(1)
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $815 million of borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility leaving $815 million of available capacity. On May 3, 2016, the Company had $400 million outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and no outstanding letters of credit on such facility, leaving $415 million of available capacity. The increase in outstanding borrowings compared to March 31, 2016 was a result of the repayment of the 3.375% Senior Notes at maturity on May 2, 2016.
(2)
Interest rates with respect to revolving loans under the Term Loan A Facility at March 31, 2016 were based on, at the Company's option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus an additional margin or (b) ABR plus an additional margin, in each case subject to adjustment based on the then current senior secured leverage ratio. Based on the December 31, 2015 senior secured leverage ratio, the LIBOR margin was 2.25% and the ABR margin was 1.25%.
(3)
The Term Loan B provides for quarterly amortization payments totaling 1% per annum of the original principal amount. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility is based on, at the Company’s option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) or (b) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate ("ABR") plus 2.00% (with an ABR floor of 1.75%).
(4)
The Term Loan A Facility provides for quarterly amortization payments, which commenced March 31, 2016, totaling per annum 5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10.0% and 12.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The interest rates with respect to term loans under the new Term Loan A Facility are based on, at the Company's option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus an additional margin or (b) ABR plus an additional margin, in each case subject to adjustment based on the then current senior secured leverage ratio. Based on the December 31, 2015 senior secured leverage ratio, the LIBOR margin was 2.25% and the ABR margin was 1.25%.
(5)
Available capacity is subject to maintaining sufficient relocation related assets to collateralize these securitization obligations.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $325 million of borrowing capacity under the Apple Ridge Funding LLC securitization program leaving $116 million of available capacity.

(8)
Not included in this table, the Company had $133 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2016, of which $53 million was under the synthetic letter of credit facility with a rate of 4.25% and $80 million was under the unsecured letter of credit facility with a rate of 2.98%.

The remaining 2016 portion of long term debt consists of $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes due in May 2016 and remaining 2016 quarterly amortization payments totaling $17 million and $14 million for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively. The current portion of long term debt of $541 million shown on the balance sheet consists of $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes due in May 2016 and four quarters of amortization payments totaling $22 million and $19 million for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In October 2015, Realogy Group entered into a second amendment to the senior secured credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The second amendment provides for a five-year, $815 million revolving credit facility that replaces the $475 million revolving credit facility under the senior secured credit agreement and includes a $125 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Term Loan B facility and the synthetic letter of credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were not affected by the second amendment.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for:
(a) 
a Term Loan B Facility initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $1,905 million with a maturity date of March 5, 2020. The Term Loan B Facility has quarterly amortization payments totaling 1% per annum of the initial aggregate principal amount. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility is based on, at Realogy Group's option, adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) or ABR plus 2.00% (with an ABR floor of 1.75%); and
(b)
an $815 million Revolving Credit Facility with a maturity date of October 23, 2020, which includes (i) a $125 million letter of credit subfacility and (ii) a swingline loan subfacility. The interest rate with respect to revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on, at Realogy Group's option, adjusted LIBOR or ABR plus an additional margin subject to the following adjustments based on the Company’s then current senior secured leverage ratio:
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
Applicable LIBOR Margin
Applicable ABR Margin
Greater than 3.50 to 1.00
2.50%
1.50%
Less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00

2.25%
1.25%
Less than 2.50 to 1.00
2.00%
1.00%
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a synthetic letter of credit facility which matures on October 10, 2016. The synthetic letter of credit facility may be utilized for general corporate purposes, including the support of Realogy Group’s obligations with respect to Cendant contingent and other liabilities assumed under the Separation and Distribution Agreement. The capacity of the synthetic letter of credit facility is reduced by 1% per annum. As of March 31, 2016, the capacity under the synthetic letter of credit facility was $54 million and the facility was being utilized for a $53 million letter of credit with Cendant for potential contingent obligations.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement permits the Company to obtain up to $500 million of additional credit facilities from lenders reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent and us, without the consent of the existing lenders under the new senior secured credit facility, plus an unlimited amount if Realogy Group's senior secured leverage ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis. Subject to certain restrictions, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also permits us to issue senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu of any incremental facility.
The obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured to the extent legally permissible by substantially all of the assets of Realogy Group, Realogy Intermediate and all of their domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries.
Realogy Group’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants and requires Realogy Group to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio, not to exceed 4.75 to 1.00, and pursuant to the second amendment discussed above, the leverage ratio is tested quarterly, commencing with the period ended September 30, 2015, regardless of the amount of borrowings outstanding and letters of credit issued under the revolver at the testing date. In this report, the Company refers to the term "Adjusted EBITDA" to mean EBITDA as so defined for purposes of determining compliance with the senior secured leverage covenant. The senior secured leverage ratio measured at any applicable quarter end is Realogy Group's total senior secured net debt divided by the trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA. Total senior secured net debt does not include the unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes as well as the securitization obligations. At March 31, 2016, Realogy Group’s senior secured leverage ratio was 2.43 to 1.00.
Term Loan A Facility
In October 2015, Realogy Group entered into the Term Loan A senior secured credit agreement. The Term Loan A Agreement provides for a five-year, $435 million aggregate principal facility issued at par with a maturity date of October 23, 2020 (the “Term Loan A Facility”) and has terms substantially similar to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Term Loan A Facility provides for quarterly amortization payments, commencing March 31, 2016, totaling the amount per annum equal to the following percentages of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility: 5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10.0% and 12.5% for amortizations payable in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, with the balance payable upon the final maturity date. The interest rates with respect to term loans under the Term Loan A Facility are based on, at our option, adjusted LIBOR or ABR plus an additional margin subject to the following adjustments based on the Company’s then current senior secured leverage ratio:
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio
Applicable LIBOR Margin
Applicable ABR Margin
Greater than 3.50 to 1.00
2.50%
1.50%
Less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00

