The scheduled maturities of all borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2023 are $0.7 million in 2024, $0.4 million in 2025, $0.2 million in 2026, none in 2027 and 2028, and $450.0 million in 2029.
ABL Agreement. Our ABL Agreement, as amended, (“ABL”) is provided by a consortium of banking institutions and consists of a revolving credit facility for up to $175.0 million in borrowings that expires on July 29, 2025. Included in the ABL is the ability to borrow up to $25.0 million of swing line loans and up to $60.0 million of letters of credit. The ABL permits us to increase the size of the credit facility by an additional $150.0 million in certain circumstances subject to adequate borrowing base availability.
On April 5, 2023, we amended the ABL. This amendment replaced LIBOR-based loans with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based loans plus an adjustment of 10 basis points, among other immaterial modifications. In December 2023, we obtained a waiver under our ABL to provide for additional time associated with certain deliverables which were delayed as a result of the cybersecurity incident. The maximum aggregate amount of borrowings and other credit extensions under the ABL is limited to $50.0 million at any time outstanding until all of the delayed deliveries required under the ABL are made.
Borrowings under the ABL bear interest at a floating rate equal to SOFR plus an adjustment of 10 basis points and an applicable margin range of 200 to 225 basis points, or a base rate, as defined in the ABL, plus an applicable margin range of 100 to 125 basis points. At September 30, 2023, the applicable margin was 200 basis points for SOFR-based loans, and 100 basis points for base rate loans.
The ABL is subject to mandatory prepayments if total outstanding borrowings under the ABL are greater than the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit facility or if we dispose of overdue accounts receivable in certain circumstances. The borrowing base under the ABL is equal to the sum of (a) 85% of the value of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less certain reserves. Prepayments can be made at any time without penalty.
Substantially all of our United States subsidiaries are borrowers under the ABL and are jointly and severally liable for outstanding borrowings. Our obligations under the ABL are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on all of our United States inventory, accounts receivable, certain cash balances and other supporting assets.
The ABL includes a commitment fee for any unused borrowing capacity of 37.5 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. Excess availability based on September 30, 2023 data was $162.4 million, as reduced by $12.4 million of outstanding letters of credit and $0.2 million of accrued fees and expenses.
4.0% Senior Unsecured Notes. On May 28, 2021, we privately issued $450.0 million of 4.0% Senior Notes, which mature on June 15, 2029 and bear interest at 4.0%, paid semi-annually in June and December. We capitalized $5.5 million of financing costs, which are being amortized over the term of the 4.0% Senior Notes using the effective interest method. Proceeds from the 4.0% Senior Notes, along with cash on hand were used to redeem our previously existing 5.5% Senior Notes. Substantially all of our United States subsidiaries guarantee the 4.0% Senior Notes, which are subordinate to borrowings under our ABL. Based on quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 measurement, the outstanding 4.0% Senior Notes had a fair value of $393.7 million as of September 30, 2023.
An indenture securing the 4.0% Senior Notes (“Indenture”) contains customary covenants and events of default, including covenants that limit our ability to incur certain debt and liens. There are no financial maintenance covenants associated with the Indenture. We believe we were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2023.

We may redeem some or all of the 4.0% Senior Notes at any time prior to June 15, 2024 at certain “make-whole” redemption prices and on or after June 15, 2024, at specified redemption prices. Additionally, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 4.0% Senior Notes at any time prior to June 15, 2024 with the net proceeds of specified equity offerings at specified redemption prices as set forth in the Indenture. Upon a change of control as defined, we would be required to offer to purchase the 4.0% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount.

5.5% Senior Unsecured Notes. On June 12, 2018, we privately issued $450.0 million of 5.5% Senior Notes, which were set to mature in June 2026 and bore interest at 5.5%, paid semi-annually. We called the 5.5% Senior Notes effective June 17, 2021 and redeemed the 5.5% Senior Notes with the proceeds from the 4.0% Senior Notes and cash on hand. As a result, we incurred $16.7 million in loss on early extinguishment of debt, comprised of a $12.4 million call premium and a $4.3 million write-off of the remaining deferred financing costs.
