_______________ * The debt issuance costs related to our Revolving Credit Facility are classified as a deferred financing asset within other assets. (1)As of September 30, 2020, the $1,425 million Revolving Credit Facility had outstanding borrowings of $140 million, as well as $40 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in February 2023 but is classified on the balance sheet as current due to the revolving nature and terms and conditions of the facility. On November 3, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $40 million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit. (2)Interest rates with respect to revolving loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at September 30, 2020 were based on, at the Company's option, (a) adjusted London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus an additional margin or (b) JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime rate ("ABR") plus an additional margin, in each case subject to adjustment based on the then current senior secured leverage ratio. Based on the previous quarter's senior secured leverage ratio, the LIBOR margin was 2.25% and the ABR margin was 1.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. (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 term loans under the Term Loan B is based on, at the Company’s option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) or (b) ABR plus 1.25% (with an ABR floor of 1.75%). (4)The Term Loan A provides for quarterly amortization payments, based on a percentage of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A, as follows: 0.625% per quarter from June 30, 2018 to March 31, 2020; 1.25% per quarter from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021; 1.875% per quarter from June 30, 2021 to March 31, 2022; and 2.50% per quarter for periods ending on or after June 30, 2022, with the balance of the Term Loan A due at maturity on February 8, 2023. The interest rates with respect to the Term Loan A 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 previous quarter's senior secured leverage ratio, the LIBOR margin was 2.25% and the ABR margin was 1.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Maturities Table As of September 30, 2020, the combined aggregate amount of maturities for long-term borrowings for the remainder of 2020 and each of the next four years is as follows:
Year |  | Amount
Remaining 2020 (a) |  | $ | 152 |
2021 |  | 62 |
2022 |  | 81 |
2023 |  | 982 |
2024 |  | 11 |
_______________ (a)Remaining 2020 includes amortization payments totaling $9 million and $3 million for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively, as well as $140 million of revolver borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility which expires in February 2023 but is classified on the balance sheet as current due to the revolving nature and terms and conditions of the facility. The current portion of long-term debt of $198 million shown on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of four quarters of amortization payments totaling $47 million and $11 million for the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively, and $140 million of revolver borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement The Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 5, 2013, as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) governs the Company's senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”, which includes the “Revolving Credit Facility” and the “Term Loan B”) and the Term Loan A Agreement dated as of October 23, 2015, as amended from time to time (the “Term Loan A Agreement”) governs the senior secured term loan A credit facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”). Senior Secured Credit Facility The Senior Secured Credit Facility includes: (a)the Term Loan B issued in the original aggregate principal amount of $1,080 million with a maturity date of February 2025. The Term Loan B has quarterly amortization payments totaling 1% per annum of the initial aggregate principal amount. The interest rate with respect to term loans under the Term Loan B is based on, at Realogy Group's option, adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) or ABR plus 1.25% (with an ABR floor of 1.75%); and (b)a $1,425 million Revolving Credit Facility with a maturity date of February 2023, which includes a $125 million letter of credit 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 but greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 |  | 2.00% |  | 1.00%
Less than 2.00 to 1.00 |  | 1.75% |  | 0.75%
The obligations under the Senior Secured 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 Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants and requires Realogy Group to maintain (so long as the Revolving Credit Facility is outstanding) a senior secured leverage ratio. On July 24, 2020, Realogy Group entered into amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement (referred to collectively herein as the “Amendments”), pursuant to which Realogy Group is required to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 6.50 to 1.00 commencing with the third quarter of 2020 through and including the second quarter of 2021. Following the second quarter of 2021, the maximum senior secured leverage ratio permitted will then step down to 5.50 to 1.00 for the third quarter of 2021 and thereafter step down by 0.25 on a quarterly basis to 4.75 to 1.00 (which was the applicable level prior to the effectiveness of the Amendments) on and after the second quarter of 2022. The Amendments also tighten certain other covenants during the period commencing on July 24, 2020 until the Company issues its financial results for the third quarter of 2021 and concurrently delivers an officer’s certificate to its lenders showing compliance with the quarterly financial covenant, subject to earlier termination, or the “covenant period.” If Realogy Group’s senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the covenant period will end at the time the Company delivers the compliance certificate to the lenders for such period; however, in either instance, the gradual step down in the senior secured leverage ratio, as described above, will continue to apply. The covenants revised during this covenant period include the reduction or elimination of the amount available for certain types of additional indebtedness, liens, restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases), investments (including acquisitions and joint ventures), and voluntary junior debt repayments. The Company also may elect to end the covenant period at any time, provided the senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 4.75 to 1.00 as of the most recently ended quarter for which financial statements have been delivered. In such event, the leverage ratio will reset to the pre-Amendment level of 4.75 to 1.00 thereafter. As of September 30, 2020, Realogy Group was required to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 6.50 to 1.00. The leverage ratio is tested quarterly regardless of the amount of borrowings outstanding and letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility at the testing date. Total senior secured net debt does not include the securitization obligations, 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, or our unsecured indebtedness, including the Unsecured Notes. At September 30, 2020, Realogy Group was in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio covenant with a senior secured leverage ratio of 2.29 to 1.00. For the calculation of the senior secured leverage ratio for the third quarter of 2020, see Part I., Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Senior Secured Leverage Ratio applicable to our Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility. Term Loan A Facility The Term Loan A of $750 million due February 2023 provides for quarterly amortization based on a percentage of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A, as follows: 0.625% per quarter from June 30, 2018 to March 31, 2020; 1.25% per quarter from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021; 1.875% per quarter from June 30, 2021 to March 31, 2022; and 2.50% per quarter for periods ending on or after June 30, 2022, with the balance of the Term Loan A due at maturity on February 8, 2023. The interest rates with respect to the Term Loan A are based on, at the Company'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 but greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 |  | 2.00% |  | 1.00%