2.25%
1.25%
Less than 2.50 to 1.00
2.00%
1.00%

Consistent with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Term Loan A Facility permits the Company to obtain up to $500 million of additional credit facilities from lenders reasonably satisfactory to the administrative agent and the company, without the consent of the existing lenders under the Term Loan A Facility, plus an unlimited amount if the Company's senior secured leverage ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis. Subject to certain restrictions, the Term Loan A Facility also permits us to issue senior secured or unsecured notes in lieu of any incremental facility.
Unsecured Notes
The 3.375% Senior Notes, 4.50% Senior Notes and 5.25% Senior Notes (collectively the "Unsecured Notes") are unsecured senior obligations of Realogy Group that mature on May 1, 2016, April 15, 2019 and December 1, 2021, respectively. Interest on the Unsecured Notes is payable each year semiannually on May 1 and November 1 for the 3.375% Senior Notes, April 15 and October 15 for the 4.50% Senior Notes and June 1 and December 1 for the 5.25% Senior Notes.
In March 2016, the Company issued 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021 with an aggregate principal amount of $250 million (the "Additional 5.25% Senior Notes") under the same indenture as the $300 million aggregate principal amount of Realogy Group’s 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021 issued on November 21, 2014 (the "Existing 5.25% Senior Notes"). The Additional 5.25% Senior Notes mature on December 1, 2021 and interest on the notes is due on June 1 and December 1 of each year with the first interest payment date of June 1, 2016. The Additional 5.25% Senior Notes have identical terms, other than the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment date, and constitute part of the same series as the Existing 5.25% Senior Notes.
The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Additional 5.25% Senior Notes of approximately $248 million to reduce outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for working capital purposes.
In May 2016, the Company used $400 million of revolver borrowings and a portion of the cash on hand to retire the $500 million of 3.375% Senior Notes at maturity.
The Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each domestic subsidiary of Realogy Group that is a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Realogy Group's outstanding debt securities and are guaranteed by Realogy Holdings on an unsecured senior subordinated basis.
Other Debt Facilities
The Company has an Unsecured Letter of Credit Facility to provide for the issuance of letters of credit required for general corporate purposes by the Company. The capacity of the facility is $88 million, with $81 million of capacity expiring in June 2017 and the remaining $7 million of capacity expiring in September 2018. The fixed pricing to the Company is based on a spread above the credit default swap rate for senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company over the applicable letter of credit period. Realogy Group's obligations under the Unsecured Letter of Credit Facility are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each domestic subsidiary of Realogy Group that is a guarantor under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and Realogy Group's outstanding debt securities. As of March 31, 2016, $80 million of the Facility is being utilized.
Securitization Obligations
Realogy Group has secured obligations through Apple Ridge Funding LLC under a securitization program. The program expires in June 2016 and has a capacity of $325 million. At March 31, 2016, Realogy Group has $209 million of outstanding borrowings under the facility. In March 2016 Realogy Group gave notice of intent to renew and is currently engaged in the renewal process.
Realogy Group, through a special purpose entity known as Cartus Financing Limited, has agreements providing for a £20 million revolving loan facility and a £5 million working capital facility, both of which expire in August 2016. There are $11 million of outstanding borrowings on the facilities at March 31, 2016. These Cartus Financing Limited facilities are secured by the relocation assets of a U.K. government contract in this special purpose entity and are therefore classified as permitted securitization financings as defined in Realogy Group’s Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes.
The Apple Ridge entities and the Cartus Financing Limited entity are consolidated special purpose entities that are utilized to securitize relocation receivables and related assets. These assets are generated from advancing funds on behalf of clients of Realogy Group’s relocation business in order to facilitate the relocation of their employees. Assets of these special purpose entities are not available to pay Realogy Group’s general obligations. Under the Apple Ridge program, provided no termination or amortization event has occurred, any new receivables generated under the designated relocation management agreements are sold into the securitization program and as new eligible relocation management agreements are entered into, the new agreements are designated to the program. The Apple Ridge program has restrictive covenants and trigger events, including performance triggers linked to the age and quality of the underlying assets, foreign obligor limits, multicurrency limits, financial reporting requirements, restrictions on mergers and change of control, any uncured breach of Realogy Group’s senior secured leverage ratio under Realogy Group’s Senior Secured Credit Facility, and cross-defaults to Realogy Group’s material indebtedness. The occurrence of a trigger event under the Apple Ridge securitization facility could restrict our ability to access new or existing funding under this facility or result in termination of the facility, either of which would adversely affect the operation of our relocation business.
Certain of the funds that Realogy Group receives from relocation receivables and related assets must be utilized to repay securitization obligations. These obligations were collateralized by $290 million and $281 million of underlying relocation receivables and other related relocation assets at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Substantially all relocation related assets are realized in less than twelve months from the transaction date. Accordingly, all of Realogy Group’s securitization obligations are classified as current in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Interest incurred in connection with borrowings under these facilities amounted to $1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. This interest is recorded within net revenues in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as related borrowings are utilized to fund Realogy Group's relocation business where interest is generally earned on such assets. These securitization obligations represent floating rate debt for which the average weighted interest rate was 2.6% and 2.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
