ABL Agreement has a senior claim on certain collateral securing borrowings thereunder. The Term Loan is reported net of unamortized discount of $1.5 million. Based on quoted market prices, the outstanding Term Loan had a fair value of $490.9 million at September 30, 2017.
The Term Loan contains affirmative and negative operating covenants applicable to us and our restricted subsidiaries. We believe we were compliant with these covenants at September 30, 2017 and expect to remain in compliance through September 30, 2018.
The scheduled maturities of all borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2017 for each of the following years are $5.6 million for 2018, $5.4 million for 2019, $5.3 million for 2020, $5.0 million for 2021 and $466.7 million for 2022.