Less than 2.00 to 1.00 |  | 1.75% |  | 0.75%
The Term Loan A Agreement contains covenants that are substantially similar to those in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The Amendment to the Term Loan A Agreement, effective July 24, 2020, contains provisions substantially similar to those contained in the Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Senior Secured Second Lien Notes In June 2020, Realogy Group issued $550 million 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. The 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes mature on June 15, 2025 and interest is payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2020. The 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured second priority basis by Realogy Intermediate and each domestic subsidiary of Realogy Group, other than certain excluded entities, that is a guarantor under its Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility and certain of its outstanding debt securities. The 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes are also guaranteed by Realogy Holdings on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. The 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes are secured by substantially the same collateral as Realogy Group's existing first lien obligations under its Senior Secured Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility on a second priority basis. The indentures governing the 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes contain various covenants that limit the ability of Realogy Intermediate, Realogy Group and Realogy Group’s restricted subsidiaries to take certain actions, which covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants are substantially similar to the covenants in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes due 2027, as described under Unsecured Notes below. Unsecured Notes In June 2020, the Company used the entire net proceeds from the $550 million 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, together with cash on hand, to fund the redemption of all of the outstanding 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021, and to pay related interest, premium, fees, and expenses. The 4.875% Senior Notes and the 9.375% Senior Notes (collectively the "Unsecured Notes") are unsecured senior obligations of Realogy Group that mature on June 1, 2023 and April 1, 2027, respectively. Interest on the Unsecured Notes is payable each year semiannually on June 1 and December 1 for the 4.875% Senior Notes, and on April 1 and October 1 for the 9.375% Senior Notes. 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, Term Loan A Facility and Realogy Group's outstanding debt securities and are guaranteed by Realogy Holdings on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. The indentures governing the Unsecured Notes contain various negative covenants that limit Realogy Group's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions, which covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These covenants include limitations on Realogy Group's and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to (a) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock, (b) pay dividends or make distributions to their stockholders, (c) repurchase or redeem capital stock, (d) make investments or acquisitions, (e) incur restrictions on the ability of certain of their subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments to Realogy Group, (f) enter into transactions with affiliates, (g) create liens, (h) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of their assets, (i) transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries and (j) prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes. The covenants in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes are substantially similar to the covenants in the indentures governing the other Unsecured Notes, with certain exceptions, including several changes relating to Realogy Group’s ability to make restricted payments, and in particular, its ability to repurchase shares and pay dividends. Specifically, (a) the cumulative credit basket for restricted payments (i) was reset to zero and builds from January 1, 2019, (ii) builds at 25% of Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes) when the consolidated leverage ratio (as defined below) is equal to or greater than 4.0 to 1.0 (and 50% of Consolidated Net Income when it is less than 4.0 to 1.0) and, consistent with the indentures governing the other Unsecured Notes, is reduced by 100% of the deficit when Consolidated Net Income is a deficit and (iii) may not be used when the consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 4.0 to 1.0; (b) the $100 million general restricted payment basket may be used only for Restricted Investments (as defined in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes); (c) the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes requires the consolidated leverage ratio to be less than 3.0 to 1.0 to use the unlimited general restricted payment basket (which payments will reduce the cumulative credit basket, but not below zero); and (d) the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes contains a new restricted payment basket that may be used for up to $45 million of dividends per calendar year. The consolidated leverage ratio is measured by dividing Realogy Group's total net debt by the trailing four quarters EBITDA. EBITDA, as defined in the indenture governing the 9.375% Senior Notes, is substantially similar to EBITDA calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, as those terms are defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement; however, under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Term Loan A Agreement (but not the indentures), the Company should include net after-tax gains or losses attributable to discontinued operations (pending divestiture) from the definition of consolidated net income solely for purposes of calculating compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio. Net debt under the indenture is Realogy Group's total indebtedness less (i) its cash and cash equivalents in excess of restricted cash and (ii) a $200 million seasonality adjustment permitted when measuring the ratio on a date during the period of March 1 to May 31. Gain/Loss on the Early Extinguishment of Debt During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $8 million as a result of the issuance of $550 million of 7.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025 and the redemption of $550 million of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2021 in June 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a gain on the early extinguishment of debt of $5 million which consisted of a $10 million gain as a result of the repurchase of $93 million of its 4.875% Senior Notes during the third quarter of 2019, partially offset by a $5 million loss a s a result of the refinancing transactions in the first quarter of 2019.
