Loan Facilities—Bank On May 18, 2012, the Company amended and restated its existing credit facility with CoBank, ACB and a syndicate of other lenders (the "Amended Credit Facility") providing for $275.0 million in two term loans and a revolver loan of up to $100.0 million (which includes a $10.0 million swingline sub-facility) and the capacity for additional term loans up to an aggregate of $100.0 million, subject to lender approval. The Company had previously amended its Amended Credit Facility to provide for an additional $55 million letter of credit sub-facility to its revolver loan to be available for issuance in connection with the Company's Mobility Fund Grant obligations. On June 17, 2013, the Company issued approximately $29.8 million in letters of credit to the Universal Service Administrative Company to secure a portion of the pending awards of approximately $68.8 million of Mobility Fund Grants to certain of its subsidiaries. In connection with the Company's sale of its Alltel business on September 20, 2013, it notified the FCC and USAC that it would no longer be eligible to perform under the terms and conditions of the Alltel Mobility Funds. At that time, USAC chose not to draw any amounts under our letter of credit securing the Alltel Mobility Funds and the Company terminated $19.9 million in letters of credit on November 14, 2013. See Note 10 for further information about the Mobility Fund. On September 20, 2013 the two term loans under the Company's Amended Credit Facility were repaid in full. The Company incurred nominal fees for the breakage of the term loans that were incurring interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In addition, the Company recorded approximately $4.7 million in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2013 related to accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the term loans. Amounts borrowed under the term loans bore interest through September 20, 2013 at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging between 2.00% to 4.00% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 3.00%. The base rate was equal to the higher of (i) 1.50% plus the higher of (x) the one-week LIBOR and (y) the one-month LIBOR; or (ii) the prime rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility). The applicable margin was determined based on the ratio of our indebtedness (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility) to our EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility). Amounts borrowed under the revolver loan bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging between 2.00% to 3.50% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.50% (or, in the case of amounts borrowed under the swing-line sub-facility, an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.00%.) We must also pay a fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% of the average daily unused portion of the revolver loan over each calendar quarter, which fee is payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. The Amended Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility contains financial covenants by the Company that (i) impose a maximum leverage ratio of indebtedness to EBITDA, (ii) require a minimum debt service ratio of EBITDA to principal, interest and taxes payments and (iii) require a minimum ratio of equity to consolidated assets. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility as amended. Note Payable—Other In connection with the CellOne Merger with M3 Wireless, Ltd., the Company assumed a term loan of approximately $7.0 million owed to Keytech Ltd., the former parent company of M3 and current 42% minority shareholder in the Company's Bermuda operations. This term loan, which bore interest at 7% per annum, was repaid in full in July 2013. The Company believed that the carrying value of its loan facilities and note payable approximated fair value which was based on quoted market prices and fell within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. A level 2 hierarchy was applied based on level of trade activity associated with the Company's debt.
