Total debt, net of unamortized loan fees | $ | 416,879 |  |  | $ | 299,899 |
The Term Loans bear interest at one-month term SOFR plus a margin. The margin is variable and determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Interest is paid monthly. The weighted-average interest rate was 6.42% for the Term Loans at December 31, 2024. Shentel is charged commitment fees on unutilized portions of its Revolver and Term Loans. The Company recorded $0.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million related to these fees for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest expense recorded in Shentel’s consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following for the years ended:

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest |  | $ | 15,897 |  |  | $ | 4,212 |  |  | $ | 1,577 |
The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, including total net leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio financial covenants. Shentel’s Term Loans require quarterly payments based on a percentage of the outstanding balance. Term Loan A-1 matures on July 1, 2026 and both Term Loan A-2 and Term Loan A-3 mature on July 1, 2028. The following table summarizes the expected payments of Shentel’s outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024:
(in thousands) |  | Amount
2025 |  | $ | 9,504 |
2026 |  | 140,063 |
2027 |  | 6,294 |
2028 |  | 262,096 |
Total |  | $ | 417,957 |
Shentel has not made any borrowings under its Revolver as of December 31, 2024. In the event borrowings are made in the future, the entire outstanding principal amount borrowed is due June 30, 2026. Although no borrowings have been executed under the Revolver, Shentel has executed letter of credit arrangements totaling $7.0 million that reduce the available balance of the Revolver. The letter of credit arrangements were executed primarily pursuant to the requirements of the National Telecommunications and Information government grant program, discussed further in Note 15, Government Grants. These amounts are not considered borrowed, as no cash has been disbursed to Shentel or other parties. The Credit Agreement is fully secured by a pledge and unconditional guarantee from the Company and all of its subsidiaries, except Shenandoah Telephone Company. This provides the lenders a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.
