We invest in liquid, high quality debt securities. Our investments in debt securities are subject to interest rate risk. To minimize the exposure due to an adverse shift in interest rates, we invest in securities with maturities of two years or less and maintain a weighted average maturity of one year or less. As December 31, 2015 and 2014, all of our investments had maturities of one year or less. Gross unrealized gains and losses were not significant at either December 31, 2015 or 2014. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we sold available-for-sale securities totaling $42.5 million, $21.7 million, and $2.9 million, respectively, and realized gains and losses were not significant in any of those periods. Restricted cash of $25.0 million was required to be maintained in a separate account until July 1, 2015 under the terms of our 12% senior secured notes due July 2017. This restriction expired on July 1, 2015 and the restricted funds were returned to us. Under the terms of our 7.75% senior secured notes due October 2020, we are required to maintain a minimum cash and investments in marketable securities balance of $60.0 million during the term of the notes. Our portfolio of cash and investments in marketable securities includes (in thousands):

Level 1 — | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — | Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
All of our investments are categorized as Level 1 or Level 2, as explained in the table above. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had letter of credit arrangements in favor of a landlord and certain vendors totaling $2.4 million. These letters of credit are secured by investments of similar amounts.
