On November 8, 2016, we entered into the ABL and Term Loan agreements with JPMorgan Chase. The Credit Facility replaced the prior Amended Credit Agreement which was terminated that same day. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we have a $125.0 million ABL credit facility and a $300.0 million Term Loan. Under the ABL agreement, we have a five year credit facility available on a revolving basis, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of 85% of eligible accounts receivable and generally 75% of eligible inventory. The line is available for issuance of letters of credit to a specified limit of $10.0 million. Under the ABL agreement, to determine interest due, we can elect to base the rate on the alternate base rate (prime rate, NYFRB rate or adjusted LIBOR for one-month period) plus 0.5% to 1.0%, depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding, or an adjusted LIBOR rate for a period of one, two, three or six months as selected by us plus 1.50% to 2.0%, depending on the amount of borrowings outstanding. The interest rate we paid as of November 26, 2016 was 2.4%. We also pay a commitment fee equal to 0.375% if the average utilized portion is less than or equal to 50%, or 0.25% if the utilized portion is greater than 50%. Under the Term Loan agreement, we have a seven year credit facility repayable in quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 1.0% of the original amount of the Term Loan on March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017; 1.25% each calendar quarter end thereafter; with the balance payable at the end of seven years on November 8, 2023. There are mandatory prepayments for proceeds of new debt, sale of significant assets or subsidiaries and annually for 50% of excess cash flow beginning with Fiscal 2017 (the 50% is subject to step-downs to 25% and 0% if the total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Term Loan agreement, is less than 2.5 to 1.00 and 2.0 to 1.00, respectively, as of the last day of the period). Incremental term loans of up to $125.0 million are available if certain financial ratios and other conditions are met. Under the Term Loan agreement, to determine interest due, we can elect to base the rate on the alternate base rate (prime rate, NYFRB rate or adjusted LIBOR for one-month period with a floor of 2%) plus 3.50% or an adjusted LIBOR rate for the interest period selected plus 4.50%. The interest rate as of November 26, 2016 was 5.5%. Under the Credit Facility, we are required to enter into a hedging arrangement to effectively fix the LIBOR component of interest cost at the prevailing swap rate with a notional amount of at least 50% of the projected outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. The hedging arrangement needs to be maintained until the later of 3 years from closing date or the date the leverage ratio is less than 2.0 to 1.0. In accordance with this requirement, we plan to enter into interest swap contracts in January 2017. The Term Loan includes financial covenants requiring that the fixed charge coverage ratio at the end of any four fiscal quarters be not less than 1.0 to 1.0, defined as consolidated EBITDA (as defined) less capital expenditures (as defined), over fixed charges, generally defined as cash interest, cash income taxes, principal payments on loans, and dividends, and that the senior secured net leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter be not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 prior to the fiscal quarter ending November 24, 2018 and 3.25 to 1.0 for each quarter thereafter, defined generally as the ratio of total secured indebtedness minus cash and permitted investments, to consolidated EBITDA (as defined). The ABL generally contain similar covenants, and include restrictions on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, investments, guarantees, acquisitions, sales of assets, and transactions with affiliates. Dividends, redemptions and other payments on equity are generally limited to $20.0 million in any fiscal year; higher amounts may be paid if the total net leverage ratio does not exceed 3.0 to 1.0. Customary events of default (with customary grace periods, notice and cure periods and thresholds) include payment default, breach of representation in any material respect, breach of covenants, default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy, ERISA violations, material judgments, change in control and termination of invalidity of guaranty or security documents. As of November 26, 2016, we are in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Facility agreements. The ABL and Term Loan are guaranteed by Winnebago Industries, Inc. and all material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by a security interest in all property of ours, except minor excluded assets. As of November 26, 2016, $10.8 million of debt issuance costs, net of amortization of $0.1 million, were recorded as a direct deduction from long-term debt, $1.4 million from the current portion and $9.3 million from the long-term portion. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.1 million related to the prior Amended Credit Agreement were expensed in the three months ended November 26, 2016. Aggregate contractual maturities of debt in future fiscal years, are as follows:
