In November 2019, through three indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, we entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. The JPMorgan Facility allows for $1.3 billion of maximum borrowings (with amounts borrowed in British pounds and Euros converted to U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating availability based on the greater of the spot rate as of the initial financing under the corresponding mortgage loan and the then-current spot rate) and matures in June 2022, plus two one-year extensions available, which are subject to the approval of JPMorgan and certain other conditions. The JPMorgan Facility enables us to elect to receive advances in U.S. Dollars, British pounds, or Euros. Margin calls may occur any time at specified aggregate margin deficit thresholds. We have agreed to provide a limited guarantee of the obligations of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries under the JPMorgan Facility.

We were in compliance with the covenants under each of our secured debt arrangements at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Senior Secured Term Loan, Net
In May 2019, we entered into a $500.0 million senior secured term loan. The senior secured term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% and was issued at a price of 99.5%. The senior secured term loan matures in May 2026 and contains restrictions relating to liens, asset sales, indebtedness, and investments in non-wholly owned entities.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we repaid $2.5 million of principal related to the senior secured term loan. The outstanding principal balance as of December 31, 2019 was $497.5 million. As of December 31, 2019, the senior secured term loan had a carrying value of $488.0 million net of deferred financing costs of $7.3 million and an unamortized discount of $2.2 million.
Covenants
The senior secured term loan includes the following financial covenants: (i) our ratio of total recourse debt to tangible net worth cannot be greater than 3:1; and (ii) our ratio of total unencumbered assets to total pari-passu indebtedness must be at least 1.25:1.
We were in compliance with the covenants under the senior secured term loan at December 31, 2019.
Interest Rate Swap
In connection with the senior secured term loan, we entered into an interest rate swap to fix LIBOR at 2.12% effectively fixing our all-in coupon on the senior secured term loan at 4.87%.
