Debt | Note 11 – Debt We have a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders that provides for an unsecured total revolving commitment of $570 million as of November 30, 2014. The commitment under the Credit Agreement terminates on December 30, 2015. Borrowings accrue interest under one of two alternative methods as described in the Credit Agreement. With each borrowing against our credit line, we can elect the interest rate method based on our funding needs at the time. We also incur loan commitment fees and letter of credit fees under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. As of November 30, 2014, the outstanding revolving loan principal balance was $440 million and there were $0.77 million of open letters of credit outstanding against the Credit Agreement. For the fiscal quarter and year-to-date ended November 30, 2014, borrowings under the Credit Agreement incurred interest charges at rates ranging from 1.90 to 4.38 percent for both periods. For the fiscal quarter and year-to-date ended November 30, 2013, borrowings under the Credit Agreement incurred interest charges at rates ranging from 1.17 to 3.25 percent and 1.17 to 3.63 percent, respectively. As of November 30, 2014, the amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement was $129.23 million. A summary of our long-term debt is as follows:

The remaining loan balance is payable as follows: $1.90 million on March 1 in each of 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022; $3.80 million on March 1, 2016; $5.70 million on March 1, 2017; and $14.81 million on March 1, 2023. Any remaining outstanding principal and interest is due upon maturity on March 1, 2023.
| (2) |  | Floating interest rates were hedged with an interest rate swap to effectively fix interest rates while the Senior Notes were outstanding. Additional information regarding the swap is provided in Note 14 to these consolidated condensed financial statements.
The fair market value of the fixed rate debt at November 30, 2014, computed using a discounted cash flow analysis was $82.67 million compared to the $80 million book value and represents a Level 2 liability. Our other long-term debt has floating interest rates, and its book value approximates its fair value at November 30, 2014. All of our debt is unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Our debt agreements require the maintenance of certain financial covenants, including maximum leverage ratios, minimum interest coverage ratios and minimum consolidated net worth levels (as each of these terms is defined in the various agreements). Our debt agreements also contain other customary covenants, including, among other things, covenants restricting or limiting the Company, except under certain conditions set forth therein, from (1) incurring debt, (2) incurring liens on its properties, (3) making certain types of investments, (4) selling certain assets or making other fundamental changes relating to mergers and consolidations, and (5) repurchasing shares of our common stock and paying dividends. As of November 30, 2014, our debt agreements effectively limited our ability to incur more than $149.11 million of additional debt from all sources, including the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with the terms of these agreements as of November 30, 2014.
